Robin Hood
Robin Hood set Much down on the make-shift bed in their lean-to. He then turned back to Deniki "what do you think?" he asked.
Deniki
Deniki followed them all the way to the lean to, sniffing the ground eagerly as they all trudged along. Every once in a while, he would glance up at Much to see how the wolf was doing, before going back to scanning the wildlife around him. He was overjoyed at how they finally left the civilization and were actually coming upon a wild place. Poofed banner waving behind his trotting frame, he eased himself into the lean to, studdying the strange twig building curiously. He had never seen one of these things before. Everything about this pair was... Different.
At the human's sudden words, he headed back to the unusual bed and took a seat on the dry ground, a few leaves and twigs crunching lightly beneath him. He gave a loud, quick bark, banner giving a few wags. He was beginning to get used to this place.
Robin Hood
Robin Hood smiled and laughed a gentle laugh "I see you are beginning to relax a bit. Thes good." he turned around and walked out of the lean-to. setting the pack down on the way out "i'll be right back you two"
Deniki
Deniki's head turned so his eyes could follow the human as he left the lean to. Wonder where he's off to... he thought to himself, giving his banner one final wave before turning back to Much. Watching the wolf calmly, he gave a light bark to him, to see if he was up. It was taking an awfully long time for him to get back his strength.
Much
Much raised his head "what? Is somthing wrong?" he still looked drained but was getting better.
Deniki
Deniki's eyes settled on the wolf, and then gave his head a small shake. "No, simply wondering if you were up," he then replied, giving a small nod. Taking a seat next to the bed, he looked out across the area of the lean to. A fairly small space, with a few things here and there that Deniki could see. Interesting, all of this out in the wild where a human lived.
Much
"let me tell you a bit about our home there are archers everywhere whom you will meet soon, they are almost just like Robin Hood but they are a bit more human and less skilled. There is 7 acres of land that belongs to us here" he stopeed for a second, catching his breath "if you would like I can take you around later."
Deniki
Deniki sat there quietly, his breathing soft and smooth since coming to rest at the side of the bed. The trek here was a faintly tiring one, but it made his heart beat and that always gave him a good feeling-- whatever it was. He simply loved to be in motion.
His face made a few expressions as Much explained to him about the land. It sounded quite interesting, and Deniki was fairly astonished. All of this, to a human? And the archers, what was such a thing, anyway?
"Sounds awesome," he began, mind reeling with thoughts and how a human could own so much, "nothing'd be better than taking a trip around the place." he then finished, wondering if Much had regained his energy yet, and also wondering where the human went.
Will Scarlet
"hey Much how are you boy?" came a new, yoounger voice. Will stepped over to Much. He stopped an looked at Deniki, he bent down and held out his hand, it had somthing in it. "hello there, he said.
Deniki
And then suddenly, almost startling Deniki, a new human came in. Turning his head quite abruptly at the entrance of this unknown two-legged, he snorted. The fur along his spine only slightly bristled, unsure of this human, until it suddenly seemed that the human knew the wolf. Calming a bit, he watched as the hand was held out to him. His dark nares quivered, catching the wafting scent of something sitting in the human's palm. Reaching out with his neck and not moving the rest of his body, he went to sniff whatever it was, and then pluck it up into his jaws.
Will Scarlet
Will laughed. "like it?" he then turned to Much "you feeling better boy? Robin Hood sent me to check. He wants you to tkae Deniki around the place when you feel better. He set down his bow and quiver, not as fancy as Robin Hood's but good.
Much
Much looked up at will letting out a small bark, he jumped off and trotted, carefully, to Will. He looked up to him and slightly almost nodded his head to him when the question was asked. Then he turned to Deniki "we can go now I am feeling better, we just won't go fast, I am still not myself"
Deniki
Deniki watched as Much went off to the new human, and he gave his head just a small tilt again, before returning it to normal posture once more. He finished chewing whatever the human had in his hand, and then swallowed the rest, licking his teeth and getting most of the bits leftover in his mouth. Then he turned to human and wolf, getting up and heading over to them. A deep sigh was released from the pits of his lungs as he looked upward at this new two-legged, wondering who he was. His auds swiveled as Much began speaking, and he gave a light smile and nod. "Sounds good," he stated, trotting eagerly to the opening of the lean to, where he turned and stood. Although he was a bit disappointed that they would be going slower than what he would have planned, it would still be great to get out there and explore. So there he stood, and waited. "Ready when you are,"
Much
Much looked up at him finally looking himself again "ahh thats better, thanks Will" Will had given him somthing from a small cabinat.. Much then leaped out of the lean-to "come on lets go" he barked to DEniki
Deniki
Deniki tilted his head a bit as Much spoke what seemed to be the human's name. Will? he thought to himself, and then slowly shook his head, though keeping it all to himself. Humans never ceased to arouse his curiousity.
