Grab the hook, onto the fish[Kai]

[Itsume]

The woman tore at the bones hastily from the rabbit she had just recently eaten. White tail padding the dust into the ground, even though it was more of mud then anything. The rain had brought some sense of happiness to the desert. Itsume knew Riv had chosen this place because she had grown up here but, come on the desert? Sometimes she didn't get it, otherwise, everyone was just plain stupid. Her violet eyes looking out as she slightly giggled. The pack was growing and she and Zakuro were still left out from the rest. Like they were supposed to as well. Her paws wrapped around the bones like some sort of hug as she pulled her tongue over it.

Times like this was when she was alone, but when was istume ever with someone? She didn't entirely make friends well, before she met Riv she caused all sorts of trouble for her family. One thing she enjoyed was seeing the look on the adults faces when she was a pup. She still liked seeing them now when something was torn out from under their noses. She wasn't entirely the nicest girl around the block. When it came to a fight, she loved the pain and the blood.

[Kai Tavos]

A steady pace he made himself, as he walked across the lands not noticing anything out of the ordinary. His duel colored eyes scanned the path that he treaded upon, in search of nothing. Yes that was indeed correct, Kai was in search of nothing and he did not even know the reasons behind that. Kai slowly made his way across the lands head held high, and his tail swaying in a gentle motion. He was relaxed, not happy, not sad, not scared, just relaxed. The skies were clear and it seemed like the place was just crying out to the residents of this earth.

He soon came upon a female off in the distance, Kai could tell that this dame was someone from the pack. He looked at her for a few more seconds before he decided to make his way over to her. Kai slowly but confidently made his way to the dame and with a kind smile and a wag of a tail he spoke a calm hello to the dame. "Hello their, I am , Kai Tavos. I don't think we have meet before.

(sorry for the short response)

[Itsume]

Oh great it was a gentleman wasn't it? She dropped the bone she had been chewing on, her violet eyes looking at him. Well didn't he have nice coloring, Itsume knew she had to be mildly nice otherwise Riv would be upset. More than often, she'd be thrown in jail. Probably more than not be a regular, she made a odd cocky smile. It didn't mean she could have a little fun couldn't she? Standing up she flicked her tail, raising an eyebrow to the boy. Who was obviously taller, but itsume could be a bit intimidating at times. "Hell, pretty boy. My name is Itsume, and no we haven't. My name is Itsume I'm part of a special squad who work for the mistress Riv." Her eyes sparkled a bit as she tried to press her nose against the tip of his then step back. Though once she did she gave a small snort and turned away.

"So what made you want to join the kingdom?" She asked turning towards him. Itsume may have been rude, but once someone proved their worth she may have backed off a bit. Generally the woman was more, snappy and grotesque compared to the others of her rank. Some even amazed Riv had taken in such a girl, but loyalty ran deep in her veins. She knew that one thing to be sure.

[Kai Tavos]

Kai studied this female, she seemed to pull off this bad, tough girl type. He stood their, his duel colored eyes gazing in to her violet ones as she presed her nose up to his. His ears fell a bit with curiosity as to what this dame was up to, but Kai just remained his position and watched her. He listened as she spoke to him, telling him her name was Itsume and that she was apart of a special squad for miss Riv. Kai could not help but think to him self that this female had a huge ego that seemes to make her come off as a bitch. On the other hand he also drew the conclusion that she was just a bitch in general, a loyal one at that, according to her words she spoke.

He listened intently as she asked him why he joined Raggs, He let out a smirk and took a seat upon his haunches. He did not care if this dame wanted to try to intimidate him she can go do that, but Kai knew it would not work. "Well Itsume if you must know, i joined Raggs due to the shire strength the alpaness holds. See i follow leaders whom show a great since in strength, not only physical but mental as well. " He spoke his tail gently gliding across the ground as if he did not notice the dames attempts of intimidation.

[Itsume]

It was the simple fact that Itsume liked to be intimidating, but she never threw a fit over it if she wasn't. Life went on and she wasn't one to judge, not after all her family, as well as the time Denki's family committed suicide. Power wasn't everything in the world, she knew that, and this boy didn't seem to know that. "One is only as strong as their friends make them out to be boy." A king who thought he was strong alone, could only fall in the end. She approached him and pulled her head over his shoulder before spinning around and flicking her tail under his chin. She had to have her fun, Itsume got rather bored if she was left alone too long. She had her own reasons, and if another didn't understand it, well tough luck to them. Sitting across from Kai, Itsume blinked her eyes. "Rivaxorus is far from a strong leader, she is simply living life the way she thinks it should be lived. Her family runs on thin blood of killers. She amazes nearly everyone she comes in contact with. It was the same when Vahva stepped down." She explained her eyes glaring at him.

