"I'll give you another bath later Tersi, I promise." Kuoni said with an affectionate sigh. She looked back at Doc with concerned eyes. He'd started coughing soon after birth... once again she'd done something wrong. She smiled encouragingly though. "You guys are hopefully going to meet someone very special to me. That is, if she's up to a visit. She hasn't been feeling well, so you must be on your best behavior if we can see her."
She looked off into the woods, wondering how her mother was doing. At least, if mother wasn't well today, she could introduce the pups to Aphrodite.
Nima rolled her eyes. "Don't whine so much Tersi! Sheesh!" She jumped up and ran after Kuoni. "She's out there? In the woods? We're going on a trip!" She yipped.
"I'm not whining!" Tersi huffed, sticking her tongue out. She looked at the woods with calculating eyes. They looked kinda creepy, but she was sure there was something out there. Maybe she'd come back with a big story! Something to get everyones attention!
Wyatt watched Doc until the coughing spell was done with, then hopped off the porch. He narrowed his eyes suspiciously at a strange bug crawling in front of him. When he pawed at it, the grasshopper spread it's wings and flew at Wyatt's face. Wyatt jumped backward with a yelp, batting again at the strange thing. His quary securly back on the ground a few feet away, Wyatt trotted after his family. "Someone special? Do you really think she'll like us?"
((Yep! Nima, Doc, Wyatt, Tersi))

((Okay! >_<))
Doc looked at his mother and saw the concern in her eyes. "I'm alright Mom. Don't worry." He said with a cough, "So who is the sick person were going to meet? And why is she special to you?" He noticed some ants marching through the grass. He began pawing at them and ended up mashing them. He coughed again then looked at his mom. "How do we get there? Can we go now?"
Vipin looked at Lux and shook his head. "But if I don't get you back soon Fiorenza is going to throw a fit. You know that she does that when she's taking care of someone." He then began heading for the cabin. "You can hang out in front of the cabin."
Lux sighed at Vipin. "Fine. We can lay in the front yard then." She said hobbling towards the cabin.

Kuoni nodded and nuzzled Doc's head. "I know dear, but it's a mother thing." She giggled. "Of course she'll like you all Wyatt. And yes Doc, we're going there now." She flicked her ears back slightly. "I'd rather not say who in case we can't see her. I don't want to dissappoint you." She reached the edge of the woods and looked back. " Stay close now! It's a bit of a walk through these woods." She called, heading into the woods.
Nima looked up and yelped. The woods were so dark and creepy! She scurried quickly, following closely behind Kuoni. "I hope it's not too far..."
Tersi frowned. The trees were so close together, what if she got lost? With a small whine, she ran and climbed onto Kuoni's back, recieving a small growl from her lack of warning. She curled up and watched the woods go by from her new perch. So many new things!
Wyatt stuck close at first, but kept falling behind. He kept stopping to look at the plants and flowers. There was so much new and cool looking flora, how could he resist a look? After nearly loosing sight of his family once, he decided the plants could wait... except for that one! And he might miss this one later. That one had a neat bug on it! What kind of plant was this one?

Doc took the lead but didn't walk too far ahead of Kuoni, just a couple of steps. "I wonder who we're go-" He said starting to cough again. He had to stop walking and it took a minute until he stopped coughing. ".... I wonder who we're going to meet." He finished. He looked around and noticed that Wyatt wasn't to be seen. He growled then backtracked. He spotted his brother looking at a plant with a bug on it. "Come one Wyatt Earp. We're going to get left behind."
Vipin walked into the clearing that surround the cabin adn sighed. "Home." He said looked back at Lux. She was slowly making her way to the sunshine.
"If I could walk better I would so beat you up." Lux mumbled to Vipin, "Running off ahead of me." She slowly made her way to the center of the clearing and laid down.

Kuoni stopped and held her breath as soon as Doc started coughing. "You'll find out soon." She sighed. She looked curiously at Doc growling, turning as he walked back. It was then she noticed Wyatt missing. "Wyatt!" She yelped, nearly heading back when she heard the brothers talking. Glaring at her son, she decided to just carry him.
Soon, she noticed the trees thinning. "Almost there." She mumbled around Wyatt, beginning to recognize a few scents.
Nima, happy to see the trees thinning, hopped on ahead, breaking into a clearing with a small cabin. "Is this it momma!?" She called back, noticing a couple wolves in the yard. She froze where she was. Momma said look out for strangers...
Tersi stood on Kuoni's back. She could see the tops of her brother's heads from here. She snickered when Wyatt got carried, then looked on as Nima ran ahead. "Hey!" She yipped, hopping down and running after Nima. She too stopped when she saw the strangers, but tilted her head with interest. An audience! She looked back as Kuoni emerged. "Is this it?" She repeated her sister's question.
Wyatt looked up with a start. "Huh? Whoa!" He hopped away from the plant, swatting Doc as he passed. "It's just Wyatt." He grumbled.
Catching up to the others, he whined as he was picked up by his scruff. "I can walk myself!" He protested, getting a small shake in return. Well, at least he could still look from here.

