[atrb=background,http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac192/fireb4ashes/JesseBranch-MIDDLE.jpg] "Don't do anything stupid. I've got stuff to do," Was what Jesse had been told by his stupid babysitter, Crouse. Jesse had been living with the members of the Revolt for about six months now, and it seemed that Crouse was his main babysitter. But Jesse didn't like that term, because he wasn't a baby of any kind. In fact, he was nearly full grown, though he still had a boyish look to his features. He would not be as large as his father, no, because his mother had too much of an influence on him. He was of a decent size, though; he was no scrawny fella, but he wasn't buff, either. Jesse's response to the creamy white wolf had been sarcastic. "Shouldn't you be telling yourself that?" And then he'd braced himself, his body taking on a defensive position. He knew Crouse had a wild temper on him, and that when his temper got out of hand, Jesse would be the one to take the blows. He already had a few scars on his body, though they were hidden by this thick ebony coat. He'd been lucky to not have any on his face, where they would easily be seen. Crouse had indeed turned on him, baring his teeth and swinging out a forepaw to hit him on the side of the face. Jesse was agile, and managed to dodge the blow while backing up. Oh, how he longed to leap upon that stupid bastard and rip him to pieces! Crouse was bigger than he was, though, and he had more experience. Jesse would get his ass handed to him if he tried, and that was the only reason he hadn't. He'd come close, but he'd never had enough guts to go through with it. Surprisingly, Crouse didn't come after him, which had been what Jesse was expecting. Something had been funny about the Beta of the Revolt lately, something Jesse couldn't quite figure out. He'd been taunting him about it, too, but he hadn't gotten it out of him yet. He'd continue until he figured out what it was, though. It was just in Jesse's nature to piss Crouse off, and in whatever way he could. Hey, when you've been kidnapped, you make do with what you've got. "Shut up, you dumbass. You're lucky I haven't killed you yet." Jesse wasn't afraid of Crouse's death threats anymore. Crouse had threatened and threatened, but Jesse had the feeling that Seshafi wouldn't let Crouse kill him. Despite this, Jesse still feared Crouse's threats toward his sister. "Or your bitchy sister." And, unfortunately, Crouse knew what got to Jesse. "Like I said, don't do stupid shit, and I'll be back. Later." And with that, Crouse pushed his powerful hindquarters so he could leap up the slope, into the snow-covered treecover. And so Jesse was left on the wide path, relatively alone. Again. Under normal circumstances, Crouse would have left after he'd pushed Jesse's face into the ground, possibly making him eat whatever substance was there (in this case, snow), and he'd have stratched and bit at any purchase he had. But as stated before, Crouse wasn't quite his usual self, and Jesse was benefiting greatly from that. On that high note, Jesse's mouth erupted into a highly satisfied smirk as he trotted down the path, his body bouncing lightly with each step, his paws crunching as they hit the thick layer of snow. Ahh, today was a good day. He'd already pissed Crouse off, gotten off easy, and there were God knows how many hours to wander about the territory. Jesse had come to be familiar with this section of the Rogue Lands, so he relatively knew where he was. Trotting along the path with confidence, he started picking through the scents, searching for any small prey he could go after. ooc:// Surprisingly, I had enough down time to get this in, which was not what I expected. Yay! :D This is for Stardust, Serena's character!

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/6718gl.png] There was something odd about this beautiful place. No, not because of the strange smell of large ‘cows’ roaming. But these sort of cows was large, they were huge and muscular. They were walking meat stores just waiting to be butchered. The weakest of the herd was going to die sooner or later. Even in the animal kingdom outside of the K-9’s the strong survive. What one individual viewed strength that it wasn’t just in leadership or a hardcore personality. Nor was strength just found pure brute force. Power could be found in other traits such as forgiveness and joy. No one could resist a fairy that fluttered weightless through the Dusty Moon Trails. The sprite that roamed the golden touched trails radiated cheerfulness from her rosy touched eyes. Her lips released laughter and her slender body brought love. Two warlocks stirred amongst the broad stretched trees. These two souls attracted the pixie and in retort she took a dance towards the scents. Paws treaded lightly against the light blanket of frozen ice, her weight barely pressed down the snow from its resting place. For as tall as the vixen is she sure is a buoyant creature. Streaked pink banner flickered over her curvy hindquarters as she balanced herself perfectly. Like she was playing a game with herself to not leave tracks in the snow. Brightly colored tipped ears flickered forward in gullible interest now sensing there was only one warlock roaming the lands. And there he was. Stardust fixed herself on the young brute that seemed to step quickly on a hunt. His body bounced as he too, treaded weightlessly through the trails. She picked up her right front paw and tucked let it sway lazy to the side, the iridescent glitter that birthed on her fur gleamed under the sunlight light a million stars on her frosted coat. His fur came in contact with the midnight sky and his legs seemed to have walked on the moon. Taking the bleach with him as he returned back to earth to roam these lands. As his head swayed in search of prey Stardust caught his eyes. Beautiful, she thought to herself. He was touched by a violet flower and the green leaves bleed amongst his optical. Mm. Taking in everything she wanted to of his form and chuckled under her breath. Her head dipped to the side, her cheek against her curvy shoulders. Her right eye watching him seductively. Her banner flicked over her long hindquarters and swayed with the winds. Allowing the breeze that loomed from the trees to play with the moon washed and pink tassels of her threads. “Hiya, you handsome fellow. You care to catch a little something for me, by any chance?” A smile played across her soft lips as the music in her tones played like a harmony.