Itsume gave a yawn before flicking her tail back and forth. "My name is Itsume, I am part of the no tiers." She finally introduced herself. She wondered what kind of man this wolf was. After all it took a lot to wow her, after seeing Riv, and what she had gone through, it took a lot a lot. Riv was something else, something stupid, but smart at the same time. "Are you thinking of applying for the military?" Itsume asked. Tilting her head to one side as she waited for him to answer. By now he was probably sickened by her though, not that she cared.

[Kai Tavos]

Kai sat their and listened to her go on and on about how a leader is only as strong as their friends, and by the way she spoke she was not that fond of Kai's reason as to join. He chuckled a bit as the female attempted to intimidate him, To him she just simply miss understood the mental and physical strength he was referring to. Kai sat their listening to her talk as if she was some kind of viper trying to make a pointless kill. He came to his paws calmly and looked at that dame in the eyes, after all her glaring at him only indicated that she needed that satisfaction of intimidation. "One is only strong as their friends make them out to be, so that is the words you live by. I can tell that you think i have not had my share of experiences in that field, but i have. It is not only friends who determine how strong one is, it is also their mental believe that they are as strong as well. You can have a lot of friends who think you are strong, but no matter what they say you will never be strong unless you also believe in your self."

He spoke as he glared back at her, Kai knew that this female has experience behind her, and knows what she is talking about. To Kai it looks like she acts upon her own thought and wanting to believe she is right, so that is where the intimidation comes in. When she spoke that Rivaxorus was not a strong leader Kai could not help at to laugh at that, could she not see below the surface, under the emotions, under the words. Rivaxours is indeed a strong leader, to him this seems like Itsume had no faith in the young Alphaness. "I see you are mistaken, Rivaxours is indeed a strong leader. It takes strength to live a life the way you think is right regardless of what others think. And you must be even stronger to hold back something that runs in your veins. Not saying that she won't fall victim to what is in her blood, but the fact that she is much stronger than you believe she is. Being such a friend of her's is hard to believe that you did not have full confidence in her strength."

His gaze remained steady on her, Kai could tell that this female had a sure pleasure of succeeding to intimidate someone. His ears laid back in confusion, Itsume introduced her self again to him, was this dame loosing her mind due to age. Kai took a seat once more, his gaze still at Itsume, his tail swayed gently as he studied the old dame. "Itsume, we already exchanged introduction. Did you forget." He sat their and listened to her before she responded to his statement, she asked if he was going to join the military of the pack. Kai had not put much thought in to that, but in other words he will. "The military, yes i would like to join that rank. Although i will be happy with what ever position Rivxours bestows upon me."

[Itsume]

Itsume's ears flicked, as her head tilted as he spoke. His words were smart, well thought out. As well as pointing out her former introduction, well he wasn't as dumb as he looked was he. Itsume knew Riv personally, it didn't look like she did but she did. What she had been repeating were Rivaxorus' words herself. From even a young child she had to deal with the weight of the world, without her friends she would have fallen crumbled. When Itsume came back to Rivaxorus after she gave birth to his son, she had fallen her heart over to the dark side. Honestly the lady was jealous, and just like that Denki and Riv's brother were able to pull her away from that darkness. The words she spoke may have made no sense, but they made every sense of being towards the queen. Itsume closed her eyes at one point, the team had a habit of testing members. Testing on how well they knew the queen, how well, they wanted to know her. In the end, things were far different from what they appeared to be, from every aspect and angle.

Itsume was done with her little game, a slight flick of the tail as the conversation took turn towards the military. "One cannot just, be satisfied with the rank they are given. You are given a choice here, you move up if you want, Riv never can tell another what to do unless she truely wants. Kai, I have been at her side since she was a mere yearling. I know more about Riv than most, though Denki, may know more, than anyone or anything will ever know about the scarred queen. Her past is bloody, if you wish to hear it bring it up with her." She suggest giving a curt nod of her head. Kai was a smart boy, but he still had a lot to learn about the world, about Riv. About how she worked things, and who she was. Itsume pulled her head down as well as her body relaxing.

"Kai, you are a smart boy, it is our job to protect, to guide, and make life fun for you. That is what the Raggs kingdom exists for. And if anyone picks a fight with us, we have our ways of getting to them." Itsume scratched herself behind the ear, pulling a paw forward, she caught a cricket between her toes. "Not everyone can look at life the way the queen has, many stand by her because they are either afraid of the beast inside, or are jealous." This may have made no sense towards him, but what she spoke was the truth. Itsume, Denki, Zakuro, all three of them, were possibly the only ones left that she truly payed attention to. Unless someone became closer of course, and that was obviously a fun adventure in itself.

