Vivek

The tan and gray-toned male padded cautiously into the cadre, letting his honey tinted eyes roam about over the landscape. It smelled kind of like his old home, except the newly emerging flowers gave it a unique scent. And then, of course, there was the pack scent. He could smell the one dubbed White Eclipse, and Aava.

Vivek stopped not too far into the territory and gave a loud howl, trying to attracked attention. He wanted to be accepted into this pack. And being the son of an alpha, he certainly didn't want the omega position.

Aava

Aava was at her den sleeping when the howl startled her. She had come to see what was going on. She was running quickly but stopped dead in her tracks when she seen Vivek. Low growls emitted from her throat as she thought. Then she remembered the wolf she had met at Croal Mountains. She stopped growling and peacefully padded to him. She stopped and sat nearby.
"I see you have come for acceptance? I have been thinking it over a bit, and I believe you would go well with Subordinate, if it's alright with you that is." She then remembered about striking the humans today. She would, too, when she was done talking with Vivek. She could possibly let him be alpha.

Vivek

He dipped his head down repectably to his new alpha, "Thank you, Aava." he said with sincere gratitude. He had been careful to watch her movement when she first responded to him and had lowered his body in submittance to her authority. "As long as I have a home, being a subordinate is fine with me." Truthfully, he desired to be alpha like his father Tonado and grandfather Peregrine. Unfortunately, neither were alphas anymore, and he was regretful that he hadn't spoken with them in a while.

Aava

Aava dipped her head slightly. It would be good to have more pack members.
"You could be the alpha... I have been looking for a mate since I don't know when. I have been searching. We did just meet, though. I get along with new friends a lot though... Hmm."
She shook her head. She never liked to talk about that much, but would make an acception this time. She did always dearly want pups, and a big pack. She was kinda new to this land but already had things pretty much in shape. She howled quietly, but enough for anybody near to hear clearly. She waited. She would accept just about anybody nice to be her mate. Her soul was usually rashy, and mean and cold-hearted. Her eyes and killing shown it. Cold, deep brown eyes and a bloody maw was what she had.

Vivek

His expression turned to one of slight surprise and joy, not expecting the offer from Aava, but readily welcoming it. Vivek's head came up more and he gave a smile, "I would love too." To show his sincerity about it, he moved closer and nuzzled her maw. It was a bold move, but he hoped it would show that he was ready for any responsibility.

Aava

"Great!"
Her expression was alive with joy as she stood there. She felt like hopping about, but that wasn't exactly her nature. She knew that this day would come. She finally found a mate, and another special pack alpha. She would cherish this moment forever.
"Okay. Hmmm. One of the caches I burried yesterday was dug up from a Wedge-Tailed eagle. I could sense and smell it."
She nuzzled him back.

Vivek

He nearly pranced his front feet, something he tended to do when he was really happy or excited about something as a pup. But he held back and instead let his eyes portray this feeling. Another thought came to mind now, one which he was sure would seal their bond. Pups. It was rather soon to ask, he thought, but would could it hurt to just ask?

"Aava..." he started, trying to hide the rush of nervousness that came to him, "..would you, like to have... pups?" He shook his head then, "I mean, if it's too soon... that's fine, we can wait." he gave a lopsided smile.

Aava

Aava was quiet surprised at his question. She was indeed excited. She had always wanted pups, almost ever since she was a tiny pup herself. She wagged her bushy white tail and flopped one ear.
"Heh, it's completely fine with me!"
Her tone was now warm and excited. Her tone never was warm, it was always cold. Her brown eyes seemed to light up. No longer would she be lonely, especially when she would have pups bouncing around.

Vivek

He nuzzled her now, releived that she had accepted his question and that he hadn't gone too far by asking it. "Just think; little Aava's and Vivek's running around." he grinned at the thought. But... they needed a stronger pack still. One that could help support the new life.

Aava

Aava still looked happy, but she glanced around at the thought of a stronger pack. It would be a long while to get more pack members.
"When should we go to the breeding grounds?"
She awaited for his answer.

Vivek

He gave a nod after glancing around. He could ask his grandfather a favor in helping to get more pack members. And perhaps his own father could join the pack, since he lost his old territory at the Parnassain Meadows. "We could go right now, if you like." he replied, not wanting to rush her if she didn't want too.

Aava

She tried to smile, but she didn't have the mouth of those humans. She nodded quickly.
"We can go now." Her voice was excited. She tried to calm herself a bit, but her tail started thumping the hard ground.
"Come on!"
Her voice wasn't mean or harsh, it was happy and truthful. She always did want pups. With more animals, and spring, the pups would have a good head start.
