Keara gave a small yip. "I'm sure if you wanted, you could stay as long as you like! Daddy's pretty good about that kind of thing! He always said every wolf should have a home.." Wagging her tail, the teen looked the female over again. "We should play a game! Do you know any games? Huh? We could play chase! Or go for a hunt!" Suddenly, a small squirrel caught her attention and she bolted after it, forgetting about Gyani and the others. "Squirrel! Squirrel! Squirrel!"
"Forgive her," Haku mumbled, sighing. "I hope once she becomes an adult she'll grow up a bit." Giving a small shake of his head, he looked to the direction she had bolted off in. Keara and Nile were complete opposites, even though they were sisters. And his only son, Fleance.. who knew where he was at this point. His eyes shifted around. Where was Lera? Perhaps she had gone hunting.. Or another wolf had held her up. He knew she could take care of herself, but still.. She was his mate, and he needed to care for her.

Nothing was making him feel lass nervous, the only thing Haku was accomplishing in was making Kamali feel guilty. A strong wolf? He was skin and bones and tucked tail when he was trying to face Haku, some one he really shouldn't be so nervous around. He'd left them simply to be with a female, true, he loved her very much, and probably would choose to again if asked (to leave to go with her). How did any of this make him strong?
Kamali raised a brow, wondering when Haku had decided to start thinking of him as a brother. Kam thought of Haku more of a father figure, but he couldn't exactly just blurt that out. Kamali could say no more, not yet, when Haku turned his attention away. He glanced to Noke, sighing a bit, then his gaze traveled around.
He glanced to Keara moment and frowned lightly, looking away again. He felt bad, this had been a promise, to come back. But it'd been a long time, and she'd grown. And he had a mate, which he wasn't sure why but he thought it might disappoint the other female just a little. But he'd never see Keara as some wolf to love, for his love was already captured by Noke. His tail slowly began to untuck, hanging limp behind him, his ears were still flat though.
"So you know I can't stay.." He mumbled. It hadn't been a question. His eyes flicked to Gizmo and Aeria, and a very small smile perked up his features. "Good news?" He questioned, figuring that at least Haku might need a dose of it. "What is your two's good news?"

Gyani culden't help but feel amused yet again, then looked at Haku. "I'm sure everything will be fine. " She said, looking back to the young female. Even if when she grew she didn't get all that mature, everything wuld be fine. besides, so what if she was hyper.. And lacked on paying attention? Let wolves be wolves, odd or not.
Turning her attention to Kamali, she wanted to suggest him to get food and put a little fat for his body, but if he didn't want to hunt, it was his choice. Who was she to tell him to do stuff? But movements caching her eyes, she looked at Keara again, eyes folloing the most movements. For some reason, looking at something in motion, was easier then something still, in a sort of way, at least to this wolf.

The crow had followed silently after Gizmo. The others were always nearby but he flew alone to keep from being as noticable. This was hostile pack territory, and he still remembered the last time that he'd been here. The massive wolf who had figured out how to throw rocks. Though his aim was off a bird could never be too careful. It was his wish, as well as the wish of his master, to see Gizmo, their pack-brother, to the packlands safely and keep an eye on him for a good time to insure that there was no trouble to be had over the kind wolf's time with the mountain pack. The most the crow would be able to do on his own was peck at an eye or two if trouble did come, but the plan was to retrieve help if it came right down to it.
He glided to a stop, back-winging to a high branch looking down over Gizmo and his apparent mate. He gave a loud "CAW" to announce to the kind wolf that he was there still, just as his master had promised that he would. The rest of the wolves would no doubt grow restless over him being there but that was just their beef, not his. Perhaps that speeking wolf could tell them his intentions and keep them from snapping in his direction or throwing those damnable rocks.
"Much fewer than last time." The crow noted, taking a look about at the wolves here, "New faces, old ones gone. Very good very good. Fewer jaws, less danger, very good." He ruffled his feathers a bit, his wings a bit sore from the long flight behind the coupled wolf. That painted wolf gave him a chill though, it felt unatrual, something about the look in its eyes but thus far it hadn't proved to be of any threat to him or the kind wolf.