"I know but if you're not going to keep up I'll call you by your full name." Doc said following everyone else. He stepped into the clearing and looked around. "Who lives all the way out here?!" He asked noticing two other wolves, "Hey who are they? And why is one all bandaged up?" He looked at Lux and started to walk forward.
Vipin stuck his tongue out at Lux. He then heard voices approaching the cabin and turned to the path. He then saw his aunt Kuoni with four pups. "Aunt Kuoni! What brings you here?" He called walking towards her. He then noticed the pattern on the pups. "Hey..... Are they your's?! When did you get pregnant?!"
Lux was enjoying the feel of the sun when she heard voices and then Vipin. "Kuoni? Kuoni's here?" She said lifting her head up. Kuoni was there indeed. "Hey Kuoni! So you finally had your pups, huh? Congrats!"

Kuoni set Wyatt down when she reached the clearing. "Yep, this is it." She said. She smiled when she saw Vipin and Lux, though she flinched slightly at Vipin's second question. "Yes Vipin, they're mine. Kids, this is your cousin, Vipin." She looked at Lux and smiled, quickly walking forward. "Thanks. Hey, how is... how is she doing today?" She looked back at her pups. "I was hoping they could meet her today."
Nima barked happily when Kuoni showed they were okay. New friends perhaps? And the one wolf was close to their age. "Hi! I'm Nima." She said, padding up to Vipin. "You're my cousin? Are there other cousins too?"
Tersi shook her fur out, trying to get rid of the remaining dirt from earlier. Then she struck her best 'I'm cute' pose and strutted after her mother.
Wyatt sat where he was, watching everyone else interact. He was content just watching over them. He looked over at Doc and inclined his head toward the cabin. "Who do you think is in there? And when did we get a cousin?"

Doc looked at Vipin and Lux. So one of them was their cousin Vipin. He then looked at Wyatt and shrugged. "I don't know who's in there. And I guess we got a cousin awhile back. He looks way older than us." He said walking towards the others, "Hi I'm Doc Holliday." He wagged his tail and then began coughing.
"Wow. My cousins.... Wait until Grandma sees." Vipin said looking at the pups, "So there's Nima and Doc Holliday. Who are the other two?" He looked at them smiling.
Lux stood up slowly and hobbled over to Kuoni and the others. She then saw Doc and heard his coughing. "What's wrong with him?" She asked. She then noticed his mask and narrowed her eyes. That mask reminded her of someone. "Oh are you talking about Fiorenza? She's doing alright......" She said trailing off.

Kuoni looked over at Doc and her eyes flinched down to the ground. "I don't know." She said softly. Then she mustered up a smile and raised her head. "It's good to see you're up and about now." Her smile slipped. "Just alright? So... we probably shouldn't see her now..." She sighed. "Could I at least see her? Maybe it'd be okay just me. And is Aphrodite around?"
Nima wagged her tail. "Grandma?! We have a grandma too?! Did you hear that Doc?" She was nearly beside herself smiling. More family! "Oh, the blue one over there is Tersi, and that is-"
"My name's Wyatt." Wyatt said, walking over quickly.
"Earp."
"Just Wyatt!" stressed
Tersi was too busy trying to look cute to pay attention to the different conversations. She huffed slightly when Lux didn't say anything. She cleared her throat and strutted over to stand inbetween Kuoni and the new female, only to recieve a light bop on the head.
"Tersi, I'm speaking to Lux right now. Be patient." Kuoni sighed. "Well, this is my daughter Tersi." She said. Otherwise, she knew Tersi would start with a temper, and that would make a scene to disturb the entire woods, including those inside the cabin.

"Too bad.... I'm sure my one friend Tigan would know what's wrong with Doc." Lux said sighing, "Oh Fiorenza is just fine.... too fine for her own good." Annoyance filled her voice when she spoke of Fiorenza.
Vipin shook his head with a laugh. "You're only acting this way to her because she took over your care giving." He said turning to Kuoni, "Grandma is taking care of Lux's injuries and it's driving Lux mad." He then looked at his cousins and nodded to each of them. "Wyatt Earp... oops. Sorry Wyatt.... and Tersi." He said tilting his head, "Tersi's a pretty name."
Lux rolled her eyes at Vipin. "Whatever Vipin." She said, "You guys can go in. Fiorenza is probably in Blue's room and Aphrodite..... would be on the couch. I'm not sure if she's here still."
Doc watched the entire exchange between everyone. He then looked at the cabin and grinned. He then began sneaking towards it hoping to sneak in.
Blue walked out of the front door and spotted all of the moonlits on the 'lawn'. "Oh. Looks like we have guests." She said going down the steps. When she reached about half way to the wolves she noticed a pup away from everyone else. "Aw! What a cutie!" She said picking up Doc, "He's adorable.... and judging from his markings he looks like he related to Fiorenza." She then looked at Lux and frowned. "She's going to be mad if she catches you out here Lux." She shook her head then set Doc down, "Well I'm off to get some groceries. Flash keeps eating all of the food." She then strolled out of the clearing heading for the main house then the town.

