Welcome to Gaia! ::

Malik tilted his head and watched her with curious crimson eyes. His tail swaying back and forth as he sat on the grass beneath him. He glanced in Phib's direction when Amelie asked an indirect question to him, and she seemed to find the answer without the need for him to reply. How was she able to do that though? This Malik wondered as he sat and she circled around him, then layed not far from where he was. The wind blew gently, carrying with it the smell of the ocean and new lands around him.

Her movements held much expression in them, though he could still see some expression in her blue eyes, though others would disagree with him. Malik found her eyes striking, even if they gave Amelie no physical sight for her, he sensed she could see much more than any would believe.
"I am from far from here..." Malik said, fumbling words together in a sentence, "I was born in the north, in the mountains..." he answered taking a breath of the air in, his nose scrunched with an inhale of the salty air. Malik seemed to nod inwardly a bit to her second part of Amelie's statement,
"Yea...strange things..." his ears lowered a bit. Abandonement...very strange things. His fur was still damp from his excursion in the ocean, but it would dry, it took a bit longer than he had hoped though. His eyes peered towards Phib for a moment, then back to Amelie, Malik was happy he was getting to know another member of his new pack...his new family.

Malik smiled and shook his head, "Thank you for the offer Amelie, but Phib caught me a fish earlier." He said, glancing towards Phib with a crimson gaze, then it strayed back to Amelie, "Phib invited me to stay, and stay I shall...I like it here." Malik said, rambling on, watching Amelie intently. malik shook his head again to Amelie other question, "I am fine, I rested for a little while with Phib on the beach."

Amelie seemed so caring, and made Malik feel happier than he already was, he seemed to be getting along fine with the pack so far, though he had not seen any others yet. Malik then got an idea, a way of...trying to assist and help the pack in some way, "Amelie likes fish? I can fish for you sometimes if you'd like" Malik said, tail swaying back and forth. He had to fish for his mother before, a few images of those times flooded and then passed through his mind, but they quickly faded away after a few moments.

Malik sat and watched, tail swaying as he smiled watching Amelie and Phib talk to one another, Phib trying to be caring, Amelie being...Amelie. Malik did agreed however to her words of him foshing for her,
"I will only fish if others are around...but you must tell me when you are hungry," he said as his ears flicked sideways, "I do rather well fishing in streams as well..." Malik added on. His crimson gaze then fell onto teh fish Phib had caught for Amelie.

"The fish has been out of the water for a little while...and it may spoil if gone uneaten..." Malik said in a caring tone. Phib had afterall gone into the water which he despised very much, and the fish should not go to any waste.

Malik could feel Phib's gaze fall on him for a brief moment, and his young mind wondered what Phib had thought. He hoped to be helpful within the pack, even at such a young age. A lot had been expected of Malik in his birthpack, here, he hoped to have something he could do to help, even if it was to fish for Amelie once in a while. Malik wondered if Amelie or Phib had ever had pups, thus having such a kind nature between both of them. But what if they didnt? And Malik asked such a question...he'd hate to create awkward feelings between them.

Malik smiled, somewhat amused by Amelie's actions towards Phib and the fish, after all, they could not force Amelie to eat, not at all. This place was so knew to Malik, the ocean, the salty air, the fish...yet he was beginning to feel at home. Then, he suddenly thought of something....home...a den. Where would he stay and sleep? Surely he would not intrude on Phib and Amelie's den, and he wouldn't want to intrude on any other pack member. Though, Malik was so accustomed to sleeping in a den with others, though he had slowly gotten used to sleeping alone while searching for his family. If he got a den, he'd want it to be semi-close to Phib and Amelie, in case something went wrong. But still, it worried him, that nightfall would quickly approach and he'd be wandering Phib's territory, looking for a place to rest.

Malik layed down, almost sprawled out in the grass as he watched Amelie take her fish and lick it in an amusing way, and if almost reading his mind she had asked Phib where he would stay. "How'd she do that?" he wondered with a tilt of his head and flick of his tail. Amelie and Phib seemed to contradict one another in some points, especially on where to find a place for him, Phib stating he had planned on asking...Cassidy, that was her name yes, he was sure of it. But he had not known who Cassidy was, so Malik was slightly confused. Then Amelie telling Phib to see what Malik would like to do...how odd they were together.

"I'd stay in my parents den, when there was time to make one. We'd basically stay within the same area, close." Malik said sheepishly, wondering what Phib would say.

Malik watched as Phib began to ponder where he would dwell, and if he would well with anyone. He was sure that if he was placed with another pack member, Amelie and Phib would choose someone he could get along with. Who knows, Malik could even learn something new and grow stronger, and perhaps hold a strong rank in Phib's pack someday. Malik's eyes gleamed with anticipation of his older days,his tail swayedback and forth, surely he could be a strong part of Phib's pack one day.

Malik tilted his head innocently to the side listening to Phib speak of him and Amelie traveling a lot, it sort fo saddened Malik, though he knew had see them often enough so there was no real need to worry.
"I'll try to get along with any you place me with..." Malik said gazing at Phib and Amelie, he'd surely try his hardest, Malik didn't want to have any enemies within the pack let alone outside the pack.

Though Malik still wondered what this Cassidy looked like, and what her rank in the pack was also. Malik actually, didn't know if the ranks in Phib's pack were different from the ones in his birthpack, but he was sure he'd find out eventually, and in time when he'd rise in the ranks...hopefully.

Malik nodded and looked towards Amelie, mouthing to words "bye" then scurrying after Phib Malik walked close behind. His black tail flicked back and forth as he walked besides Phib, memorizing the path they had taken with every step. Malik walked with his head high, trying to look noble...but he appeared quite silly, almost tripping over himself when he didn't pay attention to where he stepped.

But Malik had a question about what Amelie said about tonight, "Phib..." Malik asked, quieter than before, he wasn't sure if he was as happy as he appeared before...fos his tone was a bit different, "What did Amelie mean by "we walk tonight"?" he asked innocently. Truly some of the customs in this pack were different from his birthpack, but he wished to know what they meant, so he could respect them just as he would others.
