"Outside is the best!" Caleb agreed with the twins on that. He followed their gaze over to the woman and grinned at the twins. "Think three could take her?" She didn't look all that tough, really. But she had to be tougher than she looked if the twins couldn't take her together... yet, at least.

The twins's eyes went huge at the thought, turning to look over at Akuji once more and they seemed to be trying to work out in their whether or not they could do it as a group, "I bet we could if we tackled her." Uri murmured first hopping up to his feet.
Lucius was on his feet quickly as well, tail wagging, "Yeah! Come on Caleb with your help I bet we could win!"
"Lets go!" Both said, motioning for Caleb to join them in their next attempt at taking their guardian on. Surely they could win if all three of them worked together for one goal! It was most definitely the wolf way to do it.

Caleb's golden tail wagged excitedly behind him as he got up and raced after the twins towards their goal. The woman had to be tough if she could fight off both twins... but could she win against three boys? Especially three hyperactive canine boys? They were about to find out...
Kaden kept a close eye on Caleb, hoping that the boy wouldn't run off. He'd gotten a promise out of the kid that he wouldn't, but... kids were kids. And they often forgot things. Or claimed to. But, when he saw Caleb running with the other boys towards a woman, he got a bit concerned. What were they up to?

Lucius and Uri rushed along forward, looking at Akuji directly before exchanging a glance and then looked at Caleb, checking where he was. Uri broke ahead of the group, taking up the lead and was the first to reach Akuji. He gave a sound of delight as he lunged forward, wrapping himself around one of her arms.
Lucius was next moving to catch hold of her around her legs and both twins turned their hopeful gazes to Caleb, "Tackle! Tackle!" They chanted, hoping getting one arm and both legs secured would be enough to be able to knock her off balance if she were tackled by the third member of their pack.
Akuji gave a little giggle when they started to race her way, watching them and preparing for them knowing what game they were up to. She was a little thrown though when it would appear they found a third player for their game, one that was a little bigger then them and of the same genus.
Her arm was captured first, then her legs, and then the boys were chanting for their friend to help out... uh-oh... she quickly braced herself for the third boy and wished she worn shorts instead of a skirt today...

Caleb grinned excitedly as his two friends pinned their prey and he eagerly pounced upon her, which, of course, brought his guardian running. Kaden had figured out their game a little to late to save the poor woman, though she seemed to know the first two boys from her interactions with them. However, even a mother of rather rowdy twins wouldn't be anticipating another child joining in.
The man sprinted towards the group, but he was afraid he was too late. He just hoped they didn't hurt her too badly before he got there...

Akuji gave a squeaking sound as the last boy dove into the fray and she landed on her backside. She lifted her free hand to push her hair out of her face before sticking her tongue out at the trio, "Owwie... I think I bruised my butt..." The woman said.
The words made the twins break out into laughter, nothing funnier to them then an adult saying 'butt' it would seem. Lucius moved from holding onto her legs to catching hold of her other arm, "We win!" The twins said in delight, "Winners!"
The woman nodded, flopping onto her back in a dramatic fashion, "Ahhh... yes, I think you did." She said, then looked passed the boys who were sitting around and on her to see someone rushing forward toward them. Uh-oh... It would seem they had attracted a spectator.

Caleb giggled when Akuji said 'butt' and his tail wagged even faster. "We win!!" He cried out with the twins, his grin falling only when he spotted Kaden running towards them. "Uh oh..." He muttered, his tail slowing.
Kaden finally reached the group and shot a glance at his charge. "Caleb..." He started to scold the boy, but first decided to make sure the woman was okay. "I'm sorry... Are you hurt?" He reached down to offer her a hand up.

