 “if you’re going about it that way, then it’s not about the length of time you have in the object it’s about the thought. i’m not mated but i’m assuming flower crowns probably have a deeper meaning, like the type of flowers they use for it or whatever they use to hold them together.” she retorted with a light shrug, giving him a side eye over. he gave her the vibes of someone who was either having a bad time or just wanted to argue, like the old folks in movies. 

   “but in all honesty i have no clue, nothing i say is one hundred percent the truth and on top of that if you’re so curious and have so many opinions why not just join the party council or whoever comes up with this whole thing. then you can decide. although, regardless of what any of us say the only people who will be pleased at the end of the day are the ones getting mated right?”

-

“But in that same regard, wouldn’t you want something that symbolizes your long-lasting love to have a lengthier lifespan than that of something that wilts and eventually dies?” they countered, only to lift their shoulder in a shrug. Truthfully, they weren’t that curious, merely commenting on the very outdated tradition and how they, indeed, needed to change to keep updated with the ever-growing world. Much like their own parents, but that was a different discussion entirely.

Still as she finished speaking, they simply offered a small smile as they shifted their gaze towards her. “Perhaps, but I’m not even sure how long I’m going to be staying in Crystal Grove... my firm is already overworking my pager with their requests for me to help them.” Besides, they had gotten used to the hustle and bustle that came with urban living - Crystal Grove was far too quiet now for their own liking. “You have a point, however, that the only ones that should care are the ones that receive one, though that begs the question... Would you care if someone were to give you a flower crown despite it being temporary?”

There was a sense of familiarity in the other wolf– perhaps Severin saw a bit of himself in them, he wasn’t quite sure. Still it tugged the corners of his moth into a smile as he listened. The conversation was certainly a welcome distraction from the group ahead of them gushing happily about their crowns and just reeking the place up with pheromones. He could practically hear his mother chiding him for not being one of them.

“I’m probably the last one to be having this conversation with,” he admits with a chuckle and a shake of his head. He’d been given many things in his life and yet not a single one has made him dig in his heels and call a place home. “Nothing lasts forever; not jewels nor metals…least of all love. Everything has to end.” A small shrug leaves him before he turns to the other with an eyebrow raised in curiosity. “And what would you suggest? A tattoo perhaps?”

-

Some people would think it weird to have some sort of debate with another out in the middle of a festival like this, but truthfully, this was something that had the lawyer excited - if only because it meant that they could gauge the caliber of the residents of their hometown. And so far, they were impressed that there seemed to be more people there capable of unique thought instead of following societal expectations or outdated traditions. That was why, as the other admitted that he probably was the last person to have this conversation with, Gi could only shake their head.

“On the contrary, you’re probably one of the best people to have this conversation with as you’re actually giving me hope that this town isn’t as backwards as it used to be.” Sure, it probably was still backwards, but with wolves like this one that was able to hold a sensible conversation without reverting to name-calling or the like? It was certainly more than what they expected of Crystal Grove, that’s for sure. “But no, I was thinking more so a ring, much like they do in wedding ceremonies. If they want to make us believe that their love for someone is long-lasting, shouldn’t they give something that lasts far longer than something that will wilt and eventually die?”

With a soft sigh, the omega shifted their position and moved to offer a palm to the other wolf. “I’m Gi, and for the first time since coming back here, I can honestly say it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

The young girl was undeniably cute, and Severin was unable to hold back a smile as her big eyes seemed to almost follow the blue treat. It was always children wasn’t it? They were never fooled by appearances. Soon enough the girl’s father seemed to appear and apologize, though Severin didn’t see why he thought he had to. Parenting– never picked it up.

“Just got your cast off?” Kids in casts; just one more thing Severin was familiar with. “Well that I suppose is cause for a treat there, and of course because the lady said please.” There it was, that sappy warmness that children just drew out of him. At least he could tone it down a little by knowing it was a stranger’s kid and the two just smelled so damn happy it was almost contagious.

An over exaggerated sigh left him, he had to at least pretend to be inconvenienced right? “I suppose between the two of you I’m left with little choice.” He motioned back towards the way he’d been wandering, indicating his direction, before leading the way. It was a short trip and before long he found himself kneeling and asking the young pup’s preferred flavor.

