Redmoon

Gauge- f- 3 y 3 mo- Fighter- bi- mate: Blaze- Niko/Kizo and Kioku- brought Azure to pack- Tags: River, Akiro, Hyuuga, Willow

The black phase she wolf nodded as she looked at the younger she wolf. She said “We sure are,” and offered her a wolf smile. She then glanced to Akiro, as he questioned the she wolf. This one was young, younger even than Akiro himself. She seemed to be just a bit older than Niko himself was. She was hit by a pant of something…thinking of her former (adopted) pup. She shook her head a bit, then looked to Hyuuga. He was saying the she wolf had kept him alive, so she nodded at him.

She said “It’s good to have you back, Hyuuga.” She then looked to the she wolf that had come with him, and she studied her a moment. She nodded at her, saying “Thank you for helping him, Willow.” Before looking to the others then saying “I think we can head back now, get these two back to camp.”

Akiro- m- 2 y 3 mo- Fighter- homosexual- crush: Castor maybe, definitely Koll- Tags: Gauge, River, Hyuuga, Willow

The reddish looking male twitched darker ears. His darker tipped tail flicked, and he nodded at the other young she wolf. He said “I usually wouldn’t trust one from Starlight…but he’s injured. He can’t really do anything to us right now, unless he’s faking it. The way he was curled up and the sound of his breathing…tells me he isn’t faking it though. He looked pretty worse for wear.” He then glanced to the young she wolf and the fellow pack mate. He nodded as he looked at the both of them.

Offering a bit of a smile, he nodded and said “I’m glad to see you’re okay, Hyuuga.” Turning to Willow, he said “Thanks for looking out for him.” He then turned his attention to the other two. Nodding at Gauge when she said they could head back now.

Azure- m- 7 mo- pup- likes boys- crush: Eros- Tags: Kizo, Kioku

The blue-gray pup and white pup adding actually know Eros was from this pack…He hadn’t really seen him before the avalanche. He’d been brought to this pack before the avalanche. He hadn’t actually seen Eros, though, so he didn’t know to tell them. He was sure he’d never seen him at Starlight, though…He said “I don’t think I saw that male pup at the other pack, so maybe he’s from your pack. Not that I really saw many of the wolves there…I was only there for a bit before wandering off,” he sighed.

Starlight

Yuui- m- 9 mo- pup- boys- crush: Eros- Tags: Goliath

The pretty but still handsome male blinked his blue and brown eyes. He nodded as he looked at the bigger male, and went with him. As they reached the training grounds, he looked around. He said “There’s so many things to be, such as healer or beta. It would definitely be cool to be beta one day. I mean, I feel like I should get some training in every area, just in case. Having hunting and fighting skills would be good if I want to be beta in the future. Though that would be a long way off…”

Kuroyuki- m, f at times- 2 y 9 mo- hunter- crush: Mikage, Ermin- Tags: Ermin, Yomi, Kuroi, Kiyu

The black phase one flicked their white tipped tail back and forth. Ears twitched and perked as he said “We should definitely get this elk back. Cypher said only to try for one, since he already caught that other one. We could come back after though. If any of you are wanting to hunt anything else, like rabbits.”

(For Kiyu)

He nodded as he looked at Ermin and the two younger she wolves. One a full fledged fighter now, the other still being trained. Yomi was being trained as a hunter, and he was glad for that. He was glad she’d wanted to be a hunter rather than a fighter. Not that it was bad to be a fighter, but they needed hunters. Shaking that away, he said “Kuroi…yes, you can help Kiyu carry it. Ermin…you and I will carry it as well.” He then glanced to Yomi, nodding and saying “Yeah, we can go out and get some rabbits later.”

Miracle- f- 1 y 3 mo- healer- crush: Yomi- Tags: Scythe, Yuui

The golden-cream slender and slightly smaller female stared at the river…Shaking her head, she watched the curious fish that swam up. She ducked her muzzle into the water, but missed…Shaking her head, she lifted her muzzle, dripping wet, from the water. She waited for the scattered fish to come back. She didn’t move, and soon they’d returned to check her out. She ducked her head again, and managed to catch a fish this time. She threw it onto the bank and took care of it, then sighed.

Kane
Redmoon Hunter | Crush: Labrador | Tags: Castor, Labrador, Koll

His eyes were locked onto Castor, waiting for him to give the signal. His breathing was almost silent as his claws dug into the ground waiting in anticipation. His ears straightened as the signal was given, his head snapping around to see Labrador going in and getting a grip on the unsuspecting deer. He will definitely weight it down.but despite its young age, the deer’s legs were strong. Legs…
He rushed out form the bushes,
“Koll! It’s not running away from the ambush! Get in here and grab a leg!” He shouted, focusing back to the deer as he saw his fluffy brother rushing over. He rushed towards the deer and slid on the ground slightly to latch his jaws on the front left ankle of the deer. “Hang on Lab!” He grunted through a mouthful of deer leg.


