Gamble

This is new. Gamble knew he shouldn't be wondering about way on the other edge of the Valley, but instincts and a touch of an adventurous side had spurred him away from Rayne's splinter pack for now. He wasn't abandoning them, really... but he needed a bit of 'fresh air' and some time away from the pack. 'A nice change of pace - oooh, is that the sea I smell? Must be pretty close to the ocean.' Gamble stopped abruptly when his muzzle, almost awkwardly long on an otherwise husky-looking body, hit a blatant scent mark. He was about to cross into another's territory. Blue eyes shot upwards and cast about suspiciously. Should he dare...? Oh hell, why not?

The gray and white hybrid, who had a set of tall ears to accent his long muzzle, stepped over the invisible boundary and entered the territory.

=Paltisha

Sure her pack wasn't small but Azin had dissapeared probably past on so now Pal was alone again. Her mother, father, brother and sisters dead. Sure her siblings had kids running around but Paltisha had distant herself from her family not wanting to deal with the war. She had first joined her relative Tyrant or what ever his name was. Then he vanished and she and Azin had taken over and now she was alone beside her own pack. She was getting up there in age too. She was 10 years old and still going. She yawned as she took a nap. She then smelt someone unfamilar. She proceeded toward the scent nd her fur raised and her tail was still above her back when she noticed he had crossed the boarder.Stop! Who are you and what is it you want?She was also comingi nto her next heat cycle but that didn't bother her.

Gamble

Before he heard her voice or saw her, the hybrid smelled her. For the first time in his young life, he felt a strange longing - that of wanted to be in a family, and be a part of something bigger. Gamble shook his head and snorted, 'What are I thinking? I'm just out for a bit of fun and exploring, lets not get to far ahead here...' He tried to reason with himself, but the feeling remained, and then grew stronger when Palitisha came into view.

Gamble froze, his blue eyes going wide. He could be cocky sometimes, but he wasn't overly arrogant. "Uhh... hey." The hybrid bobbed his head down, but didn't quite submit just yet, "Name's Gamble, and I was just exploring. You uh, you own this place?"

Paltisha

Paltisha watched him for any signs of trouble. The older wolf watched him with keen eyes. Her tail flicked.I am Paltisha and Yes I own these landsShe spoke calmly.

Gamble

Because she didn't show any immediate aggression or signs of imminent attack, Gamble was happy to keep an attentive posture and not lower himself down. "Palitisha? Pretty name, I like it." A sly little grin backed up his flirty, if not rather abrupt words. "You all by your lonesome here?" What are you doing?! Stop flirting with her...! The voice in his head contradicted him, but he quickly and easily squashed that.

Paltisha

She listened to him and just stared at him slightly relaxing but keeping alert and ready.No, some of my family lives here as wellShe spoke softly.

Gamble

This was actually going better than usual. He had the habit of flirting with those in Rayne's pack, but it was never anything serious, and he'd always been rebuffed as quickly as he made an advance. So it was a nice change of pace to see this fae actually relaxing a little, both in tone and in posture. With his confidence boosted, Gamble let his grin transform more into a smile, "Family, huh?" Does family mean pups of her own? No, no... maybe just brothers and sisters... besides, she hasn't rejected me yet. She would have done that by now, if she had a mate, right? Trying his luck, Gamble went on, "I don't suppose you have room for another member, do you?" To make himself more appealing as a potential member, Gamble raised himself up, expanding his ruff subtly.

Paltisha

Oh pal had her own pups but they were all grown up now and her mate was gone so she was a free women. She weatched him carefully and then looked him over.we always have room for more members though i do have to ask do you have any enemies? and Allies?She spoke.

Gamble

An invitation! Gamble's tail swayed slowly, "Not really, no. I grew up in a small pack, out that way." He nodded vaguely behind him, giving no real indication where he'd grown up, and lying just a bit about having no allies or enemies. He was pretty sure the Haunters might be a little against them after their defection, and certainly the Lurkers and Guardians were their enemies, but he wasn't going to spoil his chances with this female by saying all of that.

Paltisha

She listened to him.Then welcome to the packShe spoke. She lifted her muzzle and called to her pack.As each came up she introduced them.This is my beta Suicide TrinketShe spoke. Trinket was one of her oldest daughters.Those are her kidsHer kids were actually a year old now but were behind her still. She introduced the rest as well

Gamble

For a few moments, his spirits deflated again. Kids. So she did have a mate... Gamble remained respectfully poised however, nodding to each of them, and giving his name in return once all was said and done with. And once he realized that she had never introduced anyone as her mate, the hope came back to him, as did a the little smile across his mug, "I have to say, what a nice family. It must be pretty hard leading them on your own, and all..."

Paltisha

She smiled slightly.Well i've only been leading them alone for maybe a year nowShe spoke softly. Her tail flicked.

Suicide listened to her mother speak.Mother imma take the pups on their first hunt ill be back laterShe spoke andl ed her year old pups off.

Gamble

Ah... so she didn't have a mate. Tactfulness and formality begged to be used, and for a few moments at least, he managed to be more respectful and polite while her children and the rest of the pack were around. But after Suicide had offered to take the yearlings off for a hunt, Gamble couldn't help but step forward and return to his earlier abruptness, "How would you like someone to help you out around here?" Gamble wasn't the smoothest talker around, "A mate, even?"

Paltisha

Pal listened to him and wasn't sure about him. He was new and already seemed to want her mate postion. Her tail flicked as she studied him.That would be niceShe managed to say though still unsure.

Gamble

Not meeting a instant decline, Gamble was all too happy to continue on with his advances, plowing forward into uncharted territories, "So, tell me a little about yourself. Palitisha... that name sounds really familiar. I know I've heard it before."

Paltisha

Pal sat down and licked her paw cleaning her face as he spoke on.I was named after a Dead Aunt from my fathers side. Palatina i believe was her name. She was killed as a pup by the Shadow HauntersShe spoke softly.BUt i do not wish to get into talking about them, They destroyed my familyShe spoke looking into the distance.
