Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kyrina: Really! that was uncalled for. Humf *plops down in the corner*

Sangha walks over. "Why hello there beautiful " he said gracefully as he bows down.

Kyr blinks in surprise at being addressed. She blushes and glances at her feet. "h,Hi"

"awww there is no need to be shy with me" he spoke as he left her head with his snout and flung his tail to gent brush up against her side.

Her cheeks redden quickly. "a,And why's that?' She said trying to regain her old spunk. His tail sent small shivers throughout her body. "Now that's unfair, that tickles!" She playfully bats him across the nose before realizing that she's actually interacting and withdraws slightly.


"simple, i wont let you" he said c**k with a big grin on his face. His tail gently brushed on her shoulder one again. "And what are you going to do about it?" he added to her comment

She tried really hard not to respond to the tickles but a giggle escaped horrified she clamped her maw shut. She desperately wanted to get to run but she was trapped. So she did the next best thing, mock bravery. She fluffed up her fur. "i I'll get ya back!" And with that she flipped her proofed up tail and tried to tickle him back.


A big smile grew upon his face as she mocked back. "I will look forward to it my dear." he said as he nuzzled her check then quickly dogged her strike.

The nuzzle took her quite by surprised and she squealed before a glare came across her face. This time with a bit more determination she brushed her tail against his fur just hard enough to hopefully tickle him back. She had a sinking feeling that she was in way over her head, but darned if she was gonna admit that to him.


his eyes widen has he felt her tail agist him " Your fur is so soft my dear and your sent if so sweet. i think i could stay around you have a very very long time" he whispered into her ear.

Kyrina snickered at the look on his face but it was completely removed from her face with his following words. Her thoughts were completely vacant as she stared dumbfounded. She gulped very audibly. "th,th,thank you...I think..."


Sangha sneakers as he hears her stutter. "whats wrong me dear?" he ask with a grin. then in the corner of his eye he could se another beautiful female.

Kyr started at his snicker. " y,You've totally thrown me for a loop. i,I have no idea what's going on." Noticing he's a tad distracting she sticks her tail under his nose and tries to tickle it. "b,By the way my name's Kyrina, Sir Rude boi."


he pawed her tail away and looked over back at her " What a beautiful name for such a beautiful Shakaiyo. And don't worry i just like to know my surroundings, my eyes are still fixed on you." he said smuggle.

Again she was shocked into silence. her eyes moved past him and she saw Forget-Me-Not. " Oh look I know her!" and she quickly sidesteps him and walks over to her. "h,Hi." Bah she had no idea how to take the male she just encountered and she prayed silently that Forget-Me would help her out.


Lifting her head up from her paws, she just about leaped to her paws, she had heard some of what was going on and went to greet the one coming towards her 'Hello there. Having boy troubles?' Looks over towards the male

Sangha trotted over to Kyrina and forget-me-not. "well, are you going to introduce me to your beautiful friend?" he asked as he looked at forget-me-not and bowed to her.

"i,Is that what I have?" Glaring slightly as he joined them. "Sir Rude Boi meet Forget-Me-Not." Once his attention wasn't directly on her she took a small breath and actually looked at him. She supposed he could be of the handsome nature, but he confused her so much.


Sangha giggles at kyrina calling him rude and glanced at forget-me-not. " Hello, forget-me-not my name is Sangha. and don't worry i wont forget a face like yours anytime soon" he added playfully.

"th,that's a nice name." a small smile creeps to her face, before she remembers that she's supposed to be annoyed at him. "Does every male act like this one? Cause it'd be nice to know if I meet anyone else." she truly was naive.


"no, not all of them but i guess you where luck to run into me first then" she spoke and winked a her.

"n,Not sure if lucky would be the word I'd use." A true giggle made it's way out of her maw. Perhaps being social was a good thing after all.


"oh is that so? would you rather have ran onto no eyes over there" he asked. "In a way that comment hurt, maybe you should make it up to me now." he said smirking.

Forget-Me-Not, watching them both, gave a nod. 'Hello, most males act like him. Others worse, few are kind. I have met at least one kind male, but that was a different time.'


"are you saying, i am not kind? Now i really am hurt." he added. "you try to be nice and you get shut down"

*Stein sits and watches some others interact, he would join but he really didn't feel like putting in the effort.Putting up with Ayree had him tired out. He yawns and continues to watch.*


"well sorry miss pop princess, if you want i could be a lot more mean if you would like that better." he said has his eyes got a little cold. " are better yet i can introduces you to no eyes here." he added calling her bluff.

