Fang took a deep breath. This would be his first time out since he had been locked in this stinking cage. He pounced through the hole, stiffling a shock of surprise at seeing the outside world again. He ran after Katoomba, jumping with excitement. He charged past her, spinning around in delight. He wanted to pounce on every little rock, every falling leaf, and every twig. Most of all, he wanted to jemp and catch his own prey, to go back to the pride, to prove himself. He stopped and waited for Katoomba to catch up. "What do you want to do? This is so exciting!" He jumped and caught a leaf fluttering in the breeze in his paws. He wondered if Katoomba would want to explore by herself, considering he was only a cub. Fang felt a rush of affection towards her, who always seemed to at least care about him, unlike the lionesses at the pride.

Willow watched as Neith and Arin approached. She heard his yowl and nodded. "They're in here! A snake named Cookie snuck under the entrance and I opened this thing." She pointed at the Window with her tail. She looked at Cookie, who was having a hard time with the pups. She jumped back onto the rock. "Iris! Rue! It's ok. She's trying to help!" She yowled into the ice-thing. She hoped this would calm them.

Cookie I ♀ I Pied python I Zoo Clinic

Willow howled at them through the window, and they seemed to settle. They looked over at Cookie again and sniffed. "Alright, listen. Your mom is out there, and she is anxious to see you again. We just have to.." She looked around the room inside, and noticed that they were stuck. The door was a squeeze only a snake could do, and the windows were shut. "..find a way out of here." What in the world were they going to do?

Her ears rose slightly to a rumbly chuff, tossing her head over. In reply to the tiger, she bared her pearly teeth with a chirp of annoyance. Why was she so protective of her pen? She gave a huff of contempt before turning back to the cub. "First.. I'd like to find something to eat." Her long limbs carried her quickly, scenting the air for anything edible. She realized the cub's footsteps had muffled as he slowed, unable to keep up with a cheetah, apparently. She didn't feel upset by this though, she just took his baggy scruff and carried him herself. The majority of the young lion was just skin, she thought with amusement. Cheetah cubs were much more agile. She was drawing near to a strange smell that emanated from one of the stands. Careful to not jostle Fang, she placed her paws on the counter, her hind legs following close behind. In only a few moments, she was perched on the platform, tearing at a clear substance that held small gnarled pieces in it. She took one in her jaws, swallowing it quickly. She figured if the humans ate it then she could. It was unusual but would satisfy them. A pang of worry settled in her gut. Did Fang still nurse, or was he weaned? If he wasn't, he'd have to wait for the humans to feed him, she supposed. But she wouldn't ask. He wasn't her problem anyway, right? She released him on the counter, herding him away from the edges so he wouldn't hurt himself.

The past few minutes were a blur, but he had already made considerable progress. He flinched at a snarl, glancing up at the tiger who had given a warning to the cheetah outside. It seemed that Fang was following her. Hmm. His mane and pelt were littered with dirt, continuing to dig. His paws weren't built for such a thing. Being the impatient feline he was, he tried shoving himself through before it was done. He did, however, manage to fit to everyone's surprise. He jerked his head over to Azulea. "You coming along?" He asked with a stiff voice.

There seemed to be something happening by the white building. A small group of animals had gathered and were attempting to break in. Throwing caution to the sky, he descended from the air to perch on a fence, eyes captured by them. "I-I don't wanna interrupt anything but what are you guys doing?" He asked timidly, quite afraid that they might lash out at him for intruding. He'd never been around many wolves so he was ignorant to their ways. He ruffled his feathers to make himself bigger, though it didn't help much.

She stalked quietly over to where they were, eyeing everything with caution. She noticed the door was adorned with a grey handle. Perhaps that did something? Afraid she'd look foolish, she padded over quietly, rearing up to bite at it with her teeth. When it didn't budge, she tried a different approach, pressing it with both paws. It clicked but when she removed herself it returned to the usual. She growled with frustration before trying it again, finally managing to pry it open slightly. She shoved her muzzle through the gap and it opened with a creak. She padded it behind the snake with an unreadable expression.

