Big City Boy VS Proud Country Gal - SoW

Squad1rox said the following:

The ebony black hunting dog padded through town, a soft grin on her face, glad for there to be snow back on the ground in Nome. Summer was starting to get boring.

She walked with obvious self confidence, not in a vain way, but in a way that she knew her self-worth and was happy with it.

And as the mutt walked along, she passed by a german shepherd with a gold pelt and fiery eyes, giving him a polite "hello" before going on about her day.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon had been walking through the freezing, blinding white snow for only 4 minutes since his owner kicked him out and told him to go 'play with the other dogs' and he hated it every second he was standing in the blistering cold as it hurt his paws. He hadn't met any dogs worthy of 'playing with'. He let out a sigh. He was too busy shivering when he heard someone passing him give him their greetings. He looked back, surprised, and saw a large sized, black dog. He choked out a gruff sounding "hey," trying to get the other dog's attention. It was the best he could manage at the moment.


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne turned back around at the rough return greeting, though it wasn't an uncommon one here in rough and tumble Nome.

"Hey." She said back, flicking her ear with the tear in it, her long tail wagging slowly. "You're new here, aren't you?" She certainly hadn't seen his face until then. "What's your name? I'm Bullet Anne." She grinned.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon was far too cold to be able to participate in any form of conversation right now. He just seeked the comfort of warmth. "Need... heat..." he finished, hoping the other would understand his desperation. He prayed she would know of a place the two could take shelter out of the cold.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Okay, now I KNOW you're not from around here." No Nome canine was so affected by an autumn frost. The huntress laughed at this, and began to pad away. "Come on, we can hang at my place, Master is out." She offered with a grin over the shoulder.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon glared at the other for laughing at his misfortune. He snorted, disgruntled and annoyed, but followed her nonetheless. As long as she provided him a warm place to relax, he would withstand the annoyance. He anticipated stepping into the warmth of the indoors, where he would finally explain himself to this black dog.


Squad1rox said the following:

"The fireplace is back here." Bullet Anne said as they slipped through the doggie door into the humble but comfortable cabin the huntress called home.

In the living room the fire was getting close to embers, so the black dog tossed a log in there using her teeth, being careful not to get any splinters in her gums.

"And welcome to my humble home." She said to Napoleon, her tail thumping against the ground.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon glanced to the side to see the pup. How cute, he thought. Others tend to not notice that Napoleon has a soft side for pups and younglings, but that's because he never states that fact, keeping it hidden in the dark. He turned back to the other as he began closing in on the warmth given off by the fire. He sat as close as possible to the flames in order to warm his skin as he let out a sigh of content. He was truly grateful that this dog he just met allowed him into her own safe haven. Truly an angel sent from above.
"It's Napoleon. And yes, I am new here," he stated while watching the other. He began licking his paws, getting rid if any filth he may have stepped on by accident. After a thorough cleanse, he looked to the other and gave her a small smile. The least he could do was show the other his appreciation for her generosity, so he bowed his head and muttered words of thanks.


Squad1rox said the following:

Brutus went on sleeping, laying on his back and making small noises as his legs jerked here and there as he presumably chased something in his dream.

Bullet Anne laid down. "Well Napoleon, where are ya from? Some place warmer I'm guessing?" She resisted a snicker.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon could tell the other tried her best not to let out any sounds indication how humourous she found his behavior toward the cold. It wasn't his fault he had lesser fur to cover him and keep him toasty. Plus he tends to resist going out when it is cold, his owner just happened to kick him out of the house in this particular cold day. He was also surprised to say the least that the other couldn't guess his origin from his accent. "You cannot tell?" He had a genuinely surprised look upon his face.


Squad1rox said the following:

"'Friad not Napoleon." She hadn't heard his accent before, so she could not tell where he had came from. "Care to enlighten me?" The mutt asked. "I'm guessing it's someplace fancy, right?" Napoleon, not offense to him, did not look like he was a working dog. More like a simple companion to his owner.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon knew he shouldn't have been so surprised. He was in the-middle-of-nowhere Alaska. "I'm german, straight from Deutschland," he said as he puffed out his chest as if proud of his lineage. "I used to live with a wealthy family, however they betrayed me when I was a young adult and send me to this blizzard continent," he concluded with a look if displeasure.


