    Stoatorian Guard Open The Trenches The Prodigal Son Returns

    Although Alwyn had expected and prepared for a counterattack, the swiftness, the kind that could only be done through endless training and experience, surprised him momentarily, before his own instincts took over from the thousands of hours of dedicated drilling he himself had poured into...

    Open Into the Foxes' Den

    Alwyn knew a challenge from another male when he saw one-indeed, from recruits who thought they were the Kitsune’s gift to the Imperium to his own early experiences in “incognito” protection of beasts in the Imperium’s prisons. Unlike Daniil, who was...less traditionally masculine…Alwyn was...

    Alwyn swiftly and surely, with the expertise of years of training in Amarone, used the back end of his polearm to knock the marten’s sword arm upwards, letting the marten’s blow swing over him instead and leaving him off balance for a moment. If Alwyn had his full plate armor on, he could have...

    Open Into the Foxes' Den

    Alwyn was in quite a gay mood as he made his way into the Slups, wearing his weathered plate curaiss, brigandine, and morion to fit in as one’s experienced fox mercenary, and carrying a smaller poleaxe along with the broadsword at his belt. He had thought he would have to slave away for the rest...

    (Collab post with @Caden S. Freemont) The marten nodded. "I'm fine without safety equipment for this bout. No head shots, be honest about if I'm hit, stay in the ring--got it." He eyed Alwyn's positioning and adjusted his own. "I'll stick with sword and board for the armed rounds. It's been my...

    After Daniil took his weapons, Alwyn went and found one of the poleaxes closest to his usual one in length, there were many different lengths used for different situations, but he preferred the conventional one since it worked best in most situations. Getting a feel for the hardened black oak...

    Alwyn listened patiently to everything that Caden said, taking the time to take it in and think before he said anything. It was a skill he was still developing, honestly, but one of the few things his mother had told him that had stuck was that silence was power. Clearly, the beast was quite...

    Alwyn listened to the older marten patiently, nodding as he further explained things, internally raising an eyebrow at the fact that Caden preferred jacks, but, honestly, he did not care all that much. As long as this Freemont was even a tenth as capable as the stories he had been told about his...

    Alwyn was a bit worried at first, as the pine marten scowled, but as his words seemed to reach Caden’s ears, he saw what he wanted to see. Remorse, a recognition that what he did was wrong with no justification, and anger towards the one who had manipulated him. His stance and voice softened. He...

    Stoatorian Guard Open The Trenches The Prodigal Son Returns

    Alwyn inclined his head slightly downwards and scratched his headfur, somewhat in embarrassment, somewhat in thought. He offered a small sigh before talking to the real Caden, voice remorseful, albeit lower as he approached the pine marten. “I apologize, truly, but you never know who could be...

    Stoatorian Guard Open The Trenches The Prodigal Son Returns

    Alwyn watched the pine marten’s expression like a hawk as he sung the ancient lullaby, watching as it unsettled him and brought him off guard, and not in a simply confused way, but in a way that struck at his very soul. It was unmistakably the Caden Freemont, son of Nuori Sken and Gordon...

    As Alwyn watched his cousin and the black-furred ferret walk down the hallway, he glanced down the opposite end of the hall, and briefly opened the washroom door to peak inside to make sure no other beasts were around before the marten spoke to him. He listened carefully to the albino before...

    “We have all of the common, and, indeed, even uncommon variety of weapons, both in wooden form, and in blunted form, at the training grounds. Since you are all just undergoing an evaluation, we will test you out with the wooden ones to begin with.” Alwyn responded professionally to the...

    Gods damn you, Camilla, why could you just not stay and help Daniil fill out the ******* paperwork? Releasing his grip on Eirene, but still keeping one paw on Caden’s shoulder in a “friendly” manner and hardening it even more as the marten tried to break away, he walked around to get a look at...

    Stoatorian Guard Open The Trenches The Prodigal Son Returns

    Alwyn, satisfied that his cousin was in good paws, quickly went with the fox to try to find “Caden” and whoever they were with, hopefully to head off any potentially disastrous interactions. Alwyn hurried at quite a brisk pace, almost a run, and yet, they were in none of the common places that...
