Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I heard you, tough pup." she answered back playfully, still looking at the older wolf. "Ok, if he isn't going to hurt me...why did he come over here?" she asked in a threatened tone, but didn't wait for an answer. She ran straight for him, as fast as she could. Apperantly too fast, as she slipped on some snow and slid to the wolf's feet.

Instead of getting back up and attacking like her original plan, she stayed where she ahd fallen and started to laugh again. She rolled around, making a small circle around Tobias. She got up and ran to Kamali, trying to stop suddenly in front of him, where she lost her balance and ran into him.

"My name's Ona." she giggled crawling off from where she had fell on him.

Rha...and Tobias had run off as well! By the energy they were giving off Lera could tell they weren't in any kind of dangerous siutation, but she hoped they would return very soon, just beyond this brooke lied their new home.

Lera rolled, craned her neck back, and let out a familiar howl, calling out to Tobias and Kamali. Her howl was strong, melodious, and soothing.

Suuru kept along with the pack, his wings easily sailing upon the drafts of wind that rose to meet him. His own mind was elsewhere, back in the southern lands. He longed for peace again. To sit on his log and watch his master and his mate bound through the waters happily again. No more false rumors of madness, no more pain and hurt. Just the sun and the forest again. These woods had only showed him that life was unfair... he looked to the little pup being carried. No doubt the crow's master was being used as the example of what not to be- he'd heard his name spoken to him by many many wolfs in the few hours he had been there watching over this pup. They didn't understand and instead of focusing on why the faults were there, they used them to drive fear into the young's mind. They should have focused on their own miscomings and weaknesses rather than obsessing over those of others. Lexi and Gaara were the evil ones, Suuru's master had never committed murder before like them... and with such cold malus. The crows who had been in the area were not shy on the details. It was cold murder of a youth... something that those above didn't favor in the least. They were the mad ones, the monsters, the ones pups should learn not to be like.

He scowled at his own thoughts, turning his head to take in the surroundings as best he could. They really weren't moving out as far as some of the other packs were, it was quite close to the river- following one of her outer arms that wound through the woods. Far enough from the humanlings at least. No traps were placed out here. The pups would be safe enough. He longed to speak with Gizmo... to tell him things from where he had seen them. To hear a story from two sides would give the listener more details. The points that overlaped would be factual and the rest would be up to him... even more he wished to bring his master in to talk to the pup... repay him for the kindess that he had shown him. With a sigh he extended his feet and caught a bare branch, letting it groan and sway under the new weight he had imposed upon it. He was still going to follow after the pup but he needed a rest and to clear his mind.

Lera still laid next to Gizmo, being to exhausted to move. Her face said that she was anxious, thye needed to keep moving, they needed to make a den and soon. She could feel like moving around inside herself, and wish that the pack could recroup and be on the move once again. She licked a paw, waitinf for the return of the rest of her pack.

((leanhugs Kou)) heart

Lexi, since the insident with the crow, has 'kept her head down' metaphoricly...keeping watch around the borders of the pack and staying close to Gaara, Haku, Lera or Carmen, watching the pups carefuly to make sure they stay out of trouble, but largely not interacting with them. Every time she catches the scent of the crow Suuru, she growls softly, but says nothing, knowing Lera herself is more likely to be able to deal with the threat of the birds mischeif if it tries to cause trouble.
Still, no matter what the pups think of her, and as much as their opinion wounds her, she's determined to protect them, and expecially to protect the growingly pregnant Lera. The pups may seem to lack the deep instinct she finds so natural, that she trusts so deeply, but it won't prevent her from using it to their best interests. She sighs as she finds a spot within watching distance of Leera and lays down, sniffing the woods again to be certain of threats. Her nightmares, which once had almost vanished, have woken her with a yip at least once lately, although in them, the dark amorphous shape that she remembered haunting her, has lately begun to take on a more solid shape.

Lexi looks up startled as Haku curls up nest to her, and then relaxes again, her eyes hezitantly warming.
"It does matter to me." She says. "Thank you..." It makes her feel strangely at home in a way she hasn't for a long time to be curled up next to another wolf, like she remembers being so long ago in her birth packs den with her little mates. "It means very much..."

Two days had come and gone and the pack had travelled, stopping in short intervals.Lera was tired, and wanted to seek the comfort of her own den, whyioch was now nonexistant. She longed to move into the new territory and could not wait much longer. She gave a short whine before standing. She looked to Carmen and gave a grin and a tail wag and then to Haku and Lexi. She understood that Lexi sought comfort, and she understood Haku's actions; as Leradien herself oftened did the same thing with Gaara.

"Haku, we must be on the move once again," she reminded him.

((Oliv, Leth, and Strawberry: Instead of leaving kam and the others behind can we just say that they followed the rest of the pack across the river? because it's important that we get settled in there soon e0e if there's a problem then just...tell me or something and we'll make crap up xD Ona can just tag along if she wants n_n ))

Lera gladly accepted when Haku moved close to her. She felt protected, strangely enough, and that led to comfort. She moved side by side, occasionally moving her head up to give a small lick to his face or a nuzzle to his neck. Lera would also occasionally look back to see if the rest of the pack was following. Carmen, Gaara, and Lxi were not far behind, not where the pups (considering they were carried most of the way). Lera kept a comfortable pace as they moved along the back.

She stopped as she reached another crossing point. This corssing was a smaller branch of the main river, and could be easily crossed by adults and pups alike. Stepping across this small river they would come to their new territory.

Lera promptly crossed, the chill water feeling good on her tired feet.