[Kai Tavos]

This dame did hold a lot of wisdom with in her soul, the kind that one should learn from, and take the advice from. That is what Kai intended to do, he would learn from those who have the most to offer, and even from those who did not have that much to offer. To him they all can have important life lessons that would help the youth of today. He stood their as the dame spoke about how this pack you have a choice of the rank you want. That did catch Kai off guard, he had never encountered a pack like this before. In away he liked how this pack ran, it ran smoothly with so much opportunity that He was a bit over whelmed. Though Kai was over whelmed on the inside he remained a cool collective self on the out side, to the trained eye they could tell by the darkness in his eyes, that he had witnessed battle and death. Itsume spoke of how well she knows the queen, and he listened to every word she spoke.

Kai waited until she finished speaking about how the pack wants to make life fun for those like him, and that most others follow Rivaxours from being jealous of her or Scared of her. Kai felt a bit of sorrow for the young queen, but he shook it off, after all he could not change that. The only thing that he could change is the reasons he will follow her, at this time he could not put a reason behind why he will, only time will tell him and he knew that. "The words you speak i will keep them in mind. As for those who stand beside the young Queen due to the are scared of her, or jealous. I personally cannot say what my reasons are at this moment, I would rather get to know her more than what her past is or what the rumors say. I personally don't have a well past, and if it was me i would want someone to follow me for me, not out of fear of that that runs in my veins, or out of jealousy. I am sure that the young Queen has thought about that at some point."

Kai paused for a bit and also took a seat upon his haunches and looked at Istume some more, he was not sure why, or where these words came from him. It was like he felt like the Young Queen had some similarities to him, but that was a long shot from being true. His ears fell back, as he listened to the rustleing from a rabbit behind him, he could not help but think on how peiceful that rabbit seemed from far away, but he knew that up close that rabbit was constantly on high alert for danger. Kai soon came back to his thoughts and spoke once more about the rank that he will hold. "I will become apart of the military, I want to stand by Rivaxours, even though i have not found my reasons behind it yet."

[Itsume]

It was more of a legacy then anything, Riv had a legacy, more than the three would ever had apart from their assisting leisure's. By a young age Riv was forced to grow up, sure she had Denki and her teacher Jayden, but it never made life any more easy for the pup. Itsume listened to Riv tell her story every time, because she wanted others to know where she came from who she was, so she wasn't shrouded in mystery. Every time she told the story it was the same. Recalling those memories, remembering those souls, all of it. It rather impressed the lady, that was for sure. She laughed a bit though, Riv really had to spend some time with this guy, it would indeed have an effect on his mind.

"Riv carries her past as a medal, hanging around her neck at a constant rate. The trinket she wears around her left paw is proof of that. Whenever she shares it, its because she believes someone can handle it, otherwise they may just shriek and run off. Leaving her rather sad. Sometimes the lady is rather childish, but only because she never got to have a childhood." Itsume laughed a little bit, sometimes the girl didn't know what she was doing, but then Denki would stop her. Specially when she got pissed off, one thing you didn't want to do, was piss of Rivaxorus Godfree. Itsume stood up as soon as Kai mentioned joining the military.

"CONGRADULATIONS BOY, Welcome to the raggs force." She said with a strange smirk. "I'll put in a good word for you." Those who were lucky enough to get to Itsume, would definitely be rewarded. Though her actions could still be perceived as rude, around all corners of the globe.

[Kai Tavos]

Kai came to his paws as Itsume spoke to him, her words sounded heartfelt. To him that was a good thing, being devoted to someone means a good heart to him. His tail swayed gently as he looked at her, once he mentioned that he would join the military she showed a unique since of, happiness, or that is what Kai thought about her response. She spoke in a voice that sounded a bit creepy in away. Kai shook that off and he looked at her, he wanted to know more about this pack and anything that this job required. Kai looked at Itsume and spoke in a neutral tone, not to happy not to sad, "Thank you for putting a good word in for me. Riv already exsplained to me a bit about the pack. If it would not ne to much trouble, what is the ragg's military like?" Kai could not help but wonder on that topic.

[Itsume]

Itsume relaxed herself, splaying her upper body out on the cool sand. She liked these spots, if you knew where to avoid stickers then you were all set. Her tail flicked back and forth as she listened to Kai. Really she wasn't used to being around such young men, in her eyes anyway. Everything she did was rash, so she avoided others. They could go die in a hole for all she cares, as long as it wasn't Riv, Denki or Zakuro at least. Considering they were the only wolves she ever considered friends. Even if she got along with Kai or another, it didn't mean she fully considered them someone she would look after. Itsume wasn't one to just bet her money, the only time she had done that was with Riv. She yawned as he asked about how the military was like. It was a simply system, too simple if you asked her. But more complicated than most others.

"The same as the pack I suppose. The military just expects you to be willing to throw your well being away for the citizens who want to be protected. That and defend the place. We don't go running around starting fights, it's there for protection, of ourselves and others. Different squads will go to clients and deal jobs in return for favors. That's how it works. Most of the time we try to remain neutral. But we aren't afraid to kick hell into skulls if needed." Itsume explained the best that she could. If it were even possible, she had never gone on one of those missions. Not unless it was an order to detain someone at that.