"i,I don't know what to make of you, but I don't think you're unkind." She really felt bad now. She looked back over to the corner and pondered returning to the shadows, maybe she shouldn't be out socializing. " i,If you'd rather I go away I will." she starts to back away towards the corner. "i,I'm sorry." unwanted tears start to fall.


Forget-Me-Not, shakes her head and sighs placing her rump on the ground. 'Well what a tangled up mess. No sir, you are kind, but there.' shakes her head again, 'never mind, don't mind this one's old bantering. Mine tongue shouldn't even wag to things one does not know.' Turning she headed back towards where she had been, 'sorry to have cause problems, good day to you.'

His ears perked up as he looked over to see her crying. He quickly rushed over and wiped her tears with his tail. "I am sorry, i didn't mean to make you cry. Eyes like your should never have tears falling from them." she said really gently as he nuzzled her trying to calm her down.

"it is fine you haven't caused any problems, i was just playing." he quickly started so she wouldn't feel bad and leave.

The unexpected touch made her jump. "i,I didn't mean to insult you.i,i,I'm so sorry." The tears had stopped when he touched her only to reappear slowly as she spoke. "i,I'm not used to interacting..." She slowly backed up when she accidently bumped into No eyes. "o,Oops s,sorry."


Coming to where she has started, really just only a few feet away from where they had been, she laid back down. 'Then one should choose more wisely the game they play. For some playing can cause problems, mostly from misunderstandings.'

*Stein watching everything unfold,The female starting to cry at something the male had said to her and a small growls develops, but it quickly goes away as the male rushes over to her to apologize and comfort her. He smiles slightly and nods, now thats the way a male should treat a lady. He puts his head down still considering going over to them.*


"i am sorry if i come off to strong for you, i will try to ton it down." he said hoping that will make he feel better. and wiped away the rest of her tears. in the corner of his eye he could see another male not to far off.

She moved away form No eyes. "i,it's really ok? i,I figured I had done something wrong. Slowly her tears stopped. "th,Thank you." only then did she realize that there was another stranger. "Oh m,my. i've made a complete fool out of myself." her cheeks blazed red with embarrassment.


"of course it is, and no you did nothing wrong" she said s he nuzzled her. Sangha laughed a little "It is ok your cuter that way" she said as he laughed.

*Stein realized he was begining to be noticed by the others, he sighed a little, guess it was only a matter of time befor he had to interact with them. Without getting up he nodded a hello to the female* "No ma'am you didn't, actually it twas the other who has made a fool of themselves, if anyone." With this he shot a small glare to the male that was just a simple "behave yourself"*


"c,cuter..."It seems she finally caught on as her cheeks blazed red once again."u,Umm thank you...you're not too bad to look at either." The last said as she shyly looked at the ground. Looking at the other male she blushed slightly again." Thank you." was all she could muster.


he laughed again as she blushed and said he wasn't bad looking. he nuzzled her again due to her adorableness. He then caught the other males glance. Sangha trotted off to the male. " Looks like your hard, are you that happy to see me?" he whispered in his ear. he couldn't help it, he just had to say that pun. The other male looked if he was made of stone with crakes and gray colors. it was such a great pick up line to just ignore.

*Stein watched as the male walked over to him and start talking to him. He didn't like how close he was getting to him, as the male whispered something in his ear he blinked a few time unsure if he heard him right. He looked the male in the eyes and glared even harder. The forwardness of this male was shocking and a little aggravating.* "Excuse me.."*He growled a little and stood up looking the male in the face*


Kyr stood plastered to her spot, for the life of her she could not understand Sangha. One moment he's all into her the next he's gone to talk to someone else. She was too far away to catch what what he said but it left a sinking feeling in her stomach. well two can play that game she thought and looked around to see if there was someone else for her to talk with but the other male's words stopped her and she turned to see what was happening. "o,Oh my." escaped from her mouth.


"i think you heard just fine, handsome."he said smugly. then looked over at Kyr to make sure she was still there. When he saw her starting at him and the other male he just simply winked at her.

*His growl get more intense as this smug little male keeps getting more and more aggravating* "Yes, I did hear you just fine, but what makes you think you could take to me like that, you may think everyone will just melt at your every word..But if you keep that up to me ill wipe that smug look off your face before you can make another wise crack to me, you should learn your place.*His ears are back now and his growl is louder than ever*


"now now there it no need to be all aggressive. And i don't think everyone will melt to my words but you know i could so easily rock your world." he added not thinking to much of his threats.

Kyr had no idea how to handle this it seems Sangha was this way to everyone. She really shouldn't bother getting involved and yet...She bounded in between the two males." So sorry Sir, my name's Kyrina, and this Rude One is Sangha. I don't know what he said to you but I'm sorry it upset you." she glanced at Sangha with a look of what-in-the-world-did-you-say look.


