"Dad?" Tilly looked back at Ger, giggled, and back to Suikoden. "No. He's, um, my buddy." She said for lack of a better word in her vocabulary, wagging her tail. "He's been there for me since I was little." She squinted in confusion a moment, then barked eagerly. "I wanna know! Where did the book go?"
Garaden smiled through the happy haze in his mind when Blair licked his muzzle. "That makes two of us." He chuckled softly. "Their knight in shining fur. Is that so?" In a sudden fit of insecurity, he lowered his head slightly into his shoulders in embarassment and asked, "Um, so, have you found yours?" He already felt stupid for asking.
Ivan picked his head up as Raisa laid by him. "Oh, well.. you're welcome." He frowned. How dumb could a guy sound? "I mean, when I heard what happened, I couldn't just-" He growled quietly. He was getting upset again, remembering. He sighed and shook his head. Ivan stared at his paws, fighting indecision, deciding to take the risk. "And... thank you for showing me the way to find you..." He spoke slowly and looked up to gauge her reaction.

Rudolf smiled with a light blush spreading on his fur. He tucked the handkerchief back in his scarf before scooting closer to Endless. "Pillow be I you for time any." He said with a small chuckle, "Glad I back too." He sighed and laid his head near Endless' paws.
(>_< Well that's okay.)
Ammy nodded and barked saying yes I have been, now to meddle with Endless. She laughed and turned to look at Kai. She barked saying she always had energy and that she wasn't crazy. She looked at Raisa and nodded as she left. She then looked back at Kai and nodded in Rudolf's and Endless' direction. She barked saying now if only they got together.

Kai glanced at Ammy, his tail beginning to wag.
"Did you say meddle with Endless because if you did, I'm totally in." Kai said in a low voice to her, trying to be sneaky. "Oh, we can get them together... time for operation Meddle with Rudolf."
Endless watched as he tucked the handkerchief in his scarf and she smirked slightly. She was relaxed and content with this position; close to Rudolf.
"Anytime? Good...I'll just come back in here all the time so you can be my personal pillow." She laughed and wagged her tail.
Atreyu listened to Suicune and threw his back, laughing.
"That is such an awkward question but... a few of our female friends in my pack have offered but I'm not entirely sure how it will all work. I've heard of a permi-infant having pups with his mate but never of a pairing like Dagger and I." He nearly jumped when he heard Naito leave the room with Ava following after him and he shook his head. "Though I wish he wouldn't think that would happen with all of us... he'll find peace; I just want him to not worry so much and let go of his past."
Dagger walked back in from the kitchen carrying with him an assortment of sweets, water bottles, fruit cups and chips. He dumped them all in the box for everyone to get to and put all the trash from the party into the bag. Looking towards Atreyu, he smiled brightly and trotted off to continue running errands.
"Of course silly!" Blair said, laughing and wagging her tail. "He's sitting right beside me being silly." Blair pawed at him and let out a few small yips and barks at him. "Did you think I meant someone else?"
Raisa heard Ivan's growl and she looked at him. She leaned towards him and licked his ear gently. She nearly jumped back and away from him at the last thing he said to her and she moved her head to stare intently at him.
"I-I didn't..." She sighed. "So it really did happen.... though, I'm not sure how. I hope that just a moment ago, you weren't thinking about a piano..."

Suicune looked a bit down. "I'm sorry about that. I don't normally ask questions. This might sound strange to you and others, but I did not even know what giving birth was about before we had kids and I thought it was a female that had to do it, but maybe there are other ways. Probably not natural ways, but still it could be that way." He cocked his head. "Oh he'll be fine after he cools his jets. I can sort of understand where he's coming from with his point. At least Ava apears like a really close wolf to him. It almost looks like she's the only one who can talk sense into him right now anyways." He laid down and streched out. "Well whatever you do with getting children, I hope you enjoy them while you got them, because when they grow up, you might not see them as much depending on what their personality is. Jay already told me that he was going to leave and head out on his own. Suikoden, I have no clue what he's doing."
Suikoden knew that normal puppies would not do this, but he thought he would tell her anyways. "I grabbed it out of the trashcan one day."
Jay cocked an eye at his brother. "You did what?"
Suikoden nodded his head proudly. "Yep. They say that one wolf's garbage could be another wolf's treasure."
Jay sighed. "That's why I don't normally ask you these things since you make me feel so confused."

