((For Tweek and/or Nikui and/or Thalion, whenever we need this fer ... whatever we may need it fer... -pokes it-))
Devvyl had spent the last several suns pondering over the situation he'd recently found himself in, and still had come to no conclusion. Truly, how many hours had he lain in his small den he'd finally dug beneath the shade of an oak tree, just to end up stressing about his dilemma? He was no closer to a solution now than he was when the problem had first come up. The truth of it was that, he liked both Selia and Elphaba, and eventually he'd have to choose one of them. Whomever he chose would have to face following the orders and direction of the one that would become his alpha female, and he didn't know if either of the females would allow their pride to be broken. If it were Devvyl, he'd refuse to be a member of the pack. Devvyl didn't want to lose his friendship with one just to be closer to the other. He wanted to run freely with both at his side, with no hardships or quarrel between either of them.
And if he didn't decide, it would have to come down to a fight between them for the rank of alpha female. Devvyl wanted that even less; he hated making the two friends become enemies for him.
Ah, but Devvyl wanted to just run away.
He sighed, and flopped over on his side in the small den he'd dug. It was in the side of a small hill of dirt, and an oak tree grew atop the mound. Roots curled around the entrance; some of those roots had been chewed off so Devvyl could make the entrance big enough to get in and out. He was still growing; his paws showed that. He still had to grow much more to fit his gigantic paws. He'd been able to catch larger game now; an occasional deer, several rabbits, a prarie dog perhaps. He was growing more in weight and build than in height and length, though he would eventually become much taller. He was becoming stronger; he would be no small wolf when he was finished growing, and was no small adolescent now.
((Eh, I'm rambling; I better stop here. x3 I don't think Elphie, Selia, or Feanaro know where his den is [or even that he's made one] so perhaps they can just... stumble onto it. Or maybe they smell him. Or whatever. xD))

Elphaba padded along the well worn deer path, her muzzle low to the ground, sifting through the familiar scents of a small herd of deer. Many of the threads of smells were old but two were fresh and one was very recent. She made a soft growling noise in the back of her throat as she latched onto the train of scent. She'd been incredibly restless the past few days, eaten alive by stress. Selia had been hurt again and she still hadn't seen Devvyl. She was frightened to think about the future, frightened to think at all, and she was becoming frustrated with that pup Yero who still needed an adult's attention. She was not as patient as her friend.
Agitated, she felt the need to take it out on something else, to dig her teeth into something big. Though she wasn't particularly hungry she'd loped off moodily for a hunt.
Suddenly something hit her--it broke her concentration. She dropped the deer's scent instantly, her insides feeling like someone had stirred her emotions up with a stick. It was Devvyl's scent.
(Elphie sounds like..PMS!Wolf ninja )

((Omigod, you have no clue how perfectly you just described my feelings last year, when I was trying to reel in the guy who eventually became my prom date. xd ))
Devvyl's head rose when a strikingly familiar scent came to him; that of Elphaba. His stomach clenched; was he ready to see her just yet? But he smelt her scent approaching; he would have to be ready.
But for those last few minutes of silence, at least... he stretched out, his back against the back of his den, which wasn't quite big enough for two just yet, looking like a pitiful hound who had just been sent to the dog house.
And hoping he'd be able to relax his facial features by the time Elphie tracked him to his den, so she wouldn't see a pained expression on his face when she got there. >>

[] Tweek! :3 you Gotta play Yero for meee. And, is it okay if Feanaro joins in here too? o.o Cause Selia is expecting him to be in the pack. -Somehow has Selia in two different places. - []
She rested near the edge of the river, her lower half drenched in the cool running water to help calm her burn abused flesh. Sighing against the warm sand...a shudder running through her form. Slowly, she willed herself to stand up, and limp towards the scent of her den...which she hoped wasn't taken over by another wolf and/or other creature of the woods they lived in. She hadn't seen any of her friends lately...Except Feanaro, of course. But she was trying not to get him into anymore trouble, since the last incident they were in was...quite a problem.
She toppled over, her wounded leg brushing against a tree with a whimper. Getting herself back to her feet, she looked back towards her wound...sighing.

