Ageni
Ageni had been at the den site for sometime leaveing in the middle of the get-to-gether. She again felt invisable and left out. So what did she need them for. She figured she may go with her sister. She was unsure. Or stay here with Karai and Sona. She did have friends here, but even though she probly wouldn't be treated so well, she wouldn't be just another face in the crowd at her sister's pack. The small pup sat in silence and her thoughts suddenly shot empty as she no longer would allow herself in think in such a manner. She sat there alone as uaual. Stareing down at the ground at the den entrance.
Jessie
Having spotted another pup, Kali, heading apparently in this direction, Jessie followed. She was still a very young pup and this was her first real 'adventure' away from home. But she had been invited by Misha to the pack, and was perfectly content to stay.
Having lost track of Kali, the light-coated youngster spotted Ageni at the den's enterance. She must be one of the alphas' pups! Jessie thought with glee, recalling Misha speak of the alphas' pups. Being so young, she hadn't really learned a whole lot of wolf etiquette, and was far too excited to really use it anyway. "Hiya!" The pup barked out as she neared Ageni, "I'm Jessie!"
Saxton*Joscelin*Aderyn*Ziarre
Karai's pups came pounding into the den. They had grown a lot, and were really more young adults now than pups, but they were still not above playing with old friends. Spotting Ageni, all four pelted toward her, yipping in excitement, all speaking at once. "Mama says we're to live here!" "This is home then?" "Ageni! I haven't seen you in... almost forever!"
All four bounced about chattering excitedly. Even the usually shy Aderyn was excited, and seemed to be made of rubber as she zoomed around with her siblings.
Jessie
She sat back on her haunches, cocking her little head at the swelter of motion around her. So many wolves! To her, they may as well have been big adults, for she was so small still and had a lot of growing to do. But their boundless energy and merry personalities, as she saw it, were an irrisistable invitation to play. Yipping suddnly, the tan-hued pup sprung up. Her dark golden eyes, marked with a streak of sepia fur along each side, flickered from one wolf to the next. Yipping excitedly, she began to run amongst the group.
Ageni
Ageni turned to hear another pup yip at her. She looked up no longer feeling so invisable. She leapt to her tiny paws with a smile smacked on her lush white pelt. "Allo, I am Ageni. I just moved in... We're's your parents?" She asked her, but to here more voices calling out to her she quickly turned around, her audits perked forth, and her blue puppy orbs spotted others. Spotted more friends. Karai's pups. She could remeber her, Kali, and Akecheta meeting her. The thought of Akecheta filled her mind, and began to ache. His death was still recent and it still lingered deep within her heart along with the loss of her mother and father which the thoughts kept leading to another.
She shook her pelt wildly with a blissful smile, "Allo Everyone!" She exclaimed as joy once again filled her heart.
Kali
Kali made her way to the den site at last for some peace and qute, on the way she had been destracted with a conversation with Shaba who had disapeared to join Sona in a search.
She came to see many pups and she too a step back staren around at all that were here in shock. Her small canines bared and a low growl came from the pit of her heart as it was still filled with darkness.
Saxton*Joscelin*Aderyn*Ziarre
The three older pups continued to bounce around, Saxton smiling and moving to tackle Jessie, giving her only a moment's notice of Hi, I'm Saxton! before leaping for her. Aderyn and Joscelin trotted over to chat with Ageni, smiling and tails waving. "Hi Ageni! Do you live here, too?"
Ziarre, the youngest of the pups, trotted carefully toward Kali. She didn't even know if Kali would remember her: Kali had been badly injured the last time they had met, and Ziarre had grown alot. Still, she came close and whispered, Kali? Sister? She tried the family name, because it seemed to her that Kali was practically a sister.
Kali
Kali growled at Ziarre. She backed away slightly, still bareing her canines. "I'm not your sister" she snapped with anger. Her black pelt became brisk all around, her audits flattened to her cranuim and she backed away.
Ziarre
Apparently Kali did NOT remember. Still, Ziarre was determined to be friendly, though she maintained her distance. Well, practically. I'm Karai's youngest. I think you know Mama. She'll be here in a bit, she just went to tell Moon Spirit's pack that we are coming to live here.