Koll
Redmoon Hunter | Crush: Uncertain | Tags: Kane, Labrador, Castor

Koll snapped into action immediately as he was summoned to help. Kane was right, this deer was not suspecting a thing and Labrador was perfectly on time with the ambush. He rushed over, his small legs making acceleration effortless, as a the white fluffball zoomed over. He didn’t even slow down as he crashed into deer’s front right leg, trying to make it fall over. But even with his full force, the deer didn’t fall over but got heavily stunned.
“Castor, the neck is exposed!” He called out to the leader.


Goliath
Starlight Warrior | Crush: Open | Tags: Yuui

Goliath stopped and sat down as they reached the grounds, listening to the youngster talk about his future rank for the pack. He chuckled and shook his thick black fur,
“It will always make me smile, hearing the new wolves of the pack think of everything and of everyone” He commented as he looked around the area.
“It gives me…hope. A chance for calm…peace.” He explained then looked down at his paws.
“My best advice I can give you, find something that you are good at and make it even better. Improve not just yourself, but that role overall. But being beta isn’t ‘cool’. It’s an important responsibility…you’re a role model for the pack, especially when the leader isn’t around…” He told him then sighed.
“I have a feeling you didn’t want to come out to be lectured, would you like to practice duelling?”

Starlight Pack |Female | Luna |4 years | crush: open | tags: Cypher
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Destiny’s tail wagged at Cypher’s response, her silver fur shimmering with the motion. She couldn’t help but smile as she listened to him speak, picturing him as a healer. Despite his usual fiery, action-driven nature, she could see it. His kind heart and sense of responsibility would’ve made him a wonderful one. “I could’ve seen you being a wonderful healer,” she mused with a nod, her voice sincere. “You’ve got that calm, steady presence to you that would’ve made you great at it.” She gave him a playful glance, her smile widening. “But I agree—you're a natural leader, Cypher. It’s obvious in the way you speak and carry yourself. That command you have? It can’t be denied.”

Her gaze softened as she looked at him, genuinely appreciating his honesty in sharing his thoughts. It wasn’t easy to open up like that, especially with someone as sharp as Cypher. She admired that, and she wasn’t shy about giving him credit where it was due.
His chuckle about not being able to sit still to heal made her laugh too.

When his question turned toward her, Destiny tilted her head thoughtfully. She had always felt she was a bit of an open book, but there were some stories she only shared with certain wolves, and this was one of them. “If I hadn’t become Alpha…” She hummed, her gaze turning distant for a moment, thinking back to her younger days. “I’d probably still be out there hunting with the rest of the pack. I’ve always loved the chase, the thrill of the hunt. It’s in my blood.”

Her ears flicked as she leaned in closer, her eyes gleaming mischievously. “But as for something no one knows about me… Well, I try to be open, but there is this one thing.” She let out a soft laugh, eyes twinkling. “Back when I was younger, I used to sneak off and explore the pack boundaries. You know, just had to see what was out there.” She grinned at the memory, knowing what a mess it had caused. “One time, I actually made it all the way across the pack lines—completely unnoticed. I got into so much trouble for that. If anyone asks, I’ll still deny it though!” She laughed openly now, shaking her head at the memory of her younger self causing chaos.

Her playful smile lingered as she gave Cypher a sly look. “I may have been a little bit of a troublemaker back then. But hey, it made life interesting, right?” With a wink, she flicked her tail and began to walk away, her pace leisurely. “But I’ll let you think about that secret for a while. Maybe you’ll get another one out of me eventually-besides, I have lots” Her voice carried a teasing lilt as she glanced back over her shoulder. “But for now, It's your turn to ask a question." she commented. Tail wagging with excitement. It was nice to have a change of pace from being completely serious. Destiny could relax around Cypher- and she really liked that. He was the first wolf she was able to open up with almost as much as she had with Dante.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Risen exhaled softly hearing Rhea explain his biggest worry wasn't one too dire. It was nice she understood where he was coming from, and better to know that things wouldn't be as scary as he assumed. She was very wise, and he appreciated her feedback as well as her honesty. He offered another tail wag, showing added comfort with her. His shoulders rising in almost a laugh when she mentioned communication being hard when he can't say as much as he would like.

