Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lera wtached as Carmen ran off, and continued to lay there, catching her breath. Carmen returned with a bounty of prey, snow shoe hares. Lera licked her jaws hungrily, not quite sure if they were intended for her or not but when Carmen laid them down next to her Lera couldn't stop herself. She gulped them down hungrily with lightning speed. Yet she didn't want to seem inconsiderate or greedy and so she left most of the last one, in case Carmen was hungry. Lera whined when she saw Carmen's wound on her nose, but there wasn't much she gould do.

"Oh?" Lera asked, intrigued at what Carmen had found, which could quite possibly be a suitable den side. She slowly rose, a little achy, and it took a lot of effort. "Show me," she asked, ears forward in curiosity.

Lera wolfed down the rest of the rabbit carcass before following after Carmen. She kept up the steady pace, keeping close to the she-wolf and keeping her defenses around her risen. When they arrived Lera was surprised that she could not distinguish where the entrance of the den was. Lera could hear water nearby; but the water was not visible, the foliage was thick and gave Lera a feeling of privacy. So far so good!

First she put her head through, and then her whole body. Lera felt that she would dig a tunnel from this larger entrance; furthur into the earth; but this was definatly suitable.

She backed out looking to Carmen and nodding, "This is absolutely wonderful, I thank you," she said before morving over to Carmen to help clean up that nasty rabbit bite. It wasn't long before she scurried back itno the small hole, and scratching sounds could be heard. She had begun to tunnel her was thorugh the back most wall of the small 'room.' dirt would occasionally fly out of the main entrance, but lera was pretty good at packing the dirt into the sides of the walls, too much dirt on the outside would stand out. Lera dug in a slightly upward motion; intinct told her to do this so water would not down into the area where her pups would be. It was dark, yet Lera knew where she was going.

((poor KamKam *pets him* ;-; ))

Lera was forever thankful for Carmen's help. She was wise and knowledgable. She continued digging for a long while. It was sunset by the time she had finnished. The skycontained bright hues of orange and pink, with blue and purple. She sighed, watching the sky and hearing the call of the night birda approaching. She had dirt smeared over her face, a full belly, and a deer feeling of satisfaction. Lera dissapeared back into the den, crawling up the short tunnel and into the main den area. She would skurry around, taking the rough dirt off of the side of the walls and making them smoothe as possible. It was warm and comforting and Lera found herself on the verge of sleep. Lera hadn't gone back to the pack, and hoped that would be alright without her, or wouldn't begin to panick if they found her gone. Lera picked a comfy spot and began to doze off, exausted from their long journey, and thankful for Carmen's presence.

At first, Ona didn't feel like following the pack she had found. She only knew one pup in this pack and some of the adult females now scared her as much as the adult females. Plus, she wanted to stay close to where her parents told her to stay, in case they came back. The crow, however, caught her interest.

She followed well behind the pack, far enough not to be seen but close enough to see the crow. She like the birds of blue that sang around in the mornings, but she had never seen a bird as black as this one. Wishing she could talk to it, she yipped quietly, trying to get its attention. With it's departure, Ona saw that the pack was now seperating happily. Are they going to feast now? she thought, scanning th area. Only during feasts had she seen a wolf as happy as some of these were.

Searching for Kamali, she went into a nearby bush and watched the area with much interest.

Ona jumped out and dived to tackle the pup. "I followed the black bird that was following you." she giggled, then looked around with Kamali. Nodding to his question with a happy smile like grin on her muzzle, she replied "Yes, we're the only ones left. My parents took me away when a new pack leader was chosen...it was horrible after he won...what he started to do with the pups scared my parents...," with a shudder she continued, "I'm not worried though, they said they'd be back soon..."

Shaking off the last question, trying to get the memory to dissapear. "Anyway, why'd you guys stop?" asking eagerly in an excited, confused tone.

Tobias drowsily awoke from his slumber, eyes opening to reveal the strange pup with Kamali. He watched for a bit before rising onto his lethargic legs, stretching, and walking over to see what was going on. The pup seemed to be quite a hyper little thing!

"You're still here?" he remarked, not trying to sound unkind. "Do you have a pack?" He wonderedif Haku would allow yet another pup into the pack.

Startled by the wolfs words, Ona gave a small jump and tumbled off the rock. Falling on her rump, she looked at Tobias and tilted her head. "I can stay and play, but my parents decide if we go in a pack," she stated matter of factly, "Besides, who said I want to be in your pack?" she said right after, attempting the same stunt on him as on Kamali.

((Ok, I have to go. RP Later tonight maybe ^^))

Tobias smirked at the small pup's comment.

"Who said I was asking you to be in our pack, little one? I just wondered if you had one." He sat on the ground and watched as Ona circled him, wondering what on earth she was doing. He smiled. Perhaps it was one of her pup-ish antics? Ah, to be a pup again...