(( xd Seduction is a painful process! And one that I haven't really mastered. *coughcough* ))
She stepped out from the grove and towards the oak tree. Her luminous eyes snapped to Devvyl's form and she paused for a moment. Her throat felt dry. She felt like shaking her head to clear her mind, and took a breath, holding it.
He's just like before! I'm just like before! She snapped to herself internally. He just happens to know..things.
She stepped forward, though her tail was still a little drooped in hesitation. "Hey," Maybe she'd thought about trying to sound casual, but she'd given it up. Her voice sounded exhausted and not a little sheepish. Hunkering down onto her haunches she slid her front paws out until her chest touched the ground with a 'flumph'. She managed a weak smile. Weird feelings or not, she was happy to see her friend.

(( x3 Sure thing, Nikui. Hopefully no one will mind leetle tag-a-long Yero.. n.n;; Aw c'mon! He can be the tolken precocious soap kid! *plots* Now Selia and Devvyl have to get married and Yero has to be the smart alec little boy who has territory problems with his new 'dad'..then Devvyl teaches him how to play baseball and they all live happily ever after! omg!!!11!! ))
Yero perched on the rock beside Selia, watching her silently. He had seemingly appeared out of nowhere. It was little creepy, the quiet pup's habit of showing up with no warning. His bizaare red eyes didn't help his image either. "Are you feeling any better?" He whined to Selia. His eyebrows were arched in question, his tail wagging, the rest of his small body disconcertingly immobile.

((Yeah, that's fine. I edited it to include Thal. xD And yeah, guys can be infuriating at times. >>))
Devvyl scented Selia somewhere not far off. He sighed. Why did they always arrive together? It was ironic, that. When what he really needed to do was to talk to one at a time, alone.
He crawled out of his den and saw Elphaba standing outside. Rising to a sitting position, he forced his ears forward and put on a happy expression.
He was truly happy to see her... only confused, and a bit anxious, of what might happen next.
Hey, he replied, in much the same manner that Elphaba had.

She canted her ears towards him, her smile broadening a little as some of the tension eased. "..How've you been? Haven't seen you for a while." Her tail curled about her haunches. "I--" She stopped, not sure what she had been planning to say. Her eyes widened a little in surprise as her train of thought vanished. Nevermind that, she had better things to say. "Selia's been hurt.." Her ears folded back as she lay her muzzle on her paws. She could smell her friend on the air now. She didn't know how Selia's company would affect the situation, but she was happy she was coming towards them. Truthfully she was a little worried about her friend.

Devvyl did not want to seem like he cared more for Selia than he did for Elphaba, but Elphie's comment made his ears swivel backwards in concern for his friend. What happened? he asked.

"Apparently she and Faenaro had a run in with the bad tribe of two-legs." The brown wolf said with an absentminded mix between a growl and a whimper; a high pitched gravelly sound of discontent. It was bad news for all the wolves. Elphie had always though of the land across the land as safe new territory, with plentiful game and the occasional peaceful human. But now the paler ones were moving upstream..

Devvyl let out a growl, something that was really an angry, incoherent mumble. He'd never personally met any two-legs, but he'd heard enough about them from other wolves and from his mother that he had no intention of ever meeting one. ((Possible plotness! o.o)) Is she all right? He supposed he'd find out; as Selia's scent was drawing closer, but he wanted to know, and he wanted to know now.
Then he wondered if Elphaba had been there as well. And what about you? Are you all right?

"She was hit in the leg with one of their sharp stones. I think she got it out." Elphie batted briefly at her muzzle with a paw, as a human might rub their temple. "I'm worried." She admitted, focusing her gaze on the forest. "I think she'll be alright but..it scares me."
((Woah! This hat gives me disembodied hair! xD))

((Er. I'll just post anyways. -is bored- XD))
Devvyl could barely smell Selia anymore, so he assumed she had turned away. Perhaps she'd heard or smelled Devvyl and Elphie here already and had decided not to interrupt them? He hoped she wasn't making assumptions, but as much as he wanted to see his other friend again, he was glad that he and Elphaba would have the chance to talk alone.
I'm glad you're okay, Elphie, he told her, and he rose and took a step closer to her. But not too close... he was still not sure who he would end up choosing, and he didn't want to lead anyone onto a false assumption. His friends would only end up getting hurt worse that way.
Elphaba... I want you to know that I really like you too. He wan't done by any means, but he paused in his speech to see if she would reply.

(( o.o Was I supposed to repost? XD *is stupid* ))
Under her thick coat Elphaba flushed. Her pulse accelerated unsteadily and she folded her ears back flat. It gave her sharp features a sobered look, meek and docile, a little out of place on her. She locked her eyes on his, saying after a moment. "I--never really wanted you to be in this position." She furrowed her brow hesitantly. "I just..wanted you to know."