She looked up to see Haku's smirk, auds immediately fell not in an aggressive way more so saddened. The tension between them was almost unbearable, it was almost like she wanted to run away. In her mouth fangs gritted against each other she felt like a fish caught in a 'two-leggers's' trap. There would be no way out, then she saw him raise his head higher. She nearly snapped, was it all a game to him!? She would not be toyed around and played with. But then he said that, 'I guess that makes you my sister.'
The words broke her in half, she took them sincerely. There was a lot of her that was still bitter and broken from the past and then there was this share that believed somehow they actually could be brother and sister. Auds slowly lifted so that it wouldn't be an interpretation of raw pride. "It would be an honor, brother." She said in a low voice, orbs glanced up to lock with his. Orbs glinted with sincerity, then it ended when he continued to talk to Gyani with this time.
She then turned towards Gizmo and Aeria, although they hadn't had the time to catch up she gave him a nod of her head in greetings. It had been such a long time and now they finally met back up. She smiled, and nodded 'ditto'ing' what Kamali said. What was the good news? Then she turned her head to see the crow, the fur lining her neck bristled. Memories... long since buried... flashed in her brain. Her golden orbs widened staring at it. The crow, an omen of darkness, What are you? She whispered to where no one could hear it.
Why? She asked, memories of her home... her family... then darkness. Why were they coming back, now of all times after so many years? These were the memories of her past, the one's that she had willed herself to forget. She watched the crow, emotions and thoughts welled up inside her and yet she couldn't dechiper a single one. She was alert of the crow, not sure what to think of it.

His head lowered, slightly. It was still high enough to show him as the alpha of these lands. When he heard what 'Noke had said, he felt a part of him ache. Nodding a few times to Gyani, he'd turn to smirk at Aeria and Gizmo. He had a good idea what the news was, after all. They had just become mates, so, he figured it had something to do with that.
Though, his head shot up when he heard the bird, his eyes narrowing. "Damn bird," He never liked them, figured that they were a pointless part of nature. He couldn't tell, if it was the crow from earlier.. Though, that crow had always made him nervous. Why would a crow be so interested in a pack? None of the others seemed to be. Perhaps it's mind set was a little off..
Haku said nothing to either wolf before them, sensing that they were a bit.. not all together. Raising his eyes, he'd look them over once more. What was he to say? "Yeah.. I know." It's not like he would ask him to go against his mate's wishes. Nor would he harm the two for coming onto the lands, though they were in an 'enemy pack'. Perhaps, with their help they could become allies? Sure, they all ready had his and Selia's pack, and Selia's was one of the largest packs known, but more allies couldn't hurt if there was a problem.
Once again, his mind shifted to Selia and he shivered slightly. When they were just puppies.. If he hadn't been there, she could have been dead. Two-leggers, he would always hate them. Maybe not 'Meal-Ticket' but he was long gone anyway. Letting out a sligh huff, he tried to ignore the fact that he knew there were a pair of eyes on him and his pack at all times.

He shifted closer to Aeria, seeking comfort from her standing beside him. There was so much tension in the pack, mainly focused around Kam-Kam and...wait, was that...could that really be little Marble?! His eyes glittered with remembrance, the purple pup filled with courage when facing strange monsters in the den back at the freelands.
His tail began a frantic wagging and he shifted his weight constantly from one paw to the other. He wanted to catch up! Apparently Haku had buisness with his two friends however and so he had waited quietly whilst they discussed the situation. Gizmo could already tell he wasn't going to like the news. Seemed Kam-Kam had wanted to do some travelling too, and Marble was his mate now? Then perhaps they had set up their own pack somewhere.
He turned to reguard Aeria with a small smile and spoke quietly so only she could hear. Me think they busy...perhaps we save news till later... He took a small step back as Kamali spoke and nodded, Yes, news can wait though.
And then the crow made his presence known, Suuru had followed him just as Fea had promised he would! Memories of that noble wolf made him very happy and he wondered whether they would be able to meet up again soon, show him the pups once they had been born and were old enough to travel.
He turned to glance next at the strange wolfess and nodded in her direction before moving to bury his face in the neck fur of his new mate before taking another step forward.
Haku...no matter how far Kam-Kam go, it won't make him any less of a brother, no distance can destroy friendship. I learn that recently... He spoke this loud enough for all to hear, drawing confidence from the familiar faces around him. When would be the right time to share the news? He glanced back at Aeria, asking this with a silent gaze.

She had smiled gratefully as the others wolves greeted her, but didn't stray from Gizmo's side. She tried not to listen to their conversation, as she felt eavesdropping might be rude, and instead busied herself with studying the patterns on her mate's coat. He really was a beautiful wolf... Aeria hoped that their puppies would be just as lovely as their father.
As he stepped away, she continued to watch him carefully and smiled again at his words. Aeria then saw his questioning eyes and answered with a slight lifting of her shoulders. This didn't seem like the right time, there was much going on.
Turning in a small circle, the wolf lay down. Her paws were aching from the journey, and she felt that rest would be very good for her body and the little lives developing inside.