*Stein rolls his eyes at the puns about his appearance and is getting to the point of putting him in his place*"Now why do you think that I would be the least bit interested in you? Hm? Your NOT charming, you don't seem very smart and you are about to have an unsightly mark on your face pretty soon here son.*He snarls a bit to show that he is not just blowing smoke, if he doesn't move away soon he'll knock him on his a***


Requiem: *Watches mildly as two males argue, and a female steps between them. Snorting, she sits down and begins cleaning one of her forepaws dismissively*


*Stein looks at the female so willing to protect the male and tilts his head* Please, ma'am move aside this here "Sangha" needs to learn he can't go off flapping his gums. Now please move aside."

Kyrina smartly steps aside. "s,Sorry" Is all she can stutter beforeturning her back on the males to avoid the up coming scene. once turned she notices the other female and quickly moves towards her. "h,Hi"


Requiem glanced up as she heard the female retreat, then move towards her. The blue Shakaiyo eyed the other before her calmly, but her eyes were calculating. "Good evening," She greeted, setting her now clean paw on the ground.


Sangha just smiled at the other male and turned to Kyr. he would of normally started there but he didn't want Kyr to see him fight withe other male. This was her first time meeting so many people and he didn't want to think everyone acted like this. "We can finish this later, stud." he said to the other male as he reached Kyr. "i am sorry for that, i didn't mean for you to see that. thank you for trying to brake it up. your pretty brave." he said as he nuzzled her check. "i would of been in a miss if it wasn't for you." he said with a smile.

She smiled softly at the female. "n,Not sure if it's a good evening or not. Do Males always act so...I don't even know the word for it." When Sangha approaches her she goes rigid when he nuzzles her. 'Not sure if it was bravery or stupidity. And I have a feeling you're still in a mess. Why would you go do such a thing?" She sighs awaiting the mess that's surely to follow Sangha over. Suddenly the fur on the back of her neck stands on end. Turning around she sees No Eyes looking at them, another blush creeps across her face.


*He snorted as the male retreated, good. He shook himself trying to get the male out of his head, he couldn't wait to put him in his place. He would wait for now but if he tried to start anything else he would have to act.He sat back down and eyed the other again, watching. He was so busy before he hadn't realized there was yet another female here. Oh great, the male,Sangha, was bound to start in on her now, he would have to keep an eye on him.*

Requiem had taken note of Angra earlier, but failed to notice the empty eyes the first time around. She stared for a brief moment, before shaking her head and looking away, seemingly unphased by the bloody, empty sockets.


"I am sorry i didn't mean to worry you. He just took my words to seriously. it isn't like i said anything mean to him are anything. I think he was just embarrass and that was the only way he knew how to handle it. Most males are like that, sadly." she stated "I still think it was brave and i know i have to deal with him later but it wont be my first fight" he added in a laugh trying to lighten the mood.

Ayree pops her head in and sees quiet a few people in here including Stein, Figuring that Stein has had enough of her for the moment she padded past him to the others.Her tail wagging behind her. She popped up behind the rest of them* "BOO"


Requiem flicked an ear at the newcomer, before commenting dryly, "You realize that sneaking up on others is a good way to startle them into attacking you." Had Requiem not heard something coming, she'd probably be at Ayree's throat right about now....


" I am not one of those girls that likes watching males fight, so forgive me for not being happy that you'll be in a fight." The voice behind her made her jump into the air. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" her landing was not graceful and she managed to bump into someone else." Sorry."


Requiem sort of gave Kyr an odd look, before she screamed and made Requiem wince at the loud sound. "Oh for..." she muttered, shaking her head in mild disgust.


*She giggled just a little*" Sorry I wasn't trying to start anything or scare anyone that much, I was just trying to have a little fun, ya'know livin thing up?*She looked at the female that she seemed to scare quiet a bit* "Gee im sorry, if I had known you were jumpy I wouldn't had done that" *She smiled again*


"I know that, that is why i didn't get into one right now. I wouldn't want you to see that." Sangha was so focus on Kyr he didn't notice the other female till Kyr freaked out. He gently nuzzled her trying to calm her down. He then turn to the new female and nuzzled her check. "please don't go around scaring others. i would hate it if someone go hurt by falling from it dear." he spoke smoothly and looked at her,

Deciding things were a bit crowded with Kyr, Sangha and Ayree, Requiem stood and left them without a word, joining Angra, who had seemingly growled at her. Sitting near him, she tilted her head at the dashed out markings he made. "What were you working on?" She asked, tone mild.


*She sighed a little as the blue female walked away but quickly perked up again because she still had two people to talk to. She dance around them a=still smiling*Sooo, whats your names?