He carefully watched as Rhea turned upside down, amused at the Omega and appreciative as she made hard conversations not so scary. He laid down in front of her slowly, showing his commitment to their conversation - mainly one vocal conversation but none of the less, his first real time in ages having someone he could kind of communicate with. Flicking an ear at her question, Risen took a deep breath. He shook his head as a no. It hadn't always been this way, he used to be a decent speaker. He actually never stopped talking. Until he was the reason his parents were killed, shaking his head to rid the memory. Risen shamefully looked at his paws. " No- not always." he choked out flattening his ears against his head. "My P-Parents. I-it was M-My Fault" he pieced together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Blaze's eyes flicked between her and the reunited pair of Narae and Eros. He couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief at seeing them together, though his softened expression remained calm and watchful .His gaze softened as he observed Narae, still caught in her excitement, and Eros, the quiet strength of the group. It was clear that the young wolves had a bond that ran deep, and he was glad they’d all made it back.

When Nova teased him about calling her Luna, he let out a low chuckle, "Guess I’ve got a habit of showing respect where it's due," Blaze replied, his deep voice carrying warmth beneath the formality. "But you’re right, You’ll always be Nova to me." he replied with a hint of fondness in his voice.

When she mentioned that Narae and Eros would be heading to Koa for a check-up, Blaze's eyes followed them for a moment before his focus returned to Nova. He could see it in her expression—she was thinking, as always. He understood her well enough to know she wasn’t certain either, but sometimes, uncertainty was part of leadership.

"If you need a moment to breathe, Nova, I can stay back and give you space," Blaze offered, his voice quieter now, the playful tone slipping away. "But if you're ready to speak, I’ve got time. The patrols are already out and I'll circle back later to do an evening sweep." He added with his gaze softening, understanding that there were always layers to what the Luna needed to discuss, layers that went beyond the concerns of the pack.

Blaze’s posture remained relaxed, but his eyes, ever the sharp ones, never left her for too long. There were questions in the air—unspoken, yet ever-present. He wasn’t sure where the conversation would lead, but he’d always follow her lead.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

River stood a little further back from the group, her ears flicking at the exchange. She could see the tension in the air, especially around Hyuuga and Willow. There was an air of caution, but also an understanding that they’d all survived something difficult. The avalanche took many from them, and it was a blessing to have some pack members return. River’s eyes softened as she noticed Hyuuga’s discomfort. She could tell that even though the pack had accepted him back, there was a certain wariness lingering in his posture. She offered a small tail wag, hopeful it would bring some comfort.

When the conversation turned to Willow’s role in saving Hyuuga, River nodded and offered a respectful glance toward Gauge. She wasn’t one for words when it came to these kinds of situations, she had always been taught to not interject herself into conversations such as these.

“I’m River” she said calmly, her voice carrying a note of warmth but no urgency. Her amber eyes shifted between Hyuuga and Willow, taking in their expressions. “Thank you for helping him, Willow. The bond you’ve formed with him... it’s something we respect.” She paused, her tail giving a gentle flick of reassurance.

Turning her attention back to the rest of the group, River spoke to Gauge. “I agree. We should head back before dark. There’s still a lot to do, and Hyuuga and Willow need to rest as well as be seen by Koa.” She kept her tone neutral but cautious.

Nova
[ Rank ] Redmoon Luna [ Age ] 3 Years Old [ Crush ] Open [ Tag ] Blaze, Eros, and Narae

The small banter between the two brought Nova a small sense of relief. "I can understand that." she agreed with him. It wasn't about being impersonal, more of being respectful. "I think when Liberty was still around, I referred to him as Alpha instead of his name." she noted aloud.

When the pups finally rounded off towards the healer's den, her gaze also followed behind them. She truly was happy to see Eros was home and the others welcomed him back with ease. Despite who originally began to raise him, no one treated him poorly.

At Blaze's offer for her to take a breather, Nova chuckled. "A member of leadership and break don't belong in the same sentence." It was just a joke, but sometimes it felt like her duties as the Luna never ended. Whenever someone new appeared, they needed her. When an old member returned, they needed her. If something bad were going down on the border, they needed her. Regardless of what was happening, the pack always needed her. This time around though, she did not need a break as they day was very smooth sailing.

"I think now would be the best opportunity. Ghost isn't far and should be able to watch the pack from Koa's den." she plainly stated before motioning for Blaze to follow suit. Her paws crunched in the snow beneath her, leaving a path in her direction. "I'm going to speak with Destiny as soon as Dante recovers." she began. Dante's stumbling arrival could not have happened at a better time than now. "He's our missing piece for a good treaty between the two. It'll help wash away any bad blood Liberty left behind." she added. For a moment she allowed the silence to fill, hoping that he would interject with an opinion. While Blaze was simply the Lead Fighter, she still saw him as a part of her council. To keep within an earshot , Nova paused just outside of the den area. That way she could still hear if anyone howled for her. She relaxed her stance and graced the ground with her bottom. The tip of her ears flopped over and she felt like the air was a little more clear now.

