March 21, Finding Gizmo! Again!
Friday_Dora
Aeria stepped cautiously into the freelands, stopping and then looking about intently. She had followed Gizmo's scent after waking and discovering he was gone, and it had led her out of the pack territory and to this point.
She sniffed the air a bit, noticing that it had grown stronger. There too were the scents of other wolves. Her ears flattened slightly out of concern. Were they enemies? Was Gizmo alright?
The young wolf began to walk slowly towards what she assumed would be a small gathering of wolves and, hopefully, Gizmo.

Kamiki
Akui stood up as the new wolf approached, sniffing the wind. "Hello there."
Friday_Dora
Aeria tilted her head curiously as the black and blue wolf greeted her. She smiled slightly and nodded. Hello. I hope I'm not interrupting anything... I'm just looking for someone.

Cheza saw a mischevious firey red and black pup darting around whilst the adults were feasting. "Hello little one. What are you called?" Cheza barked happily. She loved wee pups and hoped to have one of her own someday.
She then saw Gizmo leap over the pup which made her giggle. "How silly!"
Another lovely wolf ((Aeria)) was coming towards the gathered wolves and seemed to approach with caution. Cheza wagged her tail and lifted her head to show that she was not a threat.

Kimaria
Gizmo tugged lightly in her grasp, giving a small bark of excitement as he reached out once more to pin down her tail which was wagging to and fro. Then leaning his weight sideways he rolled over onto his side, his four legs flailing in the air as he tried to bat at her face with the pads of his paws.
Then suddenly a familiar scent touched at his nose, a VERY familiar scent. This momentarily distracted him from the game, leaving an opening for the female to get in yet another play attack.

Friday_Dora
She noticed another wolf wagging her tail. She had lovely dappled coloring and seemed to be quite friendly. Aeria wagged her tail back in response.
Ary Keeyara
"Ieshia," She told Cheza, though the sound was muffled because of the ear in her mouth. Being distracted for a few moments, Gizmo was able to pin her tail, making her yap and let go of his ear. She nipped at his paws as they were suddenly in her face. When he suddenly stopped flailing she took her opening, jumping right on top of him and grabbing a knew hold on his ear.
Sirenz
Cheza giggled at Gizmo playing with the young pup.
She bent down and tore at the tasty flesh of the deer carcus. The body was still warm as if the kill had been made recently. Perhaps a few hours befor her arrival? Cheza preferred fresh meat to bones and scraps, which she usually had to eat being an Omega wolf. Before she knew it, she had eaten so much that her stomach began to hurt so she laid down nearby. Lifting her head, she watched the other activities of the wolves around her.

Kimaria
Golden orbs widened in surprise as he glanced over and saw none other than Aeria! His heart skipped a beat and he suddenly wondered how she had found him? Would she be mad at him for leaving? He hadn't had a chance to explain to her that he had gone in search of Kam-Kam.
His stream of thoughts were interrupted as the red pup landed on him and he squirmed to break free, letting out a small squeak of surprise as her small puppy teeth clipped around his ear once more.
He parted his maw, tongue lolling as he wriggled to get free, his tail wagging madly as he rocked his body to try and throw her off balance. Oh to be beaten by a pup! What what Aeria think of him now?!

Another wolf was looking her way as Cheza basked in the sun. She stretched her body out and rolled over to meet the other's gaze.
"Hello there! I am called Cheza and I am a member of Akui and Nox's pack((i think)). What about you?

Friday_Dora
Aeria smiled at Cheza and trotted over. Hello, I'm Aeria. I'm from another pack, I was just wondering if any of you had seen...
A flash of white and brown caught her attention and she turned quickly to see Gizmo being pounced on by a red and black pup. Gizmo!

