[~So will I grow, so live, so die...~]

[rhylee]

((Must....speak....OLD ENGLISH!!!!!))

Deep ice blue eyes would stare out into the crowd. Humans in the back were rehearsing and shaking out their worries before stage presence. Literally. Hermia had to avoid flailing hands and legs as some shook lose. One human in particular was nervous, as she always was before a show.
"Ah, well, hello there Mini Me." the human chuckled, patting Hermia on the head gently.
"Would you help me practice?"
The young bitch tilt her head and licked the humans hand softly before silently refusing her offer by turning around and looking over her shoulder with eyes closed. A way of saying "no" to the humans, as the other stage dogs did.
She heard the human whimper behind her, and Hermia grinned softly to herself. Tail swaying, she sat herself down underneath the shade of a large tree, ears erect and swiveling to pic up any odd sound coming from the village of Hallow.
"Ah," she sighed, leaning against the tree's trunk slowly, watching as the human who acted 'Hermia' in the play rehearse her lines with the man acting as 'Lysander'. The young dog mouthed the words the woman spoke, as she knew every one by heart. And why shouldn't she? She had been with this group for just a little over three years now.

"If then true lovers have been ever cross'd,
It stands as an edict in destiny:
Then let us teach our trial...-" she was cut off as she suddenly overheard a small group of village dogs speaking of that pack she wanted to seek, Hallow.
"Eh! You there!" she shouted to the dogs, pushing herself up from the soft lush grass to carry herself over to the small group.
"Thou speak of Hallow? What is this, Hallow? Oh, I do entreat your grace to pardon me." she added respectfully, lowering her fore half in a bow.
The other dogs. They stared. Was she crazy? Who spoke like that? What was this language anyways?
They laughed and strolled off just as Hermia lifted herself again.
"Oh, hell!" she snarled and lay with a hard thud.

"So will I grow, so live, so die, my lord." she said at the exact moment the human woman did.
"Will I never learn of Hallow? Shall I be lost in dreams for eternity?" she sighed, leaning back to lay completely on her side.
None would accept her with the way she was. None.
At least, that's what it seems.

throughout Hermia's public humiliation a raggedy young fox -dog came hesitantly around the corner of a building, a bulky piece of meat dangling from his maw. bearing in mind he had no human home due to his loathe of human pups and humans in a broad-spectrum, he frequently stole from numerous butchers and houses. Which typically ended up in a dash for his existence, though this instance he had gotten away effortlessly. Once he rounded the corner he park himself and looked around as to make sure he was not in harms way and leisurely began to consume his fill. The fox mix was relatively undersized possibly a runt and regularly went by Terro or Interro a Italian name he had given himself once his parents had abandon him and his sisters. Terro had recently taken residence here in Hallow village his first real home, Terro didn’t quite know if he liked the feeling of belonging or not but for the time being the thought would caring no value .He now glanced up from his bountiful feast just noticing the sulking dog. Terro stood unhurriedly, stretched, and picked up the meat in his jaws once aging and carried it over to Hermia. "Ello." Terro beamed still holding the piece of meat in his jaws causing his hello to be slightly muffled." I'm Interro or Terro for short." He grinned dropping the still large piece of torn meat. " Would you like some?" He offered pushing it towards her his paw and quickly continued." don’t be bothered by them." He said referring to the large group of dog who had laughed at her earlyer. "There nothin'n but lonely wanna-B’s, they laughed at me the first time I ask if I could join 'um." He thought for a second and reluctantly finished. " And then chased me thinking I might be some kind of a meal.... Dogs around here do actually eat fox." He snickered then thought for a moment that he was indeed talking to a dog from here. "Oh, well some dogs." He faked a smile hoping she was not in the mood for fox his kind and respectfulness commonly got him into trouble.

((YUS! A Person!! ^-^))

The young dog sighed softly, then jerked upright quickly as keen velvet ears picked up sounds of paw steps. She looked around her, tall ears erect and swiveling, then she caught sight of the fox-dog type breed. Hermia tilt her head, then a soft smile graced her maw. She quickly pushed herself up into a standing position, lowering her fore half in a respectful bow.
"Good 'morrow!" she smiled, her voice so soft and creamy.
"Many pleasure to beseech your grace fair Interro. I am named Hermia, nymph divine as most shall." she then shut herself up. Maybe he would laugh at her too? The way she spoke. It was strange to the others, was it not?

The fox-dog must have liked her company, as he offered her a piece of his meal.
"Oh, I don't mean to impose, kind Sir." she sighed softly, sniffing at the meat with hunger in her eyes.
"Perhaps, methinks, just a small portion?" she ripped a piece of the piece and woofed it down quickly, licking her jowls afterward and smiling softly to the mixed breed before her.
Though he was slightly smaller than her, she could see that he was strong enough to take care of himself. She took heed of his comment about the group of dogs she had confronted and growled slightly.
"Oh, them? They do not bother me so much. They, may find me strange, queer; but that is their mindless thoughts. Not thine." she looked him over, tilting her head once more, than sitting herself down slowly.