The crew stood for a while discussing what to do next. From what Kiyu gathered, it would be best to return the elk to the pack. She glanced over at Yomi, "If you're up to it, we can come back out here together." she offered the young fae. While they did grow up together, she did not get to spend as much time with Yomi as she wanted. Outside of their daily hunter training and the little time spent together with Kuroi, she didn't know her that well.

"Lets get this thing back to camp then!" Kiyu wolfed to the others. She scanned over the prey, now still beneath their paws. In a sense proud of them all for taking it down without any injuries. Brown eyes gave their attention to Kuroyuki awaiting for the next command. "Alright temporary leader, how do we go about getting this elk back?" she asked.

The black phase she wolf shook her head a bit, then looked to Hyuuga. He was saying the she wolf had kept him alive, so she nodded at him. She said “It’s good to have you back, Hyuuga.” She then looked to the she wolf that had come with him, and she studied her a moment. She nodded at her, saying “Thank you for helping him, Willow.” Before looking to the others then saying “I think we can head back now, get these two back to camp.”

(For Queen)

She nodded as she looked over at River and Akiro again. She said “Yeah…let’s head back then,” and smiled a bit. She was glad they’d found a pack mate, and also a new wolf. Clearly the young she wolf was looking to join their pack, or so she hoped. She looked Hyuuga over, seeing if he had any injuries. Nodding to herself, she then turned with a flick of her tail. She began to lead the way back, and looked back every so often. Making sure Hyuuga and Willow were following, though she was sure they would.

Offering a bit of a smile, he nodded and said “I’m glad to see you’re okay, Hyuuga.” Turning to Willow, he said “Thanks for looking out for him.”

He then looked to the other two wolves, and nodded at them both. River brought up a good point, they’d need to have Koa check the two. He flicked his tail back and forth as he looked to the two she wolves. He then turned his attention to Hyuuga and Willow a moment. He offered a canine smile towards the two of them. He then turned back to Gauge. She began to lead the way back, so he moved to follow her and River. He noticed how she looked back at Hyuuga and Willow every once in awhile.

The blue-gray pup and white pup adding actually know Eros was from this pack…He hadn’t really seen him before the avalanche. He’d been brought to this pack before the avalanche. He hadn’t actually seen Eros, though, so he didn’t know to tell them. He was sure he’d never seen him at Starlight, though…He said “I don’t think I saw that male pup at the other pack, so maybe he’s from your pack. Not that I really saw many of the wolves there…I was only there for a bit before wandering off,” he sighed.

The pretty but still handsome male blinked his blue and brown eyes. He tilted his head as the other wolf sat down then. He twitched his ears, then perked them as he looked at the other. Watching him shake out his fur, then listening to him now speak. He wagged his tail a little, saying “I’m glad we can give you hope.” He looked around a moment, then back to the other. He lifted his muzzle to the air, and sniffed a bit. He then shook his head, and turned his attention back to the other. “I mean, it is cool…because others look up to you and stuff. Not as much as they look up to the alpha wolf, of course.” He then was glad for the change of subject, and nodded at the other. He said “of course, of course I’d like to practice dueling.”

He said “You, Yomi, and Ermin can each grab a leg. Kuroi wants to help, so…she can grab the last leg and I’ll support the head. That or I can help with lifting it by the legs, and she can hold the head up for us.” He wanted to let Kuroi have the choice. Even if she was a warrior and not one of the hunters.

She didn’t move, and soon they’d returned to check her out. She ducked her head again, and managed to catch a fish this time. She threw it onto the bank and took care of it, then sighed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Blaze watched as Nova moved with a calm, steady confidence, however her words about leadership and breaks made him smile softly. "Sounds like you're always on the clock," he commented, his voice low but laced with a hint of dry humor. [/color]

When she mentioned Destiny and Dante, Blaze’s eyes narrowed slightly in thought. He wasn’t one to be overly political, but the importance of the treaty wasn’t lost on him. The tension that had lingered since Liberty's reign was palpable, and anything that could heal those old wounds was worth supporting. He offered a quiet grunt of agreement, though he wondered if Dante had anterior motives for assisting Eros in his return.