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne listened to his boasting with an even temper, just to let him have his fun. "Well, such is the way of humans. Ain't that bad, I got adopted when I was just a pup."

"And 'Murica," She said "'Murica" with a heavy, fake redneck accent. "Ain't that bad. Just takes getting some used to."


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon didn't even bother to let loose a cackle as he was too caught up in his thoughts. He layed down and placed his head upon his paws. "I sure hope so," he replied. He hoped deep down that she was correct. Even though he won't admit it to himself, he knew he was most likely never to return to the country he called home. He sighed, listening to the flames crackle.


Squad1rox said the following:

"We've got dogs from all over who finds ways to deal with the cold. Why, that Miss Alice came from France, and so did my friend Noah. Alan is from Britain, and that former sled dog Viktor is from Russia if I'm right." Her brow furrowed as she tried to remember.

"Don't look so sad Napoleon." She grinned in an attempt to make him grin. "Nome will be your true home in no time, if you let it."


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon scoffed "I don't look sad," he argued, refusing to have the other look upon him as 'weak'. "I'm just not a fan of the weather here, not to mention its run down which isn't quite my style." He appeared a bit disgruntled with his predicament. He knows Anne meant well with her words, and he was more than a bit pleased with her comforting words of advice. "However, you have my gratitude for everything you did for me," he finished with a frown upon his face.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Hey," Bullet Anne protested. "Nome is no new York city, but it is not run down! Haven't you ever heard of a small town feel?" She cocked her head.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon's ears flattened to her head in irritation. "No I have not, matter of fact," he replied to the others protest. He almost laughed at how defensive she got when it came to the small country town. Well, she did grow up here, so that could be a reason why she took offense, but other than that it was, as Anne had noted, not New York City.


Squad1rox said the following:

A soft growl left Bullet Anne's throw before she took a deep breath and resisted smacking Napoleon over his thick skull. "You'll find it soon enough. Just 'Bout everyone knows everyone around here."

"By the way, can you fight?" She inquired nonchalantly.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon smirked at the others disliking for his attitude, however he honestly couldn't care less. He felt like he finally trumped her happy go lucky attitude, leaving her practically on the verge of erupting on him for his constant pessimism. When she asked if he could fight, he grinned from ear to ear, more than happy to continue his boasting streak. "Well, now that you mention it I was raised a guard dog only by the finest of trainers in Berlin," he gloated, which was something he excelled in quite well.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Oh were you?" Bullet Anne asked, and abruptly lunged at the punky, prissy, pessimnic, purebred. It'd be fun to scare him out of his skin, she deserved to have a little fun with him like how he was having fun with her.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon was caught by surprise, to say the least, at the other's sudden actions. He flinched when the other's body made contact with his own. He let her have her fun as she pinned him. Of course he would easily be able to topple the other, but he would give this lass the benefit of the doubt in this case if it would make her happy. He lied there, grinning at the other's attempts while playing along throughout.


Squad1rox said the following:

"I fought wolves before you know." Bullet Anne said, grinning, as if to scare him. "I fought lots. That's how my ear got so messed up, I fight." She twitched her ear as if to emphasis this.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

He was surprised by the information she provided and his eyes widened in surprise. "Wow," was all he had to say. She must be more powerful than she looked. He hadn't gotten into fights with Wolves before, but he had fought large dogs like himself and intruders from his home. He was only a guard dog, after all.


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne snickered, happy to see his eyes pop out of his head. "Yeah. I'm good at fighting. Lots of fun." As long as she was winning, that was. Which she tried hard to do, but she couldn't always beat her opponents.

"How many wolves have you fought?" She inquired, a small note of teasing in her voice. Only a little.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon chuckled darkly before teasing the other right back. "I'm not dumb enough to rush in and fight a much larger and stronger oppondnt than I," he noted. It was a fact. He wouldn't dare try to run into a fight he knew he was bound to lose. His only exception would be when it came to protecting those he loved or held close to his heart.


Squad1rox said the following:

He had her there, sometimes she took off a bigger bite than she could chew. "You say dumb, I say bravery and willing to protect Nome from the savages in the wild." She was aware that she sounded a bit high and mighty, but oh well.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

"Do you happen to hunt them down only to protect the ones you love? Sounds like a game for you," he replied sort of coldly. He didn't mean to defend the wolves, but he also didn't hold any distaste for them as he had no reason. "I mean, don't get me wrong," he began once more with a small smile back on his face, "you sound like a mighty brave lass if you ask me," he concluded.