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia refused to let go, thinking they were still playing. She was completely oblivious to the fact that he wanted to get away. Continuing to tug on his ear, she pushed her weight, which wasn't much, down on him trying to make him stay still. Her tail thrashed back and forth, for she was clearly enjoying herself. Catching the sound of Gizmo being called she stopped to see Aeria. Apparently this was why Gizmo was struggling so much. With a sigh she let go, getting off of him. So much for their game.
Kimaria
Gizmo wagged his tail, glancing over in Aeria's direction with a sheepish expression, atleast she didn't seem mad with him. What? Aeria mad? Surely such a pure and innocent soul such as she could never get angry. Well he would make sure he never made her annoyed, or try his best to.
He continued to wriggle, and was quite surprised when the pup suddenly retreated, had he done something wrong?
He got up and shook his fur, pausing to glance at the red pup, You 'kay? He asked softly. We play 'gain soon. He promised, moving over to nudge at her with his snout.
He paused a moment longer before trotting the short distance to Aeria, his tail wagging as he reared up slightly, tapping at her face with an extended paw. Aeria find Gizmo! He exclaimed happily, it was so good to see her again.

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia snorted, moving away from his nudge. She walked over to the edge of the area, ears drooping. These older wolves were so boring. Reminding herself that she didn't HAVE to stay, she glanced out at the trees. Perhaps it was best if she headed off again...after all, she was full now. Her tail twitched to one side as she thought of what she could do to find something to hold her interest.
Friday_Dora
Aeria swatted back at Gizmo, laughing. I sure did! She sat down and cocked her head. So this is where you've been, off playing with puppies? she added with a smirk.
The pup that Gizmo had been playing with seemed to be rather upset that their game was over. Don't let me interrupt, I didn't mean to be an intrusion.

Kimaria
Gizmo caught his breath, moving over to press his nose against her shoulder, drawing in her scent in one deep breath. It was so good to be by her side again!
His ears dropped a little at her statement, yes he had been sidetracked from his purpose, but it had been good to forget he was getting older, to be a puppy again. Playing helped him forget his worries and his problems.
I search for Kam-Kam, met new wolf. He swung his head slowly round to regard the collection of them. You play too? He asked shyly. More the merrier...right?

Aeria nodded. She remembered Kamali going off.
Her ears perked forward. Can I? If your friend does not mind? Aeria's tail began to wag slightly.

Kimaria
Gizmo got up onto his paws and nodded, ears drawn forward to full attention before glancing over at the red pup. She certainly needed to keep her mind occupied that was for sure, had he been like that when he had been that young? He tilted his head in thought but found that he couldn't remember, all that seemed to have happened so long ago.
Me think it be fine, she like play. He nodded, and dragged his admiring gaze away from Aeria once more. She had grown into a fine young female over such a short amount of time.
He took a small step towards the pup and gave a bark, hoping she would come over, it would be good to introduce his two friends and have them all get along.

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia's ears fell back as she heard the bark. Turning her head she saw it was Gizmo. Her eyes narrowed slightly in both frustration and confusion. He was doing oogly eyes again, but this time at Aeria. Why did he do that? It was so strange! Letting out a breath she turned and loped over to him and Aeria, ears ears still twitching thoughtfully. Once she reached them she asked rather bluntly, cocking her head to one side, "Yeah...?"
Friday_Dora
Aeria looked down at Ieshia, trying to be as friendly as possible. Hi there, is it alright if I play with you and Gizmo? Her tail continued to wag.
Kimaria
Gizmo's tail wagged slowly back and forth as he lowered his head a little as the pup approached. He hoped she wasn't too mad with him for breaking off their game so early, but he hoped she would agree to another game.
At the tone in her voice however he felt his heart sink a little, and hoped that she wouldn't stay too mad at him for long.
He turned his gaze back to Aeria briefly, This be Ieshia. He spoke her name slowly, hoping he remembered it right, she 'lone but she like play, we all play game? He paused as Aeria spoke to the pup then turned his attention back to the little femme, she Aeria, you want play? You choose game to play?

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia's ear moved to one side giving her a very thoughtful expression. She glanced from Aeria to Gizmo and then back. Gizmo always seemed to look funny around the older females...almost like he was sick. Maybe he just WAS sick and didn't feel like showing it to her. After a moment longer in thinking she replied, "I'm not sure Gizmo wants to play. I think he's sick or something." She glanced at Gizmo, hearing his version of the invitation, "You shouldn't play if you're sick."
Friday_Dora
Aeria's eyes grew wide and she turned to Gizmo. Are you sick? What's wrong? It was probably something he'd caught from the new wolves. That had to be it. Yep, she should have known better than to trust those strangers.
Her upper lip curled slightly and she took a couple steps back. Maybe we shouldn't play, you know, if you're contagious...

