Thread: Alpha and Omega (SilverDreamer x JacksAreWild)

Sasha cringed slightly as Azuras eyes narrowed. Apparently that had been the wrong question to ask her new friend. While there had been no malice or judgment behind her inquiry, Azura had apparently taken it as a little stab towards her capability. And so, in an attempt to smooth things over, Sasha tried to clear up any misconceptions by. I didnt mean to offendI justthought that becauseyou know women dont really go camping Sashas voice trailed off as she realized the ridiculousness of her statement. She was a woman and she liked to go camping. But Sasha wasnt really a typical woman. She had been raised mostly by her father and so had grown up doing many boy things that girls didnt like to participate in because the activities were too messy or too physical. Still, that first sentences hadnt been a really good one, so she tried again. I mean, most women you knowcook and sew and Her second attempt may have been even worse than the first. Despite her efforts to smooth over the flash of irritation she had seen in Azuras eyes, Sasha couldnt help but feel as though she were on a sinking ship as each wave of stupid managed its way out of her mouth. Ahhhh youre making it worse! Stop talking! And so Sasha clammed right up, rather than throw out even more gender stereotypes that would likely make her traveling companion want to punch her in the face. Truly she had only meant the question as a sort of gauge to figure out where their strengths lay, not as a jab at Azura and insinuating that she was weak. Though, if she were entirely honest with herself, a small part of her had been nervous that Azuras more privileged life would equate with her being unable to take care of herself once all the benefits that came with being an Alpha was removed. And yes, she had feared that her charge would be completely and utterly useless in the wild. But as Azura went over her strengths when it came to camping, Sasha nodded a little bit. Azura was apparently no ordinary noble woman and the young wolf would have to stop thinking of her as some porcelain doll that was fragile and incapable of taking care of itself. I ah I dont doubt your abilities. I justwanted to know Grrrrr!!! In all fairness, Azura had looked kind of cute when she was mad, couple that with Sashas massive crush on the Alpha, the hunger in her belly, and the fatigue that pulled at her eyelids, and it was of little wonder that she was unable to speak. How about you go hunt and Ill set up camp? Sasha said after awhile. She had the slight feeling that if she wandered off far in her search for food, shed end up losing her way. And while Miss Esme had given her the necklace with the thought of the North Star keeping Sasha on track, she wasnt entirely confident in the power of good luck charms when her own luck was so horrible. So, while Azura got ready to hunt, Sasha went ahead and started unstrapping and unbuckling their gear from the horses, groaning softly as her own tent managed to spring forth and fall to the ground in a mix of poles ropes and canvas. Greatjust great She made a mental note to pick it up and tie it down better next time, but left the tent where it lay so that she could start on more important things like letting the horses graze and starting a fire for them and their dinner.