{ Sorry if that was inaccurate. I wasn't quite sure how to imagine the place and if there are even doors. XD

Fang squirmed as Katoomba put him on the big human-good thing. He felt as useless as a kit, but decided not to be rude, considering Katoomba was much faster than him. He looked at the cart, eyeing something he saw humans eat quite often. He jumped in, smelling meat, and grabbed a piece. He dragged a few out, and began to knaw at them. It tasted really salty, but wasn't too bad. He ate more, then jumped down to sniff the air. He looked around and saw another cart with that frozen ball thing the humans thought were so good. What's so good about this? Better try it. He jumped onto the cart and sniffed at the multi-colored frozen things. They smelled like milk. He shoved his face into a white one, purring as it tasted like frozen milk. He tried another one, which tasted like wildberries. "Try this!" He yowled at Katoomba, who was still at the meat cart. "It tatses pretty good!"

Willow spotted the bird she saw earlier, eyeing them with interest. "The humans too my pups and I and put them in this room. We're trying to get them out, I feel like I haven't seen them in forever! They're too young to be seperated!" she replied kind of loudly, her heart pounding. Neith had opened that entrance, and walked towards Cookie. "Cookie! The entrance is open!" she yowled into the ice-thing. Cookie's head rose as she noticed Neith, seeming annoyed at her pup's distrust. She would have to lecture them as soon as they got out.. After she'd lick them to death.

(It works, also Willow needs to learn what windows and doors are already c:)

Vanilla I ♀ I Barn Owl I Zoo Clinic I Tags: Allen

Vanilla was starting to take her shot at hunting, too. She looked around and eventually found a mass of black fur dart across the grass. Her night vision allowed her to see it with ease, and she sped like a feathery bullet across the pavement and crushed the mouse with her weight. She plucked at the mouse once to test if it was still alive after that. She heard the sound of beating wings behind her, and she looked back to see Allen flying away. She grabbed the mouse and swallowed it whole before flying after him. She followed him closely until she noticed the three wolves. She halted in midair and landed on the ground. They seemed to be talking casually to him, but she wasn't about to take chances. The owl watched from afar, her wings slightly unwrapped to fly at them and strike them with her talons if they decided to hurt Allen.

Cookie I ♀ I Pied python I Zoo Clinic

Cookie looked up to see Willow telling her the entrance was open and nodded. She noticed that a large white wolf had the door left ajar for them, and she slithered out through the first set of doors. "Follow me! Willow's just outside!" she hissed. The pups reluctantly followed her and the strange wolf, and it opened the glass doors as well. They all made it out, and Willow was anxiously waiting at the door for them. As soon as the door opened, a flurry of slobber from the kisses of Willow's children flung everywhere, including on her.

Arin I ♂ I Gray Wolf I Zoo Clinic I Tags: Neith, Willow

Arin watched with joy in his heart when he saw the pups. He always wished he could have some of his own. But at the same time, they looked like a pawful. He sat down and sighed, grateful that the whole wolf pup thing was done and over with. He sort of wanted to explore around already. He shunned himself at the thought, preferring to explore over watching a broken family restored and their happiness rekindled. He sat on his haunches and watched them, abnormally quiet, but with a wagging tail. He walked up with a hint of shyness, hoping the pups wouldn't dislike him. Young animals can be rude.

Azulea I ♀ I Siberian Tiger I Tiger Enclosure I Tags: Aurum

Azulea was astonished that he broke through the hole prematurely, but he made it. "Oh! Um, sure." She was surprised that he wanted her to come along. No other animal or human has enjoyed her company, and she wasn't used to such kind offers. She was still wary, but made sure to make her first impression as good as possible. The hole was dug under the fence that separated them, but it was also at the edge of fence border. It would've been a tighter fit hadn't Aurum enlarged the hole with his body. She squeezed in, and poked her head out through the other side. She pushed herself foreword with her back legs, and finally made it through. She shook the dirt off of her, and stretched. It seemed like she was on the other side of the world. In an instant, she no longer cared for her fence that kept her restrained. She was free, and she would not want to go back. She looked around, the familiar sights she saw from her boring enclosure seemed completely new.

Wilow's heart swelled as her pups stumbled out the entrance. She galloped over to them, licking the tufts of fur flat. Her pups were back! Yet, something was different. They seemed excited yet scared, with a mix of independence. Her pups eyed her, happily, and yet seemed to back away slightly. She remembered her father and mother, and how she was cautious around them when she was older. Her heart broke. They're growing up! Willow nodded to them, and turned to the creatures around her. "Thank you for this. I have found my pups. I'm sorry if I've burdened you of wasted your time with this, I wish this could have been your time. Yet I want to thank you, Neith and Arin for caring, even if it wasn't so good at first... for helping me escape, even though I got in the way. But especially to Cookie, you saved my family, and for that I am beyond greatful."

