Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lera watched the huamn's motion as he pointed out the 'door
'. What? was there something outside? Was he just insane? The thought of leaving the den never came to Lera's head, not once. She remained, her paws on the table and looking at Bran. Then back to Gaara. He was bleeding badly and it was far beyond being able to be licked clean or nursed by any normal wolf science. Wasn't bran going to do somehting? Why was he just standing at the door and pointing outside? How stupid humans were!

Lera let out a small sort of 'wuffle'. She was not going anywhere and if he wanted her to leave then he might just as ell burn the entire house down. The noise was also to get his attention back onto gaara. She nosed his seemingly lifeless face before looking back to bran. She continued to look both ways. Perhaps this human would understand her signs.

Lera took notice to the child in the corner who seemed very uneasy and nervous...

((Since Ryu had to totter off to bed Hinto gets to be Lera's next victem razz
*laughs at suuru*))

Lera paid no attention to the crow's griping in her mind. She ahd showed bran whta needed to be shown. The she-wolf held no intention of harming anyone in the cabin and clearly needed the tall two legged to heal Gaara. She gave a soft whine before lowering her paws off of the table and back onto the ground. She would stay, and give Bran some room to heal Gaara and so she killed time by investigating furthur.

She sniffed about looking at pachments, medicines, food which was distasteful to her, and odd assortments of clothes. She rotated counter clockwise in the room until the came to the human child, muttering some odd human jiberish. He gave a loud cough, which startled Lera n_n;

Her ears were perked in a childish curiosity...this human reminded her SO much of the humans she had met back when she was a pup. There was a sister and a brother, both in the human settlement in the neutral areas. She observed....

The child looked deathly pale and did not seemed to look in the direction of Lera. Instead she sniffed his knee and then moving up to press a cold and wet not on the young boy's shoulder, almsot as if to read his temperature.

Pale, deathly pale, what was the difference? Wolves were a pretty poor judge of human character and compared to the humans Lera met in her puphood he sure was a hell of a lot paler. Perhaps it was a winter thing...like when the hares shed their brown fur for white? She gave a mental shrug before watching the clear eyes that saw through her.

Lera was pretty much calm before the child tocuhed her and he seemed a lot more shooken up than she did. The pat on her chest, to lera, was a sign of submission and that contented her. Pretty much anything touched below her nose was considered thus. Humans had no claws nor sharp teeth and so Lera didn't have any concerns over her own health being thratened by this child. In fact, the huamn fingers felt good, as wolves to not have movable digits and was quite convinent.

Yet the she-wolf would make no move to lick the child's face as did domestic dogs. Instead sher agve a wide yawn before sitting next the the child, her wide range of vision keeping both bran and the child in her sight.
Yet Lera became quickly bored and experimented by purring paw on the child's knee, carfull to not scratch him.

(( gonk Soo long! Gaaaaack. Can anyone poassibly summarize this in a couple of sentences? I seriously haven't the time to read it all. Althoguh I shall try! Is there anything I/Tobias -neeeds- to know? ))

[] Hmm. Gaara and keara are both wounded an in Bran's house thing. Kam-Kam left a while back and ran into 'Noke and hasn't been seen since. Lexi and Lera are looking over the pups. Haku's running aorund and Fea dropped off a human kid thing. []

Tobias' ears perked up as he heard his name being called. "JADE!" He called back, hoping this wasn't what he thought it was. Apon finding her, he skidded to a stop, sending snow everywhere. It was her grandfather!

Eyes widening, he nudged him. He couldn't hear any breathing, or his heart. His fur was tangled with snow and ice, as if he'd been laying there for a while, and had frozen. His eyes were open and staring blankly, but they didn't look alive. They were full of fear and pain, he thought, sickly. His head drooped. How could he tell Jade? Somehow, Tobias had known all along, however. The truth was inevitable. He glanced at Jade, and sighed solemnly.

"I think... I think he's..." He stopped. he couldn't really say anything more. Sadly, he forced out the words "Gone." in a somewhat high-pitched squeak.

Jade's eyes swelled with tears, and her body turned ice cold. A horrified and sickening feeling rose from her stomach, on which she gagged as it tried to escape her mouth. Slowly swaying Jade felt un-able to hold back any longer. Her eyes over-flowed with tears, streaming down her cheeks, as if competiting for first place.

Jade felt incredibly light-headed, and she began to loose her balance. She collapsed into the snow, staring at her limp grand-father. Repeating in her mind were the words 'Come back to me'. Jade shut her eyes tight, praying that it was all a dream. A deep and hollow gasp came just a foot in front of her, in which Jade was too shaken to observe. Forcing her eyes open, the frail body of her grand-father moved, filled with air as he began breathing.

Jade pushed to her feet, tears still streaming I knew it! I saw something move before In the bushes! I knew you wouldn't leave me! Jade nuzzled into her grand-father's side, who was very weak and almost frozen from the snow. Tobias! We have to get him to the cave! It's not to far from here!

Jade was thinking very quickly, which was strange considering the emotional rollercoaster she had just travelled on. Your going to be ok Pops. Your going to be ok.
