Kanan

Trotting towards the hill, Kanan lifted his head and gave his brushy tail a wag. He heard there were pups here, and he was eager to see them. Topping the hill, he peered down at the gaping mouth of the den and woofed lightly. His striking blue eyes gazed hopefully into the darkness, wandering if the pups were even in the den, or were they old enough to be wondering about? Probably. But, well, the den seemed the best place to check first.

Saxton*Joscelin*Aderyn*Ziarre*Gavan*Astra

The yearling siblings smelt a newcomer, and bounced forward as though mounted on springs, though the still shy Aderyn hung back just a bit. She was growing bolder, but the large newcomer frightened her just a bit. Joscelin came back to encourage his nervous sister, and she wagged her tail slightly, but still did not move forward.

Saxton immediately bounced up to Kanan, with Ziarre close on his heels. Alternately prancing and chasing his tail, Saxton spoke quickly. Hi there I'm Saxton and these are my siblings, Joscelin, Aderyn, and Ziarre! Hi there, new friend! You look like you're a lot of fun! Let's play, let's play! Saxton was a ver hyper sort, and the sapphire-eyed Ziarre was often infected by his enthusiasm. She too began to bounce around, yipping excitedly.

Gavan also came forward, leading his sister, Astra. They were unrelated to the other four. Gavan was the eldest son of the Alpha, and as such he maintained his dignity at all times. He would become a little silly in play but was always formal otherwise. Both he and Astra came forward, heads held high, dusty tan orbs upon Kanan, inspecting him. Speaking in a puppy-high voice made dignified, he said, Welcome to Ochotona Mountains.

Jessie

The smallest of the gathered group, Jessie bounded forward with them. After a moments hesitation, her small body darted though the masses of excited pups and found its way to Ziarre's side, remembering the yearling sticking up for her. Amid all the older youngsters, Jessie's ears would perk up and down, depending on whether someone looked her way. Her tail was wagging so fast that her back end shook. "I'm Jessie!"

Ageni

Another pup apeared only younger then the others, but older then Jessie. Ageni had just become seven moths old. She had wandered past the pararie with Shaba and saw Karai. "Hey guys we're getting some new fellas. One's two weeks and another four weeks, and the oldest three months. I saw them coming back." She yipped bouncing over to the others so full of blissful energy. She froze to see a member of the pack in the den. She bared her ivory canines to a snarl and growled, "Your not supposed to be here. I was told only us, Karai, Sona, and the alphas are alloud back here. Not you. Get out of here! If Kali comes and sees you your dead!" Ageni had refered to her friend Kali who was well over a year old now. Kali was an evil little demoness.

Gavan

Alpha's oldest spoke up. Now, Ageni, I'm sure he didn't know that he isn't supposed to be back here. Don't scold him so. I'm sure he meant no harm. And, turning to the newcomer, he spoke with authority. But I am afraid that what she says is true. There have been many attempts on the lives of all of us, and so only a few trusted adults are allowed back here. Later when Mama or Papa says we can come out, we can play in the central lands, if you like. He was attempting to gently inform Kanan of the rules, and soothe any hurt feelings.

Ageni

Ageni glanced at Gavan and nodded. zShe turned away from the brute. "After every danger, in the den site theres been in the past, it teaches you not to trust. But soon all will be back to normal" She said her voice powering over them all then she turned away and padded off to go back and take care of a few things with Shaba.

Kanan

Kanan at first grin and nodded to each of the pups, "Thanks, the name's Kanan!" Then he listened to Ageni and his ears went back. Almost timidly at first, he replied, "I can assure you, I mean no harm. Say..." The grin returned to his white-gray muzzle and his eyes sparkled mischeiviuosly like a rambunctious pup, 'Lets go exploring! I can take you guys somewhere fun.... what do you say?" It probably wasn't a very good idea, all considering what the pups told him, but Kanan didn't think about the consiquences at the moment. He was just eager for some fun. And that's what had gotten him into trouble in the past as a pup.

Saxton*Joscelin*Aderyn*Ziarre*Gavan*Astra

Saxton and Ziarre immediately began to bounce about, hearing the word "explore", but Gavan stopped them with a look. Though Gavan was three months younger than both yearlings, he was the alphas' eldest, and the others usually listened to him. Believe me when I say that we would like to, but I don't know that Mama would approve. We aren't really supposed to leave the den until she says so... And he faded out, for he did truly want to go, but he was an obedient son.

Joscelin, Aderyn, and Astra simply waited. They were not intentionally mischeivious, but would go along with whatever happened. If they ended up exploring, all three would tag along.

Kanan

The wolf tilted his head to the side, "Aw, come on! You sound like my brother and sister." Kanan grinned broadly, thinking of Kouji and Umay. He longed to see them again, but didn't know that Umay had been killed by Legosa or that Kouji was most likely dead as well. His blue eyes roved about the group and settled on Saxton and Ziarre, "You, don't you two want ta come with me? I promise, it'll be fun!" he enticed, his tail beginning to wag. Well, he wasn't much on 'listening to rules'.