"Having Dante back should help ease things," Blaze said, his gaze flicking to the den entrance where the pups had disappeared. "A fresh start, no matter how hard-fought, always comes with its own challenges... but it’s better than staying stuck in the past." He added. Before looking over towards the medic den once more "Hopefully Destiny sees it the same way. We cannot forget Liberty tried setting the Starlight pack to fail."

Blaze paused beside Nova, his posture still and focused. His ears pricked forward, listening for any disturbances, but the quiet was thick with unspoken understanding. Even when he wasn’t speaking, he was constantly aware of the pack’s needs. "You know," Blaze said after a moment, turning to her with a thoughtful expression, "it’s not just the treaty with Destiny you need to think about. The pack’s been through a lot lately. There’s more than just words to mend wounds. Maybe we’ll need to show them what unity looks like." A faint hint of a challenge flickered in his amber eyes. He wasn’t pushing her, but the idea lingered between them like a spark, ready to ignite when the time came.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

River observed the quiet exchange of words, her amber eyes flicking between the group. She was used to the unspoken dynamics of the pack, the way tension could ebb and flow with each movement and word. Today, she could feel it lingering, especially around Hyuuga and Willow. There was something raw about their reunion, and River could sense the weight they each carried.

As she watched Hyuuga’s discomfort, she gave a subtle but warm tail wag, hoping to offer a quiet moment of comfort. She understood what it was like to feel like an outsider, to return to a pack that had been changed in your absence. Hyuuga wasn’t the only one who’d felt that way after the avalanche, and River hoped he would find his place in time, just as she had.

When the conversation turned to Willow’s role in saving Hyuuga, River nodded thoughtfully. She wasn’t one for grand speeches or over-explanation. She preferred to keep things simple, honest. “I’m River,” she said calmly, her voice warm but not rushed. Her gaze softened as she looked at Willow, offering a quiet nod. “Thank you for helping him. The bond you’ve formed with him… it’s something we respect.” Her tail gave a small, encouraging flick, a subtle gesture meant to convey her understanding and appreciation.

River shifted her focus to Gauge, who had mentioned heading back before nightfall. River agreed wholeheartedly. The journey back wasn’t far, but the daylight was slipping away, and there was always the chance of dangers lurking in the shadows. She didn’t want to risk anything, especially not after everything they’d been through. “I agree,” River spoke, her tone neutral but grounded. “We should head back before dark. There’s still a lot to do, and Hyuuga and Willow need rest, as well as a visit to Koa.”

She gave one last glance to Hyuuga, offering him a gentle smile. “It’s good to have you back, Hyuuga,” she said, her voice steady and sincere. River then looked to Willow, noting how she still seemed a little distant, as if waiting for something. River could relate to that feeling, but she hoped it wouldn’t last long for Willow. She had saved Hyuuga, after all, and that alone had earned her a place among them.

"Let's get back to camp," River added with a final glance toward the others, her tail flicking once more in the direction of the path home. She didn't need to say much more. The journey would speak for itself. With a nod toward Gauge and Akiro, she began to move, her pace steady but unhurried. She was focused on the way ahead but kept an ear out for the rest of the group, making sure Hyuuga and Willow were following closely behind. She hadn't been one to ever necessarily take charge, however being the outsider of the patrol assisted her in this case. Maybe she would be able to muster the courage to talk to Castor about how the hunters made her feel useless.

There was something comforting about the quiet of the patrol now, and she knew they'd all need that comfort when they finally returned to camp.

She kept looking but could not see or find any birds anywhere, she already wandered far enough so she decided to turn back to where the Miracle was fishing. She looked at her a bit "I see you watched some, good..." she said as she walked past the younger female and walked to the river bank a little bit further. She watched the water with pure silence, when she saw fish near the riverbank she quickly hit it out of the water with her front paw and finished it quickly.

KUROI
female fighter - crush is Kiyu - tags: Kiyu, hunters

She gave the temporary lead hunter a nod with a small wave of her tail for excitement, for some reason. Maybe for once, she felt like she was one with the other wolves, instead than that, she was just everyone's way by being young and a newcomer to the rank. She looked at Kiyu a bit then at Ermin as he spoke "Yeah, you're the leader now, you order and we obey, that's what lead hunter is, even temporary one" she said then took one leg to carry the elk back to the camp.

YOMI
female pup/ training TB hunter - crush is open - tags: Ermin, Kuroyuki, hunters

She flicked her a bit ears when Kuroyuki didn't mention her at first to carry the elk to the camp, but didn't have time to say anything and maybe it better if she didn't as the moment Kiyu gave the question, Kuroyuki remembered her and gave her some tasks to help the others to carry the elk. She looked at them all before turning to Kiyu "Sure I would love to go out to catch some rabbits later on, those are good training actually" she said flicking her tail a bi as she took her position on the elk to carry it back to the camp.