Tilly fell over in a fit of giggles. "The garbage?!" She rolled back onto her belly, looking at Suikoden with interest. "The garbage has treasure?"
Garaden laughed sheepishly, stopping her paw by trapping it against his chest. "I don't know." He admitted, shaking his head and licking at her paw that he held captive.
Ivan smiled slightly when Raisa licked his ear, but it slipped quickly when she started denying. He watched her curiously as she spoke, curling his tail close around his legs. "Well.. I was, actually. I.. I was remembering hearing your voice, it was like you were calling me from a distance. Then, I saw a piano... It was the one in the music room. Where you were. You sent me that piano, didn't you." Ivan shook his head quickly. "I don't understand it either. I'm... confused." He sighed and closed his eyes, resting his head up against the wall.

Ammy nodded at Kai growing serious. She woofed quietly asking him what operation Meddle with Rudolf is exactly. She looked at Rudolf and Endless and smiled at them. She woofed saying that they look so cute like that.
Rudolf nodded with a smile. "Course of." He said wagging his tail, "Be I here time all so pillow be I you for then." His tail landed on Endless' tail when it stopped wagging. He sighed content to lay by her.

"Well usually I just plan to go over and poke Rudolf a lot but hm... how would we get them to say they like each other? Maybe we should go over there and tell them they should just become a couple." Kai said, laughing at how blunt that sounded.
Endless opened her eyes when he laid his tail atop hers and she wiggled closer to him.
"That's nice to hear..." Endless moved her head against his shoulder. "I don't know why but it's just really nice to hear that you'll be there...even if you're just my lovely pillow." She smiled and curled her tail around his.
"No, no... don't take any offense Suicune. I just thought it was a funny question." Atreyu looked back towards the door where Naito and Ava went. He flicked his head and pawed at the ground. "Perhaps, if you say... oh, I will enjoy the puppies if they do come. It would be really fun but I'm fine with just adopting the pups that may come into my pack. I grew up with out my parents so I sympathize with them."
Blair gave him a devlish smirk and moved her tail towards his side. She brushed it against him a few times.
"Well, don't have any doubts. You're my knight Garaden." She said, preparing herself to pounce on him the moment she could.
Raisa looked at Ivan and listened to him as he spoke to her. She felt her wings flutter for a moment and then she sighed as well, confused.
"I... I heard your voice and felt you with me when I was really scared. I'm not sure what it was but I kind of liked knowing that you were somewhat with me." Raisa looked towards him and she laid her head on her paws. "It was really nice."

Garaden smiled and nipped her paw. "I don't doubt you. I wish I had a grand castle to carry you off to." He noticed her smirk. 'What's she up to now?' He thought, a small grin forming in anticipation.
Ivan reopened his eyes, watching Raisa thoughtfully. He didn't know what to say, so he closed the short space between them, nuzzling her neck then resting his head on her back between her neck and her wings. "I think I prefer being close to you this way." He said softly.

Ammy listened to Kai's plan. She smiled and laughed at his last one. She barked saying that the last one was good but a little blunt. She looked over at Rudolf and Endless and wondered if they would be needed. She barked at Kai asking how likely Endless would admit her feelings to Rudolf?
Rudolf felt as if he was going to burst. Endless always seemed to make him feel this way ever since he had met her. He curled his tail around hers once he realized that she was doing that. "Be I more pillow than if want you it." He said quietly and slowly.

Suicune shook his head. "I wasn't offended. I just thought it was too personal for you." He thought a bit. "Really? Well it almost seems like it's common nowadays for some puppies not to have any family. I wonder why. Do they escape their parents?"
Jay looked at Suikoden then back at Tilly. "See why I don't ask him those things?" He sighed and laid down, although he was slightly smirking of how his brother had made a fool of himself.
Suikoden smiled a bit sheepishly. "Well...yeah. One item might not be as valuable to one wolf so they might pitch it. That same item could be worth a lot of things to another wolf when they find it. It's basically a saying."

Kai glanced over at Rudolf and Endless and he stared at her for a moment and then looked back at Ammy.
"I'm not entirely sure. I've heard bits and pieces of Endless' past from her and from my human and she's had it rough with those she commits herself too but I think Rudolf is different. She usually acts really...distant from others but that's not the case with our german friend." Kai sat down and wrapped his tail around his paws. "We can just hope for those two I guess."
Endless opened her eyes slowly and she lifted her head slightly away from Rudolf's shoulder so she could get a better look at him. She wondered why he spoke so slowly and she tilted her head curiously. Despite Rudolf's accent and the way he talked, she could always understand him so perfectly. Then again, she always did like the wolf's accent.
"More then a pillow? What do you mean Rudolf?" She said, curious but trying to hold it back from showing.
"Oh, no it wasn't that personal... just a little awkward but awkward is fun." Atreyu chuckled. He flicked his tail as if to shrug at the last thing Suicune said. "Yeah, I just wish it wasn't like that. We don't escape our parents... some of us just get separated, like Kai for instance, and others are just bought by other people. I just kind of wish I could have had what my other siblings had or at least knew that my mother and father had sought out to locate me. It's hard being a pup without a family. It just give you more reason to survive though."
"We don't need a grand castle... the box castle," She gestured towards the work of Raisa and Ammy. "It will work just fine."
She let out a yip and pounced on Garaden, using her paws to tickle him again.
Raisa began to giggle as her mate nuzzled her and she tried very hard to keep her wings from fluttering and tickling him. She attempted to turn her head as much as she could to look at him and smiled, continuing to giggle.
"I might have to agree with you." She moved her head and laid her head near his paws. "You must be exhausted from all that fighting. I never knew my mate was such a strong fighter."

