Wolves' Howl V.3 ~ NEEDS MEMBERS!!!

[Tyki-Pon]

Listening to his words, Slater sighed to himself, as much as he wanted to see her, he understood the threat it would pose. especially if she had never seen a horse before. Shoulders slumping with defeat, he got back in line next to his aunt and fell silent.

Pyro was ever so slightly in the lead of the trio, but not enough to be more than seven or eight feet ahead of the other two. Once the glen came into view, he was a bit shocked to see a wolf sitting between the two boulders that led the the glen. It stood when it saw them, turned, and disappeared into the glen. He looked back at Slater and his mother, and then pulled his horse to a stop, dismounting. He led the horse to a fallen log, and tied the reins to a broken branch to keep it from wandering off, and then moved to help his mother dismount.

Dusk's forest green eyes flashed with distaste as she heard the hooves of the horses the humans rode, though as the trio came into view, she flashed her teeth at them, signalling that at least she didn't welcome them, though she couldn't do anything about keeping them out. The young fae stood and turned to enter the glen, broken patched of sunlight dancing on her dark pelt as she disappeared toward where Dumah lay with her brother. Fire seemed to be sleeping, his chest rising and falling peacefully, his ears flicking every once in a while when a bird came a bit too close or a squirrel chittered angrily as it dropped its acorn. Dusk nudged Dumah's arm, " They've arrived, " she told her, and stepped back as the Taken Child rolled to her stomach and then pushed herself up into a crouch. Dumah reached out to pat Dusk's head affectionately, and then stood, walking to her discarded deerskin clothes to get her knife belt, clipping it on and sliding Slater's blade into the sheath that she'd made overnight.

Dismounting, Slater did likewise and tied his stallion up, but a bit away from Pyros cause his horse liked to fight other stallions. Patting his neck affectionately, he grabbed the basket that he put the food in and waited for the rest of them. As much as he wanted them to hurry, he curbed his impatience and went to his aunts side.

Pyro allowed his mother to hold onto the crook of his arm, and they began toward the entrance of the glen. Pyro looked toward Slater, knowing that he was impatient to see Dumah again. After all, he was the first to see the girl, and Pyro tried not to feel jealous that the first person to see Dumah was Slater rather than her own brother. Pyro somehow managed to keep his emotions in check, and smiled reassuringly at his mother as they entered the arch of trees that led into the glen.

Following them, Slater kept quite, but kept his eyes on the wolves. He noted their numbers and where they were positioned. Upon seeing Dumah, he smiled. "Hello Dumah" He called. "As promised, your brother Pyro, and your mother" Letting them walk forward, he stood still. Letting them have their time to accept each other

Pyro's gaze fell on the two wolves that were visible, though he had a feeling there was another wolf that he couldn't see. The shadows behind him moved -- he thought they did, anyway -- and he turned his head to see a black wolf padding behind them. The wolf was larger than the other two, and had bright silver eyes and a bit of white around his muzzle, clearly a few years older and probably the alpha. His gaze turned forward once more when Slater addressed Dumah, the petite girl who stood before them, her light brown gaze on he and his mother. He could feel his mother's grip on his arm tighten, and offered a soft smile to his sister. " Dumah? " he queried softly as they approached her slowly. Dumah's lips quirked upward at the corners, murmuring a soft greeting in Lupine instead of English, and knelt beside the sleeping wolf on the ground, touching his shoulder lightly. She returned to her feet as he slowly roled to his feet, and then turned his blind, bright orange gaze on the humans. You must be Silence's family. he thought, projecting the thought into all three of the humans' minds, and noted the startled sound of the woman he would assume to be Dumah's biological mother. Fire turned, padding over to his sister and leaning his shoulder into hers as they walked to their Alpha, who remained ever so slightly hidden by the shadows. Pyro had watched the two wolves pad away slowly, but his gaze soon returned to Dumah, and he spoke again, seeing that she wouldn't speak first. Or rather, he tried to speak.. but as he opened his mouth to speak, she spoke first, " It is a .. pleasure to, " the Taken girl had to pause for a moment, obviously trying to speak her English as clearly as possible. " To meet you both, " she finally finished after a moment, feeling a bit embarrassed that she could hardly speak. Her gaze lifted to Slater, and she lifted a hand toward him in greeting. Pyro's voice broke her train of thought, bringing her gaze back to him, " My name is Pyro, Dumah. " he told her, and allowed his mother to step forward, toward Dumah, who instinctively took a wary step back, which was mirrored by a protective rumble from the shadows, though there was no threatening hint to the sound. Dumah looked to Slater, looking almost panicked. She had no clue how to deal with other humans, which was obvious in the way she had stared clueless at her biological mother when she'd opened her arms for a hug, and retreated when she had stepped forward, slowly, to embrace her.

