[give me two mins. I apparently am the only one able to get burgers on the BBQ *blank stare*]

Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 9:37:17 PM)
(House full of men and Im the only one that knows how to work the BBQ. Sad... very sad.)
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 9:37:27 PM)
(So yeah, back lol)
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 9:40:06 PM)
(rofl.. tehy need to have thier man cards taken away)
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 9:43:01 PM)
The pack had adjusted better then expected to Bimisi's absence but then, animals didn't cling to memories like those as humans did. The coyotes lounges around the Fishing hut, Waneta comfortably curled up in a hole she'd dug just beneath the stairs leading up and down from the porch. The rest were outside, Tehya and Iye nuzzled together slumbering while Dichali seemed to be on guard just outside the entrance to their dirt burrow. Phinnaeus was nearby, the gangrel up to his chest in the freezing water, a thin pole like stick in hand, fishing.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 9:45:25 PM)
*she'd walk up, in her usual grey smock and her sword on her back, in her hand she had a little wrapped item, walking toward phinn offering him a little smile.* for you my elder.
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 9:48:01 PM)
The crippled kindred turned his head looking over a shoulder as she approached, His body remaining submerged in the cold pond water. "Ah, how are you, Katie?" Phinns attention moving back to his task as he plunged the stick downward into the water to stab at a fish unsuccessfully, cursing a moment beneath his breath.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 9:48:46 PM)
*she walked to teh waters edge* I'm alright.. it was ... an interesting experience working through the holidays with my family.
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 9:54:32 PM)
"Id imagine it would be if you still have contact with them now.." Again his spear plunged into the water though this time he was successful as he pulled the stick up and out of the cold liquid, tearing the fish from the prongs and tossing it to the shore. "Please, toss that to Waneta will you? Shes over there..." Gesturing to the hole beneath the stairs. "She needs the nourishment. The prey has been scarce around here lately."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 9:55:28 PM)
yes i see my father many nights of the week and my sister and mom about once a week. *she takes the fish and takes it to waneta, giving it to her.* do you need help my elder?
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:00:10 PM)
[Sorry, making everyones plate. 2 mins]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:02:22 PM)
(all good)

Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:06:36 PM)
"No, just one more should do it... " And with that the man-made spear dug deep into the chilly waters, plucking out a lazy salmon that had happened past. "Aha!" The elder proclaiming his success. He turned, walking slowly out, each step carefully taken so he would not fall, using the stick to aid him. "This should be plenty." He tore the fish from the prongs and tossed it to the others who now ripped and teared at it, taking their share.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:10:12 PM)
*she'd hold the item up again* sir... *offering it to him.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:12:31 PM)
Phinnaeus made his way toward the stairs, lowering himself onto the top one as if to rest himself. The stick was replaced for his favored walking stick which had been set upon the porch for him to grab hold of once he was done fishing. "Gamel was out here earlier...you probably noticed the fresh tire tracks if you came by the dirt road." Pausing to look up at her once he'd leaned over the side of the stair to look at waneta beneath them and make sure she was fine. "He has asked for our help in exchange for a boon."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:14:01 PM)
*she watches, setting the wrapped item next to him.* *her exprssion changed to one phinn would not be use to on her face, to the one she uses when shes in the corporate board room doing business.* did he?
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:15:46 PM)
The elder looked down to the gift, only now noticing it, clearly his mind was on other things this night. "Yes. I had a feeling he would. He does not have the manpower to deal with the Sabbat, he knows that." His knobby knuckled hands picking up the item. "For me?" Giving Katie a gentle smile.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:16:34 PM)
*she smiled brighly to him* yes my elder.
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:18:00 PM)
"Ah, I had forgotten about Christmas, Katie. I apologize..." Showing some sign of guilt that he had not done the same for her. "This is very thoughtful of you." Slowly he unwrapped it, opening it up to look inside at what she'd gotten for him.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:19:16 PM)
*it would be a semi petite titanium chain weaved with real silver, the titanium for durabily, silver for the look, at the bottom was a small emblem of the full moon in silver and platium.* ((well within her resources to buy))
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:21:42 PM)
Carefully Phinnaeus lifted the chain and its pendant out of the box, his smile broadening. "Its lovely. Thank you, Katie. I shall wear it always." Pausing, he held it out toward her. "Will you put it on for me? My hands are not very good with such things."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:22:56 PM)
*she grinned more, gently taking it, the clasp was made more sturdy then jewelry store.* i had it made custom, by the jeweler my father uses. *placing it around his neck and clasping it off.* *stepping back and smiling*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:25:47 PM)
He thanked his fellow gangrel once more, touching the pendant with a finger as it hung around his neck. "So what do you think of this princes request for help from us?" Looking up at her once again after reaching for his warmer clothes that had been folded over the rail of the stairs, beginning to very slowly put them on.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:27:34 PM)
*she wold think about it as she gently took the clothes to put them on her elder* well.. i hate the sabbat to the ends fo the earth.. i really do.. tehy need to be made extnct... what kind of boon?