Squad1rox said the following:

"I wouldn't call it a game, but I do feel satisfied with myself after doing it." She nbobbed her head. "Why thank you." The black mutt stepped off the golden purebred. "Up for a spare?" Bullet Anne inquired, play bowing.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon bowed his head when the other thanked him. When he saw her play bow, he couldn't help but get up, stretching his limbs, before pouncing the other in a quick, sporadic motion so he had her pinned. He looked down at the other with a grin of satisfaction. "Got you."


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne let out a soft yap, not expecting him to get her so fast. But she soon came over her shock and looked up at the shepherd. "Not for long." She slid her hind paws up until they were in his belly, and pushed him away.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon hadn't expected the other to sneak her food under him and push him away. It didn't really do much to move him as he was larger and heavier built than the other, but he just played along with her and threw himself off of her, grinning. It's been a while since he had fun like this.


Squad1rox said the following:

Jumping to her paws, Bullet Anne smacked his floppy ear with one massive webbed forepaw, though it was a light clout meant for more fun than to cause actual harm. "Ha!" She yapped.



CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon gave a small smile before lightly smacking the other upside the head with his paw, letting loose a curt chuckle. "Ha," he replied quietly as of to mock her.


Squad1rox said the following:

Noticing this little copycat trait, Bullet Anne poked his nose. "Boop." She wagged, long tail wagging on the floor.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

He wrinkled his nose before pushing her side lightly enough to move her over a bit with his paw. He looked down his nose at her as he did so.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Don't give me that look." Bullet Anne said with a half serious tone.

In fact, in response the dirty look, she took possession of his muzzle into her mouth. Common dominance move canines. "Punk." She said awkwardly around the German shepherd's nose.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

He hated having his nose touched cause it tickled him for reasons unknown, however he would refuse to tell this to the other, afraid she would use his weakness against him.
He was confused as the other grabbed hold of his muzzle with her own. He had a hard time opening his mouth, so he mumbled: "what are you doing?"


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne rolled her golden yellow eyes. "Asserting dominance, duh." It was awkward to say by needed to be explained to the foreigner. "Not that I didn't already have it......" She snickered while still holding Napoleon's muzzle.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon grinned at the others explanation as he, too, rolled his eyes. "Whatever helps you sleep at night, princess," he said before pulling his muzzle out of her mouth. "By the way, you should probably consider a mint," he said with a smirk as he scrunched up his nose as if he smelled something foul.


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne scrunched you her own nose in annoyance. "I oughta shove you in a mud puddle. You're too....... clean for Nome. Gotta toughen up you wuss!" She quipped back.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

He puffed out his chest in a proud manner, "why would I ever have the need to mess around in dirt?" He didn't mind getting dirty every once in a while if it was for a good or adequate cause, but he wouldn't just throw himself into filth for no deliberate reason. "Plus it was a joke," he finished, clearing the air.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Yeah, yeah, whatever." Bullet Anne snorted.

Then the red puppy, little Brutus, woke up from his nap, yawning and showing lots of sharp little puppy teeth.

He looked around drowsily, and saw Napoleon. "Momma, who's this?" He asked, rolling out of the blanket he was sleeping on, blinking sleep away from his leafy green eyes.

"This is Napoleon." Bullet Anne said.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon blinked in surprise when the pup called Anne 'momma'. Was Bullet Anne really a mother of a pup? She didn't look to be one. He looked back to the other. "You're a mother?" His eyebrow rose in curiosity.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Of course she is silly head!" Brutus yipped, skipping around the pair.

The black mutt leaned over and whispered into Napoleon's ear. "Found him in town one day. Adopted. He just keeps insisting I'm his mother. I have no clue what happened to his real one." She explained.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleons curiosity was out to rest with Anne's explanation. He watched as the small red pup began circling the two, happily. "Oh," was all he could muster. He wasn't as surprised as if she were to say she was his birth mother. He continued watching the pup, a smile arising to his face as he watched the pup. He found the other's joy to rub off on him.


