Thread: Alpha and Omega (SilverDreamer x JacksAreWild)

I'm ready Azura Sasha tried out the name with a good deal of hesitance. Of course she'd said it before, but never to the Alpha's face. Wellto her face once, when they were kids, and then Sasha had been reprimanded for speaking so boldly that she had not said the name since. It was so strange how the years had passed, how children were allowed to be friends but then drifted apart into adulthood. Not that Azura and her were ever friends, but they had at least been acquaintances. She remembered seeing the beautiful Alpha all the time when they were younger, laughing and running about with the other children and being allowed to play. Azura was so serious now Sasha wondered if the other woman ever smiled anymore. Butmaybe this was just a sad time for her and there were no smiles to be had right now. The realization that Azura was leaving for good made Sasha's heart twitch with sympathy. It must be hard for Azura to pick up and leave everything she had known behind. Dacia was so far awayshe'd probably only get to rarely see her family from this point on. Sasha couldn't imagine being parted from her family and friends like that. Oh ahnothat's fine. The young wolf nodded eagerly to show that she wouldn't mind making the little detour. Miss Esme could be a little bit of a windbag sometimes, but Sasha was sure they could make up whatever time they would miss. Besides, it might be good to ask the old woman what sort of weather was in store for them. Of course they'd probably encounter a snowstorm or two, autumn was rapidly turning into winter after all. But Sasha hoped that it would stay relatively mild for most of their journey. Maybe Miss Esme would give them a blessing to make it so. No I don't have anything--wellkindaI-- Oh wait, here, let me take those for you. Her speech was just as scatterbrained as she was it seemed. But at least the young wolf was very polite. Sasha was strong despite her slight form and didn't think that the Alpha should be burdened with bags when it was Sasha that was the lowly guard that was supposed to be escorting them. So Sasha gently pried the bags from Azura's hands as carefully as she could, because if one managed to burst open she'd probably die of embarrassment and lose any and all bravery that she was currently in possession of. There, much bettercome on. Pouty lips curled into a reassuring smile as she headed over towards the stables with the bags. I know that you're probably nervous about traveling with mebecause I have a very ahinteresting reputation Sasha's voice trailed off a little bit at the end as they walked along. 'Interesting' was a very kind way of putting it, but she didn't want to make Azura even more apprehensive by using an accurate descriptor of 'unlucky', 'hazardous', or something else that was not so nice. But I promise you won't come to any harm at all when you're with me. Their eyes met for a brief moment, and it was easy to see that Sasha meant what she said. While she couldn't make a promise that they would get there on time, she could definitely vow that Azura wasn't going to become injured on their long journey, not so long as Sasha was able to fight. When they reached horse, Sasha loaded up the bags. Because she was so accident prone, she had a tendency to check, double check, and even triple check knots and bindings to make sure things wouldn't fall out of place. When she was sure that the bags weren't going to fly free, she turned to Azura so she could help the other woman up into the saddle first, that way she could have the most comfortable spot. And then Sasha went ahead and grasped the saddle, moving to hoist herself up and over and over, and-- wait, two overs?! Sash had misjudged the height of Azura's horse and ended up launching herself clear over the saddle, around the other side, and onto the ground with a loud THUD! I'm okay! I'm okay Sasha called up weakly from the ground. Wellit could've been worseshe could've fallen into horse shit. At least she was only covered in dirt and that could be brushed off. So she scrambled onto her feet, her face and ears beet red in embarrassment. They hadn't even left yet and she was proving herself to be quite the disaster. AhI'll justwalk
