Her rather large ears swiveled toward the sound of Suzaku's voice and she perked up. Seneca's tail started to wag at an enormous rate.
As this other female said her name, she looked up with a wolf's grin. She made it apparent that it was hers, but she didn't speak.
She bounced to the side, hoping to see Suzaku's shape. Not a thought had entered the young wolf's mind that the mother-like wolf might have been worried by her sudden absense. She lifted her muzzle toward the air and smelled her scent, making her even more giddy. Keeping her head pointed up, she let out a howl that sounded more like a squeak. She'd never let anything come out of her mouth like that and her eyes widened at the amazing sound she had just created.

Suzaku's ears firsttwitched upon hearing Whisper's voice in the distance. The phoenix then seconds after stopped in her tracks, ears perking instantly at the call of the little pup with the green femme. It was funny how she felt so protective over Seneca, Helaku, and Akamu, maybe because they always accepted her, no matter what she did. Knowing that someone outside of family could care about her that much, the way she cared so deeply for her real brothers and parents...
By the time that Suzaku reached the two she was feeling tons relieved, she could smell Seneca, and she didn't seem to be harmed. She could even see her now. She greeted her with only mild restraint, washing behind the pup's ears and nudging her lightly with her snout in relief.
"Seneca!"
Despite the slight shout, she sounded much more relieved and happy than upset. It was hard not to overreact- as she realized she had been. But, those protective instincts took over and she found herself sounding like a worry-hen mother!
"You shouldn't wander away like that while I'm sleeping, it's dangerous for a pup by herself out here...! Um..." Her eyes wandered to Whisper, smiling sheepishly. "Hello!" ^_^;

(( Sorry about not posting, I thought I was waiting for Tamiko. xD; ))
Enjoying the motherly grooming, Seneca closed her eyes in content. She felt so secure in the "arms" of Suzaku; it was amazing that she trusted her so. As Suza's words floated around in her mind, Seneca opened her eyes again.
She cocked her head curiously and looked deeper into the female's eyes. Was she worried about me? she wondered to herself. It made her proud, actually, and her head leveled.
"I'm.." she hesitated, sounding innocent, "I'm sorry." She wasn't feeling freightened, but curious. She fell into a sit beside Suzaku, glad someone cared about her.

(( *coughs* Sorry.. been kinda busy.. sweatdrop ))
Whisper sat down idly, glancing this way and that as Suza revealed how worried she had been that Seneca had wandered off while the older femme had been sleeping. It was cute the way they were like mother and daughter, though neither looked like the other. Perhaps this other adolescent was like her.. mothering and feeling like she had to protect any pup she came to meet and like. It seemed Whisp was always finding one puppy or another to take care off. A smile crossed her maw as she thought about it.
Her attention was brought back to the real world and her thoughts were broken when the firey-colored wolf greeted her. Well, it seemed she wasn't shy like the green femme, yet she also seemed somewhat timid in her own way..
"Eh.. hi," she replied quietly, glancing at the other adolescent for a brief moment before averting her eyes. For some reason she felt responsible for Seneca's wandering off.. perhaps her scent had triggered the pup's curiousity and therefore led her here. So, feeling a little guilty she didn't look Suzaku in the eyes.

Suza calmed completely, at last, and gazing to Whisper her smile turned less sheepish. "I'm sorry, that was rude of me. Are you a friend of Seneca's?"
She snuffed gently into one of said pup's ears, meaning to tickle her but not knowing if she was ticlish there or not.

Whisper felt oddly comfortable around this Suzaku wolf despite not knowing the girl. Maybe it was because of her motherly nature that she had towards Seneca that matched that of Whisp's affection towards lone pups who had no one to look to for protection.
"Hm? Actually, I don't believe we've met before.. uh.." she said softly as she looked at the pup. Nope, she didn't recall ever meeting this one before.

Seneca's ear twitched at the soft breeze that Suzaku created and she turned her head to scratch with her hind foot. She was tickleish, but she tried not to show it.
Her ears were perked and she watched the two older females talk to one another. Eyes soft with curiosity, she tilted her head back onto Suzaku. She was quite energetic and needed a good running around.
The storm-colored pup looked back to Whisper. Nope, they had never met before this morning, but as she's done before, kept her mouth shut. She was very polite when it came to elders, no matter how much older they happened to be. Her intelligence was indeed high for her age.