Severin offered the popsicle to the young girl after an exchange with the vendor. “Here, my gift to the princess free of plaster.”

Living in Crystal Grove, the alpha wasn’t usually concerned when his girl ran off as he knew that most of the wolves in the city knew him and his daughter, but seeing her run to this wolf was different. But only because the man was someone he didn’t recognize, and it had him wondering if this man was a tourist or someone else that decided to move there - they seemed to have been getting a lot of those recently. Still, the way that the other male, an Omega by the smell of it, reacted to his daughter had him smiling and had any concern that had crossed his mind dissipating almost instantly.

The trio headed to the stand that was selling popsicles and as the blond offered the ice cream to his daughter, Maya gave a squeal with a thank you before she moved to hug the man. “Thank you so much, Mister...” she spoke before she began to happily mouth the frozen treat, and with a chuckle the alpha brought his attention back to the man. “Thank you so much... My husband will probably kill me for letting her eat so much junk, but you’re at least making her day.”

And that meant that when he moved to work at the stable’s stand, she’d be happy that she was able to fully experience the festival’s festivities.

“The name’s Malachi, though,” the alpha said, offering a large palm in the other’s direction as a smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “It’s nice to meet you. So, are you new here? I’m sure I’d have recognized a face as handsome as yours here before.”

she bit her cheek to hide any sign of laughter as the little girl shouted, offering a smirk to her if only to tease her further. “cheated? shortcake the only people who cheat you at the festivals are the vendors.” responding easily, of course she knew maya had her cast off recently. hard not to notice the bosses kids. if she were to admit it she saw them a lot like younger siblings, never having any of her own it was nice having ‘regular’ ones around.

  “of course i would maya. i need my friday nights off of course.” myra nodded along with malachis words, resting her new found ‘child’ on her hip, the panda fit like it was one. sitting down once more she nodded between the two. “if i had known you guys were part of the line up i would have just let you win the big guy.”

-

If there was one person that Malachi would allow to call his eldest daughter shortcake, it was Myra - the wolf was a hardworking one that he trusted around his horses and his children, and he knew that there wasn’t any venom behind the words that she spoke. Instead he just chuckled as Myra went along with his words, Maya sighing slightly and giving a nod. “Okay, but you have to promise that you’ll call me and not some other wolf to watch him,” the pup spoke, moving to cross her arms over her chest as she twisted her mouth to the side.

“No, there’s no need. Maya needs to learn that it isn’t always about winning... but about having fun.” Leaning down, Malachi whispered in his pup’s ear, telling her that she could go grab a hot dog, and with a squeal she ran off to the nearest vendor. Were they in a big city, he’d probably be worried about sending the eight year old off on her own, but this was Crystal Grove and he trusted most of the wolves there.

Still, as he stood upright, he shifted his attention to Myra with a soft smile. “But it’s good to see you’re enjoying your day off... I'll be heading to the booth to relieve Jackson once Maya gets her fill of the festival, myself.”

     malee had always loved the spring festival. usually coming every year with her family. the one time where they all let themselves have fun and run around excitedly like children. malee stopped, staring at the flower crowns longingly. she didn’t have anyone she could offer one too. at least not yet and she was okay with that, in a way. malee raised a brow, smiling at lisia. “it definitely suits you. those colors look amazing on you.”

There was really only one person that could’ve rained on Lisia’s parade in that moment, but she was sure that even that wouldn’t stop her from feeling excited and enamored by the spring festivities. And she was thankful that most of the other wolves there were nice enough to at least humor her - after all, she was feeling something like a princess. “Thank you... I worked hard picking out the right flowers,” Lisia said as she reached up to adjust the crown before she nodded in Malee’s direction. “Has anyone given you one yet? Because if not... I can make you one that’ll make any wolf jealous that you might be accounted for.”

       the chef lets out another laugh at the remark, watching the beta begin digging into the meal she prepared and takes a bite at the piece on her fork. “that’s what i thought,” willow remarks, finishing off her piece rather quickly and savoring the flavor that tickled her senses. truly, she enjoys bo’s company so much both in and out of the bedroom, and wouldn’t trade them for the world. “and i’m glad you like it because i was truthfully a bit anxious that it wouldn’t turn out well.”

