It was a beautiful mid-Summer day, the disintegrated rays of the Sun poured through the pinholes in the clouds that lazily swam underneath its lifegiving stare, the few birds that roosted in the windswept trees in the garden district of Nawlin's collaborated on together to form a disjointed symphony of chirps, tweets and other natural sounds. The few strips of light that poured through the windows contrasted the dismal days the pack, or lack thereof, had endured. Venus was gone now, and that too weighed on his mind saddled along side the terrifying reality of it: wolves of all rank and power were being taken left and right. Sirus shuddered at that thought. Nonchalantly walking through the Hookah he moved to a table all by his lonesome as he waited for Silent to appear. And while he patiently waited for her arrival he bided his time by flipping through the mental pages of his recollection of recent events. He'd come to New Orleans only a handful of months ago and already he'd met up with Silent, Ash, Milo, Chad, the sister of his wolf counterpart among many other faces he'd swore he'd never see again. Fate always seemed to remold itself however it pleased and it was at this point, with him silently thumbing through his life's history that he wondered if he could ever evade its wrath. Metaphysically speaking the white washed beast paced impatiently with the potential of rekindling its relationship with its biological seizing its muscles. They slept together often, sure, but it wasn't anything like this. Talking about the events that took place between their hiatus, possible forgiveness, everything evacuated into his head at once. His shields were rended in two to give her an unfettered look at her beast's child if she so wished to see it.
Today makes three. Three days of cooking though to of them had been spent at the Eden over at Decay...But the Capt had chased her from there ranting on something along the lines that she was gonna run them poor with all the cooking she was doing...That he already had to come up with a idea to sell all that she had made thus far....So to the Hookah she went. Her mind twisting and turning more then the catacombs that ran under this city. There was those linger feelings that she thought died since Ash arrived. Her blowing Gellers shit out the water cause the sight of Llydia made her loose her temper...Then of course Geller was another issue. Silent couldnt understand him...He spoke of equality amoungst the paranormal yet tried to hide what he was. Silent couldnt wrap her mind around the idea of ever hiding who and what she was...She never even attempted to. She was proud of the fact that she was a lycanthrope..Could trace back her sires down to the orginal. That outside of Nyx she was the only female to survive the change. Sighing she would slam the door to the oven...Leaving the crawfish cornbread to bake. Silent had heard the movements in the lounge but figure it was Nyx going about her daily routine. But it wasnt till his scent wafted in that Sil found it was the brooding pup instead. Untying the apron as she moved threw the swingin metal doors those tri colored eyes would fall on Sirus. "Long week huh?" Part of her want to run to him share all the secrets that she had kept over the seven years since Salem...But she held back even as she move to curl up beside him her dread locked head resting on his shoulder. No she didnt hate him. None of those feelings that existed in Salem...None of them were there. Life...Death...Love..Nyx..Heart break..And Love again had happened. Sirus was hers...He always would be her spoiled prince. Even as Nyx proved to be advancing faster then she had seen any wolf do over the four years since infecting the girl. Nyx was Silents heart...But...So too was Sirus...
"Long doesn't do it justice, it feels like an eternity's washing over me at this very moment." Sirus half smiled, half frowned. With Alex being the first to be captured, then Geller and his subsequent hospitalization to Venus being the newest abductee the daydreams he had swam in uncertainty. Who would be next? Would it be someone close to him? Someone outside of the pack? Or would he be the next to be extracted from Silent's house? A sigh beckoned to be released but instead of allowing his stress to be seen publicly Sirus chose to cork it up and extend the reach of his smile to the corners of his mouth. Warmth... He missed that feeling when Silent would curl up next to him on those lonely nights - nights that felt like Hell itself sought to purchase your soul, when everything in the world seemed against you - he missed that deeply. He'd been without a solidly structured pack for five years. It was torture to the poor wolf nestled inside his head. The lonely hunts that almost always ended in failure had weakened it over the long hiatus Sirus had imposed upon himself. Submissive steps brought the white wolf over to its shadow of a mother and like any good pup bowing to its parent it immediately went to licking her muzzle for approval.