Squad1rox said the following:

Brutus yipped in delight at having a visitor. "Hi Napoleon!" He paused behind the German Shepherd, and proceeded to climb up his back until his head was on top of Napoleon's, the pup giggling like mad.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon felt as the pup hiked his way up to Napoleon's head, giggling like a fool all the way. Napoleon had to admit this pup was adorable. A smile made its way to his face as he let out a low, gruff chuckle. "Well hello there fella," he replied to the pups greeting as he tried his best to look at the pup above him.


Squad1rox said the following:

"My name is Brutus!" The green eyed canine said, unaware that Bullet Anne had already informed Napoleon. And with that introduction, he proceeded to gently nibble on the german shepherd's one floppy ear. "Nom nom nom."


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon grinned. "Well it's a pleasure, Brutus." He felt as the pup began cheewing on his ear, but chose to ignore it for now, focusing once again on Anne. "Sweet pup," he mentioned, chuckling at the other's pup-like actions.


Squad1rox said the following:

Bullet Anne laughed. "That's what they all say. You should see him some other time......" She looked at Brutus as she said her next words. "When he's being a naughty boy."

Brutus let go of Napoleon's ear to protest the accusation. "I am not a naughty boy! I'm a good boy Momma!"

"Sure you are."


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon looked up and Brutus before gazing at Anne once again. "Are you sure it isn't because of the naughty mom?" he questioned with a smirk on his face. He loved getting under Anne's skin, it got her so worked up.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Hey!" Bullet Anne yapped. "Punk, you try watching after a pup who seems to only hear what he wants to hear and runs off whenever you leave the house!" He was working at his attempt to get her riled up quite well.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon honestly found it hilarious considering she was acting up just as a pup would. He grinned his usual shit-eating (not literally), smug smile. "Wow chill little lady. You know getting angry makes your Immune system grow weak? Relax before you get a heart attack," he joked before stretching his limbs, which were close to falling asleep.


Squad1rox said the following:

"If I was going to have a heart attack, a promise it would' happened long before now." Bullet Anne snarled. "Now how about you hush up before I tear off half your ear and make us twinies." She twitched her torn ear for emphasis.


CoolEmoticon said the following:

He flinched at her threat. The smile that once adorned his face began to lower into a flattened line. "Don't you think that's a bit... extreme?" His ears lowered to his head as he tried his best to hide them. "Plus you wouldn't dare put a scar or tear anywhere upon my body, less you wish to be put down by me," he said, wrinkling his nose. The one thing he would not tolerate would be to have his beautiful coat messed up and tarnished.


Squad1rox said the following:

"Extremes are quite indeed normal for me." Bullet Anne said, baring her fangs in a deadly grin. "Put down by you? Pfft..... Boy I've being trained to kill since I could walk. It's my blood. Got that? I don't guard I kill for a living." Things were starting to turn from teases and ill-made jokes to actual risks of a brawl.

Brutus broke the tension with a whine. "Momma you're scaring me!" He slid off Napoleon's back and stood between the two grown ups. "Stop!"


CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon stood up, towering over the two others. He let out a dark, menacing chuckle at her response. "You might wanna get that checked out mein Freund, sounds mentally unhealthy. Plus unlike you I don't kill for fun and game, I only protect those I love whom are in danger." What made him more angry than anything was how she blatantly belittled his previous occupancy as a guard dog. Hunters were so full of themselves. "You say guard dog as if it's a position of low standards. Pfft, hunters." He rolled his eyes before he turned tail and began heading towards the exit, exhausted from the fighting. He would rather deal with the snow than arrogance.


Squad1rox said the following:

"And you might want to check yourself because that anoint attitude of Your's won't be any good to you here!" Bullet Anne snapped. Ugh. She prayed she wouldn't have to see this guy again anytime so I n, but knowing small little Nome..... she could hope the inevitable would take a while.

Brutus whined louder. "Don't go!" He begged Napoleon.



CoolEmoticon said the following:

Napoleon ignored her as he made his exit, nose held high as the other continued to speak. He did feel bad to have left Brutus seeing him in such a sour mood, and his whining did almost make him rethink his decisions, but hopefully the pup could see him again without the hunter. He didn't need to deal with the dog's pity drama, and as for Nome? Well let's just say he didn't get the best welcoming he had hoped for.


Squad1rox said the following:


Bullet Anne snarled after him. "And don't come back!" First that weirdo Woodsly and now namby pamby Napoleon. Ugh. She didn't want to either anytime soon.

Brutus whined but didn't dare follow the German shepherd. "Bye...."