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:31:17 PM)
"I left it open ended. Its best to do so with the likes of the Ventrue as they often try to under-sell you. He originally offered nothing. I also had him agree that should their be combat involved it will become a major boon he will owe to clan Gangrel." Phinnaeus let Katie help him dress, thanking her afterward. "I also suggested something else and was pleased to hear he agreed..."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:31:37 PM)
oh?
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:31:52 PM)
[oh come on you can do better then that!]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:31:58 PM)
(ok im' sory)
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:32:13 PM)
[especially with you wanting to ST :P]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:33:13 PM)
* she raised an eyebrow looking to her elder, tilting her head to the side looking to him. when she finished dressing she would bend at the knees to be at his eye level to listen to him* really now? * intrique in her voice. * I always love a good haggle. ( well true enough :P)
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:35:14 PM)
"I asked him to make you Gangrel Ambassador." The elder said plainly, placing a hand on Katies shoulder in a fatherly manner. "Does that make you happy?" He looked into her eyes but it was quickly interrupted by a small squeak coming from beneath the stairs. Phinneaus leaned back over the side and looked down at Waneta in her hole. "Ah... its starting.."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:37:43 PM)
*her eyes lit up, she opened her mouth and was a bout to say something, then blinked and looked down, getting on her hands and knees and grinned* is she giving birth? *she said excitedly.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:41:07 PM)
Phinnaeus nodded in reply. "Yes. She hid her pregnancy well. I only just realized perhaps a week or so ago.." As Katie peered inside she could see Waneta was on her side, the signs of birth quite evident as a tiny part of the first born poked out from its mother. "With it being so late in the season, we will most certainly need to help with these pups. It will get colder before theyre old enough to keep themselves warm.."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:41:57 PM)
*she looked up, excitement drawn all over her face* ooh what can I do? just name it! *she said excitedly to him, looking at phin then waneta, then phinn*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:43:58 PM)
He chuckled. "You could tell me if you wish to be ambassador or not. You completely forgot I mentioned it as soon as you realized Waneta was having pups." Giving Katie a large smile. "I would leave her to it unless she has any distress which may happen. Her last litter only two survived out of the 3, Bimisi and Tehya."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:44:57 PM)
*she blinks and looks up* oh.. I'd love to.. but tell me what happened to *she coughs* keira? *looks at waneta* dont get mad at me for saying but i wanan take one home!!
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:48:11 PM)
Phinnaeus let out a quiet laugh, not wanting to startle Waneta or disturb her. "Here, come sit by me and leave her to it. We dont want her being upset we're so close by." His hand gestured to the others who kept their distance now, pacing and gently playing with each other to pass the time. "And I am happy you will be the voice of our clan for me. Keira is not the right person for this ventrue and I made the Prince realize that. She speaks for the Ventrue, not for the Gangrel."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:49:34 PM)
*she walks over and using her hands to straighten out the smock so she sat on the fabric and not the wood itself, sitting down, looking around a little.* where do we start our search for the scum of the earth?
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:52:22 PM)
"Its a difficult question to answer. I would think their is more then one pack by now, several most likely. The inner city is being watched by the Camarilla since they cannot afford to lose ground there." He stopped to think awhile, listening to the occasional sound of birth coming from beneath the stairs. "My best guess would be the wards that still sit untouched along with the parks, cemeteries and perhaps out here in the swamps though I think this would be the last place I would look. Im almost certain theyre inside the city now. They wouldnt still be out here..."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:53:19 PM)
but my elder. do we know that for sure? wouldnt it be safer to look to make sure, then to assume anything? *looking to him curiously.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 10:55:41 PM)
"I have looked every night and found nothing. Ive had the birds, the pack and other animals do the same out here. There is nothing unless they hide so well all senses cannot pick them up." The sound of a tiny mewing came from the burrow, letting them know there was at least one live pup present now. "You will carry that information to the Prince as I did not tell him my findings. I wanted to leave it to you so that he see's you are commited to your new post."
