.:Tomorrow holds no promises
Except the ones that we made
We'll go far with hearts like ours
'Till then we've got today..."
Malba was relieved that no immediate violence had sprung between the two, but still kept a close eye on the situation as Lily tried to reason with the stubborn hunter. Malba was picky with hunting talent which he felt he had the right to determine with his experience and devotion to the field, he saw Magenta as an average hunter at best. She was a hunter with extraordinary health and speed, she was the wolf you wanted to hunt rabbits or to run ahead of the others in a large prey hunt to slow down or lead the prey a different way, she also proved to be an excellent leg tripper. However that was the problem. She had no talent in the art of the hunt, but her talent in other things made up for that and caused her to be valuable in hunts. Of course Malba had no conflict with Magenta, but that was just how he saw things. He was still glad that she devoted herself to help them catch food for the pack, which they really should be doing right now.
He noted sadly that it seemed like Magenta wasn't listening. This probably wouldn't be the last time she'd disappear. One of these days she was going to be absent when they really needed her. That will be a dark day. Lily finished up her lecture and went on to the more important thing. The hunt. It seemed they will be hunting deer today, Malba was overjoyed with the thought. "Deer..." he couldn't help to mumble. He still looked as serious as usual but he couldn't hide the gleam in his eyes and the slight drool that came from him mouth from the anticipation. He was ready to move when Lily was. However, his skillful ears and nose suddenly picked up a familiar smell "...Zero is approaching..." He announced in a dull but thoughtful voice as he turned his head towards the direction that the female hunter was located.

.:What's going on?!
Can someone tell me please--
Why I'm switching faster than the channels on TV?
I'm black
Than I'm white
No!!!
Something isn't right!
A cold shiver ran down her spine at Lily's first words about her brother not being able to protect her forever or will bother to. Magenta knew she was only half right. He couldn't protect her forever, but he sure as will try to. He was quite the possessive brother and she was the only one who...She forced herself to get off this thought rail. Nothing good came up when she thought about her brother's flaws. She kinda wish he wouldn't try to protect her forever, that Lily was one hundred percent right about that. Ah, but enough, enough!
Being the amazing and respectful wolf she was, Magenta remained quiet and basically ignored Lily's entire response, focusing instead on random thoughts that scuttled in her brain. Like what would she and her brother eat tonight? She'll probably have to run after the hunting session. Marrak and Lily probably spawned from the same shadows. Why hadn't she encountered a single cute guy today?(Marrak doesn't count, he's more handsome than cute anyways) Was she still talking?! What was Malba thinking over there? Magenta then noticed Lily finally went quiet. Though she had done her best to not pay attention to the lead huntress' words, she couldn't help but to notice how her tone soften. That brought a familiar bitterness. That's the kinda tone she use to hear all the time. In the end she merely nodded her head with a roll of her eyes. "Whatever..." she muttered in a grumpy way. Magenta was pushing it today. Nothing different happened this time, no lesson learned, no point finally getting across. Everyone is selfish. No doubt this white wolf will sneak off tomorrow morning as well, she'll make sure to leave earlier next time and to not run into her distracting brother.
With that done, Magenta stood up straight and was ready to follow Lily now. Lily then announced it was time for them to move on from this, they would hunt deer today. The look of awe and delight that came into the stoic wolf named Malba's eyes was humorous. So were his simple words. But his sudden announcement of Zero approaching caught her off-guard. She hadn't detected her. With smell and a flick of her ears she still couldn't detect the huntress. Magenta looked in the direction that the male was staring in.

.:I'm not stressing, obsessing over who I'm not impressing
I know perfection's infectious or is it more like infection?
It gets under your skin because you know I'm ignoring you~
Wouldn't you rather be broken than boring too?
Over and over
Track on repeat
There's something wrong with me..."
Aleksandr stopped his giggles as he was playfully nibbled on the shoulder. Being the goober he was known to be at times, he let out a happy yelp and finally took his head out of her fur so he could pull on her closest ear before giving Star quick nips at random. His own playful actions stopped when she whispered those words to him. His amber eyes widen slightly before they went back to normal and a cheshire-like grin came upon his face. This wolf wasn't as stupid as he feared. That's good, it makes things more interesting. He chuckled lowly, his lovely voice making it sound like music. "My dear Bituin, what a stereotypical thing to say. What does an angel look like? How does a devil act? Such things revolve around purity and corruption, but those are two concepts that do not exist in one simple way. What is pure to another may be impure. No one sees such things the same one as everyone else, it would be boring if we do. So angels, devils? I see my appearance or inner-self affiliated with neither. I am neutral between those two sides, my own perfect self, thus my own unnamed view of myself is the truth. However I can't stop your perspective. How you see me is your own truth. So if you see my appearance as an angel than I better be a good-looking one~" he whispered his physical views into her ear with a wink before he moved his head a little so his bright eyes were right in her face. Considering normal wolf language, this would look like a challenge, but honestly Aleksandr was focused on her eyes for different reasons. "So, Love, how do you see yourself? Both on the inside and out? I know how I see you." he asked her with a smile that seemed dark, the words unsettling with an unspoken ominous.