[atrb=background,http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac192/fireb4ashes/JesseBranch-MIDDLE.jpg] Jesse hadn't been on his vague journey for food for long when he encountered another. He hadn't been paying too much attention to the long road ahead, but rather the sides of the path, where critters had decent cover to shield themselves. Every now and then, Jesse's nose would dip down to touch briefly at something before he continued on his way. He was enjoying the way the world smelled while snow layered over it, because he was uncertain how long it would last. Why exactly his eyes flashed up, he was uncertain. There was no trigger, for the fairy-like creature ahead had been silent in her playful steps. Perhaps the neon markings that stained her fur had caught his eye; but whatever the reason, Jesse was transfixed. He'd never seen such a creature. It wasn't that he was isolated from the world of females; he'd met Azalea, though he hadn't felt an attraction toward her. He'd met Mirage, though she was an older, and rather grumpy individual. And Netyri and Nuri couldn't be counted in, because they were related. This vixen....Was in another category entirely. Her white fur looked as soft as the snow she had tread upon, and Jesse had a wild desire to touch it. She had strange, exotic markings on her fur; the entirity of her ears and tail were stained in such a striking color, one that Jesse had not seen before. Pink was not something you typically saw when out in the wilderness, and the foriegn nature of the color was reeling Jesse in as the seconds ticked by. Her long legs looked as if they had been splattered lightly with the same color; as if a paint bucket had fallen from a great height, and she'd been standing enough out of the way to not be drenched, though not enough to dodge it completely. And her eyes! Not that Jesse wasn't used to strangely colored eyes. After all, look at his own; look at his sisters. But the color matched the colors that marked her flanks, legs, ears, and banner, adding to the effect. So you can kind of guess that Jesse was more than a bit overwhelmed. In a good way, of course. In Jesse's opinion, her voice was just the icing on top of the sweet, delicious cake. It sounded like the most beautiful melody to a man who had been deaf for years; simply heavenly. After he got over the sweet tone of the sound, his brain caught up with his ears, and he processed what she had said. 'Hiya, you handsome fellow. You care to catch a little something for me, by any chance?' If Jesse could have blushed, he would have. As it was, his ears burned in a proud manner as she complimented him, and he came to enough to realize that he had stopped in his tracks. Whoops. Boys these days. He started forward, gathering himself up. He wanted to impress this gorgeous lady, and he intended on doing so. "Uh, hi!" Impressive. Jesse just had a way with words. "Sure I would? I, um, I'm Jesse. What's your name?" So he wasn't quite the charmer when it came to articulation; but he could not be blamed for this. After all, this was the first girl he had met that struck an interest in him. Many other wolf--wolves with normal lives--would have long met other females by now, ones that struck an interest, even if those interests did not make it as far as a crush. Give the boy time, and he'll come through. He's got too much of his father in him to be otherwise. ooc:// You did an amazing job with Stardust; I got the perfect picture of her demeanor in my head. Jesse's just floundering about like any other boy new to this, which I find amusing. xD

