 It was a windy. But peaceful day at the boneyard. The dirt and dust swirled. The trees, as usual when its windy, danced. The pack did their jobs. Trying to make the pack a better place. But one wolf, one wolf didn't do anything. He yawned, blinking slowly. "Hmmm.. What does Jesters do when they have anyone to make jokes to..." He walked in a circle. "Its better than nothing.."
His Pack Alpha, Irons, was a hard nut to crack. Kei's goal.. MAKE IRONS LAUGH! He wrote in the dirt with his nail. "Impossible... He said he'll kill me if I made him laugh.. which is weird.. Thats probably why the pack is dead... DEAD IN HOMUR!!" He laughs to himself. Kicking a rock, then he saw two, then three. Why not juggle? Because last time he juggled the fruit fell on his head, he doesn't want that to happen again. But it was to make Irons laugh. He starts to juggle, then balanced on one foot. "Haha!! I got something goin'!!"

 "Kei, what are you doing?" Came the deep sigh or Irons, Kei's pack Alpha. Though Kei was one of the few wolves that didn't annoy him when he tried to be funny, Irons had never laughed at one of Kei's jokes. Sure, he had been amused. He was frequently by Kei, which was why he had never really lost his temper with the wolf, but he had certainly never laughed.
That had been drilled out of him when he was much younger than Kei. But again, it didn't hurt to let Kei try. It uplifted the spirits of the pack, and if it didn't make Irons laugh, then it certainly made the other members give the occasional chuckle. That was why Kei amused him so much. He made the pack run more... smoothly.

"Well look what we got here... Its the dead soul Irons!" He laughed and threw the rocks in the bushes. Before walking over to his Alpha, he shook himself to give him a fresh... look... "Well.. How is the leader going?" He laughs. "Let me guess... The has been boring... overwhemling? The usual?"
Stratching, he tried not to get to ahead of himself. or his head is off. His jokes are humorous enough not to hurt someone's feelings. He knows how to control his jokes, just like his father tought him.

Irons just nodded a little, "Actually, I've been watching over our darling new Shaman... she's just a little bundle of trouble that one." He looked over his shoulder, as if watching for her. True, he didn't trust her, but he did trust his pack, and Kei had always been loyal to him, as had his family before the war.
True, Kei sometimes went a little far with his jokes, but he knew how to keep secrets and how to make Irons look good when nessesary. Irons had his own ways of relying on Kei, just like he did all the other members of his pack, and Kei was strong. Just like the others. And that was enough.

Kei looks over Irons and looks at the new Shaman. Beautiful she was. The same pattern as he. But he always knew she was a bundle of trouble. Wondering why Irons would pick someone that he does even trust.. It doesn't fit.. But it is his choose after all..
"You know... I never questioned you but.. Why would you pick such a a bundle of trouble.. Or should I say trouble maker, to be our Shaman? I mean.. Tis is your choose... Not going against it.. But trouble makers should be doing the dirty work.." He evily grined. Ever time Irons is even with the Shaman, they argue. It was annoying, for both the pack and themselves.

Irons grinned in his ever so evil, ever so Irons way, "Unfortunatly, Kei, the Bones Pack does have the spirits of the Bones to appease. Even though I don't like her, all the other Shamans, Priests and Priestesses are dead, which means we have to take what we can get. No, I don't like her, but without her this pack will have angry spirits to deal with on top of everything else, and I won't allow that. No. I can't allow that. Not when a personal dislike might hurt the pack."
It was true, he didn't like her, but he needed her, and he needed to protect his pack, no matter what. In that sense, he had no choice. Which he seriously did not like.

Kei understood why we made the decision. "So it was more of a need then a like... Ahh... I rather like someone then need.." He paused and chuckled. "But thats just how I am. But I don't really hate anyone here.. Wolves here are.. Okay I guess.." He mumbled. "Though.. I think you.. The great and mighty alpha should relax a little, not too much but... A little sense of humor?" He laughed.
"I mean, everyone has a sense of humor... Unless you are a walking dead soul... Then we'll have to kill you." He grins and laughs. He laughs at every joke he makes. He notice ever since he was a little pup. He tried to stop. But it is a habit to him.

"Walking dead soul, huh?" Irons stared off, giving his evil Irons grin again, "That sounds about right I suppose. But someone has to do it. The Bones Pack needs a driving force, and a strong Alpha, or it will fall to it's enemies, or to unhappy spirits. I'll look out for the pack's saftey Kei, you just need to work on keeping the other members happy. Maybe once we sort out this whole angry spirit thing, we'll all have more time to relax."
He hoped that they would, but then: He had always been a 'hope for the best, but expect the worst' sort of wolf. That was why he was the only one of all his siblings that had survived. The Bones Pack were warriors... and at least one of them needed to look at the big picture. Irons used to wish that he could relax every now and then, but it was a dream he had gotten over.