Tilly giggled at Jay, then turned back to Suikoden. "You think I find treasure too in garbage?" She jumped up excitedly. "Can we go look? Now?"
Garaden looked over at the box castle and chuckled. "Well, that will have to do for n- !!!!" Garaden yelped when she suddenly pounced, barking with laughter as Blair tickled him. He kicked playfully, trying to swat her paws away. "S-s-s-sto-op! Ti-ti-tickles-s-s!" He gasped through his laughter, trying to wiggle away.
Ivan smiled softly. That had gone rather smoothly, no big deal. He sighed, knowing it would still be hanging in the back of his mind, but it could sit there for now. He yawned in responce to the word 'exhausted,' coughing in place of a snort at the rest of it. "Well, when one is a knight, especially a knight of a lady such as you, one must be ready to defend that which others may covet for themselves." He chuckled, making sure that he himself understood what he had just said. Then she might too.

Ammy tilted her head wondering about Endless' past. She nodded in agreement about how Rudolf is different and hoping for the two of them. She barked saying Rudolf is certainly different, something about him makes others open up. She then laid down watching Rudolf and Endless.
Rudolf looked at Endless and gulped. What did he mean. Well he knew that he wanted to more than a pillow to Endless; he wanted to be her friend, companion, and even.... dare he think it mate. He wanted to be someone she could trust, depend on, have fun with, and love. He looked down and stared at the floor. "Pillow more yes." He said quietly, "Be whatever I you want be to me." He glanced up at Endless to see her reaction.

Suicune nodded his head. "I guess. It's just I never felt awkward before since I was just doing what I had to do day to day. To tell you the truth, if it wasn't for Naito, I probably wouldn't even be here where I am now. He is fun to tease at times since he is still naive, but I don't like seeing him in pain." He looked out at the door. "He had no father anyways so he was like a son a bit, but he always seems to wander off easily." He looked towards Atreyu again. "I see. Well I hope that every wolf like that ends up finding something or someone to call family."
Jay almost fell over in shock. "Wha-wha-what?" He was not expecting Tilly to do the same thing.
Suikoden laughed at Jay's expression. "Of course we can. If you really want to. Or at least I wouldn't mind going through it again in the kitchen."

"That is true...maybe it's good that the two have found one another." Kai stretched and laid down on the ground, resting his tail against him. He stared at Endless and Rudolf and he shook his head. "I think buddy boy might just be brave enough to go through with it."
Endless gave him an encouraging smile when he lowered his head from looking at her and was glad when he lifted it to look at her again.
"You'd be anything I want?" She sat up and stared down at him, thoughtful for a moment; becoming shy for a moment. Bah, when she wanted to ask him to always be with her.... she could only think of using him as just a simple pillow when she wanted so much more from him. He wasn't just some annoying male like Kai or the other males she came across. "Rudolf,, I want you to be only yourself because-" She paused and flicked her tail, glancing away as her shyness slammed into her hard. Taking a deep breath, she slowly looked back to him. I used to be brave once... why am I so afraid?! Pulling her hidden courage, she looked back at him. "-Because that is always what I have loved best about you. You're original. I would never change that."
"I don't like seeing anyone in pain so it's hard watching him struggle with himself." Atreyu flicked his tail and glanced around the room. "In a way, your friends can become your family. Which is why I befriend every orphan I find. A kind face to see when you're so young and alone is always a nice thing to see."
Blair managed to dodge his kicks as she continued to tickle him, laughing and wagging her tail happily in the air. She paused for a brief moment to look down at him with a pleased look and barked happily at him.
"Ha!" She shifted her paws to begin tickling him again and rolled off, landing on side. She used one paw to continue pawing at him.
Raisa began to giggle again at what Ivan had said.
"You sound so proper...You're so goofy Ivan." She tried to get control of her giggling but failed miserably. It didn't matter. She was incredibly happy and giddy now that she was curled up against Ivan. "Hm...the one who is the lady of a knight is very thankful and happy that she has this knight to look after her.... and she will try and protect her knight as well." She nodded her head, trying to sound brave.