"My name is Sangha and this jumpy one is Kyr. What is yours?" he asked calmly. His could see Kyr in the corner of his eye so he could make sure she was ok. He also turned one of his ears to the blue female to make sure if she needed it he could help.

*She smiled* My name is Ayree nice to meet you *She finally comes to a stop and plops on her stomach in front of the two, She looks at the female Kyr* Again I'm sorry I scared you so bad, I just thought I should liven things up a little bit. *She rolled onto her back and continued to stare at the two while upside down*


"trust me it was lively before you got her" he said as he glanced up at the rock like shakaiyo. Sangha tilted his head to the side as he watched ayree upside down. " you know Aryee is a beautiful name" he commented

Kyr calmed down eventually enough to speak for herself. "i,It's no big deal. i,I'm just not used to so many around me and well today has been very...new."


"that is why i am trying to be good" sangha said as he flicked his tail.

*Still upside down she she started smiling again, as she does a lot and noticed the male looking at Stein* Yea don't mind him, he can act like a grumpy old man some times, I'm surprised he doesn't yell at people to stay off his lawn*She giggles a little* And thank you, I like your stripes* She then turns her attention to Kyr* I love meeting new people, the more people the more fun things can be. *rolls a little*


Tirion eyed the growing group from afar, his tail curled around his leg in a sense of nervousness, at first it had only been a few Shakaiyo, but apparently the two who'd originally caught his eye were really popular, and so the group had grown, to twice, even three times it's natural size.As he eyed them from afar he longed to have the discipline and courage to survive a group like that, but his social anxiety always got the better of him and left him locked to the ground he stood on.With a heavy sigh, the male took a shaky paw forward and tried to make his presence known and quietly and non obvious as possible

Sangha laughed about what she said about old stoney other there. "that is very true. and thanks i like your colors." he added. In the corner of his eye he could see a new male in the distance and smile grew across his face.

" i,I suppose meeting people could be fun but it just seems so..." As she tries to think of how she wanted to finish a lone figure caught her eye so when he attempted to move forward she caught the noise. "h,Hello."


As usual the moment someone caught wind of his movements, the male froze in his steps and began quivering more actually necessary, for a brief second he flashed to a memory he had of a female named Zephyr who he'd met during a rain storm. This fear was much worse than hers.Quickly averting his eyes and back peddling away from the group Tirion didn't watch where he was going and fell over a rather large rock he'd walked right over, immediately frightened by the change in his movements he began yelping loudly and quickly attempted to catch sight of what had startled him so severely.

Kyr quickly raced over to the male. "a,a,Are you alright?" She understood all to well how he was feeling. "p,Perhaps with both of us we can survive all these meetings." She tried to gently help him back to his feet.


Sangha so was watching he saw everything. He quickly rushed over to him. "Are you ok?" he asked as he looked around his body to see if he was hurt.


*Stein had nodded off when a male stepped on him and fell, he barked and turned to see who the hell had just stepped on him. He got up noticing that the male was quiet frightened* Are you alright?

Ayree turned over and all the sound and looked to see Stien being stepped on she started laughing and quickly raced over there to make sure he didnt start anything.*

The further unexpected attention only drove the male into further hysterics, he jumped rather quickly and immediately regained as much composure as possible."I-i'm fine, I just fell. Not much to see here!"He mumbled trying to cover his pale eyes with his increasingly grey tufts of fur.

Sangha walked around him to his other side to make sure he didn't run off. "You have no need to be embarrass we are not going to hurt you or anything." he spoke "Well i don't know about stoney here"She added in a laughter. Sangha brushed his tail across the males side hoping it would help calm him down.

Kyr couldn't believe so many had come over. "o,ok guys let's give him some space. s,So sorry. I didn't think anyone else saw.i,I..." She slowly backs farther away. Turning to Stein. "a,Are you ok?" Perhaps she'd best give the new male space and occupy herself with checking on Stein.


*Stein grumbled at the stoney comment and stood up, seeing that the male was well taken care of he shook himself and walked away sitting where hopefully he would be left alone, atleast for now. He also hoped no one would step on him again. He hadn't really noticed the female ask him if he was alright, he was still trying to get over the fact that he was just stepped on*


*Ayree watched as Sangha and Kyr tried to comfort the male and then noticed Stein walking away. She sighed, He would do well to at least try to make some friends. She shrugged and continued to watch the new male*


Quickly realizing his mistake, Tirion yanked his head around and dipped it lightly to the stone colored male. "Y-you kinda blended there, I apologize"Noticing all too late that his exit had been blocked, the male had no choice but to attempt interaction with this strange company. The female seemed overly friendly, and the striped one was actually making his heart beat quicker than it should, though not in the way he suspected the Male would be interested.