Then he snapped back to what was happening and watched as the human gave Much something from a... Well, he couldn't be sure. He took a hopping start after Much, following him out of the lean to and into the cool breezes. "Where're we going?" he suddenly asked, ready to follow Much wherever he went. Tourguide... he then added in his mind, grinning slightly. Deniki didn't know the area at all, or anywhere else for that matter, so it'de probably be best if he just had Much as a tourguide.
Much
Much smiled I'm going to take you to meet the rest of the archers. You've already met two Ronin Hood and Will Scarlett, now you have to meet the rest, and he bounded off into the forest part of their territory.
Deniki
Deniki looked at him, giving a nod, before turning to run out after him. He dodged the trees and bushes, zoomed over the grass and dirt, and rejoiced at feeling the wind whip through his pelt. He kept up with Much the whole time, making sure he didn't fall back. Even then, he'de be able to easily catch up, but he didn't feel like playing "Hunt" at the moment. "Hunt" was just a game he played with his siblings and parents when he was young.
Waiting for Much to stop or slow down, his eyes scanned the land. Beautiful.
Much
They soon came upon another lean-to type of thing, only, it was higher up and built into the tree. Much sat down and let out a couple short barks. Then he looked back to Deniki, signaling for him to sit down.
Deniki
Deniki quickened his pace as his eyes soon landed on the new lean to, and then he came to a halt. Another one, though a bit different. At this, he wondered. Who resided in this crazy contraption?
"Interesting, again." he stated, taking a seat upon his rump and staring at it. He listened intently for any sounds that may come from inside, figuring that a human was around somewhere.
Little John
A male's head popped over the side, bow in hand, quiver on back, he looked as though he was ready to shoot, then he smiled and lowered his bow "Much!!! How was your trip? Who is your friend there?" he said, looking over to Deniki.
Much
Much barked happily. "this is Little John, he is Robin Hood's best friend" he said to Deniki.
Deniki
Deniki's auds pricked for a moment as yet another human popped up from this twig house. This place was weird, with all of these humans who lived such different lifestyles from the ones in town. At least the ones he seen before. Either way, a human was a human, and he knew they had variety.
"Ah, interesting," he simply stated, for no apparent reason, and then he thought. "Who was that last human?" he then asked, wondering. Of course, he had picked up the name 'Will' from before, but he wanted to confirm it. This place obviously had a lot of humans running around, and he didn't want to go getting names jumbled up. He knew how disastrous that stuff could be.
Much
"Will Scarlet, he is one of the youngest here" was the reply.He was suddenly looking sick again.
Deniki
Deniki looked at the new human, his eyes taking in every motion and twinge of muscle. Then he gave a light sigh, though it was just a plain breath being released. So, he had heard correctly, the last was indeed called 'Will'. Then, as his eyes caught a glimpse of Much, Deniki noticed that the wolf didn't seem to look so well. Oh great, again? he asked to himself, expecting no answer that he could think up for his own question. "Are you okay?" he then asked, forgetting about that, and raising an invisible brow in an inquisitive manner. Through that, a hint of caution was mixed in.
Much
Much looked at him, pure fear in his eyes. He shook himself "I-I'll be fine" he breathed.
Deniki
Deniki looked at Much, a bit confused. It was quite clear and safe to assume that there was a problem here. Deniki didn't want anyone dieing on him, either. He doubted it would come to that, though. "I wouldn't be so sure of that," he stated, tilting his head a bit. Then he spoke once more, "Maybe we should go back?" He wasn't feeling too great about that look in Much's eyes, either. Something was up.
Much
Much looked at him, fear still very clear in his eyes. "no.....really it's ok" he said, turning his head and then staring into space.
Deniki
Deniki only watched him with an interested, curious gaze then. He still didn't think the wolf was okay, so he didn't take heed to his 'okay' words.
"I think you should rest," he stated, though not wanting to sound like his mother or anything. That was the last thing Deniki ever wanted to do, was be someone's mom.
Robin Hood
"Much!!! Deniki!!!" came Robin Hood's call "come on you two".
Deniki
Deniki's auds flickered at the sound of the human's voice. Standing quickly, he turned and began to leave. "He's calling," he simply stated, but then a new scent caught his attention. He stopped, sniffing the air briefly, before looking around. "Do you smell that?" he asked, a low growl rumbling from his throat. He could smell an intruder, cat-like even, and it didn't smell like a friendly feline.
Much
Much nodded "I smell it, don't go to it, go back to the hut...."he looked to the other, he ment no funny business. He then stood up and ran in the direction of the smell he looked barely stable and ran into a tree a couple times but he soon dissapeared into the brush.
Deniki
Deniki was a bit startled at the wolf's words, but then figured he shouldn't be. He only shook his head and started off for the hut. He didn't trust this... Position he was in.