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia blinked, her ears falling back, eyes dulling slightly. She was clearly offended and upset, for none of the wolves here had ever bared their teeth at her before. Contagious? What did that mean? Did they think she was sick? She shook her head, ears flopping slightly, "I'm not sick!"
Kimaria
If a wolf could blush then Gizmo would most likely have been bright red right now. He took the smallest of steps back, his side brushing up against Aeria as he did so. This contact casued him to jolt sideways, his head snapping up to look at Aeria as she stared at him.
He whimpered, not too sure what to do or say, and the concern in her voice caused his heart to contract violently. Then she took a step back and he lowered himself a little, gazing up at her desperately. This was all going very wrong!
N-no, Gizmo not sick! He swallowed nervously and his throat suddenly felt very dry, his eyes darting between the two females.

Friday_Dora
But she said that you were sick... Aeria looked between Gizmo and Ieshia before moving to stand next to Gizmo and nuzzle gently at his fur. You're okay then? That's good, I wouldn't want you to be sick.
Relieved but confused, Aeria looked back to Ieshia. You're not sick... I'm sorry, I was worried.

Ary Keeyara
"Well if he's not sick why does he act so funny around big girls?" Ieshia asked, her voice was lower and more careful. She couldn't shake the feeling of being unwelcome now, even if Aeria said she was sorry. Perhaps it would be best if she left now...besides, it seems, no matter how funny he acted, Gizmo would rather play with Aeria. And Aeria had bared her teeth at Ieshia...which made Ieshia feel estranged.
Kimaria
Gizmo let out a small sigh, the tension that had gathered in his muscles slowly drained away and he stood straighter, glancing at Aeria through the corner of his eyes.
What had Ieshia meant by her comment? How had he looked sick? He had a feeling in his stomach that he knew what she had seen, and let out another tiny whimper. Was he really that obvious that a little pup could tell something was up with him?
He could tell that the pup was a little startled by Aeria's reaction and he lowered himself onto his belly, peering at the youngster with a kindness in his eyes. Ieshia no worry, Aeria kindest wolf I know. His tail twitched slowly as he once again fought against an admiring glance in the females direction.
I-I act funny round girls? Gizmo stammered, ears drooping a littel at this declaration, and trying his hardest not to make eye contact with Aeria.

Friday_Dora
Aeria shrugged. I don't think you act funny. You just act like... Gizmo. His behavior seemed perfectly normal to her. It was possible that was because he was the only wolf she really spent any time with, but... it was normal. Right?
She lowered her head to Ieshia, whining a little bit. I am sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel bad. I was just confused why Gizmo would be sick.

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia found it hard to believe Aeria didn't see how funny Gizmo was acting. Her mind became more and more confused until she decided to give up. What did it matter anyway? If Gizmo wanted to act funny, he could act funny. Hearing Aeria's appology made her feel a little better, but she was still rather confused. "If he was sick, though he isn't, why would it be my fault?" She asked.
Kimaria
Gizmo stood up suddenly, shaking his fur so that it fluffed up and then gave a small bark. Time to change the subject, and the quicker the better, because sooner or later one of them was going to figure it out.
He glanced between the two before arching his back in a play bow, yawning wide as he waited for the two girls to decide on what game they wanted to play.
We play now? He asked meekly, with a tilt of his head.

Friday_Dora
I didn't say it was your fault, but it Gizmo was sick he would have caught it from somebody and-
She was interrupted by Gizmo's bark and sighed in relief. Ieshia asked lots of questions, and Aeria didn't have sufficient answers for all of them.
Yes, we can play now. What are we going to play?