-

The beta didn’t respond again, instead moving to grab another forkful of food and bringing it to their lips with a low moan. God, they loved food. Sure, most of the time they loved it because they were high, but it always amazed them how the different flavors of food could come together to create something so different and unique. And while they loved food, they absolutely loved good food. And Willow definitely knew how to cook. “Hey, why wouldn’t I like it? I like you, I like food, so it only stands to reason I’d like food you’d cook,” they explained after they managed to swallow their second mouthful. “You’re a phenomenal chef, Willow... Honestly. If I could do half the shit you could, I’d definitely be working with food... you’re so talented.”

       the owner listens to what bo says, agreeing with every single word that they’re saying and decides that the other wolf could become a really good friend of his in the long run. at least he hopes that they will because they seem pretty chill and open minded on a lot of topics that are popular these days. “that’s very true as well - great sex is a good way to burn some calories,” isaiah says with a chuckle on his lips as he takes a glance around the gym once more before looking back at bo. “your name is as unique as you are and tells a lot about who you are as a person. if you don’t mind, i’d love to be your friend - i don’t have many here in crystal grove.”

-

Hearing the other agree that great sex is a good way to burn calories had the beta smiling, a goofy grin spreading across their lips before they nodded when the other male asked if they could be friends. “Fuck yeah, man... Can’t have too many friends.” And, frankly, they were probably the friendliest wolf out there because they didn’t have any enemies - they were just chill. “But nah, really, I think my name tells you more about my moms than they do me... it just fits that I turned out to be the perfect flower child.”

stiigmas​:

       another laugh leaves the omega’s lips at bo’s words and remarks, smiling coyly towards them, “careful now with your selflessness - you’re going to make me swoon over you even more,” and she brushes some of her hair away from her face and bites the corner of her lip. at this point she doesn’t care if anyone else sees the way bo is making her feel right now because she is so focused on the other wolf in front of her. “unless that was your plan all along - sweep me off my feet like superman does for lois lane on a daily basis.”

-

Spending time with Olivia was always something that the beta found themselves looking forward to, and they couldn’t help but smile lightly at her words. Obviously the two were teasing, and it was yet another reason why Bo couldn’t help but enjoy being around Olivia because it was fun and easy. Then again, almost everything that Bo did was fun and easy. “Damn. You caught me. Now that the gig is up, I suppose there’s nothing left for me to do here...”

       the pack alpha barely heard lisia approach but her voice coming from nowhere seems to have startled him and adjusted the glasses he wore. daniel replies with a small smile as he turns towards her and away from the band in front of him, “ah, y.. yes i am. th.. thanks for asking,” and he pauses to take a quick glance to see if those newly presented omegas were there and much to his relief - they were gone, scattered like the wind the moment lisia took the spot down next to him. “and i have to thank you for taking a seat when you did, those newly presented omegas were following me everywhere. remind me to buy you something as a token of my thanks and appreciation.”

-

A small chuckle left the Omega’s words as the alpha thanked her for taking the seat and effectively scaring away his budding fan club - she had heard their collective groan as she sat down, but she knew that they didn’t just disappear. And if she had to garner a guess, they were probably sitting in the crowd and watching, waiting for the opportunity when the pack alpha would be alone. “You don’t need to buy me anything... just side with me at the next meeting,” she teased lightly, smile pulling at the corners of her lips. “But, you know, this place is probably one of the best places to get rid of your adoring fans. All it takes is for you to gift someone with a flower crown and they’ll know you have your sights set elsewhere.” At that, she lifted a dark brow. “Or have you already given Vesper a flower crown?”

Anastasia feels the leash slip through her grasp. “Oh dear. Zeus!” She calls after her Rottweiler, lightly running after him as he makes his way across the park. So it wasn’t a great day to wear heels, but when did she ever wear sneakers unless absolutely necessary? When she finally catches up to Zeus, she finds him sniffing about somebody’s shoes. “Ah, my apologies. He was sitting obediently one second, and extremely excited the next.”

Coming to the park wasn’t exactly the first thing that the omega wanted to do, but with two big dogs that liked to be active? They knew it was for the best to take them out and let them run around - especially considering that they lived in an apartment which, while expansive, didn’t have much of a yard. As they sat at a bench, crossing their legs at the ankle, they were almost immediately greeted by an excited Rottie and they had to chuckle as the owner jogged up after him. “No need to apologize... Lucky you, I happen to have a Rott of my own,” Gi spoke, pointing in the direction of where his Rottweiler, Claudia, is running side-by-side his Retriever. “Better me than someone misinformed about the breed, at least.”