"Well, as I said this one's name is Seneca."
She smiled, looking down to the pup again, then back to Whisper. She wanted to encourage Seneca to join the conversation after introductions. There was no reason that Seneca should feel left out. Likewise Whisper was a wolf that Suzaku found she felt a small "click" with. There was something about the way Whisper carried herself that made her feel more trusting and open than she was with others. It wasn't as simple as gender or age, either. It was something more along the lines of...
"My own name is Suzaku, and you are?"

Whisper smiled down at Seneca as the older wolf introduced the pup. "Seneca.. pretty," she commented to the littlest of the females. Truly, she did think it was a nice name and wished that she had a better name instead of one that only described her. Yet there wasn't much she could do and so just shrugged it off.
"My name is Whisper," she told Suzaku, liking her name as well.

Between the pheonix-colored female and the green earth-toned female, Seneca felt so secure that her heart lit up within her. It was lucky for her as well, that Suzaku found her before a predator did.
After a short breath, she finally spoke,"Thank you." Her message was for Whisper, who left a compliment on her name. She wanted to move -do something- as any child would, but she kept still, politely. Her tail was wagging now, hoping the adolescents would catch on. She had a widely playful look in her eyes.

Whisper: It was an interesting name, and it seemed to suit her in more ways than one. The soft spoken air that she had about herself, the soothing but "audible" coloration of her fur, the splashes of white amongst the lush greens. Suzaku said nothing of this though, not wanting to be too bold.
Instead, she smiled again in a friendly manner and inclined her head with a bow. "It's a pleasure meeting you, Whisper. And you..."
A paw reached over and batted at Seneca gently, trying to catch and hook the pup to topple harmlessly onto her side. Suzaku grinned, then got to all fours and backed up a few steps, then circled, tail taking up a wag. She'd entertain Seneca for a bit but she did cast a look to Whisper to see if she minded.

Whisper dipped her head sort of respectfully as Suza voiced that it was a pleasure to meet her. It went both ways but she figured that her body movements said it all. If not, then she couldn't do much about it now, for it seemed the yellowish female and the beautiful pup were beginning to play. She sighed as it reminded her of Fute. She would have to get back to him sooner or later, hopefully sooner. She didn't feel right leaving him alone for too long. She had made a promise to him and meant to keep it no matter what.. Also.. she was supposed to help him find a--
"Pack," she accidentally voiced her thoughts. The green female seemed to get so deep into her thoughts sometimes that she ended up having a conversation with herself.

Suzaku stopped in her tracks, surprised. "Pack?"
That's right, a lot of the wolves she'd encountered didn't have one of those. Most of them young, no less...
"..." She seemed to mull over something briefly, then raised her eyes to Whisper again. "You don't have a pack, either? Do you know others like us?"

Whisper looked up suddenly when Suzaku echoed her. Whoops, she'd done it again, talking out loud that was. Well, there wasn't anything she could do now to cover it up, as the other adolescent had questioned her and asked her if she knew any others with no pack.
"Yes, my best friend, Fute. I promised him I'd help him find one that we could both be happy in. Also, there is Rochir, but I don't know whether he's ready to be in a pack.."

Suzaku's tail resumed a slow wag after a moment, more of an angled, lazy sway.
She remembered planning to form a pack with her brothers and herself heading it up, those days seemed so long ago now. Her brother's behavior was confusing and disturbing. Byakko claimed they'd looked for her, but then he ran away from her after finding each other. What was she supposed to do while they played the indecision game?
Why were they avoiding her in the first place? Wh--
Was it because of her friends?
Suzaku felt a sudden swell of anger and hurt rise up again in her heart, but she didn't show signs of it outside except for her right ear giving a twitch.
She settled onto her haunches and almost seemed like a different wolf than the one that had just been circling and intiating play. She did continue to thump her tail, brushing it in Seneca's face so that she had something to do. She'd restart the play if her pup so wished.
"We could form our own pack. It would make more sense than to join an existing pack full of wolves that are strangers to you."
She seemed to have gone back to moments before that, with a knowing tone, she spoke.
