Nope. If there was another wolf in Ikkume's life, it certainly wasn't Whisper. She hadn't seen Ikku since she was in her early adolescense and at that time liking guys in that special way wasn't something she did. And.. from the way Talia talked about the sandy male, the femme could have sworn there was something between them. Why else would she be talking about him that way and seem a little more happy about talking about him than is normal?
"Really nice, eh?" she echoed her friend's words into a question. Now, Whisp wasn't the one to pry, so all she did was give Talia this look, like "You like him don't you?" sort of thing.

Talia felt herself smile sheepishly, she'd noticed her own babbling, but didn't really mind if Whisper knew.
"What??" She feigned ignorance and innocence first. "...... Maybe... kind of..... yeah. I do." She smiled a little more sheepishly now. "He's really sweet! I couldn't help myself!"
She was still grinning though. She couldn't help but talk to Whisper about this, they were friends and that was something that Talia had never had before, a female friend, she had her sister, but she wasn't here now. It had been so long since she had someone to confide in with that sense of security, knowing that they wouldn't roll their eyes and think she was some kind of hormonal idiot.

Whisper grinned at Talia, one that said "I knew it!" but not in that "Haha I was right!" kind of stuck up way. Her tail took to another wag as she went up to Talia and nuzzled her in understanding. Sure, she hadn't exactly fallen for a guy like her friend had, she was long over Kuro and felt it was a silly crush, but she felt like somehow she could relate. It was a difficult feeling so she just dropped it entirely.
"Well, I'm happy for you. He is a nice guy," she grinned at Talia, feeling like she had a right to tease. Yet she wasn't one to do that so she just held it in and settled with giving her friend funny looks that almost equaled teasing.

Ronan's eyes shot towards the direction that the last howl had come from, he gave a inward nod and gave a small deep voiced howl before he set off in that direction.
"On my way." Said the howl.
The male pushed through the bushes as silently as he possibly could. He didnt think anything would be dumb anough to follow a wolf that was following a call of another, but their was still the precaution of such.
The forest green male finally entered into the area where Talia has described, but he still didnt see her. She must be in the general vacinity, he thought. He put his sences to work and tried to pinpoint her. "Talia?" Said he shortly to announce his arrival to the general area.

Talia smiled at Whisper's nudge, pawing hat her in return. She liked having someone that she could talk to about these things. Whisper was a very kind wolf, and Talia was thrilled to have befriended the omega. She'd look out for Whisper no matter what, there was just something about her that made her view her in a sisterly manner.
"Thank you Whisper,"
~I just hope that the feeling is mutual.~
It felt like it was a strong crush at first, but maybe it was developing into something more. She was doing what she could to be mindful and keep those feelings in check.
Her attention shifted slightly, nose perking and flaring to take in the arriving new scent and sound. Ronan was on his way, should be there soon in fact. Talia's head swiveled in the direction of his call. Talia rose off of her haunches and raised her tail to wag in greeting, staying close to Whisper since she knew that she was usually uncertain around strangers.
"There's Ronan now, Ronan!"

And indeed the feeling was mutual. Whisper had her own siblings: Kamali, Tobias, and Rasine. Yet she didn't feel quite as connected with them as she did with Talia. In a way, she didn't mind. She hadn't seen her siblings in a while, but she was about to start something really big; she viewed their starting of a 'friendship pack' something big, anyways.
"No problem, that's what friends are for," she replied happily. Truly she was glad that her friend had found a guy that she could like in that special way and not just have a crush on. And for some reason she felt that those feelings went both ways. The black and white femme was very kind and caring, and Whisp couldn't see how a male wouldn't like her.
Then Ronan's scent drifted towards her on the wind and all of the omega's thoughts were broken. She wasn't too keen around strangers and didn't really feel comfortable when confronting them. Plus, this Ronan wolf was related to Keefe, so she didn't know exactly what to expect. To hopefully give him the idea that she wasn't harmful or anything like that--not that Ronan would think of friend of Talia's was horrible if he knew her enough--the green wolf lay down on her stomach with her ears back against her head which was resting on the ground between her paws.

What was this tense feeling in the atmosphere? The male thought at first as he started walking in a certain direction. It wasnt a bad tension, but something he shouldnt stick his nose into.
He was about ready to turn around and proberbly send up another howl as his nostrils flared, the scent of talia in the air. Their was a scent of another, but Ronan figured it was more than likely a friend of talia's. He then heard the black and white females voice, confirming that she was in this direction.
He kept his pace constant as Talia finally came into his vision, his emerald eyes gleameing. "Hello, you wanted to see me?" He said outright, Ronan wasnt really the type to dottle on matters... he was rather straitforward.
His gaze went down towards the other green wolf, she seemed to be afraid... he didnt know why. It isnt like he'd attack her. Yet alone he more than likely wouldnt speak to her either. Only a few wolves had ever actually gotten reconized by him, it was just Ronans nature to be silent.