"Thou? A tasteless meal for thy tongue." she snapped, thinking it completely wrong for anyone to eat another of their kind, even if they were of different breed.
"I assure you, young gentleman, that I shall not lay one claw on you." she smiled softly, touching noses with him gentle in a sign of respect.
He spoke to her as if she were not some horrible, ugly, circus act.
He spoke to her, like a friend wold speak to another friend.
Hermia liked that.
She liked that.

[tefruit]

"Well ello Hermia...uhhh the pleasure is all mine." Terro Grinned. He very much liked the way that this female spoke, though had a slight complexity comprehending it. " But truly please call me Terro." he smiled cocking his head to some extent.

He grinned." I actually don’t get much company I've been a wander for quiet some time." He pause realizing how off subject he was and watched as she eagerly tore a piece of meat of the huge slab that lay before her." You seem to be rather hungry, do you live on yourself or do you have.... human help?" Terro ask simply out a curiosity, though he had a very small likening for human companionship he would have rather known this delicate female was being cared for rather then scrounging around the streets and alleyways like him.
" I'm thankful you did not take those mutts seriously I doubt then even live here." He said firmly nodding to himself.

When Hermia added that she had no taste for fox Terro quickly replied. " Thank god." Terro sigh laughing a little to himself, he was quite overjoyed that Hermia would not devour him. " I personally don’t understand why some dogs eat foxes but I guess that’s why this is the first real home I've had." He laughed lying down in front of her. She was so very kind he thought to himself happily even to a horrible misfit like himself she nether neither growled nor barked. In mid thought Terro’s overly large ears flew straight up. " Was the sound of humans?" He mumbled low enough for Hermia to hear though it was not directed toward her. Terro quickly leaped up tail straight out in case Hermia or himself were now every close to danger.

((Ahah, take your time Wesley, no rush ^-^, I'll wait for you to post, so you don't have to change it anymore. x3))

[Wesley]

.ooc. Thanks. ^^ It would've helped the posting order if you'd posted, though. But that's fine. I went along with the play thingy. I also skipped some things as it seemed like they were just talking. I have some other RPs to reply to today so I want to get those done quickly.

.ic.
The alpha dog was silently checking out the play that the humans have been rehearsing for only a few moments. He knew most of the dialogue now because they have been rehearsing for a while and Wes had stopped by to listen as he loved how they had spoken and he liked trying to figure out their positions on the stage. They would be performing soon, but Wesley had a lot of work to do and won’t be around to hear much of it for his own enjoyment, but they will be doing the same play soon—hopefully.

But a female dog voice had caught the better of his attention and his head turned toward the sound while his body stayed put. She was asking of Hallow when she was obviously oblivious that she was in the Hallow Villages right now. Keeping his distance for just a little longer, he smelled Terro coming alone to her. He allowed the two to exchange a small and short conversation before he decided that he should come in as well for the tea party. He liked the way she talked and seemed to have a lot of knowledge but not enough to know where she was at all times. Wes thought he had marked every inch of the boarders of Hallow but she may have missed it which was understandable.

He walked toward the two slowly as usual so he wouldn’t bump into anything. He knew these parts well enough already from his virtual map but the humans liked to move things around a lot so he had to be cautious. Things usually stayed the same all the time though, like buildings and where the humans slept and basically lived, but not all of them as they move to another building sometimes for reasons unknown to the dog.

Coming up to the dog and what seemed to be a dog/fox mix he lifted his head higher and he did know exactly where they were, he knew he was facing them by their scent and the odd feeling that he always got that he was being watched. He never let that bother him and though he will never know what these two dogs look like, he can make a mental image. He has a mental image of what Echo looks like, but he knows that it could never be anything like the real Echo as even if she was an ugly hag, he wouldn’t care as he would still love her. The same went for these two, if they were as beautiful as a rose or ugly as your grandmother’s feet, he wouldn’t have a care in the world as long as they were good hearted.

First, he would talk to Terro as he knew him already. “Good to see you again, Terro. Liking the things to discover around Hallow?” Wesley stopped for a second as he remembered the female that Terro was talking to. “Do you have any intentions of staying in Hallow, miss?”

.ooc. The posting order will be this, since I'm a RP neat-freak and need to have things in order. xD

Rhylee

Even though a posting order is up, other people can still join. Rhylee's turn now. ^^

[rhylee]

((Yay! ^-^ Sorry, perhaps I should have posted. Ah, well, I now know the order, so thanks!))