ERMIN
male hunter - crush/mate is Kuroyuki/open - tags: Yomi, Kuroyuki, hunters

He rolled his eyes a bit at Kuroyuki's words "Well, of course, I will help with it, what kind of a male I am if I make you ladies take all the hard work" he said to them, knowing that Kuroyuki could likely say something about him calling them all including them as a lady, as he didn't know any other term to actually use for them all as most of them where females. He sighed a bit as he looked and listened to the temporary lead hunter with a nod he took his position to carry the elk back to camp "Don't ask just give an order..." he said to the other hunter.

REDMOON PACK

CASTOR
male lead hunter - crush/ mate maybe Koll/ open - tags: Lab, Kane, Koll

He felt a little confused for a bit as the deer didn't do the way he expected it to do, instead of running away their attack seemed to surprise it so much that it forgot to run away. He smirked a bit as he thought how stupid the deer actually was and changed his path a bit. Instead of attacking the deer's flank, he turned to move in front of it and got to its neck almost fully whipping into the air for a moment as the deer was still a large animal and their neck was very high to the ground. He held his bite as the deer fought a bit, but eventually, it got tired, and when it got it was easy to fall over and finish the hunt. He dropped the deer as he was sure it was not going to run away anymore and looked at the other hunters "Easy hunt is good to hunt Lab...at least we got this one, we could be proud of ourselves" he said shaking his head a bit "We could take this back, as we don't want to lose it for other predators, that could be just sad, later we could try to hunt some smaller preys" he said to them. He looked at the deer a bit "Let's get this back now" he said taking his position to carry the deer to the camp, he also needed to speak to River as there was something he wanted to be sure about her.

LABRADOR
male hunter - crush/mate is Kane/ open - tags: Castor, Kane, Koll

He held the deer all the time as it was fighting back at them, even when it got tired he didn't let it go before he was sure the deer could not stand anymore. He stepped back a bit and looked at the other hunters "Well that was easy almost boring" he said shaking his white pelt a bit as he looked at Kane and even Koll for a moment then back to Castor "Could we take this back or could we try to find something more to hunt?" he questioned the lead hunter a bit. He nodded to his brother a bit then took a look at the other two hunters with a smile, then took his position to help to carry the deer.

KIZO
female pup - crush is open - tags: Azure

She shook her head a bit "Okay..." she said with a flick of her tail as she kept looking "Anyway, now we may have some more playmates to play with and you have another male pup friend? Is it nice? No need to be stuck with two girls only" she said with a little playful bump on the Azure's side.

KIOKU
female pup - crush is open - tags: Azure

She listened to the Azure and looked at the strange pup there "Do you think we can go to say hello to him, or could it be too early...maybe he does want to rest a bit, wonder how long where they get walking" she said with wonders. She smirked a bit at her sister's words a bit "Yeah, you may be extra happy to have a male pup friend now..." she said and bumped to Azure's other side to make him be between the two sisters.

NO PACK YET

HYUUGA
male loner (Redmoon) - crush is Ghost (maybe) - tags: Willow, Gauge, River, Akiro

He nodded to the others with a flick of his tail "It's good to see you're fine too..." he said remembering the avalanche and the chaos back then. It made him feel a little nervous as he realized how many of the pack members survived out of it as he had no idea. He let the pack wolves lead the way, even if he had a very good idea of where the camp was already, but still, it could be rude to walk there first, especially when he had been gone so long time and he didn't know how the pack could actually take him coming back. His ears perked to River as the young hunter spoke, flicking his ears a few times like trying to remember if he heard the name right "Wait? Who is Koa? Does the pack have new wolves?" he asked the young hunter or pretty much all of them with little confusion.

WILLOW
female loner (Redmoon) - crush will be Niko - tags: Hyuuga, Gauge, River, Akiro

She flicked her tail a bit excited, she had not been in a large pack for a long time, of course, she was not sure if the pack was large or not, especially after the horrible avalanche Hyuuga had told her earlier "So is the pack big?" she asked suddenly. She started to wonder if the wolves inside the camp were once the ones she met here, could they let her join? She got a little nervous, but if they didn't then she could only get back to her brother and the little pack he had now.