However he did not get to hear her answer, for Breeze finally came over, much to his happiness. He straighten his posture into something graceful before he spoke to her, pleased with her first words. He loved how hard she tried to be friendly with him and act proper, "don't want to seem ugly, right?" he thought with a inner sneer. Giving her his best smile, he licked his jaws thoughtfully before answering. "Today seems to be the day for guests. There's another loner, possibly just a mere a dispersal. We seem to have some wolves already dealing with the stranger but just in case, go check to make sure it's all going smoothly and tell them to hurry up, you can bring a buddy with you if you prefer to play it safe. You don't have to report back unless something is amiss or you think me or Marrak needs to know. After that, grab a fighter or two and go check the south of the territory to see if there's still any fresh bear scent. Do NOT seek an encounter with it if it's still there, even if the odds of chasing it out are good. Orion and Bear will handle any future bear chasing, not you. The good news is that winter is coming, so they soon won’t be a threat. I just don't want them doing some last minute eating here in our territory. We need all the food that we can get for winter. And after that is all done report back to me and I'll give you a new task or two that I'm sure you'll love~" he practically sung out the last sentence before letting out a big breath, that had been a mouthful. With that he gave a flick of his tail and a flirtatious wink to dismiss her.
Now this is when Aleksandr focused his attention back to Marrak, disappointed that Magdalena was not on the ground bleeding from a new wound and noticing that Suwanee was talking to Marrak, being bold enough to comment about her impatience for food. Then again healers (especially the lead ones) usually got away with stuff like that. Last thing you want is to get an extra bitter herb on your next medical visit. Suwanee was a bit of a threat, kind of a surprise. You wouldn't normally see a healer as an enemy you may consider killing in their sleep. But she was, and though barely even noticeable, he could tell Suwanee held feelings for Marrak, how intense they were he did not know. It took him a long time to finally be able to see through her poker face, and it's a frightfully good one. Good enough that he can't predict her as well as most of the other idiots in their pack, and that's a bad thing. Also the whole feelings thing for Marrak is bad too. Yeah, Aleksandr was still debating if he should put her on his kill list, it's almost a shame to kill a beauty, almost.
Everyone was finally getting active it seems, for Bear and Haunted came over, ew he had to deal with guys now. Of course Bear decided to RUDELY and DISRESPECTFULLY greet the wolf right next to him before greeting him (actually he didn't even get a greeting). Thankfully Marrak was the bad wolf, otherwise Aleksandr would make sure to shape that disrespectful boy's ears and tail in a way so that he truly resembled a bear. But instead, Aleksandr gave him an angelic smile, indicating he was in a great mood like he always was. He waited for him and Star to talk a little before he decided to make his almighty presence known. "Good morning Bear! Fine day to be alive,right?" he greeted with a laugh at the end. He knew the wolf's affections for Star, honestly he was like a puppy when it came to that girl. Of course it was mere fact that Aleksandr would be a far better catch than that lumbering oaf. Aleksandr held the kind of ego that believed he had first dibs on all the females. Ah but choosing is hard and would be too boring. Aleksandr found it to be more interesting to be single, and see who comes his way and falls for him. He was confident enough that he believed could steal any fae away, because of that, Aleksandr did not feel jealousy towards Bear, though his possessive nature was stirring up a bit. Remembering that Bear was never alone, he soon spotted Haunted. He made eye-contact with the black brute before secretly giving him a look of ridicule that no one else saw. Oh, Haunted was like a trophy to Aleksandr. Before the previous beta (the one that he had kindly killed), Haunted had been the beta. But he been demoted for the murder of others. Aleksandr glorified in the fact that he himself has done deeds that would get him demoted too, deeds of frame, blackmailing, lies, manipulation, and merciless death. Yet he still had his rank, because he was smart and better than Haunted, and he loved to rub the fact that he was beta into his face. "Hello to you too, Haunted. I'm sure you slept well?" he asked in a manner that desired no answer.
