Snowden

The snow leopard, leaving his kill after loosing track of Tri-Tundra, came back to the Central Lands. Jais was still searching about at the Game Trails, tring to find Tri-Tundra, Auna, and himself. Auna had gone back to the Den Site to feed her sister and the youngsters there.

By now, Snowden was near his adult size. He sat back on his haunches and licked his furry paw, then rubbed it over his head, trying to clean some of the blood off.

Dark Star

The brujo loped over to meet Snowden, having been rather anxious on their return. Breathless, and obviously searching himself, he loped up to the leopard. "Snowden...have you seen...Tri-Tundra...or the others?" He looked about, a slight wind giving him the fresh scent of his female pack mate. "I heard a howl...but it did not come from a wolf, that I am sure of." He thought deeply of where she could be, or who might have howled. His thoughts then turned to the hunt. "Were you successful?"

Kana*Pups

Kana was about to go and have a talk with her two sons' when she caught her mate's scent on the wind. Smiling she looked at the pups, "Your father is near by, lets go find him and see if he would like to come exploring with us." She said with another smile. She started towards where she thought he was, stopping and scenting the wind to make sure she was on the right trail. Finally she stopped on top of a hill, looking down she saw him, and…Snowden! My how he had grown. Smiling she made her way down the hill, "Hello." She said to them both, she touched her mate's mug with her own.

Aris, Roselin and Viggo moved slowly down the hill; trying not to trip win suddenly Viggo caught a root with his front paw and went tumbling down the hill. "Viggo!" Roselin said, running after her brother she stopped at the bottom and started laughing, Aris soon joined in the laughter. Viggo glared at his sisters, he had landed in a mud hole and was covered in it! Standing he shook, sending mud everywhere. "Stop it!" Aris said, jumping away from him. Mud had landed right on top of Roselin's head and she glared right back at her brother. He just smiled, "Serves you right." He said, walking over to his parents. Aris and Roselin followed; Roselin stopped next to her father, "Hi daddy!" She said, wagging her tail.

Snowden

Snowden smiled at the sight of his two alphas and a purr invaded his voice. But there was a touch of concern too, for he didn't know where any of the others were either. "I last saw Tri-Tundra headed after some deer with me. But there was confusion... I lost track of her some way or another and headed back here in hopes of finding her. Jais and Auna went off after turkey, and I haven't seen them since."

His turned his light gaze to the pups and grinned, watching their antics. His muscles tensed and his face took on a peculiar expression that is hard to explain... the kind of mischievious look a cat gets before it pounces on a friend in play. But he held back, knowing his strength could possibly hurt one of them. Still, he would love to play.

Dark Star

The brujo nodded to Snowden, seeming to decide that his explination was satisfactory enough for the moment. He nuzzled Kana in return of her greeting, looking down to the pups with a slight smile. "Hello, love." He responded, looking around to count only three pups. "Where are the others, would you know?" He asked, slightly exasperated by so many disappearances. Suddenly, from behind him, something tiny with sharp teeth playfully grabbed onto his tail.

Lost Star grinned through the tufts of bristly fur, tugging on it gently in play.

Azeros walked up beside Snowden, whapping him in the face with a playful growl for no apparent reason.

Dark Star turned around, batting Lost Star off gently and sending him tumbling a few inches. Lost Star stood up, shaking his fur off, and wagging his tail. Dark Star spoke to the group. "I wish I could stay a while longer, but I am afraid we must go now. Snowden, if you would not mind accompanying me to look for Jais and Auna? Tri-Tundra shall be okay by herself in the meantime." He walked over to the leopard, wating for response.

Kana*Pups

Kana listened and sighed, a bit dissapointed, she had hoped that her love could come with them, it had been such a long time sense they had spent any time together. But she understood, they needed to find Jais and Auna. "I hope you find them." She said with a smile, "The pups and I are going exploring." She said, smiling at her love, "Howl if you need me." With that she turned back to the pups, "Lets go, follow me." With that she padded off towards the Game Trails.

Roselin followed closely beside her mother, tail wagging excitedly.

Viggo followed as well, not really excited about exploring.

Aris stayed back with her other two brothers, "Where where you guys?" She asked.

Snowden

Snowden rumbled playfully, returning a strike of his own to Azeros, and using enough strength so that it might send the pup to the ground. But his paw was so thickly lined with fur that the swipe would of course not hurt; that was not the intention. Again he wanted to pounce, but Dark Star asked for his accompaniment. Grinning at Azeros, he then turned to Dark Star, "Sure, glad to help!"

Dark Star and Pups

Dark Star briefly nodded to Snowden at his response, showing his gratitude in a bleak manner. He nodded to Kana with a soft smile, and sent Lost Star off.

Azeros hung back while his brother eagerly met up with Aris, seeing as he had fallen to the ground after the blow. He stood up, stumbling from wooziness. He gave Snowden a sly look, his deep mustard yellow eyes glinting. "You're good at that." He said in a high puppy voice. He wagged his tail, jumping up to nip at Snowden's ear before racing after his siblings.

Lost Star padded up to his sister, smiling and responding. "In the ivy patches at the hill below the den. It smells reeally bad down there though...." He pointed out, noticing a foul, but faint stench when he was down there.

Azeros blinked for a moment, halting, and then whispering. "We should go and check it out, I bet it is a currrrr-casss..." He said, unsure of how you were really supposed to say 'carcass'.

Kana*Pups

Kana, was thinking of calling the 'field trip' off to go and talk with her mate but decided not to. She had promised the pups they would go exploring and that was what she was going to do, besides, she liked spending time with them.

Aris smiled, "OK! But let's explore with mama first, she might take us out of the packlands!" She said excitedly.

Roselin walked beside her mother, "Mama, what is that cat's name?" She asked.

Kana smiled, "His name is Snowden." Roselin nodded, "Snowden, I like that name!" She said with a smile.

Viggo followed behind them, "Where are we going?" He asked. Kana looked in his direction, "You'll see when we get there."

Snowden

Snowden gave Azeros a toothy grin, happy for the compliment. He gave him a softer bat though when he nipped at his ear. The feline turned to Roselin, "Why, thank you! I should have to learn your names here soon as well.. But for now," his orbs flashed to Dark Star, "I must look for some friends. Where are we looking first? Maybe my mother knows?" he suggested, uncertain.

Dark Star

Dark Star looked to his departing mate, his eyes slowly casting over to Snowden with a much different expression. It was solemn, and slightly grief-ridden, but by far did it look as if he was sad. It looked as if he was somewhat...iffy on approaching Sivinith; but he figured Snowden knew not why.

"Perhaps...but I doubt she would have came in contact with them during the past few days. She has been...in your den, I believe." He stood, bleakly shaking himself off, then adding to his comments.

"All the same, I think it may be...good for you to..." He stopped abruptly, looking up to Snowden with a serious face. Although he did not know exactly what had happened, he was prepared for the worst news...after what he had seen outside the den that one day. "visit."

Snowden

He tilted his head just a bit, expressing some conerned confusion. "Oh, you're probably right. She likes to keep to herself." Snowden gave a small smirk, "She gets agrivated with me more and more. Maybe I should stop mooching of the kills she's made and hunt more for myself. And stop jumping out and surprising her." His grin grew at these thoughts. When he was younger, a careful but powerful slap would send him tumbling away from her when she didn't want to play anymore. But now... he was too big to just bat away, and Sivinith wasn't so inclined to play with him anymore.