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia grimaced, her ears falling back. She didn't like not having her questions answered all the way! Her tail flicked to the side in annoyance, her voice giving off that impression as well, "Fine, we can play now." Thinking of games wasn't exactly what she wanted to fill her mind with at the moment, still confused by the conversation and Gizmo's strange actions. "How about tag?" she asked, thinking of something random because she was still slightly distracted.
Kimaria
Gizmo beamed, tag was a good game indeed! He remembered the last time he had played that with Aeria, she had fallen into the water when running away, and boy she had looked adorable.
His eyes glossed over as he thought back to these memories, ones that not even a forgetful wolf like him would ever forget. Then as quickly as he had gone he returned to the real world, shaking his head and turning to glance at the females.
Tag be good game. He agreed with a wag of his tail, I it first! He loved to chase!
With a yip, he backed up a few paces before he turned around, giving them a chance to escape.

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia wrinkled her nose as she watched Gizmo get a funny look again. When was he going to stop that? Once he snapped back to his senses she heard him declare he was it. Reluctantly, she turned and loped away. Her motions were stiffer then before, betraying her current moodyness as she raced away.
Friday_Dora
Aeria yipped and turned on her heels, bounding off in the opposite direction of Gizmo. She settled into a comfortable lope, not wanting to run too fast and lose track of Gizmo and Ieshia.
Lethrossen
Kamali's long strides had taken up a quicker pase as he got closer. He wasn't paying attention low to the ground, or well.. no where near the ground. He almost fell right over Ieshia, and with a yelp, lept to the side.
"Oh.. oh I'm sorry.." he murmered quietly, eyes wide in disbelief. Was this the other wolf scent he had caught? Yes it must've. His gaze flickered around and landed on Gizmo, who was about to play.. tag he thought. "Gizmo!" He barked.

Kimaria
Gizmo waited a few moments for them to get far away enough, his thoughts wandering as he tried not to think of Aeria. It was becoming more and more difficult to get her out of his mind as of late, and he wondered whether possibly she could be...the one.
He huffed, shaking his head vigorously to clear his mind of that thought and then remembered the game. He turned around once more, letting his eyes dart about to try and locate his friends, and then he threw back his head to howl.
Then suddenly he heard a voice, a soft one but also one that he would never forget. He choked on his call and turned to face Kamali with wide-eyed amazement! It really was him!
He was torn between the desire to keep his promise to his friends and see Kam-Kam and then deicded he could do both. He dashed over, circled the pale wolf once, yipping his joy.
Kam-Kam!! You here! I be back! and with that he whirled around and began to chase, wondering who to go for first.
Ieshia appeared to be closer and with another yip he increased his speed.

Ary Keeyara
Ieshia barely noticed Kamali pop out of nowhere! Letting ou a yip she darted to the side to avoid being run over, her paws gaining very clumsy foot hold on the ground, causing her to tumble over head first. When she had stopped rolling she was sprawled out on the ground. She peeked her golden eyes open before pushing herself up again, her body aching slightly, "Owe...."
Lethrossen
Kamali's gaze went back to the little, female pup, and he looked embaressed, "are you alright?" He asked, hesitantly. He did not want to play tag, that was for sure. He wasn't much into the playing of games, as Gizmo had pointed out once, when they were puppies.
"Gizmo you grew.." he stated, watching them play.
"Gizmo you grew.." he stated, watching them play.
Kimaria
His eyes widened as the pup lost her footing suddenly and he skidded to a halt, tumbling forwards in a clumsy manner and almost rolling head over heels. He had stopped a meter or so ahead of the pup and raised his head to glance at her.
Was she okay?
He was relieved to see her get up and smiled a little at her complaint, remembering all too well his own clumsiness that hadn't really ever left him.
He shook himself, grimacing at the dirt now covering his usually white fur and parted his jaws in a wolf equivelent to laughter. Then with an exciteable jolt he pounced over to the ruby coloured pup, reaching out to tap at the pup on the top of her head. You run fast! He panted cheerfully.
Then he eased himself up to stare at Kamali once more and nodded, Kam-Kam grew too, you find what look for? Then shaking himself once more he padded over to the green wolf, going to lay close to him and resisted the urge to yawn.
What a day!
