Regnad: *just wants to mind her own business, but is being chatted off by a local newborn; rolls eyes*

Raz: . . . and that's how I caught the biggest fish that ever lived. That sound believable, girlie? |D Huh, huh, huh? Cause if not, I'll have to change it some. Maybe not ten feet long fish then . . .

Fizzle: -listens to Raz- How interesting................................... -awkward smile-

Nissassa: *Wonders on by* Oh come on. I can tell a more believable story than that. *sits down beside her sister*

Sidhiel: *wanders in now followed by Daeron for once* HI HI!! 8D *toddles over to the other puppies*

Aerithe: *follows as well, curious about the others*

Fizzle: -sees tons of puppies- Woah woah woah! Why am I so old compared to you all? I'm a TEENAGER. Yeah ;D

Regnad: *A fish so long would eat him whole, she thought with a quiet snort . . . Eyes Fizzle warily, not smelling Tomkin on him at all. How could Nissa act so calm about a stranger in their lands? Grows uncomfortable as two more strange pups and a lumbering lynx cub come by, fur bristling, eyes narrow*

Raz: *totally doesn't notice the awkwardness, looking pleased with Fizzle's compliment until some other siwrly-backed girl drops on by and tells him otherwise* Really. I'd like to see you try. See, you've got an audience! *vague gesture about, flashing a grin at the new girls* Come on, it's story time!

Fizzle: Oh do tell a story!

Sidhiel: *runs forward at the thought of a story* Oh I love a good story! *grabs Dae by the back and the neck and drags him with her*

Dae: *groans and allows himself to be dragged as he has little choice in the matter*

Aeri: *eyes the proclaimed story teller* Oh yeah? You so sure you can tell a good story...I bet I can tell a better one!

Regnad: *Thinks it's best now to go alert one of the alphas. Too many strangers were getting right into Tomkin territory! But before she manages more than one step -*

Raz: Hey hey, sit down, chatty! You ought to listen to your sister's story and see for yourself who's the best. *then turns to she-pups wiht a raised brow and a cocky smirk* Another girlie thinks she can out-tale me? Sheesh, you know what they say about pride and falling off a cliff or something. So where you guys come from?

Aysel: *Trots by, noticing the few not belonging to her pack and wondered if they had business here. It didn't seem likely, most were pups or very young, so perhaps it was their parents that were here on business and decided to take the pups along...Whatever the case, she moved in to investigate, her eyes narrowing at Raz immediately.*

Regnad: *perks up as she spots the alpha's children, finding her chance and muttering to them a single word as she leans over* Intruders.

Raz: 'Course I do! But I'm not on a mission, so it can go BLABLAHBLAH right now~ |3 *nuzzles his older sister a little, glancing at Aysel* Hey, it's stick in the mud come to join us for a story!

Sidiel: I just live with my Momma and Papa and my brother and sister...Oh oh and Daeron here. My sister gots herself a crow like Momma and Papa but I think Dae is better 8D *wriggles her tail and butt*

Dae: *rolls his eyes at Sidhiel*

Aeri: *raises a brow* Darn straight I can out-tale ya! *holds her head up* I'm from Ignis Renatus and if you try anything I'll eat ya up, and if I don't ma Daddy will! *puffs up with pride*

Nukilik: *eyes narrow as he pinpoints the intruders and slips quietly into the shadows to find his uncle or father, he was brave, but not stupid enough to try and take them on when he was outsized and outnumbered.*

Litha: *playfully knocks her little brother over before resting her head on her paws* alright go on then, tell your silly tales...*stops talking as she feels her jaw cramp*

Aysel: At least I give the facts straight, Raz, but I wouldn't mind hearing your story *She said, her maw twitching to give a smirk at the boy, not feeling she had won a victory against him just yet, but knew she'd have her chance. She had heard Regnad and glanced over at the others.* Did they just walk in? Are their parent's talking with my father?

Iyaroak: *He was watching the scene, sitting with his back against the trunk of a tree hidden some feet off.*

Regnad: Alone. *shakes head slightly, trying not to draw attention to herself from the others, postulating quietly to Aysel* Lost?

Raz: Meh, no-one wants to hear my story anymore. D| *huffs as sigh as he picks himself up from the ground after Litha nudges him over* Well alright, Ignis Renatus, let's hear your story! And you should be the ones being careful, 'cause we train really awesome hunters and killers here that could beat you up. So I hope it's a good one!

Litha: *growls at her little brother and cuffs him for daring to spill training secrets to another pack*

Sidhiel: *plops down on Daeron and starts to groom him, puppy-style* Oh please do tell a story, I like good stories!

Dae: *grows in protest but puts up with the 'grooming'*

Aeri: *grins and perks up even more* All right then, I'd be happy to give you all a good story! *bites her tongue likely and trying to pull up on of the stories her mother had told her* Oh I know I good one! *wiggles in excitement* High in the mountains there used to be a huge pack, lead by a glorious king and he had many, many followers all of whom adored him, but he was power-hungry; he wanted more land for his pack you see. He'd made a pact with another pack just over the river that they would never go to war over land, but as time passed he broke that pack, lying to his followers claiming the other pack had broken the pact and had made the first advances. *eyes grow wide* The war carried on many years, many were killed on both sides, even the great kings sons fought within the war. But the eldest found out about his fathers lie and went to him, calling him out. The king didn't like this, oh no. The king was furious that his son would do this to him. So they fought a terrible fight, his son lost; but just barely. Unable to kill his son and to make him a better example he exiled his son from the pack and when he was gone he sent assassins after him to kill him. Not long after the king was killed in the war and his next eldest son took over the war and finally ended it. He called back his elder brother who returned after a year, and he took over the pack as king; his rightful place finally fulfilled and the pack returned to it's former glory. *holds her head up happily with her story*

Aysel: *Too distracted by Raz, she hadn't responded back to Regnad. She had the same reaction as Litha, pawing at Raz's face as to express her dislike* Hey. You can't say that stuff to just anyone. Think before you open your mouth. *She stopped and looked to Aeri as she told her story, her expression interested*

Regnad: *holds back a small impulse to stick her tongue out at Raz, contenting herself to sitting down and keeping watch over the travelers, especially that lynx. For a moment she thinks she spies a cloaked figure in the shadows and freezes, eyes wide with open fear - but then the pup realizes that it's only the alpha's brother and gives a sigh of relief*

Raz: OWHEYWHATWASTHATFOR. *scowls at Litha, rubs head* I wasn't gonna say nothing! Jeez! *grumbles as he listens to the girl's story, remaining surprisingly quiet until she was finished, at which point he yawned* And they didn't have names? What about the queen? I don't think she'd be sitting back letting this all happen. Who sent the assassins? You said "he" twice and moved on, so that was confusing - and that wouldn't have happened if they had names. >:

But otherwise, um, nice story I guess?

Sidhiel: *blinks at Raz and then back at Aeri, slightly curious as well to the lack of names and the absence of the queen*

Dae: *sighs, but was fairly entertained by the story*

Aeri: *scoffs* I wasn't told any names, and I asked about the Queen too when my Momma told me the story, she said the queen had passed away after having a litter and only one pup survived. *growls at the Raz and turns her head away displeased with him despite him telling her it was a nice story*

Raz: Well that's convenient. >> If someone's not needed in a story, they die, huh? It could use some polish, but hey; not bad for making it up on the spot, I guess. *mini shrug* So, Ignis Renatus peeps, tell me you have names I can use.

Sidhiel: *perks up giggling* I'm not in Ignis Renatus...I don't even know where that is. But I'm Sidhiel and this is Daeron! *licks Dae across the face*

Dae: *nods his head* Yup...I live with a bunch of crazies...

Aeri: My name is Aerithe, my Momma named me, her name is Kearith and my Papa's name is Gaara. *holds her head up proudly again*

Regnad: *A loner /and/ a pack member? Cripes . . . That sounded unrelated, yet here they were together. Reggie remains suspicious and quiet*

Raz: Never heard of them. *ignores her given pride and turns to this Sidhiel with a grin* You're alone, huh? Pretty scary out there even with your family. You look like you need someplace to stay.

Sidhiel: *giggles* Oh no, we're very good. We have no worries, worst thing I've ever had trouble with was a big ol' snake that I saved Daeron from. Right, right?

Dae: *nods* Yeeaaah other than that everything is quiet besides her sisters constant yipping. ~____~

Aeri: *shrugs, it was his loss and not her problem*

Aysel: I thought it was a nice story for being as short as it was. It didn't need all of those details. Anyway, *she looked back to the others, receiving their names* Pleasure to meet you. I'm Aysel.

Iyaroak: *Heaving off the tree, the cloaked wolf swayed before settling still, looking about the group. Finally deciding to join in, he sat back a foot or two from the group, eying each of them, but his expression didn't betray his emotions* Mind if I join in?

Regnad: *Remains a little edgy nonetheless, finding any form of cloak semi-distasteful to look at, and keeps her eyes averted, her posture submissive, her ears still quite alert in case others decided to show up - like their parents*

Raz: Yeah, brah, come in! *scoots over, intentionally bumping into Regnad and secretly pleased with the glare she gave him before removing herself from his touch* Just missed a story Aerithe told. Apparently she's from Ignis Renatus, and the other chick Sidhiel's with Dae and her family in no-wolf's land. *Shows off his oh-so-awesome memory skills of remembering what was just spoken a minute ago*

Aysel: *She stared at Raz, disappointed he had gotten to her uncle before she had the opportunity to explain the situation.*

Iyaroak: *Seeming to sense Regnad's discomfort he lightly he gave her a smile, the gesture placid, but meaningful enough as it was a rare expression from the older wolf. Raz however caught his attention with his forwardness, unsure if he cared for the title of "brah", but let it slide as he listened to him.* Ignis Renatus? You're quire far from your pack, aren't you? *He said, looking at Aerithe. Shifting, he stared at the others as well* And No-landers? Tomkin certainly is lively today. And not with grave backdoor dealings; I'm actually pleased. So there were stories being told? How unfortunate of me to have missed them. If I may ask, does anyone have any they'd like to share?

Nukilik: *slips back among the group and let's his eyes sweep over them all comitting them to memory*

Regnad: *while her head is slightly hung, she catches sight of the alpha's son coming back quietly into the picture, having said as few words as she had - in fact, less than that today! She wondered what was his deal was for being quiet . . .*

Sid: Well yes, but I have Dae with me so I'm not really alone and I'm not that far from home.

Dae: If you say so...you're mother is going to be quite displeased when you get back.

Aeri: *shifts her eyes* Well...yes I am...but I wanted to explore and I wandered a good bit further than expected. But I can take care of myself, and I'll make it back to my pack just fine!

Raz: O hai~ Well I hope you can, because it'd suck to have more puppy deaths and steals. Kinda happened recently ar - I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING. o3o;;;; *suddenly shuts up*

Regnad: *this is because a very hurt Reggie stepped hard on his tail from behind, glaring silent daggers at Raz's stupid blabber mouth*

Litha: *snarls softly through her muzzle and managed to n** a bit of her little brothers skin*

Nukilik: *eyes Raz sharply but instead of trying to silence him decides to wait and find him later for a little....talk*

Raz: *actually looks bad for talking out of turn that time and shifts on his paws self-consciously and taking Litha's punishment without so much as a wincing sound, though his eyes conveyed as much*

Regnad: *eyes swim with tears despite herself, still quite raw about the topic, and excuses herself without a word to go take a breather, blinking back the tears as she padded away*

Sidhiel: O.O P-puppy-nappin's? *clings to Dae*

Dae: *gags* Well you better get your Furry but headed home then shouldn't you? ~___~

Sidhiel: Yay yay...Umm...we better go... *gets up nudging Daeron* We had fun though! Thanks for letting us hear your story! Bye everyone! *starts off followed by Daeron*

Aerithe: *puffs up* I'll be fine, no one will take me, I'll tear them to pieces before they could take off with me. But I better get going too...it's a long way home.*stands and heads off in a different direction from Sidhiel back towards Ignis*

Raz: *more subdued* Oh, um, yeah, sure . . . See you guys a-around maybe? *ears dock when he catches Nuk's sharp look, having a feeling that he was in for some talking to*

Aysel: *she glared at Raz as well, but didn't add anything to his scolding but a muttered* Novice.

Iyaroak: *He was listening all the while, perking at the talk of pup-nappings. There were rumors, but having never seen the pups he hadn't been so sure. Whatever the case, he didn't trust Bijou and he doubted his brother did as well. All of it was suspect.*