Jessie
"Hiya! I'm Jess--" but then she was tackled and her name was lost in a muffled yip of surprise. Growing playfully and waving her lanky, tan tail behind her, Jessie sprung up and nipped at Saxton's muzzle. "I'll get you for that!" She cried out, but jokingly. She was beyond thrilled now, with so many youngsters running about!
Kali
"Yeah, your mother. Mines down in hell remeber? I know what she's doing, and to say, yes I live here now. Me and my friend Ageni" She said then glanceing over to Jess. "Hey, are you one of them? Are you here to stay?" She asked it a vicous growl.
Jessie
Jessie looked back at Kali, getting a shiver of fear that ran down her spine. She had never heard anyone be so aggressive before, and didn't know how to respond other than pasting her ears back, "Y-yeah. I th-think so." The youngsters stuttered meekly.
Misha
"Oh Jessie, you made it," the huntress cried out in joy, seeing that her little friend had gotten here safely. "How have you been? I'm sorry I didn't greet you, I didn't know where you'd arrive first." Then, noticing the pup's confusion, she asked,"What is the matter?"
Ziarre
Ziarre waved her tail uncertainly, but moved to stand beside the trembling Jessie, speaking rashly and boldly, though her voice maintained her quiet, kind tone. Look Kali, I'm not my mama, and I'm not your mama, and I'm not your sister, really. But my Mama loves you, and I think on some level you love her too, but are just too scared to admit it. This isn't going to work if you're going to gripe at someone every time they're friendly to you. You accepted us once. You were our sister once, in every way that counted. If you're going to stay with Mama, we come with the bargain. And she sighed a little. She was never sure what to do about Kali, really, but for her mother's sake she had to try. I'm not saying that we have to be the best of friends. I'm not saying we have to be friends at all. What DOES have to happen is that we have to come to a peaceful agreement that we can all live according to without wanting to tear each other's throats out. And this way WON'T work. And she went silent, surprised at herself. She had never spoken to Kali in that fashion, nor to anyone, and she had absolutely no idea what Kali would do: anything from attacking her to turning and leaving came to Ziarre's mind. Keeping her silence, she waited to see if Kali had any sense at all. If she did, the older pup would see that it was the only way this would work.
Kali
Kali glared at the trembleing pup, her orbs taken away by a bold tone. She rose up seeing Ziarre stand up to her. She listened to every word. Kali padded up closer to her as she spoke her face in hers emitting a harsh growl of anger. "I don't just accept anyone. I may have liked you then, but more has happened that leaves my mind to think again. No one can just get my trust respect without it you'd best stay clear. You do not have it, and who says I'm stayen here with your mother? Maybe I don't want to. and Karai has you to thank for it. Now, if you want me to show you what it's like to really have me at your throat, I'd be glad to show you!" She snapped lowerung her cranuim just slightly, as she stood in Ziarre's reach she whipped to snag her throat. She wouldn't kill her, but give her a scare.
Ziarre
After a full season of fighting with her sly and relentless brother Saxton, she knew this reaction well. Stepping back and lowering her head to protect her neck, Ziarre rose on hind stilts, pushing off the earth with all the force she could muster, coming to meet Kali.
Karai*Ziarre
Silver mother came pounding in, immediately coming between the two yearlings. Ziarre had been warned about Kali, and not to mess with her, and now Karai was angry with her youngest daughter. Giving a sharp snap at Ziarre, she spoke quietly. Ziarre.Unlike most, the point where Karai went quiet was when she was at her most dangerous. You will apologize to Kali and then go to the Central Pack lands and wait there for me until I come for you. Ziarre hesitated, still angry with Kali and still wanting a fight, and Karai turned and actually snapped at her daughter to emphasize the point. Turning tail, she fled for the packlands.
After watching her daughter go, Karai came up beside Kali, saying nothing, waiting for Kali to speak.
Kali
Kali had pushed herself forth harder, her muscular shoulder into Ziarre's chest, with her comming to meet her it was a sher hit, but to be stopped by Karai. Kali back away. "You" She began. "Stay away from me" She snapped in a vicous snarl turning away and dashing off.
Karai
Karai startled in confusion. Had she done something wrong? Turning, she gave a quick word to her children to stay put, and dashed off after Kali.