Kuoni tensed. 'Tigan! Why does she have to know Tigan!?' She shrugged noncommitaly, sighed in relief at the news of her mother and then giggled. "She keeping you inside then? Or trying to at least?"
She looked up as a human came out. "Doc! What have I said about wandering off! You can go in when I do!"
Nima looked at Lux and winced. "That looks like it hurts. Does it hurt much?" She said with a slight wimper, leaning in to sniff at a cast. How did someone get injuries like that?
Wyatt nodded when Vipin corrected himself. "So we'll be going in soon to meet the special friend?" He asked.
Tersi giggled sweetly. "Thank you Vipin." She said, smiling at Vipin and batting her eyes. ((not flirting, just trying to look cute)) She gapped at Doc getting attention from the human. "Hey!" She yipped in a slight pout before being pounced on by Wyatt, who was only trying to distract her from making a fuss. She growled playfully and started wrestling with him, successfully distracted.

Lux fixed Kuoni with a glared then sighed at what Blue said. "Yes she is. Then it doesn't help that she keeps fussing over me to make sure I'm not in pain or that my wounds are still closed, etc, etc." She said looking down at Nima, "It's bearable. Trust me. I've been in worst shape and more pain." She then turned to the cabin and began hobbling towards it. "You guys go on in.... I'll be in as soon as I get over there."
Vipin looked at Tersi and then Wyatt. "Your welcome Tersi....." He said shaking his head, "Yeah why don't we go in. We'll see if Aphrodite is here and then go see Grandma."
Doc stuck out his tongue at Kuoni when she wasn't looking. "I was just going to check it out." He said coughing. Once his spell was over he looked at Tersi and grinned. "Hey that human said I was cute and didn't even mention you!" He bragged/taunted.

Kuoni smirked lightly in responce to Lux's glare. She was still a bit shaken that Lux knew Tigan, but she tried to brush it off. Tigan was allowed to have friends. It was simply coincidence.
"Okay kids. Lets go in." She smiled and headed to the cabin. She stuck her head into the front door. "Hello? Mother? Aphrodite?"
Nima smiled up at Lux. "That's good. I think..." She pondered that a moment and shrugged. She looked up happily when Kuoni said they could go in and bounced up to the cabin.
Wyatt groaned. "Doooc! Don't be an instigater!" He cast a worried look at Tersi.
Hearing Doc, Tersi stuck her lip out and started pouting. Huffing, she stomped off after Nima, grumbling half-heartedly about Kuoni blocking her from the human's view.

Doc began laughing when Tersi reacted to what he said. However his laugh soon became cough and he was unable to move due to how back it was.
Vipin darted up to the cabin and slipped past Kuoni. "Just come on it Kuoni. You don't have to call out." He said walking towards the living area. He looked at the couch but Aphrodite wasn't there. "Well Aphordite isn't here..... maybe she's in another room." He shrugged then began making his way towards Blue's room.
Lux hobbled after everyone but stopped to make sure that Doc was okay. Once his coughing spell was over she helped him to the cabin.
Fiorenza marched out of Blue's room infuriated. "LUX!!!! Get back in here this instance! You're not well enough to be out and about!" She screamed. She then noticed Vipin and then Kuoni. "Kuoni?" She asked confused. It had been..... how long again? Months? Weeks? Days? ..... She couldn't remember.

Kuoni flinched from Fiorenza's shouting, then snickered softly. She smiled when Fiorenza saw her. "Hi mom." She said, trotting over and nuzzling her. "Mom. I- I have to introduce you to- um, some puppies." She smiled warily and looked back to make sure they were following. "Mom. These... are my children."
Nima was at Kuoni's heels after hearing someone yelling. She looked up carefully at the gray flower female. "Hi." She said softly, still hiding behind her mother's leg.
Tersi marched in after her sister and mother, also hiding from the female yelling. Once the female stopped yelling, and her mother nuzzled her, Tersi quickly slid back into posing mode, strutting up to sit adorably in front of Fiorenza. "Hello." She said sweetly.
Wyatt shook his head, then froze on the porch, looking back at Doc and Lux. He ran into the cabin at the yelling, calming instantly when he realized it wasn't aimed at his family. '"Mom?" Is that grandma?' He looked up at Kuoni. "Is that grandma?" Recieving a nod from his mom, Wyatt looked up at Fiorenza and wagged his tail. "Hi grandma." He said excitedly, hopping up to sniff at Fiorenza's paws.
