Tala

The large fae hadn't seen any of the pack members for a long time, even their scent was fading from the ground. Sitting in the sun an idea came to her, maybe she could claim this terra as her own and be the alphaess. Taking a deep breath she raised her blue sheened head and let out a deep powerful howl, just incase there were others about.

Kovu.

<>Young pup wpaded over and sat in front of the wolfess. Still young he didn't know much, only that he didn't kno this one and her howl sounded threating, like of take over<> Why are you doing that?<>he cocked his head in innocent questioning<>

Tala

Her howl ended as the young pup came over. Her single deep gold optic look down at him. "I'm claming these pack lands. There doesn't seem to be anyone around. Even the scents are old and fading." Standing up she rasied her ruff and tail, making herself look even larger.

Kovu

<>Pup laid down and glanced up at her<> But...why?<.watche dher puff up and tilted his head to the side<>

Tala

Her single gold eye kept flashing around, making sure that no one else was coming. "I wish I knew why, it's just instinct I guess. Wolves fight for territory quite abit, no one understands it really." She carried on looking around, wanting someone else to step out who she could fight with. But secretly she was glad that the pup seemed to be the only one around. "Anyway, if I claim this territory you are quite welcome to stay."

Kovu

So, if someone else not as nice came here to take over, and i was here...that i wouldn't be aloud to stay?<>He was lost, without a home anyway, laways forced to move<>

Tala

She began to relax, if there was anyone else here they would have come already. Look back down at the pup she said. "If you don't want to stay here, it will be just you and me for awhile." She didn't mention anything about defending territory, she had been born a fighter, her large body being an advantage, but now she was growing older and couldn't be sure if she could keep fighting younger wolves off.

Kovu

<.Glances around nervously, then relaxed a little, relizing that htis wolf was not going to harm him. He then got aplayful idea and made a little playful growl<> i'm going to defend the Territory <> wags his tail<>

Tala

She looked down at him from her great height and laughed gently. "I'm sure you will." A smile spread across her face making her one eye sparkle. Feeling that no one else was around she lay down on the ground, watching the pup carefully.

KOvu

<>Barked widly in excitement and raced around her. He grabbed on to her tail and tugged, about as strongly as a pup could<> C'mon....

Tala

She winced as Kovu's sharp teeth entered her tail, if he had been an adult she would have ripped him to pieces, but she had a weakness for pups so she managed to keep her temper. Smiling at him she said. "Come to where?"

Kovu

<>Grins<> Play with me! I'm defending the TT from you!

Tala

A deep laugh flowed out of her throat as she smiled down at the pup. She hadn't played for a few years now. A strange feeling came through her at the thought of playing with the pup. But a smile spread across her muzzle as she wagged her tail. "Ok, what are you planning on playing?"

Kovu

I'm protecting the TT, duh silly <>Light growl caem from the pups vocals<>

Tala

A laughing growl came from her throat as she looked down at the small pup. "Protecting the territory from what? There's only me and you here." A sudden thought came to mind, now she was an alpha she'd have to think about having pups of her own at some point.

Kovu

From you! I'm the lead alpha male! and your the intruder, so..run...run intruder <>Tails wags exsitedly<>

Tala

She through her head back in laughter, her single eye twinkling. "I'm afraid you're mistaken, these lands are mine and you are the intuder, so you'd better run." She said in a mock threatening voice, lowering her body in preporation to make a playful lunge at the pup.

Kovu

<>Body wiggles with excitement and took off barking. Glances back every so often to make sure that she was following<>

Tala

The large she-wolf bounded after the pup, her heavy muscles keeping her speed down so the pup was just out of her reach