"I think I might like Dee... A lot. I think I found myself all those years we lost together, you and I, because I'm taking steps with her. We've been going out on dates for almost three months now." He remembered his old stigma like a bad habit. He would always foolishly rush into relationships without thinking about them or what the other person thought; there wasn't any development between them, no solid foundation born from patience, it was just the heat of the moment kind of deal that almost always came with strings to it. He'd crashed and burned so many times that just thinking about it sent violent spasms down the course of his spine. After he got that off his chest he let his fingers idlely wander through the tiers of Silent's multicolored mane. "So where's the rest of the pack? There are a lot of scents missing..."
Those usually vibrant colorful hues would darken a moment when he mentioned seeing someone again. "oh? Are you sure..This time?" It was nothing against Sirus. She has just witnessed the damnage he unleashed when it came to his love life. "Just be careful.For both of you." Long tattooed fingers played with the frayed tears in her jeans. Silent didnt believe in love anymore...Sure she loved people freely. But the love she once believe existed in Salem was tucked away with other childish things. And sure...Sil and the Capt had something close to love... Once upon a time. But her feelings for Ash always chased any feelings she could have developed for anyone. Shaking her head...Why was she thinking about love...Jesus. "Nyx is with the Capt...Lou is at her shop. Gellers wolves are at his place...Same would go for Ashes. I may be somewhat of a Ulfric....But there might as well be three packs...." It was true. They all encouraged her...To become Ulfric...Yet all still were all powerful compared to her...So yea girl was gonna have doubts. " Im thinking of buying Bryces ol place near City park uptown. Its huge and the park swamps would give us plenty of room to hunt. It just hit the market last week...And the way Decay and here are going it wouldnt throw me in debt...I just miss having the pack together anymore. I want us all to live like we did in Salem...We wount be a pack if this seperation keeps up." Silent would bite her bottom lip. These were things she wanted to talk to Ash and...Well Geller and her had a long talk coming. Then she knew there was at least three wolves in town she had yet to speak to...One...well she had to deal with now...Or better yet. "Theres also a rogue pup. X infected him. I need you to track him down. Before he fucks up."

"Like... Not love. Not yet." He knew the second those words floundered free from his lips that Silent would at the very least be cautious. Yes, damage was caused because of his love life, but it was firmly rooted in his mind that if he'd given it time to work itself out it could indeed work as a whole. There wasn't any reason why he shouldn't try it again, and if he could have read her mind at that moment he might have lost a small portion of his respect for her. If Silent was anything she wasn't one to simply give up on something because it didn't go the way she wanted it to: Sirus was a prime example of that. "What's his name and his scent? Don't want to track down the wrong guy after all."
Sirus had been pining for an excuse to shift after all the things that had gone so terribly awry in New Orleans, too much drama jam packed into such a diminutive timeframe had worn on everyone's mind and Sirus was not exempt from the fog that descended upon the loosely collected members of Silent's pack, if it was even to that point yet. She was right, too many members living their lives far from a structured family unit was a dangerous gamble for all involved, especially this new shifter who hadn't known well enough to try to find her. "All right, I'll go looking for him today. Shouldn't be too big a problem if his scent's scattered all around 'Nawlins."
"Well...Sirus. Dont get hurt...And dont hurt Dee. I have plans for her." Silent would twist some in her seat and give his jawline a small kiss. Shrugging. "I havent seen him since the day after he was infected...He refused to go see jessie and some whatever Loris boytoy is and a young leopard...Well were too busy pussy footing around to realized the danger of their situation. " Yes the situation fustrated the crap out of her. Which is why she was sending one of the better reps she had after him. " The leopard seems to think that hes enough for him...But well he fucks up..They both could die for one careless action." Silent remembered the threats that came with youuth. She delt with it when she infected Gabe. Then Sirus and of course Nyx. Nyx was a power house from day one. Not that Sirus wasnt...He just...Was less preparded for what was to become of him when Silent and Vaughn disappeared.