(Personally I now wish I had made her younger and funner, sure, she's a mom charecter, but I kind of wish she was something more. More excited, more laid back, more excitable, in love... I think I want to make a new charecter to satisfy this, but I do not want to take up many more wolf slots, and nothing seems more exciting to me than the wolf enclosure story, what should I do?)

Surprised when the cub disappeared from her side, she was relieved to hear his voice. Leaping gracefully onto the other shiny surface, she took a piece of the faux-meat. She swallowed it, finding the taste not to be enticing, but it would do. She rolled her shoulders, glad she was able to stretch her legs now that she was free. Her eyes glazed over the place, nudging the cub as she descended from the counter, afraid the cub would not be able to get down himself. She wasn't his mother though.

{ Crush: Open! } { Tagged: Azulea } { Lion }

From her cold behavior just before, he hadn't thought she'd want to come along with him, but said nothing of it. She was obviously snappy and he was afraid anything could set her off. She may have just never been around many others, so he didn't jump to conclusions. His massive mane bounced as he strode across the path that felt strange under-paw. How unusual a lion and a tiger must look, walking through the place as if they owned it. It would definitely strike some fear into the humans. He caught a glimpse of the dusty, yellow fur. Cheetah again. He thought with caution, knowing how dangerous they could be.

Now that Vanilla was out and about, she seemed ecstatic! Just as he was. She hardly seemed to notice the wolves for a moment, but finally, her eyes began to swell with uncertainty when she sighted them. He continued to watch the heart-warming scene. The mother wolf, or so he presumed, was coddling her pups who she must have been taken from. He'd never want that to happen to anyone, especially his own fledglings in the future.

{ Crush: Open! } { Tagged: Arin/Neith } { Female wolf }

Her heart swelled with warmth at the sight. Willow was back with her pups. Her children. She imagined herself in the she-wolf's place, and how she might be just as happy as Willow herself. She smiled timidly, her eyes turning to Arin who seemed as pleased and proud as she. Her tail began to flick softly before picking up the pace. Her pale eyes were bright and lively and she wondered what might happen this night. What adventures would they have?

Vanilla I ♀ I Barn Owl I Zoo Clinic I Tags: Allen

Vanilla relaxed as Allen did, and she knew that they mustn't be a threat if he was looking at them calmly. She remained slightly wary, but walked closer and saw the reason why he felt so calm. She saw a beautiful sight. A wolf who was apparently a mother, and she was licking her fledglings with a happy tail. Vanilla couldn't help but smile. It was heartwarming. She flew up to the windowsill of the white building, and watched from a safe but close distance. She always wanted children, as they seemed to be such good company. Having something to take care of would be nice. The thought turned into one about Allen, but she ruffled her feathers and tried hard to think about the pups. "T-they're beautiful." she spoke in a timid but gentle voice.

Cookie I ♀ I Pied python I Zoo Clinic

"Aww.. shucks. I mean, thanks. But I'm just happy to see your kids safe. They were in the white building." she said with a little bit of leftover fright. But the thought escaped her head, and she focused once more on the brown pup, who approached her and drenched her in drool and kisses. Cookie couldn't help but let out a hissy laugh. "Blech! Heh heh. Thank you.. uh.." she stammered, looking at Willow for the brown pup's name.

Arin I ♂ I Gray Wolf I Zoo Clinic I Tags: Neith, Willow

Arin looked back at the little snake and pondered. Wait.. that puny thing rescued her pups? It must be one awesome snake. He turned back at a darker colored pup, who was looking at him curiously. He flattened his ears and sniffed its nose with a wagging tail. The pup snapped his nose and seemed to laugh at him. His feelings slightly hurt, he rubbed his nose with a paw and nervously laughed.

Azulea I ♀ I Siberian Tiger I Tiger Enclosure I Tags: Aurum

Azulea followed Aurum with a bouncy stride, which was most unlike her. She sniffed the air, and found the hint of smell that came from the cheetah. She was about to growl, but didn't bother. The fence was no longer hers, nor did she care about it anymore. Coming to think of it, she felt bad that she had growled at the cheetah and lion cub who were simply minding their own business. She must've been clouded by her own sour mood. She lowered her head slightly, and looked at the sight of pale yellow fur with sorrow. Her eyes kept a sense of awareness, as she felt that at the back of her mind, the cats wouldn't forgive her. She slowed her pace down dramatically as they got closer.