The other female had her eyes narrowed and didn't look altogether pleased with the lack of tact around that poor male. He had been moving like he was already scared, then he'd tripped, and now he had strangers crowding him, and one in his space, blocking an exit. You don't trap someone who is already scared.She was having a harder and harder time keeping herself from stepping in.

Kyr noticing that she was still not helping the situation backed away which also left the new comer an escape route if he so choose to take it. She tried to blend in with her surroundings so that like the new male she could make her escape too.

*Ayree yawned, this new male wasn't much fun and he seemed to be quite timid. she decided to go and wait for something fun to happen, She walked over to a area where no one was and plopped down waiting, She hope that male with the pretty marking would come and talk to her again*


Sangha looked at the new males body up and down looking to see if he had any cuts. Since he didn't see any and sighed in relief. "You don't seem to hurt so lets try to stand up, ok?" Sangha's tail flicked across his side again and then lowered his head. "If you need any help just let me know." he added. Sangha could see Kyr in the corner of his eye and kept track of her

The tail against his side wasn't expected, nor was it a welcome gesture. He wasn't 100% certain whether the male was doing it as a calming gesture, or as something more, but either way he wasn't quite sure of his comfort level with it.A quick shudder ran down his back as the male weakly climbed to his feet and stumbled to his left a bit. He was shaky, and more than a bit anxious but he felt he needed to attempt to prove nothing was ailing him, maybe if they noticed signs of good health they'd back off, which reminded him to look the female squarely in the eye and bow in thank you to her for her exit strategy. She may never know it, but he appreciated it. "No i'm fine, really I am! See?" The male wobbled slightly, and hit the dirt with a thud, the overexertion on his heart had given him another fainting spell.

Kyr knew that Sangha was watching her so she sat on the ground away for the new male who nodded her way before fainting. She stood but did not move forward. "i,i,Is he ok?"


Ayree noticed how Sangha kept looking at Kyr and sighed a little, of course. She put her head down until she noticed the male faint, A jolt went through her and she rushed back over there. Not wanting to crowd the poor male again but she began to worry about him*


"Your no where near great" Sangha said in a sigh. "looks like he sprang his left paw abit."Sangha added. Sangha then looked at the Ayree. "Ayree go find something i can use to wrap his paw up." he said as a order. As much as he knew this male didn't want anyone around him, he didn't want to pretend nothing happened. What kind of Shakaiyo would he be if he left this male alone and hurt....he could just get into more trouble and Sangha wouldn't forgive himself if he let that happen. Maybe he was being to consider but he rather be that then none at all.

*She nodded and dashed off to find something. She came back with a piece of cloth she found curiously lying around* Will this work?


The moment Spiritpaw saw Tirion fall, she had darted forward finally, past Requiem who had stopped laughing, and was now frowning a bit. "Move aside!" she barked, her tone surprisingly authoritative as she got closer. "He doesn't need a splint," she added sharply, eyeing Sangha as though he were some sort of bug. "I imagine he'll be fine shortly," she informed the younger female, who had been insightful enough to provide Tirion with an exit. Spiritpaw took a moment to look and pressed her muzzle near his throat, checking the rate of his heart before lifting her head and stating calmly, "If you'll excuse us, I need to take my brother home."Bowing her head again, she shuffled Tirion until he was over her shoulders, and dragged him off.


Kyr watched in silence as the new female came to take the male away. "p,Please tell him I'm s,sorry." She called as they left.

"If he was your brother you should of took care of him in the beginning. Some sister you are." He added as he walked off annoyed. Sangha was just trying to help and he found this new female rude.

*Ayree plopped on the ground after the male got carried off and felt utterly helpless.She didn't like this feeling, She put her head on her paw and just layed there*


Kyr silently trotted next to Sangha. "She prolly wanted him to meet people but once he fell she knew she had to get him away. Please cheer up." She actually had the courage to nuzzle him hoping to speed along the cheering up process.


Sangha turned to her still annoyed over the sister and plopped down next to her. "Thank you for you help even if was ignored" he said mumbling and he flung his tail around. He turned to Kyr i can understand that but once he feel she should of been there. even if she wanted him to get to know people getting hurt isn't the way to it." He added

*She mumbled and rolled over on her back. She didn't know why but she just felt so bad that there wasn't anything she could do to help.She sighed and stared at the sky*


"Are you ok Ayree?" he asked since it seemed something to be bothering her as well.

Since the nuzzle did nothing to help the situation she too flopped to the ground. "Everyone has their own way of doing things. I feel like I'm to blame, I knew exactly how he was feeling and I pointedly drew attention to him for my own selfish reasons. I do hope I run across his sister again so I can say sorry." Knowing that Sangha's attention was divided she figured she was just rambling to herself.