Talia looked to Whisper as she moved to a submissive pose, and almost sighed. It wasn't that it upset her, but she felt like the other adult should, or could be more.... she wasn't sure what the word was. No matter, she was there to look out for her friend, and she'd do just that, however, with Ronan that wouldn't be needed.
Talia smiled softly at the dark male as he emerged, her tail still wagging in greeting, her look saying: "What, no hello pounce?", though she didn't say so aloud.
Ronan had to know she was only teasing with those types of looks and words by now anyway. She nodded. "I did, I have an invitation for you." Her expression turned inquisitive, as though she were raising an eyebrow, as if to say "Interested?".

Once Ronan had appeared and shown himself to Talia Whisper raised her head from the ground. His pelt was near in coloration to hers and he didn't appear to be as.. serious.. as his brother and so she felt just a tad more comfortable. Not enough to have her open up and just go back to being all happy and cheery, though. Instead, she rose to sit beside Talia. Ears were still down, though, but she wasn't showing her submissive side as much as she normally would. Perhaps it was the comfort of having such a great friend beside her.
Now.. Talia wished to invite him into the pack? Yes, that's what she had expected. Why else would she call him to meet her in the first place? And these two seemed like good friends.. the green femme could tell by the way Talia was looking at him. She smiled to herself but said nothing and stayed silent.

Ronan's ears twitched slightly as Talia gave him that certain look, he gave a small chuckle and rolled his eyes at her. She should also know now that this was his way of a playful responce.
"Invitation?" He repeated outloud as well as in his mind. Though it repeated in his mind a few times over. He knew he could trust Talia from what he has seen, though he still was a little wary. Ronan knew Talia better than any other wolf besides the one in his family pack...
The male gave Talia a nod as he also sat down onto his haunches. He watched as the green female sat next to the black and white female. He didnt seem to mind.

Talia knew that for the most part Ronan trusted her, otherwise he wouldn't be here right now. She settled to sit again comfortably next to Whisper, keeping close for continued reassurance.
"A friend of ours is starting a pack, it's going to be a collective of friends around our age. Whisper here, myself, the one gathering everyone-- Suzaku, three pups, and possibly another friend of mine if all goes well. I know that you have your family's pack, but... I think that this is a good idea, and I think it shall be a strong pack, a place that we can all call home."
That was so important to Talia after having to leave behind her own family, Ronan knew, she had been searching desperately for her sister on her arrival to the woods. It took this long to realize she hadn't followed.

Whisper continued to sit beside her good friend in silence. Talia was the one who knew this Ronan character and so she felt she was not needed. Besides, why would anyone listen to a total stranger and follow them to start a new pack of friends? She wouldn't if someone randomly came up to her and did just that. So the omega stayed silent yet watched the two and their surroundings carefully.

Ronan's expression as the female asked him the question didnt change at all, he kept the same look in his eyes, the same breathing patterns, and or he didnt look phased one bit.
The male wolf already knew one day he would more than likely branch off from his parents pack, either that or he would stay inside of it for the rest of his life. Even though he didnt seem like it ronan actually had a adventurous personality. He loved to explore, indeed this is how he met Talia for the first time... he was wandering around his parents pack lands.
The question after a while finally sunk in... should he join this pack? He remembered that he had scolded His brother, Keefe, for wanting to leave the pack earlier in their lives. Would this make him a... hypocrit? Yet again Keefe wanted to leave while he was still a pup, while Ronan was between adolescent-hood and adult-hood. Though personality wise he was a full fledged adult. Shouldnt he be able to make his OWN decisions?
The male removed those thoughts from his mind, he needed to move onto better things... even if this meant leaving his parents pack. Ronan's eyes Re-connected with talia's as he gave her a small nod. "Alright."

The silence seemed to span, defeaning in Talia's ears. The natural sounds of the forest around were distracting, but Talia didn't really pay them anymore than a passing twitch. When Ronan's eyes changed, almost warming over, to her, she had a feeling she knew his answer, and was thrilled to see she was right in her guess. She wasn't the type to excitedly exclaim random approval, though, so she contained herself and smiled visibly, nodding her head to Ronan in return. "We'll let Suzaku know, then. Do you want to tell your parents?"

This was great! More members meant more friends and more strength, more heads put together for the same reason. She couldn't wait until Suzaku found out. She would be thrilled with all of the new members being recruited. It was all thanks to the wonderful wolf Talia. Whisper would have to let the fiery female know that later. The black and white female certainly deserved much credit.