"A driving force.. A driving who gives a crap!" Kei said hurshly.. "Now.. you are the Alpha.. And as Alpha, you are the best of all of us! We are weak and counting on you and all that other crap.. But sometimes... Alpaha's need time to themselves... Doesn't matter how bad the pack is.. I think the pack is in okay condition... But then again, I'm the jester.. I can't really say what it is.. Haven't seen any unknown wolves, threats or anything..." He sighs and takes a break and contiunes. "I truly do think you need to relax or a short break.. And leave some things to us.."
Kei sighed. He actually meant every word. They probably do need to take matters in their own hands. It would probably make the pack even stronger and smarter then they already are. And on the other hand, it would give Irons a break. "I think thats the main reason you are a pain in the a**.." Kei said quickly. "But you know... someone has to be the pain... I just wish it wasn't you.." Kei rubs he's head.

Suprisingly, that actually made Irons smile a little bit and pat Kei's head, "You're a good wolf, Kei. And I trust you... but I have one too many unresolved issues to deal with. I had trouble relaxing long before I took over the Bones Pack. I don't want to let you all down like the previous alpha did. I want us to recover from the war that I caused and be strong again. I want us safe. But thank you, for worrying on my account. I trust you all to help me..." And he did, but Irons had to worry about the Shaman now. Nothing ever seemed to go just right... he needed to make sure that he could trust her, because if he couldn't, it would be his fault and the pack would be hurt even more than they would have been if he had just ignored the spirits to begin with.
Sometimes he got so sick of all this. He did need a break, but he felt like he couldn't allow it. He supposed that was why he had Kei to calm him down, and Skule to trust.

Kei sighs. This might kill Irons. All the worries, responsiblities, and have to be strong on top of that. Thats to much for one wolf to handle. And this pack is getting bigger. Kei was worried. What if they was in danger? But Irons was to crazy to think up of something? He always notice when he looks in Irons eyes. He's tired, trying to stand tall for his pack, but just want to relaxing, run around and do something that normal wolves do.
Kei pats Irons shoulder. " Hopefully.. This doesn't kill you... You maybe strong.. But your soul is WEAK! Its empty.." Kei walks like a mummy, rapped in dirty old bandages. "And I'm here to feel your soul up! With Humor! My main streght and beauty." He posed in front of Irons. "I know you want this..." He did a sexy growl and fell on his side. "Umm.. You didn't hear that.."

Irons looked at Kei as though he couldn't believe what he was hearing for a second, and then he actually did smile, "Humor up...? Yeah, that would be nice, I guess. I suppose that my soul is weak, but my will is strong, for the pack. This new bond I have formed... it is the first time that those I love have never let me down. I don't want to let any of you down, not when you're all depending on me and we're in such a fragile state. I would gladly sacrifice my soul for the first thing that has ever mattered to me. But..." he looked over, still smiling a little, "if you still wish to... how did you put it? 'Feel up my soul'? You may. It does make me happy, Kei, to know that you care. To know that you all care for my welfare."
Though of that he was not completely certain. Most of the wolves cared only for the pack, it's strength, and survival. Irons was in charge because he was the strongest, the hardest, and only had two things to fight for. Himself, and his pack, just as his mother had taught him.

Kei smiled knowing that he had a challange ahead of him. "But Why wouldn't I care? I mean.. You are a nice guy.. If I don't annoy you.." He pauses and laughs. "If we didn't care about you Irons.. We would have killed you by now.. But we wouldn't do that.." He thought.. He thought for a good long 5 minutes. Before saying something he might regret..
"Irons.. I think.. You need love... And lots of it.. Humor along can not make you any stronger.. But love and humor together, well.. It will make you stronger then you are now.." He nods. "But I can't bet anything on it.. I think no woman here likes you.." He laughs.
He thought that might be right. Love + Humor = a complete soul.. You can't have humor without love.. or love without humor.. It has to be balanced.

Irons blinked a little, "What, are you offering?" He then chuckled a little bit and looked off, "Love... I'm afraid that I gave someone all the love I had, and she took it all with her when she died. I don't have anything left to give. And no one here who would give it to me. Not in the way that I need it. So...no. I'm afraid that even if I had any love left to give, there is no one here I would give it to. I care for you all as members of my pack, but I don't love you. Not in the way that you mean."
And he didn't, nor did he intend to. He supposed that he would have to take a mate at some point, but he would not share his alpha-ship. Nor would he give that mate something that he couldn't offer. Something he didn't have. Something he didn't particularily want. Not when everyone who had ever loved him... not that anyone ever had, but after everyone who should have loved him, hadn't. Had died. He couldn't. He wouldn't. Love left him too open.

Kei sits next to him.. A puddle of tears around him. "Oh my god Irons.. That is so sad... If I was a female... I would so hug you right now.." He paused and whips away his tears. "But you can't give up... Love is everywhere! Its in the woods, in the sky.. in the water.. You just have to find the right one.. That doesn't die right away.. He coughs. "But.. I must ask... Who was.. She...? Was she your mother? He asked Irons.
Curious, he wonders what Irons mean. She... He thought it was his mother. Mothers always take all your love and then they die peacefully with it. But.. This she could be a sister... or even a Girlfriend of Irons... But a Girlfriend... Kei doubted it highly.