"you did nothing wrong, i notice him before he feel and i knew he didn't want us around but i staid there. But i don't think i did anything wronge either. " he told her trying to cheer her up abit too

*She was spacing out when she head Sangha say something, She looked to him and smiled trying to hide her discomfort. She would rather everybody just be happy again then worry about her.* Mhm. Just thinking of something to do.


"are you sure?" he asked as he nuzzled her check. "you remind a lot of someone i know."

Kyr watched as Sangha nuzzled Ayree and shrugged after all why should she care who he nuzzled. She turned her attention to the watching. "w,Welcome back, what did No Eyes have to say? Was he interesting?"


Mhm, im sure* She blushed a little at him nuzzling her, no ones done that before, not even Stein when she was sad. She looked at Sangha*Hm? Who do i remind you of?


"Kemuri, She is like a mother to me tho. in fact she raised me almost, but your not as hyper and wild as her. but believe me that is a good think though" He purked up his ears and looked around half expected her to pop out of no were and he didn't know how she would reacted to that last comment.

*Ayree laughed a little* Well I can be hyper but today has been, and interesting day to say the least.*She stood up and stretched a little. She suddenly got a bad itch inside her ear.She plopped on her rear and started to scratch at it with her back leg but the itch refused to stop*


Sangha started to laugh not only because Ayree looked so funny trying to scratch her ear but at Kyr as well. he feel did find a funny group of girls to be around.

*She finally got the illusive itch and stood back up again. She should probably go introduce her self to the other female too she though. She walked over to the female and smiled* I'm sorry I don't think I've introduced myself yet, My name is Ayree*She gave another warm smile*

Kyrina softly padded so not paying attention she fails to notice the two. Her mind still trying to figure out what to make of Sangha. She mumbles something about no personal space.


Nova spots the female he met yesterday, calling over to her "H..Hello Kyrina"


Shiro eyes widen as he saw Kyr walk bye "Sister" was all he was managed to say.


Kyr jumps at the voices. "h,Hello....Nova. And o,Oh m,my hi Shiro, Brother." She walks over ot them and stops far enough not to crowd either.


Nova looks between the two, one with very pretty stripes on her legs, the other with handsome sopt on his legs, "i m..might have g...guessed you're re....related" he said generally to the two


Nova smiles as the siblings met again he wondered if he had any family out there


Kyr takes notice that Nova seems down. "f,Friends are like extended f,family. s,So well m,met Cousin n,Nova." She smiles sweetly and moves to nuzzle him softly.


Nova forced himself not to flinch as she nuzzled him, eyes wide with mixed emotions ...."er...w...well m....met cousin?" he said


Kyr back away quickly. "s,Sorry. I'm s,so new to this meeting people thing. w,We d,don't have to be cousins. w,was just implying friends...o,oh I do believe I have done something wrong again. p,Please forgive me." She blushes severly and mumbles something about wanting a manual.


He backtracked swiftly "er .. n..no .. i d...d..d..dint mean" he sighed, "i d....dont m..mind being your cousin" he said


"i,I'm so confused. w,Wish I was better at this." She plops her butt on the ground while her tail swishes annoyingly behind her.


Blushing deeply he shied away a little, embarrassed "you're b...better than m..m..me" he says brightly "you d....dint run away from th...that stripey m....male* he said to her looking at her lashing tail, wondering if she was angry at him


She laughed softly. "t,Trust me at first I wanted to b,but he had be backed into a corner. He confuses me more then anyone I think." Her tail calms down as she forgets her self annoyance. "h,He can be quite overwhelming."


"You d....didnt run y....yesterday" he replied remembering how intimidating the male had seemed, without meaning to


"t,That's cause I'd met h,him before that. So I was expecting his forwardness. I'm sorry he frightened you it seems he's that way towards everyone." She sighs. "He's all nuzzley and tickley to you one moment and the next he's all over someone new."


He nodded, "he's just scary to me" he said "he's much bigger than i am" he whispered


" I think scaring anyone is farthest from his mind. It seems he just want to be everybody's.....friend." She ended quite weakly really not sure what Sangha's true purpose is. "I found that if you return some form of interaction he seems to back off abit. Or perhaps just tell him that it makes you un,uncomfortable."


Nova sighs "i could try that i g...guess" not realising the more he felt comfortable around Kyrina the less he stuttered, looking up at her and swishing his tail a little "w....w..what do you do for f ....f..fun here?" he asked


Kyr giggled. "Avoid people?" Her laugh was slightly musical if one listened carefully. "I really have no idea usually there's so many people here that it takes all my energy t,to meet them."

