Welcome to Gaia! ::

Niko watched the fae curiously, she seemed so very timid and he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Come." He said as he turned to head back to the den the pack was staying at for now. He liked to keep the pack moving, it wasn't safe to stay in one place for too long, but it was spring and in spring they stayed at the main den, the biggest den so if any fae should have pups they would be safe. Niko didn't have a mate, nor any pups, but he kept up the tradition regardless. "The herds have returned for the warm season, we have plenty of food." He told Alumina as he trotted on slowly. "You may have some leftovers from our last kill."

Niko kept on at a steady pace, making sure the others could follow if they wished. He led Alumina to the heart of his territory, his tail swaying behind him. the was a large mound of dirt off in the distance, the remains of their last meal buried to keep it safe and fresh. "There," He pointed with his snout to the large mound. "You can have whatever is left."

Alumina continued to follow him as he lead her. She looked around making sure that she memorized small things that could help her find her way back if she went off somewhere. She looked in the direction that he had pointed and saw the mound. She bowed her head slightly to show her thanks even mor than she already had. She slowly made her way over. She then began to paw at the dirt to gently uncover the remains that the alpha said she could feast on. When it was uncovered the scent wafted through her snout. Just by lookin at it she couldn't tell what it used to be, but she didn't care. She then began to tear at the leftovers with her sharpened canines. She didn't eat very much. So, when she was finished she recovered it. There was pleanty left for some other wolf of this pack to eat.

Alumina jumped and turned around, her eyes narrowed on whomever had spoken to her. Then, she relaxed seeing as it was merely the fox from earlier. She sat down and licked her chomps as she listened to him. She tried not to laugh as he stumbled with his words. She tilted her head to the side at his question. It was very odd, but she ignored that. She decided to be polite and answer. "After going quite some time without eating anything it was rather enjoyable," she said as she licked the fur of one of her paws, cleaning it. She directed her onyx eyes at him. For some strange reason he seemed very nervous. She decided not to pry by asking as to why he was acting this way. No male of any species had acted thusly in her presence. It was extremely peculier.

[Memories] are nice, but that's all they are.

Hearing the alpha, Khristine looked back, up at him, "No, O great Iki," she joked. Iki was a nickname Khristine had given Niko when they were small pups just to annoy him. She managed to go from Niko to Niki to Iki. She used to love annoy him, and they both chased eahc other a lot, and battled a lot. Obviously, Niko won, but there were also times where Khristine won, leaving him pinned down on the floor with his back to the ground and with his eyes wide opened in surprise. She lvoed seeing tha face. It made her happy to know tha tnot always guys won.

They also had some awkward moments when one sometimes tripped and they fell together and ended up too close. The first times they found it grose, and the other had germs like all small kids do. Later was when the awkwardness arrived. The problem was that Khristine was and is the clumsy one, so she worried at times that maybe he thought she had done things on purpose, but as always, she always thought too much out of things.

She laughed at the words she said, and at the fun memories that word had. Niko was a huge part of her childhood, but since he had become an alpha, they started growing distant, though of course they sometimes joked aronud a bit, bringing the memories back. But Khristine is glad that Niko got such position, and she's very proud of how he has grown and how he has taken care of the pack, even if it's a small one. Soon, and hopefully, the pack will grow and she's confident enough to know that he will know how to deal with things.

She didn't know much else what to say, so she looked at the scene in front of her, watching the day pass by, the pack around the area, the other animals continuing on with their life and the cycle continues, and so on.

[Memories] are nice, but that's all they are.

She laughed as well at his face and th esudden sigh. He seemed exhasuted and restless, but one could know that no matter how tired he is, Niko will always do what he must. "I'm good," she replied, "What about you?" she asked. She did worry about him sometimes since he cared more about his pack than himself, and someone needed to make sure he was okay.

"Ugh!" she said at the push she received from his legs, and her body responded on being pushed back and turning to the side like Niko was but facing him. She glared at him and then got on top of him diagonally, with her feet at the other side touching the ground and she but lightly his ear. She wasn't exactly bitting him, just had his ear in between her top and bottom teeth, with no force, just a small grip and trembled it a bit playfully with a low growl like she used to do when younger.

[Memories] are nice, but that's all they are.

Khristine laughed at his nibbling. When he stopped she threw herself cautiously to the side and rolled till she was upside down with her feet in the air and he rhead back almost touching the ground looking at Niko. He seemed to be upside down, though she was the one who was upside down, "Well you should rest more. Relax..." she replied, though she hoped he wouldn't take it the wrong way and stressed out over what she said. An example might be like 'Oh, I'm an alpha, I can't relax, I have to watch over the pack, and blah blah blah' she thought, "You don't have to over-work, ya know?" she said piecefully. It was like two friends talking all over again. She was glad, and she was very happy as well.

His comment on how he couldn't do it alone caught her slightly off guard but she chuckled lightly, "Then choose your alphess, silly." she aid like if it wa that easy, and it was unless, "Well, if you've found someone who's good enough, I mean..." she added. Hopefully he would find someone who would love him and take care of him, and help him relax and show him that being an alpha isn't all hard work, that one can relax and chill out form time to time, Like... she thought but didn't have the courage to finish the thought. Little had she noticed that while she was thinking, her face showed how lost she was inside, and hopefully Niko wouldn't notice and worry, even if he didn't have to.
