New Beginnings {Jill}

Amon watched and waited as the wherlings were dismissed from their lessons. He nodded, smiled, and waved politely as the young pairs walked passed him. But none of them so far were the pair that he was waiting to see. He was waiting for a particular gold pair and he was actually wondering if they had even attended this little mini-lesson. Amonsk's worry too much. Amonsk's will find Allesask's. Amonsk’s deep, strong, gentle voice calmed the twenty-six turn old brown handler, just as it has for the past seven turns. He knew he was worrying for nothing. Allesandra was a strong woman and could take care of herself, and even though she was still a very young wherling, Allesask was a gold, and there wasn’t a wher he knew of that could disobey a direct order from a gold.

Allessa smiled and waved to her classmates as they left. It had been a good lesson, improving communication between themselves and their bondeds.alessask kept herself behind alessa as the others went by, peeking around her side at her clutch-mates. Alessandra scratched her eye ridges fondly, eliciting a croon from the little gold as the room emptied.

It was Alessask's insistence that there be no one behind her, that made sure they were the last to leave the room. When they did alessa did a sort of stutter step-stop. She hadn't expected to have Amon there waiting for her. Her lips curved into a soft smile on their own and she met his eyes for a moment before her wheret knocked her forward another step. The little gold's voice reached her plaintively.

-Why stop ? Allessask is sorry... !!! Did allessask hurt allessasks?!- she had to break out in laughter as the little gold began closely inspecting and sniffing every body part she'd come into contact with in a panic. Afraid she had hurt her.

"I'm fine little love, you didn't hurt me. See? Now come. There's someone We should greet.".

With a smile the pair closed the distance to the brown pair. " It's good to see you Amon. How are you Amonsk?"

Alessask surprised alessa by continuing to hide behind her, but this time it wasn't because of fear. She was shy because of the older brown. The thought gave alessa a pause but she smiled. A friend would help the gold gain more confidence. It was a good thing.

Amon raised his eyebrows curiously when he saw that Allessandra and Allessask were the last ones to leave the little tent. He hadn’t expected that, but each to their own. He saw her stuttering steps and his smile widened. He had surprised her, and was quite pleased by it. He chuckled softly when he saw the woman’s little gold wher knock into her. Apparently stopping wasn’t the first thing on the young wher’s mind. I see you two have grown quite close. He said in greeting as Allessandra and Allessask approached. It is good to see you again as well Allessandra. Don’t worry about him Allessask, his whimpers worse than his bite. It was obvious that he loved his brown, but they both derived plenty of joy in teasing each other. The man’s hand was gently scratching his wher’s eye ridges as he spoke.

Amonsk sniffed curiously at Allessandra and Allessask as they got closer. Both scents were familiar, but the woman’s was more so than her whers. Amonsk has been well Allessask's, how you been? And how is Allessask? His swirling gaze was as gentle as his deep voice as he spoke to both the woman and her gold wher. He didn’t quite understand why Allessask was hiding, and wondered if his handler really did look that scary. The wher’s thoughts easily transmitted to his handler, which made Amon roll his eyes and shake his head at his wher. Do I really look scary? He looked from his own brown wher to Allessandra. He didn’t think he was a scary person, but he knew each person’s perception of others is different, and he wondered what her’s was.

Alessandra smiled softly and nodded. She and alessask were getting closer. The young gold counted on her for everything. She herself needed and had discovered she loved the role of protector, caregiver, and mother.

" We're getting the hang of it."she scratched the wheret under the chin getting a happy croon for her efforts. The gold poked her head around alessa again as Amon spoke to her, tilting her head curiously as she shyly considered amonsk again. Would he like her? What if he didn't!?! What if her hide was dull!?!? What if she was a terrible gold!?!?!

Allessask was so wrapped up in her fears she didn't notice him sniffing them until it was too late. With a startled Eep she scrambled to get on alessa's other side, careful to keep hers between herself and the scary ones. Alessa sighed and passed her hand over allessask's neck whispering soothingly to calm her. After a few minutes she'd settled into an alert mindset instead of a panicked one. She seemed to have forgotten that amonsk had spoken, so she nudged her.

"Well I've been doing just fine. How about it alessask? You going to tell amonsk how you've been doing?". She prompted. They'd Been working on talking normally with others, but with anyone but her, she was still so shy.

The little gold looked up from Her's to Amon to amonsk and back at hers to recieved an encouraging nod. She could do this!
Her voice was a little shakey, but she managed " I've been good." before ducking back and pressing her face as close against Her's back as she could.

Alessa couldn't help her mother-like smile. "She's just shy, and still a bit skittish. It's just something that's gonna take a little time." she almost didn't stop her laugh as Amon asked if he was really that scary. Scary wasn't something she thought when she saw him. In fact that was something quite different.
" I don't think you could be scary if you tried Amon."

[Akira]

Amon jumped a little when Allessask scrambled around Allessandra’s other side. He wasn’t sure exactly what had happened to scare the young gold, but he was almost positive that it had something to do with him. He looked over at Allessa as she calmed her gold, and a small smiled spread his lips. Amonsk was just as confused as his handler by the gold’s reaction and the brown looked up at his handler with an obviously confused, swirling gaze. Then they both looked at Alessandra as she spoke. Both of the males watched curiously as Allessask looked from each of them back to her own handler. Amonsk crooned softly at Allessask’s words, trying to give her some encouragement. Amon smiled softly at Allessa’s words and chuckled a little. Are you sure about that? He had a mischievous little grin on his face as he spoke.