[Tyki-Pon]

"Its okay Dumah" SLater said softly. "She just wants to hug you. Like you do your wolves. To us, it is a way to express happiness, love, sadness, and many other things. She is so happy to see you, and she just wants to show you that with a hug" Glancing back at the black wolf, he had to smile a bit, he reminded him a bit of his stallion, large, black, protective and deadly.

Dumah remained cautious, and shifted her gaze back to her mother, who, while she looked a bit hurt that Dumah had retreated from her, she also looked understanding. The taken Child was hesitant to step forward again, and accepted the hug that the other woman began. She seemed a little confused when she hesitantly raised her hands from her sides to wrap them lightly around her mother's shoulders, uncertainly returning the embrace. Fire and Dusk sat where the sun met the shadows, though only Dusk watched the two humans closest to Dumah. Fire's oddly colored eyed were closed, merely listening to his surroundings, though his he swiveled when he heard their Alpha stand and pad into the sunlight, the gray streaks that colored the left side of his face shimmering slightly. The mark itself looked almost like a scar, though it was actually just a mark in his fur. His bright silver gaze was on Slater, and he padded toward the hunter cautiously, though he was clearly listening to what was going on with Dumah as well. He circled Slater for a moment, and when he deemed him not a threat, he padded off to a patch of sunlight near Dumah and lay down, his silver gaze on the woman who hugged her.
Pyro was cautious of the wolf that was so close to Dumah and their mother, but he didn't say anything about it, and once his mother finally released Dumah, the girl made a gesture toward the silver - eyed wolf, who stood the instant their attentions were on him. " Shadows Rise, " the Taken Child introduced, " Alpha of Shalbriris. " she said, and when she mentioned the pack name, she made a vague gesture toward the wolves who sat in the shade. " Those are Flame's Mourning and Dusk's Twilight. " the two wolves dipped their heads when their names were mentioned, and Dumah continued, her voice softening, " They are my family. "

[Tyki-Pon]

"It is nice to meet you all" Slater said with a slight bow. "My name is Slater Rorwan Emry. I am Dumahs cousin." He replied. Straighting up he suddenly remembered his basket. Picking it up, he walked forward a bit slowly. "I completely forgot, buy this is some food for you." Setting it down at her feet, he smiled. "So you said the black wolfs name is Shadows Rise, I would like you to tell him thank you for me. For taking such good care of you. In fact, tell them all that" Glancing back at Pyro he had the briefest thought of deserting him and his aunt and staying with Dumah and the wolves forever, but before he could really think on it, it was gone.

Fire listened as the human male spoke, and his bright orange, yet blind, eyes opened, and he padded forward, his side following closely at his side. The alpha's thoughts, as well as his sister's, came to mind, and he used telepathy to transfer their thoughts to Slater's mind in his own words. My alpha, my sister, and I would all like to thank you for not killing us on sight, and for not taking Dumah when you originally had the chance. And you are welcome, human. Tell your other family we said so. Fire paused near Dumah, though he remained a few feet away from her, the scarlet and burgundy in his fur glimmered faintly in the sunlight that he now stood in. Dumah smiled faintly, and then dipped her head in thanks. " Yes. They do hear human speech. You just do not hear them like me. " she said, looking to Shadow as she saw a few wolves made of shadows pad into the sunlight and then dissipated. The Taken girl adjusted the piece of black fabric that hung around her hips, covering the majority of her right leg. Fire spoke to Dumah, though it would have only sounded like growls and soft barks to the other humans. " The Slater human thought about.. staying? But only for a moment. " Dumah looked a little interested, and her gaze turned back to Slater. " I could teach you, " She was offering to teach him how to speak like the wolves, of course.