Nova giggled enjoying hearing her talk, "i guess we're p...pretty similar Kyrina" he said his smile widening exposing his sharper than usual teeth


She returned his smile. "It would seem so. I'm glad we've met Cousin." And in a Sangha-like moment she nuzzles the male happily.


Nova doesnt flinch as she nuzzled him this time, even feeling brave enough to nuzzle back a little "i'm g....glad we met too Cousin" he replied realising she hadnt stuttered, but keeping quiet about it, thinking she might be as self concious about it as well as himself


Kyr giggled again as he nuzzled her. "Want to play a game? like tag or Ruler of the hill..those are the only two I know of. If you have any ideas I'd l,love'd to hear them." Ah she had a moment of unease and slipped a stutter in there, and she had been doing so well.


Nova looks confused "t...tag i know.. but r..ruler of the hill? i've n...n..ot heard of th...that one" he said, giving her a sideways look


"It's like king of the hill but I don't like being a king, and I didn't think you'd want to be a queen so I changed it to Ruler. Could have called it Alpha of the Hill." She laughed at her own rambling.


He looked at her, clueless "i d...dont even kn...know how to play that" he admitted, not being one who usually played


"Well we pick a spot, it doesn't have to be a hill. and first we race to it, first one there is the first Alpha. Then we have to nudge or lure them off the spot and become the new Alpha" she explained sweetly.


Nova looked around for a hill, spying a small mound he ran for it "too slow!" he called as he ran, his small legs almost a blur as he raced to bat Kyrina to the little hill


Kyr stood still for a moment not recognizing the care free shakaiyo who raced past her. "h,Hey wait up!" And with that she took off after Nova laughing as she ran.


Nova smiled at Kyrina laughing, he slowed enough to let her pass, without making it seem obvious he did so


She had thought she had judged how fast he was going and so was very surprised when she passed him. She tried to stop but by the time she did she was already at the top."Well hmm I didn't think I'd make it." She giggled and jumped in place excitedly.


Nova giggled as she looked surprised as she passed him, panting he sat at the bottom "oh w..well" he says, starting up the hill he yells and looks down at his paw,


Kyr quits jumping when Nova yells. "oh no! w,What's wrong?" She starts down towards him. "a,Are you ok?"


holding his paw close to him as she starts down the hill "i...i..i think i hurt it" he said


Deeply concerned she heads straight for him. "o,Oh no. I'm sorry. i,I didn't think there's be s,sharp things.oh dear, oh dear." She quickly ended up next to him.


Grinning suddenly he races up the hill "now i win!" he exclaims, prancing at the top of the hill


Kyr stands dumbfounded. "i,i,..." suddenly she laughs." s,So it would seem." She trots back up the hill towards him. Once she's standing next to him she pulled a Sangha move and brushed her tail against his side and gently but firmly nuzzled him trying to scoot him from his spot.


Nova grins at her, glad she wasnt mad at him for faking hurt, he stumbles a little as she nudged him, eyeing her he lay down, making it harder for her to move him from his spot


She giggles as he lays down she steps back to think for a moment. After a bit her face lights up and she places her maw under his side and tries to roll him.


Nova squeals as she placed her jaw under his side, he was TICKLISH! .. he giggled and rolled away, tumbling down the small hill


Kyr was not expecting that reaction and ended up rolling down the hill after Nova laughing the whole way.


Nova laughs his head off as he rolls down, ending up in a furry heap at the bottom of the hill, rolling onto his back he looks upside down at Kyrina "hey no fair, you cheated!" he giggled


Kyr isn't too far behind him and lands across his belly with an oomph. " Oh and like you pretending to be hurt wasn't?" Still laughing she presses her paw into his side tickling him again.


Nova giggled again, "ok, we're even th..then" he said as she landed on his stomach with an oomph, blushing deeply


She's totally oblivious to the awkwardness of their current position. "Even is good but winning is better!" She makes a funny face and tries to tickle him again laughing the whole time.


Nova giggles uncontrolably as she tickles him again, forgetting his embarrassment he tickles her back, playfully pushin her off and getting up, to get more leverage to tickle her


Kyr was ticklish too so it didn't take much effort to push her over. " Bah I was to have the upper hand." Was all she could get out before her giggles took over.


Nova grins as she's just as ticklish as him, giggled as he tickled, getting out of breath with the laughing now though

Apr. 12th 2010

Kyr managed to pull herself back only to collapsed in a heap on the floor.