[atrb=background,http://i55.tinypic.com/6718gl.png] The midnight coated prince looked overwhelmed after Stardust caught his attention. The wildness in his two tones eyes made her giggle under her light breath. Her brows rose as she tilted her nose closer to her curved chest allowing her eyes to grow elegantly wide. Innocence. Her glamorous ears pressed forward as far as they would go. Listening to his seemingly shallow breath as he began to catch up quickly on the events that laid out before him. A smile, a sweet smile curved at the edges of her soft lips as he began to move his bleached stilts towards her. Uh, hi! Sure I would? I, um, I'm Jesse. What's your name?” She took her time to allow her sweet songs from her vocal cords. Again, she music as weightless as she moved her own slender body. “Mm. And I am Stardust. It is so so nice to meet you, Jesse.” Her paw that laid lazily to the side moved in front of her to move her body towards the young brute. Her banner wagged happily behind her. The movement in her tail made her rump sway following after it. A playful puppy looking for a new game. Stardust moved around Jesse at a comfortable distance. Under her thick, moon birthed coat her soft skin reflected the curve of her features. She headed to a tree that laid not a couple feet from Jesse. She walked to the opposite side- hiding her body behind the nature’s shade. Tiara curved around it peeking around it. A playful feature was clear on her face. Her ears now constantly flickered to and fro. “Where’s your girlfriend?” She deliberately looked around him in the thin trees looking for an imaginary friend. Another smile amused her lips again before she looked back at Jesse and tilted her head, at the same time walking from behind the tree to walk straight toward him again. “Someone as fine as you must have a girlfriend.” Ah, she was looking to play. It doesn’t matter what kind of a game. Just as long as she was amusing herself. And if the young warlock allowed her to she could get down and sexy with him. Stardust was here to love every man that wanted it. Either by the soft touch of love or to make their hearts be filled with innocent joy. OOC: THANKS! I hope I can keep it up. Lol.

[atrb=background,http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac192/fireb4ashes/JesseBranch-MIDDLE.jpg] Jesse watched with fascination as she kept her head close to the delicate curve of her narrow chest, her eyes fixed on him. There was a beautiful quality to the way her eyes were widened; it reminded Jesse of a doe's sweet, wide eyes. They were eyes that were filled with nothing more than innocence. It added just another layer to the delicate quality this doll carried. 'Mm. And I am Stardust. It is so so nice to meet you, Jesse.' Jesse could hardly wrap his mind around these turn of events. First he met a really really pretty lady, and he had barely to strive in order to gain her full attention. The boy was inexperienced, but boy, he sure was in luck. "Stardust. I like that name. It's really pretty." And it was. It fit such an elegant woman, one who was moving forward, towards him. Jesse watched her slowly walk around him, watching mainly the rise and fall of her hips as she swayed. Her dainty paws carried her to a tree in which she concealed herself for a moment before revealing that beautiful face once more. In the way that she hugged the tree, and only enough of her face was revealed so that she could see him, she looked incredibly playful. It was as if they were playing peek-a-boo. Jesse advanced a considerable amount, eager to know this sweet thing. 'Where’s your girlfriend?' Girlfriend? He was thrown by this question, and a puzzled expression crossed his features as he watched her swing her muzzle about, as if searching for a female. Jesse hadn't really been around other girls in a while; the only scent that would be on him was Crouse's, and that was because Crouse was a jerk and like to hit him. "What do you mean?" 'Someone as fine as you must have a girlfriend.' Suddenly he understood; one could practically hear the clicks going on in his mind. "Oh, nope! No girlfriend to speak of!" He said cheerfully, stepping toward her just as she was stepping toward him. His tail lifted and started to wag behind him, in a delightful manner to indicate his high spirits. "And what about you, pretty lady? I can't imagine you being alone." Really, it baffled Jesse as to why she was paying mind to him. But he was going to enjoy every minute of this playful time with this playful girl. He didn't get many opportunities to play, so when he came across them, he appreciated it.