Akuji looked at the hand offered to her and reached out to take it, glad for the hand up, "Thanks, naw I'm alright. I play this game with them a lot." She assured the man, brushing her skirt off, "First time they have found help though, it was a bit of a surprise."
The twins hopped up to their feet, ears laying back against their heads and looked a bit on edge. The man coming over seemed to make Caleb look worried which got the pair up in arms, wanting to defend their pack mate.
They gave little growling sound but stopped when Akuji snapped her fingers to get their attention, "No growling." She said then looked over at Riodan, "My name is Akuji, the pups are called Lucius and Uri. They act tough but they are really very sweet."

Kaden smiled, glancing over at his boy. "I'm Kaden and that's Caleb. He's... a little too enthusiastic at times..." He gave Caleb that look of 'We'll talk about this later'. "Again, I'm sorry about that..."
Caleb glanced back as his friends started to growl. It took him a moment to realize who they were growling at. "That's my daddy," he muttered to the two. "I don't think he liked our game..."

"Boys will be boys and all of that." She said, giving a little grin as she looked at the trio of pups, "I know mine can be pretty enthusiastic themselves. I apologize that they drew your boy into our whole 'alpha status' game."
Uri and Lucius relaxed a bit when Caleb explained that the man was their Daddy. As such they figured he woudn't be to dangerous or scary, "Why...? Its a fun game." They said, sounding unsure of why anyone wouldn't want to play.
Their being able to beat Akuji with the help of their new pack member was very, very important to them. It was important to status in the pack as well, if they were able to keep beating her then they would be higher up in rank which mean facing each other to decide upon the pack's true alpha.

Kaden nodded. "True... and boys are always such rowdy characters..." He glanced over at the twins and noticed once again their canine features. Ah, they must think Caleb to be a member of their pack or something like that. It would make sense. "I believe they have all met before, when the twins were at Faction S, still."
Ah, the adults always talked about boring stuff. "Race ya to the slide!" Caleb declared to Lucius and Uri, before running off towards the object in question.

The twins gave dual squeaks, recalling that they had been heading to the slide to begin with, before their wrestling match, before the match with Caleb, and before the game with their guardian. Reminded of it the pair dashed off after Caleb who'd gotten a head start on them.
Akuji gave a little sigh, "Just watching them play is exhausting." She said, using a hand to fan herself before turning a curious glance Kaden's way, "Oh? I am glad they met a good friend while they were there."

Caleb giggled, glancing over his shoulder to see where the twins were. Racing off before them probably wasn't fair... but at this age, who cared? The winner was all that mattered, really. Well, it was all that they cared about, anyways. The boy's feet quickly carried him towards the playground, his abilities giving him a rather unfair advantage...
Kaden chuckled. "Yes. Children have more energy than they know what to do with, it seems." He glanced at the woman and nodded. "They'd asked me to bring Caleb up. I think they'd hoped he would be able to make friends with them, seeing the similarities between them." The man gave a bit of a shrug to that.

It didn't take long for the boys to realize that the race they were running was to see who came in second place. Their awe of Caleb was increasing as well as the boy was so easily getting ahead of them. Their ears laid back as they tried to push themselves harder to try to keep up. Their friend was fast, very fast!
Akuji nodded, "That was really kind of you and Caleb to visit with them. The times I went in to talk with them they seemed rather lonely." She told the man, "I am sure it meant a lot to them."
She watched as the boys fell farther and farther behind in their race and a little smile appeared on her lips, "I think your boy is going to end up with some loyal followers." She told Kaden with a laugh. They always seemed to greatly respect people that beat them in games like this.

If Caleb had been a bit older, he might've slowed down to let the twins gain on him. But... he wasn't, so he didn't. Instead, he reached the ladder of the slide and started to climb up, his tail still wagging excitedly behind him. "Beatcha!" He declared triumphantly.
Kaden smiled. "They don't seem to do much at Faction S for the kids... Caleb was a bit lonely as well, I think. With that boy, it's hard to tell. He's so wound up all the time. But they definitely aren't spoiled while they're there..." The man glanced over at the trio and laughed. "Running's his specialty..."