This is when Aleksandr was given a moment for silence, now merely listening to everything around him. He noted that Mia had joined them, but did not acknowledge her. He noted how he was surrounded with these filthy rats, lousy males that wear their nooses of arrogance and nativity, unclean females that he should never touch. Ah, how his mother would be so disappointed in him if she knew. He raised her better than this, better than to be dirty like this. She hated filth. He hated filth. Everything was filthy, appearance is everything, scars are for the dead. He was... Aleksandr felt the eyes of another, and notice that Mia had been staring at him. Aw, how cute. To save her the embarrassment, he pretended not to notice her eyes, instead focusing on the hyper Magdalena who was....coming over here. Oh no. Well, it was time for him to go now, he needed to join Marrak to deal with the intruder anyways. Though it didn't see like it (that's kinda the point), Aleksandr paid great attention to his surroundings. He keeps up with what's happening and chooses when he wants to deal with something, he's like the walls that has ears. "Well, I gotta go join Marrak, Bear, take care of my precious Bituin for me~" was his parting words as he gracefully walked off, but to get where he needed to he had to pass Mia, the wolf who really needed to improve her appearance.
He made sure his tail glazed her shoulder before looking back at her with warm eyes. "Bye Mia, work hard today to become even braver. I like brave wolves." he said his words slowly but with a delicious tone before he turned back and simply walked away to join Marrak, mirroring his posture on his left flank,the two opposite colored wolves that remained beside each other gave the scene quite a light next to darkness feeling. He ignored the bystanders, it was natural for others to be nosy. Aleksandr dipped his head in an elegant manner of greeting before finally getting a close examination of this nameless stranger. It takes an expert ladies’ man like himself to be able to tell through all that muck and dirt that this wolf was quite the looker. Ah, but looks can only get a girl so far. With a warm smile, Aleksandr stared at her with an incredible intensity as if he was looking through every nook and cranny in her brain. His smile widen a little, seems like someone wanted to play a game. "Excuse me, but I'd like to take part in this discussion. It's nice to meet you lovely lady! My name is Aleksandr, it's an horror, truly~" he said in a merry way. After that the first thing he did was stare at Orion, who was smart enough to know to keep his distance. The beta gave the lead fighter a disappointed look before speaking in a sad but frustrated voice. "Orion, the alpha gave you one simple task. Was it so hard for one with your abilities that you needed to bring her here alive but utterly filthy? You know how much I dislike like uncleanliness." he chastised him before letting out a sad sigh.
Now it was time to get to business, he made sure to give the stranger a gentle look. "If I may be frank, I don't think it would be wise to take in another healer at the moment, we have enough of them. Normally I say the more the merrier... but winter is coming and food has been surprisingly hard to obtain this year. Another wolf is another mouth to feed. Winter also means the breeding season-and I'm aware of your interest in love, Alpha-but another female in heat just means more chaos for the breeding season." Aleksandr spoke his opinion, giving the nameless fae an apologetic look. This is when Aleksandr sneers on the inside. "But..." he began as he turned his attention to Marrak with a fox-like smile "if she can prove to be a healer who can properly defend herself and provide food when times may become desperate than I suppose it would be fine to take this wolf in. Let's give her a hunting and fighting trial. If she proves to excel in both than I believe we can welcome her with open paws. Lily and Orion can set up the trials and she can perform them tomorrow, though for the rest of today she should probably be a prisoner. What do you think, Marrak?" Aleksandr finished his proposal, looking expectantly at his leader with a curious look, trying to convey an unspoken message to Marrak.

.:I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
It takes more than I have, pick fights with the past, I always lose
Oh, don't you know? That's no way to live!
I know what it's like staying up all night nursing wounds
I get it, give me a little credit!
I remember when I was that pathetic
Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see
Like look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick!
You probably have the right to feel how you do..."
