Sweetclover & Family

At three and a half years old, Sweetclover was reaching her prime, and still had plenty of years ahead of her. With her head held high, the wolfmix strode into the lands with an aura that exuded confidence and humble pride, while her siblings and offspring trailed along after her in a wave of different colors. Trotting dutifully at her side was Taiser, carrying but a small limp from his run-in with a bullet two years ago, but otherwise just as spry and healthy as Sweet was.

Of the original litter, only the massive Mandragoro and his slighter sister Valcane still followed their parents. Harbringer had found herself a mate in the name of Jais, now part of the Ankhian Lurkers pack, though she was still very close with her siblings. Aside from these two, the newest litter - a group of four females almost a year old now - trotted along behind their elder siblings. From Aakasi, Clover, Laportas, to Snowflake, all four sisters had white fur and remarkably similar builds.

Behind all of them traveled Ravenshou and Phelan, the two offspring of Aaka and Legosa that were among the more timid.

Reincarnation

She came from behind the small group, her bright yellow eyes taking them all in slowly. Upon seeing Sweetclover, Aaka's half of rein seemed to go soft and gentle, a first for Rein. Then her eyes traveled to Ravenshou and Phelan. My babies... Aaka whispered to Rein. Rein felt her own heart melting just a bit. It was obvious that Aaka had loved her children. May I help you with something? Rein asked softly. Idiot. They're my children. don't be so formal with them. Hissed Aaka. Rein chose to ignore her. Let me out. Aaka persisted. No, Aaka. I don't like putting you in control. Bad things happen. Replied Reincarnation in turn. I promise to be good. Pouted Aaka. rein knew better. Aaka's defintion of being good and her own were two different things.

Valcane was first the hear the other wolfess padding along behind them, and with a backwards flick of one chocolaty ear, she alerted the others. The group stopped and turned as a whole, with Sweetclover and Taiser stepping forward. Sweet had parted her jaws to speak, and promptly found her words caught in the back of her throat - this wolfess bore an astonishing ressemblance to her dear mother... and that voice, it was so familiar - but ever practical, the hybrid put aside these notions to dip her head formally and greet the other in a pleasant manner. "We're sorry for intruding on your land; we were actually hoping to join your pack."

"This was our old home." Slinking up beside his sister, ears back and tail half tucked between his legs, the lowly Phelan added his voice to Sweetclover's efforts.

Rein

Rein felt Aaka soften even more and she gave a sweet smile to Phelan. I know... Then her eyes were back on Sweetclovers. You may all stay as long as you'd like. When her eyes wandered to the younger wolves, she murmered softly What are their names, Sweetclover? They're so beautiful. Her tail was waving and she could feel Aaka trembling inside of her to leap upon her family and shower them with love but she figured that would freak out the family.

The look from the Rein made Phelan both uneasy and... strangely drawn towards her. Confused, he smiled shyly and took a few steps back, keeping his small frame very near to Sweetclover, where he felt safe and protected.

Confused as Sweetclover was, the level-headed hybrid put formalities first and spoke in clarity, "Thank you. This is Aakasi, Clover, Laportas, and Snowflake." She introduced the newest litter first; though they were close to yearlings now, having been born last summer. Next she nodded to her older son, "Mandragoro-", and finally to an adolescent that wasn't hers, "-and this is Tar."

Rein

Her head tilted to the side and she gave the faintest of smiles. You named one after your mother, and your sister? That is sweet of you, Sweetclover. Her tailed waved slightly, eyes still on her 'grandbabies'. So what if they we're -technically- hers. Aaka was a part of her, so therefore the adolescents were hers. So ha! Deal with that fate!

August

August was near when he heard a voice. He recognized Reincarnation, but not the other. From the smell she could tell that their were many near. Among him was Skif, Sylena, Renya, and Tanya. The others were off somewhere in the terra. They appeared quietly near Rein watching the other lupines with welcoming eyes. From Rein's stance they could tell the others meant no harm. "Greetins,"August spoke to both the newcommers and Rein.
