Wings Of a New (Accepting)

[Hajime.]

[K tank u <3]

Ara gave his rare sharp-toothed wolf-grin, and his body tensed. His tail waved high in the air in anticipation, and his orange-stone-amber eyes gleamed. Ara made the first move; diving towards Shay and turning on his back with his curled paws in the air, and tail thumping the ground, trying to catch her wonderful tail. He treasured her scent, for it was the most beautiful scent in the world! He yapped playfully, like the cub he used to be.

Lieŕan looked at Ara, and felt his feelings. He blushed, experiencing the deep-down animal instincts that all had, and at the same time the wolf feelings of play, family, friendship, dominance, and - mostly in Ara - a hole of loneliness that needed to be filled.
Lieŕan watched Megan for a glimpse, and saw that she'd tried to hide a smile. He grinned to himself at this, and watched Ara and Shay with his shining amber eyes. He looked around for Katherine, and pulled out a chunk of raw salmon that he had hid in his pocket. He placed it in his hand, ready to grab it if she swiped at it again. He held it out to her, quite close to his leg, but not too close. He wanted her to trust him.

[wanda.]

Shay quickly turned her back and ran, she did a quick turn, clenching her front paws and leaning to the left, letting her body slide, she then ran in the opposite direction. Meg knew that this was the first time since playing with Kath, Justice, Maya and Willow that she had had a lot of fun, so she just watched. Katherine looked at the fish in Lir's hand and her small nose picked up its scent, she thought for a moment and nibbled it, still in his hand, and purred, she did not fully trust him but she trusted him to do that.

[Hajime.]

Ara got up in a quick, graceful motion, and raced after Shay. No sound escaped from his muzzle, but his orange-stone-amber eyes gleamed excitedly. His brown-and-white fur rippled, and as he leaped after her, he did a magnificent twist, and rolled over so he didn't get hurt. He spread his black lips in a wolf-grin with his white muzzle wrinkled. His folded ears perked forwards, and he dived after her.

Lieŕan smiled down at Katherine as he produced another hidden small cube of salmon. This time he placed it on the floor by the cat, content that she'd eaten from his hand. He beckoned to Poppy, and allowed her to sit by his legs if she wanted.
He bathed in Ara's feelings and emotions through his mind.

[honeybee.]

Poppy-Wolf-Hope
Poppy, feeling a little lonely, was glad to sit by Lieran.

[wanda.]

Katherine sat down and looked at the food in front of her, her grey silk like fur dazzling in the sunlight shining from the window, nudged it away with her nose, saying she would feel greedy eating all of the food. her eyes following Shay, she jumped up onto the chair which Meg was sitting on, she tried to gently lie down on her lap, Meg stroked her back as she purred. Shay did another swift turn, doing the same motion, but this time she jumped up after, she then turned around and jumped over Ara, forcing him to slide and turn around after her, slowing his pace. Meg couldn't help but laugh quietly.

[Hajime.]

Lieŕan understood Katherine's choice not to eat the last cube of salmon, but he left it for her.
He watched the two wolf-dogs again, and laughed at Shay's smartness. He also admired Ara. From being the half-dead cub he had picked up in his arms as gently as he could, to the lead wolf; strong, sure, fast, and caring for his pack. He looked down at Poppy, and stroked her softly. He could tell she was thinking about Hope, but he didn't know what to say. He missed Erik, too. Lieŕan ignored those sad feelings, and watched the play.

Ara turned around, still in the air, and landed lightly, facing Shay. He watched her, his body tense. He bounded forward, and pulled her down, a paw over her shoulder. He tugged playfully at her ear, his tail thumping the ground.

[wanda.]

Shay looked at Ara and then quickly bit one of his flopping ears, and tugged on it, trying to find an escape root, unsuccessfully. Megan smiled,
"Ara is smart, not many can do that and see faults in Shay's plans." Meg commented, Katherine nodded.

[Hajime.]

Lieŕan looked at Megan, and saw her smile. Her comment warmed him, and the emotion spread through his and Ara's link. Lieŕan smiled, too, his amber eyes bright. They weren't dreamy like when he'd always seen... her, as if he were chasing a dream. Lieŕan made no silly, foolish attempts, but sat, and gazed at Megan.
He pulled his attention away from her as he watched Ara and Shay again, swiping a lock of brown hair out of his face.

Ara gave another wolf-grin at his victory, but held Shay under his paw, and continued to hold her ear in his jaws. He wouldn't let her go until she accepted defeat. He swiped the floor with his tail, happy at the tailless pack-sister's comment, which Ara understood through Lieŕan. He continued to hold Shay, taking in the most beautiful scent in the forest.

[wanda.]

Shay sighed, but she refused defeat and managed to flip them over, she got off of Ara and made another run for it making Meg laugh at Her thoughts of, I am so not going to lose.

[Hajime.]

Ara rolled over and laid on his back, his folded paws and back-legs in the air. He looked up, his tongue lolling out of his maw, and yapped at Shay. His orange-stone-amber eyes were bright with funny-amusement.

Lieŕan laughed, and was surprised that Meg did, too. He liked her laugh.
