ooc. Wow... very long. I'll try to make them a little shorter next time.
Female. Rave stared coldly at Blade, insulted by the remark. Would he regard Deanna this way? Being a weak female? "To play the environment to one's advantage is the law of nature. You must find the upper hand, no matter what the circumstances," Rave told him, his voice stern. There was a short paused before his angry voice continued. "And do not think that being female makes her any less than you or I. If she were to lose a battle with me, it would be because I was the stronger wolf, the greater warrior." The words may have seemed cruel, and even possible one sided, but there was a deep truth in them that even Rave wouldn't be able to explain. If he killed Deanna, then it would be so simply because he had prevailed. If he killed Arina now, it would be no different. The logic of Blade was naive, untested in battle.
Blade's question, the first in their conversation so far, was surprisingly pointed and meaningful. It almost brought a smile to the black male, but for his anger it did not. "A trophy to my victory, and the strength of Paradise Falls," Rave replied. "Such a body would only serve to show others my victory." More experienced. Yes, unfortunately Rave did not doubt this (whether it was true or not). Such experience had been forced on him, in the most cruel of ways. Even he could not change that...
Arina's growl made him turn attentively. To gain? To gain?! Had her question not been answered? But no matter. "Blood does not suffice my hunger," he said to her. "These lands will be the home of my pack, provide food for them to feed on..." He paused slightly, his gaze tearing into her eyes. " ... should I want to." The whole conflict had started over the supsicion of his actions. And he felt he needed to point this out.
The truth be told, he was unsure of how Deanna would react, if she found he'd claimed a territory in her name. She would either be delighted, or extremely furious. "But there is no pride in taking land from a single stranger..." he continued. "Not to be frank, but your lands are not worth my time. Why squander my efforts on on you, when I can take over an entire pack?" So it was over? Just like that? Not necessarily... true, in the conversation, he had almost forgotten about the female. His attention was now completely turned toward Blade (whom he now turned towards).
"You could be a great wolf," Rave prophecized, his voice harsh. "But you have no direction... nothing but wasted ambition. For her..." He glared over at Arina. "And nothing so foolish as unworthy ideals." He stood for a moment, glaring between the two of them. His fur seemed darker, if that was possible, with the magical fury that seemed to be seeping from the hairs.

Blade took his words and passed them through his mind. He said he could be a great wolf. He smiled. Thats what he wanted. But first he had to clear up one matter.
"I do not believe that females are weaker. They are just as strong as any of us if not stronger. I was tuaght from a young age to respect females and to give them space. To approach them only when I need to speak to them or defend them. That upbringing was my human upbringing that is ingrianed so deep that it effects what I do."
He looked at Arina. He knew now or hoped that he knew that Rave would not take these lands. If so then maybe he could move off now or maybe...no. He kept his head facing the floor. He would ask. he would ask now.
"If I'm so...so undirected then teach me. Help me to be a great wolf." He said this with so much desperation in his voice that he even suprised himself. Rave's words had a more solid logic to them than his did but then agian everyone thinks in a different way.

Arina tried to hide her astonishment!
WHAT? This had been the last thing she had expected, however, she had no reason to doubt that Blades intentions were, at least to him, logical in his mind, even if it made no sense to her or any other wolf.
Deciding she had better say something, she stepped forward gracefully and said,"If this is what you wish Blade, then I shall say nothing more upon the matter." She suddenly felt a smile twitching at the ends of maw. "But, if you ever need help, then you are always welcome here...as long as you have no intention to cause undue pain."
She turned her back and started to leave.

To defend them... to defend them. Rave too held the werewolf blood, yet he did not feel this desire. He did not feel it the way Blade seemed to. But his retort was cut short by Blade's words. The male's head was hung, his eyes facing downward. And his voice, to Rave, sounded so pleading. "If I'm so...so undirected then teach me. Help me to be a great wolf."
Rave's blue eyes looked down on him unmoving. Not even as Arina spoke. Not even as she started to take her leave. "Next time we meet," Rave said, his voice surprisingly quiet, but hateful nonetheless, "Next time we meet, you won't turn your back on me." His eyes finally moved up to her. "The next time you turn so foolishly open to me, I won't hesitate to sink my jaws into your flesh. It is my right for your carelessness." His eyes marked her forebodingly for a moment, before he quickly turned them back to Blade.
It seemed things had changed in his favor. His attention had started on Arina and ended on Blade. Maybe this way was better than he had planned. His eyes were cold but sententious. “Then I give you your first lesson, and you will do well to listen,” his voice commanded. “You are a wolf, not a human. You live here and now, not in the years of your youth. You live as a wolf and die as one, and you live and die not for the teachings of a human.” Rave moved slightly to the side of him, his chest still squarely facing Blade as he spoke.
“If you wish to be a great wolf, then you must know what you live for… what you die for.” Rave stood watching him. “One day you will tell me what that is. Untill that day though, when you find it, I will give you something to live for.” His voice was almost growling. “You will live for my will and voice, my every command and my very existence. You will obey and learn. And untill that day when you can answer my question, you will not be free. Do you accept?” His eyes flickered with something… pride? Maybe, but even he wasn’t sure.

ooc: What does sententious mean? Sorry I just had to ask.
ic:
Raising his head he nodded at Arina as she turned her back to leave. He turned to face Rave as he spoke to Arina. He could not believe that he had said that but it was right for him to say it.
He listened just as Rave had commanded him to do looking straight at him he thought over the words. It was worth the price and no doubt it would work out in the end. He watched as Rave moved to the side of him slightly.
"I accept and will do as you say down to the last word." He said in reply to Rave's words bowing his head in submition.

Sorry! I was a little stumped but I had some great advice from a friend to help. Okay back on to the thread!
IC:
Pausing, she smiled at Raves comment. She wasn`t as foolish as she looked and, sometimes, acted. She wiped the smile quickly from her mouth.
"Rave," she said, looking around at him and Blade, "next time I turn my back on you, I will be prepared. I will be ready to defend myself from you...should you ever foolishly try to attack me." She turned and carried on walking away from the two of them.