Hermia chuckled softly at the fox-dogs attempt in speaking the way she did. True, it was hard to comprehend most times, few could barley speak it let alone pay attention to it; which was a shame, as it was a very beautiful language.
"Good enough try." she smiled softly, unnoticed brows would scrunch together as a sneeze made way from her coal black nose.
The young bitch lift a paw to rub at her nose, then she laughed softly.
"Oh, I must excuse myself!" she shook her head, lowering her ears as she heard one of the humans shouting to another.
Movement caught her eye, and she whipped her head around quickly, tilting her head to see a stumbling male dog make his way toward the them. Not taking to much heed of him a first, she assumed it was one of those dogs that had mocked her earlier. Perhaps attempting to mock the limp she had at the moment, from a human stepping on her back paw a few days back.

"A wanderer? Kind sir, if I may, thou shall not find thou self lonely these next few days." her smile broadened, meaning that she would be there for him if need be.
Ignoring his statement about the group of dogs earlier, she watched him with some concern when the fox-dog crossbreed jumped up with a start. She too leaped to her paws, then tilt her head.
"Humans?" she watched him intently.
Was he afraid?
She looked over her shoulder, then the smile returned to her maw. Hermia sat once more.
"Oh, the people. They mean no harm. Thou art afeard of them, are you not? They, the people, they belong to me. Nothing to fret over." she chuckled softly, then watched the stumbling dog come closer.

He was not, in fact mocking her. But, by the look of his eyes, and the way he took caution, he was in fact blind. She gasped slightly, realizing at once that it was the Alpha of the Hallow Pack. The descriptions most other dogs gave her, and the way he smelt and the way he carried himself, with a proud demeanor, just spelled out. Leader.
"Oh! I beseech your grace, m'lord!" she quickly fell into a bow as he approached them, then realized he was not talking with her, but with Interro.
The two knew each other.
Then, the Alpha spoke to her.
"Aye, m'lord. Thine people, and I, we shan't stay long though, as within seven moons, we shall be off once more. Searching, high, low grounds, for towns." she paused, then sighed softly, happily.
This was her chance.
"If I may, m'lord. I would be honored to stay with thou self. The, long waits, and travels about has made myself nauseous. Thou art, Alpha Wesley. Am I correct with this assumption?" she asked, though she already knew the truth. He was in fact.
"Oh, but where have my manners gone! I am, fair Hermia." she bowed once more, lifting one fore paw to her chest, the pads touching the fur of her chest just barley.

((Terro's turn!! xD))

[tefruit]

((Sorry I was kinda rushed))

Terro swiftly left his cautious position when he heard the alpha speak; Terro had been too preoccupied to notice Wesley had been coming. Terro hurriedly snapped down into a very sharp bow making sure his back was kept away from the humans. "Its so very nice to see you aging sir." He smiled trying to sound as polite and well mannered as a scruffy little alley mutt could. Terro quickly shot Hermia a joyful glance, Terro could tell she wanted nothing more than to stay in Hallow village and this could be her chance Terro was also was rather blissful he would have some companionship. Terro still remained in a bow but turned his head excitedly to face Hermia.” You’ll be a wander no more.” Terro thought to himself, those words that hermia spoke ran rapidly around his mind. He had some one! Some who would neither attack nor bark at him someone to possibly call a friend! Hastily his expression faded into a grim snarl once he heard a human shout some random nonsense at another. He loathed humans every since the day his parents never came back, but could he trust Hermia with the bleak story or would she even understand, she knew humans to well to believe they could every do such a thing, That happened to be the same mistake his father had also made. Terro leisurely brought his head back down in his bowing position attempting to shake the memory away. If he was going too tell Hermia it would have to be when Wesley wasn’t around Terro figured you could probably get kicked out of Hallow, for it was a human and animal town all animals that didn’t like human Terro guessed were out.

[Wesley]

Indeed the female did talk foreign. Wesley had a hard time contemplating what she had said but he got by and knew what she said in a basic. He didn’t understand what she meant by “If I may, m'lord. I would be honored to stay with thou self. The, long waits, and travels about has made myself nauseous. Thou art, Alpha Wesley. Am I correct with this assumption?” But he decided to ask what she meant but not in a rude way. Just after that, she had finally said her name was Hermia. A name new to the dog.

He turned back to Terro and nodded, acknowledging what he had said even though it seemed that he wasn’t paying attention to him, and rather to Hermia. Wesley thought it was nice that the two could be friends. Terro didn’t exactly have the very best welcome from some stray dogs his first steps into Hallow, and it seemed like yesterday if not that it had happened.

Looking back at Hermia, he finally forced himself to ask… “The way I try to translate your last message—you want to stay in Hallow. Correct?” He didn’t hope for anything, she would be a fine dog to stay in Hallow but if she didn’t want to stay then that was fine. He also wouldn’t be embarrassed if he had translated the way she talked wrong, he wasn’t the type that would pray that he was always right. Even Alphas make mistakes, it’s nature.
