In the night Robert was wandering around to find somewhere to sleep. It was raining and it was dark, It was even hard to see anything in this weather. Robert seeked shelter between some boxes due the rain at the dock. Robert heard someone coming and crawls away from the noises but remains in shelter, And was listening carefully from where the sound exactly came from as he tried to be as quiet as possible ( though wet fur has a strong sent so even a human would be able to find him ).

"Come out... I know you're there..." came a growl of a voice and standing just outside of Robert's hiding place was a large wolf, it was gargantuan as far as canine-like creatures went, the top of his head probably reaching mid-chest of the average person. The wolf was completely black in color and his peircing yellow eyes looked towards Robert's position expectantly, "You aren't to be harmed..." Adoff had heard a few complaints around the Ghost Shipyard, and usually complaints meant there was someone who didn't belong... someone who didn't belong usually meant they would fit right in at Twilight Moon Academy. Adoff couldn't have cared less, but he knew that Sa would simply thrive on the thought of having a student to watch over and care for... Sa was silly like that. It made it almost impossible to believe that Adoff and Sa were brother and sister... then again, there were other differences that made such things hard to believe.

Robert came out from his hiding place and looks a bit frightened of the black wolf in front of him, But gathered his courage and asked "Who are you? Robert then looked away for a moment and gazed out at the sea while talking with the wolf.
"How can I trust you?" Robert asked while trying to at least take cover from the rain.

"My name is Adoff. And you can't trust me because you obviously haven't met me before and I obviously don't appear to be the most trustworthy person you've ever met." The wolf shrugged, it really would have been better if Sa was here, because nobody ever really trusted a wolf, now did they? Well one kid trusted a wolf once, but I don't think Little Red Riding Hood is a good example for the current situation because last I checked- that story didn't end too well for the kid or the wolf... the grannie didn't get off too well either. "You seem a bit cold though... and I can take you to Twilight Moon Academy where you won't freeze to death or anything pitiful of that sort." Adoff sat silently, still letting the rain fall on his pelt- he wasn't too terribly happy at the current moment... he was wet- and like Robert, he was drenched in that 'wet dog smell.'

"Twilight Moon Academy?" Robert looked questioning at the wolf as he approached slowly the wolf and sat down in the front of him. "So... Your name is Adoff? I guess your not that bad since you gave me your name." Robert tilted his head slightly as he looked at the wolf with his ears lowered because of the rain and the smell.

Adoff frowned a wolfy frown, "Just stop it- you don't smell like a bed of roses, either." there was the slightest edge of harshness in his tone. Adoff was easily angered, apparently and he was well able to read body language. Anyways, "And yes- Twilight Moon Academy. T.M.A. for short. It'll take a short ride by boat to get there." Adoff's tail wrapped around his forepaws as if to keep them warm from the ever chilly air of the Ghost Shipyard. Adoff was trying to be nice here, and in all of the RPer's honesty... Adoff was doing a good job considering how well he normally does when it comes to showing kindness to others. He should get a gold star or something.

Robert looks confused as he said "It dosn't seem that I have much choice but to trust you on this one... Thank you kind sir." Robert got up and walked past the wolf and suddently stopped... Robert turned around and asked the wolf... "Where and when does the ship arive?" Robert sighed lightly and sat down again in front of the wolf.

((Please try to stay in 'past-tense' ... as in... 'Robert looked confused as he said...' because this RPB is RPed in past-tense... sorry if it's an inconvenience to you. Also... you're switching tenses in your post- despite the fact that it's rather adorable... I don't think everyone will be as lenient as I...))
"I can get us a ride on any ship here, really... and you're welcome." Adoff stood up, quietly walking along the docks of the shipyard, "Don't fall in the water- because I won't be saving you if you do, and don't get lost. Okay?" Adoff's gait wasn't too fast, but he wasn't walking at a lazy pace either- it was a casual kind of walk and his so easily earned agitation was pleasantly obvious in every step he took. His sulfurous yellow eyes looked towards Robert before looking again to make sure he didn't step on something while he was walking... because if something got lodged in your paws or something- it kinda sucked if you didn't have aposeable thumbs... yeah, Adoff kinda missed thumbs. He missed being human as well- but that wasn't relevant at the current moment.