[atrb=background,http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk107/puddinxpiexB/500sparklemiddle.png] [size=1 Ooc: I am typing this on the IPad. Hinting the no table and autocorrections to some words, when I get back my laptop I'll modify this post and put a table in. Sorry. Stardust. I like that name. It's really pretty. "Aww, thank you hun. Aren't you the sweetie." The vixen was amused as always. Her spirit was similar to a beautiful snow globe. When you shake her up, she is like the flakes that rises from their resting place to tickle the design in the water. You keep shaking her up she will not stop what she is doing, always covering the edges of the statue. The glitter covering it like a beautiful blanket to catch any wonder eye. Stardust struck confusion on his innocent features. But was quickly replaced with cheerfulness. A smile continued to play on her lips. Her sparkling rosy eyes reflecting the magic of happiness that whirled calmly in her soul. She wasn't much for playing mind games that led to destruction or hurt. However, she was willing to play with the mind who was engulfed in chaos to forget it's hurtful ways. But the prince that stood in front of the princess not was not a mind of darkness. If anything, he was similar to her character. Oh, nope! No girlfriend to speak of! The light in his eyes made her warm up. A giggle lightly flowed out of her vocal cords. "Great! I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with anyone. You know... talking to me. Some girls don't really like me." she shrugged her shoulders. And what about you, pretty lady? I can't imagine you being alone "Ehh... I usually like to keep myself open to friends. Most boyfriends just want to tie you down. I am not that kind of a girl." A bright grin pulled at the edge of her lips. She head tilting ever so slightly watching his puppy tail wagging carelessly behind him. Stardust couldn't help herself from doing the same. The weight that was resting on her hindquarters pressed her back paws into the ground as her hips moved side to side. Before she knew it, she body moved toward him at a leap. Her head brushed up against his midnight crown and she shoulders brushed up against him lightly at the sudden playful act. Her banner flickered above his withers as she leaped past him. Quickly, she whirled around behind Jesse and lowered her front body to the ground, her rump in the air. Her two toned banner waving to the sapphire heavens. She pink tongue hanging out of her mouth with excitement of the new game. "Wanna have some fun?" She al laughed and kept her body tense expecting him to hope on her at the invitation. Her claws dug into the snow and she bright eyes watching his frame and his own two toned eyes.

[atrb=background,http://i899.photobucket.com/albums/ac192/fireb4ashes/JesseBranch-MIDDLE.jpg] Jesse found himself wishing that every female had the delicacy that Stardust possessed. He was still trying to wrap his mind around her behavior, because it was simply so strange to him. Strange, yes, but even more so pleasing. A giggle sounded from her throat, reminding the youngster of a bubbling spring. So light, so playful. In this mood, it seemed as if he'd never stop smiling. 'Great! I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with anyone. You know... talking to me. Some girls don't really like me.' This came to a great surprise as Jesse; remember, he didn't have much experience with girls in general, much less girls grouped together. He had no idea how ferocious they could be on one another. That's what you get when you've been isolated. "How could anyone not like you?" He said, cocking his head to one side. "I don't know how anybody couldn't. You're too sweet." He was surprised he had said that, and that showed; he looked slightly taken aback. But hey, it didn't matter, because Jesse was used to meeting and going. Unfortunately, Stardust would continue on with her journey, wherever she was going. Therefore, Jesse really couldn't say anything wrong. 'Ehh... I usually like to keep myself open to friends. Most boyfriends just want to tie you down. I am not that kind of a girl.' Jesse definitely intended on becoming a friend, even if it would last only a day. That much was certain in his life. He probably had hours until Crouse decided to come back around, so Stardust would never be in any danger. He couldn't think, though, that Crouse would ever harm someone as pretty as her. That thought reassured him. However she had come to be alone, Jesse was kind of glad. He wasn't sure how well he'd fare if she'd had others tagging along; especially another male. Though he had little experience, he wouldn't fare well when it came to jealousy. The boy threw that thought out of the window, because it didn't matter. She was here, alone, and she wanted to play. Her whispy banner swayed behind her, swaying her hips along with it. The movement was so enticing, and an excitement coursed through Jesse. In a quick, graceful movement, Stardust leapt toward him, landing just before him. It startled Jesse, especially when her head touched his, nuzzled, and then continued on, moving behind him and whirling around. Jesse turned just as quick, his fur tingling from the touch, and he saw her chest lowered to the ground while her rump was still in the air, that wispy tail waving wildly. Her pink tongue was carelessly out of her mouth, and her eyes were bright with the anticipation of play. 'Wanna have some fun?' It was instinctive, really, how Jesse's body fell into a playful position. It took no time at all, really, for his body to remember the natural positions. It was time to make up for all that lost time. Answering her question wordlessly, Jesse bounded up to the pretty fairy and nipped lightly at her hindquarters before jumping away, as quickly as he could. He ran a wide circle around her, simply enjoying the quick, tight turns that his body allowed him to do. He was a runner at heart, and he was showing it. One he ran at least a half circle around her, he stopped in his tracks, stirring some of the snow that lay there, and he assumed the same position as she had earlier. Oh, yes, this boy wanted to have some fun. ooc:// Heheh, I enjoy making my characters act childish. (:
