Oathkeeper: *<33 on the pups* It has been so long since I have seen little ones.

Jaya: (the girl) -sniffs at Oathkeeper and backs towards her daddy, looking confused- ?

Lalita: -barks at Oath for a moment before feeling daddy standing over him and grins-

Sway: Their mother isn't coming back.

Oathekeeper: I see. Well . . . *tilts her head a little to view the pups, still smiling in a motherly fashion* We will all take care of you. I am Oathkeeper, little ones. *Her ghostly appearance might appear frightening, hence the soft voice*

Jaya: -stays right where she is near daddy- I'm.... Jaya.

Lalita: -puff his chest out and walks up to her, wanting to touch noses- I'm Lalita.

Oathkeeper: *Indeed gently touches noses with him* Jaya and Lalita, then. If you would like, I could show you around the pack grounds with your father. It is a bit of a walk to cover from one end to the other, but I am more than happy to help carry you.

Winner - Lovely...more whelps...

Hero - I think they're cute

Winner - you would, your about as useless as they are.

Jaya: U-uhm... OK?

Lalita: -grins as they touched noses and then nods- Yeah, yeah! ....Momma just dropped us in front of dad and left without saying anything. Are we living here?

Abyss: *glances at the pups, not thrilled at all to have them in the pack* They had best not interrupt my beauty sleep

Oathkeeper: *hears the bickering duo behind her and addresses them without turning her head* You may certainly help me with the tour if you like, Hero, Winner. *back to the pups* If your father wishes to stay here, you are more than welcome. *And now turning her head to look to Abyss with a little chuckle* The Realm is vast enough that I am sure you can find a secluded spot near the Timeless River away from such noise.

Winner - *snorts* That..is unlikely to happen. Waste of time showing pups around, they won't be allowed to go half the place ya show em anyways, I have more important things to do. *he declared before trotting off with a contemptuous look*

Hero: *Ignores the surly wolfs retreat and doesn't seem to notice Abyss' dislike of the pups* Of course! I'm already ready to help! *eyes brighting in over eager joy*

OWA: *watches the pups from afar...it'd been a long time since he'd seen little ones*

Abyss: Of course I can find a secluded spot at the Timesless River! *she said somewhat rudely, it was like Oath didn't think Abyss knew the river existed. Turning her attention to the pups* Here that, stay away from my sanctuary! *her tone was a bit harsh but Abyss was that way with any wolf that dared enter her watery domain.*

Oathkeeper: *Just smiles goodnaturedly at Abyss, more than used to her brusque nature* The river is large, Abyss - a domain can only encompass so much. And thank you, Hero, it would be much appreciated. And . . . ah, Owa! Come come, we have little ones to introduce you to! *She always seemed brighter around puppies*

Owa: *lays his ears back for a moment and licks his nose before nodding and making his way over* Morning to you OathKeeper. *bows his head a bit in respect and eyes the pups with his bright cyan eyes*

Hero: "I'm sure they won't be allowed in the water anytime soon Abyss" He soothed her - water was dangerous for puppies wasn't it? He eyed Oath for confirmation of this.

Oathkeeper: No, not for another two weeks or so, I would think. *Not that she would know the proper age to teach a pup to swim; her own puphood was but a collection of memories that evaded her at times now* At ease, Owa, I am not as much my title and rank as you would think. *At the least he was coming to socialize a bit with the others, and that was always a step in the right direction towards rebuilding the pack*

DP: Best keep them away from the water...it's dangerous...too dangerous until their much older and taught to swim...

Owa: *nod* Sorry, hard to pull oneself out of formalities at times...*smiles crookedly at the pups* And who might these two be? They don't resemble anyone I know from the pack. *tilts his head*

Hero: "There you see?" He told Abyss as both Oath and DP confirmed what he had thought. "you don't have to worry for quite some time yet. Hello Owa!" He greeted the stand offish wolf cheerfully.

Abyss: *glances at DP, finally someone who seemed to have some common sense when it came to water and pups* Damn right it's dangerous. *she agreed with DP, though it was more for the sake of keeping the pups out of her sanctuary than anything else. Glares at Hero slightly* Whether they enter now or later isn't the true issue. I know they will just mess things up once they enter the water.