Robert nodded at Adoff and followed him and kept himself in the same pase as Adoff while walking and watched his steps closely. Robert was nervous and a bit scared about what was going to happen and where he was going. He haven't been given much information and Adoff could easily just swallow him whole if he wanted too. Robert also wondered why he didn't belong at the dock ( he had no idea there was any racism in the world that caused him this ). Robert took a deep breath and sighed as he continued to follow adoff.

"OH AAAAAAADOOOOOOOOFF!!!" came a clear, musical voice that rang like the sweet tones of bells in the still air. A young woman came towards Adoff and Robert, she was tall and elegant, her movements smooth as silk as she almost seemed to glide towards the two. She ghasped. "Adoff! What do we have here? I mean... he's ADORABLE!" she smiled widely, "It's nice to meet you, my name is Sa." She nodded. The funny thing about the woman was that despite how happy and unendingly perky she might have seemed at the moment, she always seemed to be underlyingly calm, a being that couldn't be shaken. She was a pleasant being to be around.
Adoff looked towards Sa, "Adorable isn't the term I would use... but sure..." Adoff spoke sarcastically, continuing to walk, somehow he seemed to have an increased oddity in his demeanor, somehow he had become instantly a tad happier, yet still he seemed more aggrivated than before. Adoff had a lot of things on his mind a lot of the time.

Robert stood there listening to the howling when suddenly this young woman came from nowhere and started to compliment him. Robert started to blush as he tried to speak properly " H-H-Hello S-Sa my name i-is Robert." Robert bowed down and noticed that they have started to walk again and tried to keep up with their pase, Still blushing. "So where is that boat Adoff?" Robert didn't seem to have any clue of whats going on since he haven't been given much information but he tried to think in an optimistic way of this. At least he would get somewhere to sleep for the night and these people didn't seem too bad... In fact they looked like good people.

Well, atleast Sa looked like a nice person, if anything... Adoff looked like a nice... wolf.
"We're renting a boat? But that's so expensive..." Sa protested, she didn't sound whiny or loud about it, she sounded like a reasonable-minded human being. She placed a comforting hand on Robert's shoulder as she watched Adoff, awaiting his response, "Adoff can be a bit angry at times... good thing I showed up before he got all 'man PMS', huh?" she smiled to Robert, her voice was barely above a whisper when she spoke to him, obviously not intending for Adoff to hear.
Adoff wasn't happy at all- he heard Sa, of course... he just didn't say anything about it. Sa was his little sister, after all... he'd learned how to deal with this kind of stuff by now.

Robert tried to lift Sa's hand of his shoulder as he asked "When are we leaving?". Robert was obviously really worried at that moment and tried to have a low profile. Robert yawned tiredly. Suddenly he started to think of who was going to pay for the boat. Robert talked to himself using a low voice "I hope its not me". Robert felt the cold winds grasping his fur and chilling his soul as he shivers.

((*'Robert felt the cold winds grasping his fur and chilling his soul as he shivvered'
you switched tenses again.))
"We'll pay for everything, don't worry." Sa smiled to Robert, removing her hand from his shoulder. She seemed like a nice person to be around, "TMA is a school though... so you'll have to be a student to get lodging there... don't worry, though... it's rather nice there." she looked towards Adoff, "Even if my brother is your Master Teacher."
Okay... the odd thing about this was that the beautiful woman known as Sa had just said the massive, anger management class needing wolf was her brother... which didn't make much sense at all...
...hmmm....

Robert gazed upon the horizon and then looked back at the young lady with a stream of hope in his eyes and asked "When I travel to the school?" And then Robert thought for himself.
""I have no where else to go and this place doesn't seem so bad... If I will find mother one day I must keep strong as in the tales...""
Robert went closer to the young lady to take shelter from the cold winds. His ears lay down at the sides on his head and had the tail wrapped around his waist.