The siblings both got shaken off the deer as Castor finished the job. They both looked down at the fallen deer, both of them tilting their head to the side but at opposite angles. It was like a watching a reflection in a lake with these two sometimes.
“Agreed, Labrador…agreed” Kane commented,
“It is survival of the fittest around here afterall” he added. Kane smiled up at Labrador,
“No stress, Lab, we got plenty of time to get some more prey. Let’s head home and confirm our kill.” He spoke to him as he walked up to him, grabbing the deer leg next to his.
“Now bear with us, we are not as strong so you two big guys gotta take most of the weight. Koll and I will help preventing the deer from dragging on the ground .”


Koll glanced up at Castor,
“…and I’m sorry about before, I-I didn’t mean to shout at you. Just…the heat of the moment.” He told him, his ears flattening down in embarrassment as he leant down a lifted a leg to try and help.



Goliath
Starlight Warrior | Crush: Open | Tags: Yuui

Goliath chuckled happily,
“One thing you’ll learn as you get older, how easy it is to go off on tangents. Like many things to learn, wisdom to pass down generations-“ he stopped himself as he realised he had done just that.
“-I digress of course…Now! I wanna see what you’ve already learned. Show me your fighting stance!” He spoke, his voice a deep booming of energy. Goliath quickly moved into his stance, his muscles tensing as he waited for the youngster to respond. He made sure he didn’t have his claws out. This was a spat afterall, last thing he wanted to do was hurt a future warrior.

The black phase she wolf smiled and nodded at Hyuuga. She flicked her tail back and forth a couple times, and perked her ears. She tilted her head as she seemed to study him a moment. She wasn’t looking for injuries now, she was studying his body language. She could sense nervousness from him. Therefore, she watched his body language to see if he showed any anxiety. She didn’t want to take him back if he was anxious. She’d have them pause a moment if he needed a moment to calm himself. She sighed as he then asked about the new healer. Of course, he wouldn’t have known about that. She said “Maison…was lost to the avalanche, trying to protect Chi. Neither of them made it out…and we have a new healer named Koa now.”

Akiro- m- 2 y 3 mo- Fighter- homosexual- crush: Castor maybe, definitely Koll- Tags: Gauge, River, Hyuuga, Willow

The reddish looking male twitched darker ears. His darker tipped tail flicked, and he looked to the youngest she wolf there. There were three she wolves here, after all, and then the two males. He happened to be one of those two males. He addressed Willow, saying “Not…not really…It’s not as big as it once was, the avalanche took some of them from us.” He said this with a sigh, and a bit of sadness in his eyes. He then shook his head and smiled, saying “There’s four pups there,” not knowing Narae had returned as well…He also said “There’s a wolf about your age as well. His name is Niko,” he said. He then glanced to the others a moment. Noticing River seemed to possibly be thinking about something, but he didn’t ask her about it.

Azure- m- 7 mo- pup- likes boys- crush: Eros- Tags: Kizo, Kioku

The blue-gray pup and white pup nodded first at Kizo. He flicked his tail back and forth, and twitched his ears. He felt his skin grow warm under his fur, as she seemed to tease him. He was sure they knew he liked boys, but…he also thought maybe that’s not what she meant when she said those things. He nodded at her and Kioku. Saying “Yeah…it could be nice. I mean, we also have Niko. He’s only like…five months older than me.” He shook his head a couple times, as he looked at the two little she wolves, then looked around for a moment. He said “We should probably wait…since they might want to send him to Kona first. You know…to make sure he’s okay.” He then tilted his head as the two of them put him between them.

The pretty but still handsome male blinked his blue and brown eyes. He nodded as he looked at the much bigger male. He almost wanted to be big like him, but at the same time…he knew small wolves had advantage too. They could move around quicker, or go under other wolves or dodge easier or maybe move faster. He didn’t really know, honestly. He’d heard being smaller could have advantages. He nearly jumped, when the other’s voice boomed. He looked to him, a bit nervous. He then shook his coat out. Seeing the other wasn’t angry or annoyed or getting aggressive or getting irritated. It seemed it had been a voice booming with energy. He quickly put himself into a stance, hoping it looked like a good stance for a spar.

Kuroyuki- m, f at times- 2 y 9 mo- hunter- crush: Mikage, Ermin- Tags: Ermin, Yomi, Kuroi, Kiyu

The black phase one flicked their white tipped tail back and forth. Ears twitched and perked as he looked at Ermin and the younger she wolves. They could have growled, but didn’t do so. Instead they nodded at the others, and thought a moment. They said “Kuroi…I want you to hold the head up then, support it. I’ll get the fourth leg,” they said, and went over to do so. Waiting for Kiyu to lift up on one of the legs as well. Once she had, he lifted the elk with her and the others, to head back to camp.