Oathkeeper: Ah yes. See, their father only came recently to the pack. From what I have gathered, the pups were dropped off by a female. The father, Sway, is now their sole custodian, though of course I am hoping the pack will aide in their care.

Pumpkinhead: *creeps right up beside his mother, tail wagging* Pupses! 8DDD Fall culurz with swirlz. Not very pretty. But bright eyes!

Sway: -listening and finally hears his name-

Jaya: -totally oblivious, walks up to Abyss and sniffs-

Lalita: -running around Oath in circles-

Abyss: *steps away from the curious pup* Careful! You will mess up my fur if you get to close. *gods she disliked pups*

Oathkeeper: *laughs a little as the young male bounds about her legs; perhaps two new lives to take care of would help liven the spirit up here - be it positive or negative* If you can keep up with them at least. *Keeps an eye on the girl as she approaches Abyss*

Pumpkinhead: Oooooo, girl wants to get eated by mean water lady! *plops down to watch gleefully*

Lalita: -laughs and wanders toward Hero and the others- I'm Lalita.

Jaya: -whines and shrinks back, ears lowered and scrambles under her dad-

Oathkeeper: ^^; Abyss, a bit more gentle with the young ones if you would? The message was understood.

Pumpkinhead: *laughs his little head off, jack-o-lantern jiggling and eyes a'twinkling* Stupid pup is stupid! Mean water lady not likey nobody~ But no bloodz dis time. Awww . . . *Not that he sought out bloodshed himself, no, but it was still funny to watch others get hurt*

Hero: Aw but look at them! Such cute little things...and no mother? I know how that is, they'll be fine in the pack! I was! *Hunched his head down to peer at the pups even as Abyss stepped away* they look fluffy..is fluffy normal for pups?

Abyss: Oh calm down Oath, I was far from harsh with them. *she could have easily shoved the pup away instead of simply telling her to leave*

Sway: -looks to Abyss with narrowed eyes and nuzzles Jaya before looking and glaring a Pumpkin- And if I see any blood on them.... Well, an eye for an eye. -looking with his one good eye before looking to the one asking about fluffiness- Yes.

Jaya: -sniffles a bit, feeling more hurt from being called stupid than anything and swallows-

Lalita: -bounds towards his sister without a second thought when he heard her sniffle-

Oathkeeper: Then you know mercy when it is necessary. That is always good to know, especially when you insist upon being so unapproachable usually. *Somehow manages to turn that mini incident into something positive to look at and nods at Abyss with a little smile, though it quickly drops when she turns to address Pumpkinhead* Pumpkinhead, that is hardly something to say to a newborn. Please apologize.

Pumpkinhead: Whaaaaaaat? I'z was just sayin'. *snorts. DP had indeed spoiled him* I didn't touch no hair - make mean lady apologize! no, make mean dad 'pologize, he say he wans my shiny! *That being his eye* Pumpky only say what he saws. Puppy like fall leaf - too thin and crack! Breaks!

Oathkeeper: All the same, I want you to apologize for calling her stupid. She is only just learning.

Pumpkinhead: And she learn hard way! *stubborn; ooooh, he hated giving apologies*

Owa: *gives a low growl, even he had the knowledge that pups learned, but there was no need to over harshness with them. They need be protected and kept from hard, not pup in its way as so that they would learn*

Sway: -sighs and lays down, going back to just watching-

Jaya: -stretches against her daddy, going to be antisocial for now-

Lalia: -snorts a bit-

Oathkeeper: I think it best to leave the three alone for now, they have had quite some attention. Pumpkinhead, I expect you to apologize by the end of the day to Jaya. Words are more powerful than you think.

Pumpkinhead: Hmph. *looks at Jaya* Saaaaaaaaaawreeeeeee. >> *though it's clear his heart isn't in it; prances off before Oath can reign him in again*

Abyss: I will be more than happy to leave them alone as long as they do the same for me. *gives the pups one last look to let them know she means business and turns, padding off to her sanctuary in search of more shells*

Jaya: -doesn't say anything back, opting to go to sleep-