Magdalena was, as usual, unaware of how close she was to pushing her leader over. Her next mindless comment probably would have had some consequences, but that's when Suwanee came to save the day, the distraction causing Magdalena to become quiet so she could hear the healer's words. Afterwards she even smiled and greeted her! Magdalena returned the smile with a huge grin, tail wagging in delight at her appearance. "Good morning Suwanee! And don't worry, Marrak is making sure that we'll have plenty of rabbits to eat!" she greeted and reassured her with a confident silly nod of her head. Magdalena was greatly fond of the healers and Suwanee was no exception with that statement. Magdalena often visited them for checkups. Having your face and leg messed up entitles you to that. First off she has to often get her ear checked. A wolf's ear has many wonders, the fact that it's designed to catch sound and protect the sound hole from bacteria are a couple of them. So the healers have to make sure nothing bad is forming in the hole were her ear once was. Next off Magdalena constantly has to worry about infection, specifically forming around the eye socket that once held her right eye, it's not hard for white blood cells to get trapped and die around there in an attempt to heal or clean the area. So she sees the healers to check for or clear any beginning infection around the eye socket. And finally, on cold days like these the arthritis in her messed up leg can be tremendously painful for her, so she needs something that helps relieve the pain. It sucks but hey, what can ya do?
Marrak then spoke back a response to Suwanee, answering Magdalena with a response and look at the end that made her ear droop. "Awww, but Marrak, you're the alpha. Can't you make it rain rabbits or something?" she whined, not making it very clear if she was being actually serious with that question. However, the turn of his head distracted Magdalena from the precious tragedy of her dear alpha not manipulating nature to create a rain storm of rabbits. She followed his gaze and saw a female she did not recognize. A new wolf?! She stared in awe, her curiosity strong. She had many questions as she watched Marrak get up and headed over to the new wolf. Upon his departure Magdalena turned back to Suwanee, eye bright with excitement. "I wonder who she is?!" she shared her curiosity with the healer, the omega than became a bit wiggly but quickly went still as the pain she had been ignoring up to this point made itself determined to be the focus of attention. She gave the brown female a sheepish smile as she spoke again "Um...Suwanee, when you have time, will you give me something for pain? My leg is a little sore, sorry." she apologized with a bashful laugh. She really was thankful for healers like Suwanee for existing. Despite her intense appreciation of them though, Magdalena couldn't help but feel like she was getting slapped in the face each time she was helped by them. Thomas was a healer too before he gave it up to live out her dream for her. Oh how she was a fool, if only she could have learn to appreciate healers earlier in her life instead of seeing violence as the only answer. Maybe everything would have been different... Magdalena would probably try and aim to become a healer for this pack if memories of Thomas and her own disappointing faults didn't become so vivid whenever the small of medical plants hit her nose. Also there was the fact of how she hated sitting still.
Making up her mind, Magdalena headed towards the group of wolves that contained Aleksandr and company, calling to Suwanee from behind her shoulder "I'm gonna go figure out who that stranger is but morning greetings are important too, so that comes first! Lets greet the others, Suwanee!" she said and limped to the other wolves without looking back to see if Suwanee was following. That was one of the many problems with Magdalena, she'll ask one thing than quickly forget it to do another thing instead. Her priorities were quite questionable. While limping over there she made sure to bump into Saifali who was sitting off by himself, something that wasn't unusual. She headbutted his shoulder "Come on, come on, let's greet the others, Saif!" she ushered him, apparently satisfied with that being the morning greeting she was to give him. It was like this most days too. Saifali was a three-legged omega born without a leg thanks to fate, and Magdalena was tempted to call him her best friend in this pack. He was gentle and mellow, she was loud and rambunctious. Opposites who both possessed huge hearts. Magdalena felt bad for him, at least she had been able to experience what it was like to have all her legs in normal condition. He never got to experience that, actually he seemed sheltered in general. So often Magdalena found herself pushing him to try new things as well as to be a bit more adventurous in nature. To sum it all up, she liked dragging him into trouble with her. He reminded her of someone...
She continued with her destination, now leaving behind both Suwanee and Saifali to follow or to just do their own thing. Before she reached the group, Aleksandr left to join Marrak, oh well, she already talked to him anyways and plus they were gonna share food later anyways so here was no need to speak to the beta again at this current moment. Upbeat, she approached Star, Mia, Bear, and Haunted. "Good morning everyone!!! I wonder who that stranger over there is!" she greeted and commented with the biggest smile ever. Remembering that she was mainly surrounded by fighters she asked the one question she asked almost every day. "Are any of you guys practicing sparring later today???" Magdalena loved watching the fighters practice, it was the only time she would ever be quiet and still. She always wanted to give them advise or ask them to teach her some of the techniques they used that she never could have come up with in a million years, but yet she remained quiet, satisfied with observing them. She hoped they would, oh that would be so cool if they did!
((No, no everyone, I'm fine! I just became, how you say, very malnourished from all the throwing up I did. I'm okay, I just need to take it easy. Thank you for understanding though, you're all so awesome buhfedhyuh