The golden-cream slender and slightly smaller female looked up and over. Hearing the other she wolf coming back, and hearing her speak. She nodded as she looked at her. Saying “I did, but…they’re smaller fish…” but they should be enough. She asked “Do we need to catch any to bring back to the pack? Or are we just catching them for me to eat?” she asked, wanting to be sure. They weren’t really meant to hunt, that was the hunters job. They were already here though, so maybe they could get some extra.

[StonecoldRiddik]

Dante

Standing in silence while the enemy spoke of him as if he were not there caused an ache in his pride, so wounded he was unable to speak for himself or be recognized as anything other than a wounded creature. So Dante blindly took in his surroundings, he knew for a fact he had three leaders around him and he knew their names, but he began to wonder how many of their own survived the tragedy. He couldn’t claim to have known every wolf in the pack before the incident, so he could not accurately predict their losses, but he could certainly tell that new wolves had since joined. Their scents were strong, vibrant, and very obviously new. One in particular carried the scent of a healer’s den, full of essentials for the wounded, but a new scent was with them. ‘Hmm…has the old mutt passed on? And given his burden to new blood? Strange, I thought I would remember that soggy mutt’s name…but it eludes me now…I-I am so tired…’ he thought sullenly while the other adults conversed around him, creating a plan as to what to do with him and even who would watch him. Unfortunately, that job fell to Ghost, the newly appointed beta, now that Nova had stepped up for Liberty.
“What? Afraid I might bite? Oh yes, now that I think about it, I can be quite fiendish when I’m hungry. Ohohoho, very good idea. I’m OLD! BLIND! And wounded, mind you. I won’t be galavanting about causing mischief for at least a week.” He paused in his nonsense for just a moment so that he could hear the end of their conversation before it turned to greeting the pup he’d given shelter to.
“Brilliant. In the meantime, I do intend to become great friends with my sentry. I hope he has not taken some sacred vow of silence; that would be utterly boring.” His blind eyes stared accusingly in the direction of his sentry. “You there! Do you, sir, consider yourself an interesting individual? Can you perhaps carry on a conversation?” He wasn’t given much time to listen for a response before he was whisked away by Blaze, who was taking him to the healer’s den, which was truly a better idea than allowing him, in his delirious state, to continue and wrongly taunt his saviors. He had a foreboding feeling that his mannerisms might be questioned, but he didn’t care. He would explain himself effectively to Destiny if he had to.
Admittedly, some of his remarks, if they mattered to the audience, stemmed from his exhaustion mixed with a little bit of hunger. He was eager to be received by their healer and fed, so much so that it loosened his tongue so that it would whip freely. Yet, he maintained that being watched for now was pointless; the two leaders should go about their day, giving their attention to more pressing matters. And if they were doing this for Dante’s safety, to protect him from wrongly vengeful pack mates, then, silently, the brute wished someone would. Dante wasn’t good for much other than talking, which he hoped to do a lot of now, and when Nova returned to speak with her Beta since she would be leaving him sentry at the healers den. He did not have the means, the interest, or the physical ability to sow webs of discourse in his current state. So what was the worry?
“Here, you can rest a moment,” Blaze said. Those words seemed almost kind to Dante, and they were the best he’d heard in what felt like a full moon. “Thank you, Blaze,” he said in a soft, appreciative grumble, then fell into one of the provided nests. It was a struggle to lie down after standing for so long; his legs trembled with the effort as he eventually got comfortable on the ground. Once more, he brooded in silence over his predicament rather than the contents of the enemy pack. He figured one good day of rest and care from the Koa, and he’d be able to walk again, but who was to say when he’d see? He knew one of his eyes worked, but the swelling had shut his other eye. He was wishful of this Koa performing magic to alleviate this problem, but that was even more unlikely than pigs flying. ‘The only thing that matters right now, I guess, is regaining my strength so that I can be presented to Destiny in good faith for a bargain I am certain she’ll accept if it’s a bargain these wolves are looking for. I know they want something; kindness comes from no one for free, especially enemies.’
“Between you and me, Koa, I could sleep a fortnight and not be bothered,” he said, exhausted, in a voice almost too quiet to be heard if it were not for how the words still grumbled deeply from his throat. Dante hoped that while the healer worked on mending some of his wounds, he was one of the better patients Koa had because Dante had not a single complaint and was clearly thankful during the entire process. “Confident in your work, I take it? Or proud? Either way, I trust your judgment. I know I could do with some water before a meal; I can’t recall the last time I had a drink that wasn’t lapping up snow,” he said grimly, resting his head on his paws. “When do you think I’ll be able to open my swollen eye? I’d very much like to look upon the friendly faces that mended me and thank them.”