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 10:57:32 PM)
*she smiled gently to him, kissing his cheek* I will do that my elder. *looking down to the porch and smirking more* puppies! *she says. then she blinks* wow i'm being very girly tonight. *thinks* so the sabbat are in the city now? thats gonna be all out war soon.
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:00:30 PM)
"I would think so. As I said, they are not out here so where else would they be but in the city limits. Now its a matter of finding them there." As the time passed, they heard another, and then another... until they were certain there were three pups if not more. "Take a peek but don't disturb her." Whispering to Katie.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:01:15 PM)
*she nodded, she'd get gently down but away from the enterence to peer in, concentrating to teach herself to advance her senses.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:04:06 PM)
As Katie peered into the dark hole, she could see 5 little bodies squirming around blindly in the dark around their mothers warmth. Two of them were very vocal with their tiny little grunts and mews while the others were relatively silent. The gangrel could see Waneta was pulling out yet another which by the look of it, was much smaller then the others and thus likely the last of the litter.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:06:03 PM)
*she sat cross legged like some big kid and watched, just watched, very into the moment, her mind thinking about what she knew about survival and what she was watching, her hair about her, her hand absently moving it behind her ear.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:08:22 PM)
The tiny little thing fell out with a wet plop sound, but Waneta seemed not to pay attention to it, leaving it in the birth sack which, if left on any longer, would suffocate the tiny baby. It was clearing the runt, half the size of the five others. It squirmed briefly before it stopped and was still, its mother tendinf to the others, licking them clean and nosing them into her so they could suckle.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:09:41 PM)
*she would gently and slowly lean her hand in to gently take the runt, not to disturb the others, she was a grel but she was still partly human and she couldnt just let something so small just ...die.. working her hand and arm gently she'd pull it out into her lap to free it from the sack.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:12:46 PM)
The tiny thing made no motion once she did, limp in her hands as the sack was freed. Phinnaeus watched Katie, saying nothing as he smiled alittle in thought. How strange mother nature was to answer the wants and needs of her children.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:14:13 PM)
*she would use her finger and get whatever was of the sack in its mouth and clean out its nose, she would grabbed it before it stoped moving ,when she realized the mother didnt want it. *she would stroke its fur and breath a bit of air into its nose, only a little not wanting to explode the lungs, working to get it to move, holding it against the warmth of her own body.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:18:47 PM)
"Rub it.. Friction." Nodding toward the pup as he spoke softly. As Katie did, she felt it stir ever so slightly after another tense minute, its head giving a tiny little quiver as it let out the most adorable, gentle mew. "I think your wish has been granted, Katie..." Glancing beneath the steps to look at Waneta who lovingly tended to her five new pups, the sixth forgotten about already. The rest of the pack began to meandor closer, peeking in to look at their tiny new members.
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:20:30 PM)
*she grinned, rubbing its back and head, she'd sit there, petting it, gently talking to it, sliding it under the smock against her skin, even though hers gave nothing to it but the comfort of the act of doing it, she'd let it attach to one of her own nipples, soon she'd go and buy the appropate kind of milk for it.* my elder can you teach me the beginnings of the animalism discipline please.
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:25:12 PM)
The elder nodded in reply as he watched the rest of the pack slowly ease their way into the burrow to find a comfortable place to lay for the rest of the night though Tehya, their new auntie, busied herself with eating the fleshy sacks and anything else left over to rid their home of the smell of blood as best she could. "I will, yes, of course." [You can request it without us having to run a scene for it now]
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:25:41 PM)
[I have to get going to bathe my son and get him ready for bed in a bit so lets wrap it up]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:26:15 PM)
(very well) *well katie would dismiss herself, taking her puppy with her, she'd get whatve she needed to keep and care for it at her bunker haven.*
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:26:40 PM)
[Should be an interesting and busy time for her to raise a pup lol]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:27:59 PM)
(itll be fun! levl 1 disc is 7 exp right)
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:28:27 PM)
[Oh and btw, the pup is female!]
Phinnaeus Phillips (Dec 29, 2010 11:28:40 PM)
[*hugs* Talk at you soon!]
Katie Waterston (Dec 29, 2010 11:28:49 PM)