Dark eyes traveled Gizmo and Aeria, still almost positive that he knew the news at this point. "You remember your old den, Gizmo? We kept it free of annoying little pests. Maybe Aeria would like to rest there?" She could keep the puppies there, too. He could tell by her scent, her size and that smug look on Gizmo's face that they were expecting. "Probably safer than out here."
No, he wouldn't tell everyone what was going on. Kam and Noke probably didn't know what pregnecy smelled like. He only did because of Lera. And he had made the mistake of trying to see them right after they were born. Lera nearly ate him. But, little Gizzy had marched back and forth in front of the cave, standing his ground. Haku remember he looked much like a little soldier. Which he found rather amusing. Then he shook his head, trying to think of what was happening then. He had issues with day dreams at the wrong time.
Moving to face the two, he gave a smug look. "You really should get here there as soon as possible, Gizmo." Something abd could happen if they weren't protected. "I can walk with you if you'd like." Part of him forgot that Noke and Kam were even there. Maybe it was the part that still regretted making him promise to come back to tell him his decision. His tail flickered behind him, his head still high.

Obviously Kam was starting to feel ignored. Plus trying to get Gizmo and Aeria to change the subject hadn't worked. He sighed lightly, shifting and turning his body, golden gaze searching for the river in the distance.
I told him my decision and now he wants me to go. At least, that was what Kam thought. I didn't even get to see Lera. His head turned again, so he watched Noke. He was wondering if she was ready to leave yet. He hadn't gotten the happy return he wished for, he half knew he wasn't going to get it. But it was disheartening.

She blinked turning her head to Aeria and Gizmo, when she turned to look for the crow out of the corner of her eye it was gone. Orbs skimmed over the tree branches in vain, she could've sworn it was just there. Perhaps you just imagined it. She told herself. Noke brushed the subject off turning back to Gizmo, she grinned remembering when they both had been pups and now here they were grown. She turned listening to Haku, then she sensed something she turned her gaze on Kamali. She wasn't positive, but she could've sworn she saw sorrow of some kind. Her purple tail wrapped closer to Kamali, her golden gaze focused on Kamali before she leaned her head closer to him.

Gizmo moved a step closer to Aeria in a protective manner, head held a little higher as he reguarded the wolves around him. They were his closest friends and somehow all this tension didn't seem right. They were family and that meant that in times such as this they needed to pull together, work things out and compromise.
He lowered his head, nuzzling at Aeria's ears and whispering quietly that he wouldn't be far before moving closer to Kam-Kam, he paused only to glance in his brother's direction. The large wolf was a symbol of power and his aura was filled with strength and pride that was a must fior any good alpha. Yet sometimes that pride became injured and he made mistakes because of it. He would make sure to sort them out.
I take Aeria to den soon, maybe hunt too. He cast an affectionate gaze in her direction, not able to catch anything larger than long-ears on way. Okay so how to break the ice? One cast at Kam-Kam and he knew that something had to be done and with a deep breath he quickened his pace and wagged his tail. Now to give them the welcome he should have given them before.
Kam-Kam! Marble! He bounded towards them, a puppy-like yip escaping from his throat as he moved to n** affectionately at the lilac wolf's ears. No see you for long time, miss you, where you been? Gizmo has much to tell you, you have news too? Where be you staying? You visit lots yes?

Kamali's golden orbs widened a little in surprise, glancing to Gizmo and watching him, he smiled and his tail wagged a little, and he leaned into Noke as well. Gizmo was intelligent, knew how to fix things. And for that, he was thankful.
"I for one, have been exploring. I met a lot of new, strange wolves." He grinned slightly, easily happy by Gizmo's conversation. "News?" His head tilted slightly, ears flicking. He shook his head slowly. "No, not really. Just that I am moving with Noke.." He murmered, this was a bit more quiet than the rest.
"Of course we'll visit, the pack lands we're staying in are close to these, which is good." He grinned, lightly.

Gyani for one, didn't mind not being noticed, accept when she actually had something to say. She looked down at her one position; it was just a stumbled sitting down one, when Keara had thrown questions on to her. Moving her front paws, the blue wolf ajusted herself to a newtral sitting position, instead of a thrown back one. She didn't like looking like that, not anymore, at least. She just wached the other wolves, while trying to find a point to say something, feeling it was rude to listen to others, and not really say anything.
(( Sorry, i just dinna know what to do xD; ))