If there was one thing that Lisia made sure to make time out of her day for, it was working out and, thankfully, she had a great way of working out - boxing. Most Omegas wouldn’t have picked it up, but with three older brothers that weren’t Omegas that wanted their little sister to know how to protect herself, it was one thing that she picked up (among other things) and it’s something she picked up quickly. Though not as strong as the people she would have to, more than likely, protect herself from, she was leaner and much more agile - and one thing her brothers taught her that when it came down to a fight? It wasn’t always the stronger one that won, it was the smarter one - and that is what Lisia saw herself as.

Thankfully the gym in Crystal Grove had a sand bag - though only a couple, and they were usually always occupied by Alphas - and Lisia let her knuckles wrap against the leather material with every strike. It was rhythmic, therapeutic, and she found herself getting lost in her movements, until she caught the scent of another wolf. How long had she been here? She wasn’t sure, but she paused in her movements and turned to look over her shoulder, sweat covering her body and causing her bronze skin to glisten under the lighting. “Can I help you, or were you just waiting for the sandbag?” she asked, all too aware that sometimes there was a line for the punching bags.

If there was one thing that Lisia loved more than women, it was powerful women - and Anastasia Lee definitely fit the bill. So when she saw the woman at one of the bars in town, she was quick to sidle up next to her. “You know, I can always appreciate a woman that makes a name for herself,” she spoke, offering a small smile. “And if you’d let me, I’d love to show you my appreciation.”

With the owner of the silver dollar diner having been in the city for a few years but not being an actual member of the pack was something that didn’t sit right with Lisia - if only because she knew having a successful businesswoman in the pack would only be beneficial to the pack. That’s how she found herself walking to the diner, and as she entered and was greeted by an employee, she offered a soft smile. “Is your boss in today? I would like to speak with her.”

Roux could feel it - their rut was coming soon. And while they had already experienced a rut since their best friend had moved to town, it was their first rut since their best friend had moved into the small studio apartment that they shared with Badger - and that had Roux anxious. That was why they found themselves heading to the Fisherman’s Barrel, wanting to get a drink as they tried to think about how they were going to get through this rut. Should they just run to the woods like they had before, or try to sweat it out with Alice in the very small building?

“Can I get a drink?” the alpha asked the bartender as they sat at the barstool. “Just... anything you’d recommend.”

Leaning against the brick of the storefront wall, Rafael took a long drag from his cigarette as his dog sat obediently on his left-hand side. Smoking was a nasty habit, but it was one that he found himself relying on to help ease his anxiety - large crowds bothered him, and while he was thankful that he mostly worked in the back of the cafe, it still got overwhelming for the veteran. As he stood there, though, his dog stood up and nudged his left hand, signaling that someone was approaching and he shifted his attention to the wolf that was walking towards him. “Need a light?”

“dr. pavel,” damian introduces himself to his new patient by shaking his hand, then gestures toward the sofa. “you can sit or lie down, whichever you feel more comfortable with,” he explains, as he sits down on his arm chair.  his schedule has become very hectic lately, but that’s a conscious decision the therapist made. after his divorce was finally settled, damien turned to his practice for a distraction, working overtime to avoid contemplating his own issues. “first things first, i’d like to get to know you better, in particularly the problems you’ve been facing, and what you’d like to work on.” 

Learning that your therapist was retiring was tough, especially when the therapist you had was great and instrumental to you getting back on your feet, and while the wolf had agreed to see him until he found the right fit, Rafael didn’t want to impose and put the other out. That was how he found himself at the other’s office, having been referred to this therapist by his own, and after shaking the man’s hand, he gave a nod. “Rafael.” It took him awhile to re-learn how to introduce himself by his first name, as opposed to his rank and last name, but thankfully he’d already gotten that down pat. Moving to sit on the sofa, the omega gave a soft sigh. “Honestly, I’m a work in progress.” Champ, his hearing dog, sat obediently at his feet and he moved to give the dog a scratch behind his ear - the dog was great at easing his anxiety, too. “Not sure where to start.”