Nova woke, his ears twitching he shivered a little in his hollow and decided to go seek out a nice sunny patch to warm up in

Kyr was tired and that was an understatement. She noticed movement out of the corner of her eye and tried to speak, but her voice came out soft and raspy from it's long night of use. "h,Hello?"


Nova blinked the sun out of his eyes, having warmed up a little he decided to go get a drink, following his nose to the water he lapped delicately for a while, when his ears twitched, hearing something nearby, turning his head he stopped stock still "KYRINA!" he yelled racing over to her


Her eyes squinted in the light as Nova came running towards her. "o,Oh g,good. It's y,you. I've been s,so silly."

Sangha started on his long journey home, from the monitions. He hadn't been there in years and it was a great place for him to go to think. either there or the river He have very thirsty and decided to go to the river for a drink. Thats when he hear Nova yell Kyr's name .Sangha started to run as fast as he could to the river.

Nova reached where Kyrina was, nuzzling her "Kyrina what happened?" he said, helping her to her feet, "wait, dont talk" he said noticing how sore her voice was, "lets get you to the water and get a drink first" he said, using his whole body to help her,


When Sangha got to the river he saw Kry laying helplessly, he rushed over as fast as he could. "Kyr, What on earth happened" he said worried as he nuzzled her gently.

Kyr smiled softly and pushed herself to walk on her own feet still leaning on Nova quite a bit they two made it to the river. She tried to bend down to take a drink only for her legs to give out and she land face first in the water. Quickly her head came up sputtering. "w,Well that was refreshing."

EDIT:

HEaring Sangha's voice releif washed over her. "there you are!" She took another drink her strength returning. "Been out all night looking for you." She tried standing only to fall again.

Nova nodded to the other male, "i'm not sure, but i think she was out searching for you" he said, at the same time as she answered Sangha, lettig out a very soft laugh at the moment, leaning down he wiped the water off Kyrina's face wit a paw, then stepped back as Sangha nuzzled her, he'd promised to back off, so he did, but staying very close to Kyrina, worried about her


"You retard, why did you do that? You could wait till morning?"He said in a stern voice. Sangha felt bad that she was looking for him all night and if something would of happened to her he would of blamed himself. Once she fell again Sangha lifted her up with easy so he was supporting all her weight.


"c,Cause I was worried. Ran into..k,Kemuri after you left. o,Or else I would have found y,you sooner. i,I wanted to s,say s,sorry. i,I didn't realize...a,alot of things." She would have continued but she was just so tired. "Let's find a sunny spot for me to lay down at and i,I'll finish m,my story. n,Nova, will you come too?"

Nova moved to the other side of Kyrina, knowing that Sangha bore her full weight, but he wanted to help "in case she falls this side" he said, knowing he'd try his best to support her if she did fall, as small as he was


"fine," Sangha said. "but your to weak to walk. knowing you, you will fall and hurt yourself" Sangha then placed his head under her and in one swift movement picked her up, laying her on his back gentle. He walked a bit slowly to make sure she wont slide off. He looked around for a sunn spot like she asked, then he saw one on top of a hill and started to head for it.


"th,Thank you both." She tries to help Sangha but desides that she might be causing more problems. So she instead nuzzles into his back and licks his ear to support her earlier thank you.


Nova sighed, he felt a little useless now that Sangha had put her on his back, eyeing a blackberry bush though he had an idea, running over he grabbed some leaves, twisting them into a bowl like shape, picking a whole great bunch of them he took them back to the others having gotten enough for everyone, dragging the leaf/bowl behind him


"there is no need to thank me, it is fault you where out all night" he told her. Once he reached the hill he gently laid her down."I will be back" he said as he took off back to the river. He sat at the bank when i giant fish swim by. With one swipe with his paw he pushed the fish out of the water and grabbed it in his mouth. He totted off back to the others and liad the fish at there feet.


Kyr nibbled on some of the berries while Sangha returned to the river. "th,those were great Nova." She smiled gratefully at him. Feeling a bit better already she practically pounced on one of the fish. "th,That was delicious. Now where was I?"


"i am glade you liked it" Sangha told her as he nuzzled her and laid down next to her. "You where saying you ran into Kemuri" he answered her.


Nova smiled as she polished of the berries rather quickly, admiring Sangha's fishing skills "you're good at that Sangha, i'd never be fast enough" he admitted, politely eating his own leaving just the bones,


"thank, i learn from the best. i like to hunt to though." he told Nova.

Kyr leaned into Sangha. "Oh yea. Well we got to talking a,and I learned alot and yet ,still h,have so much to do." She patted her other side indicating Nova could sit there. "i,I'm not g,good with things s,so I'll just s,spill it. i,I like you Sangha b,but I also like Nova. a,And Kemura s,said that i,I need to pick b,but right now i,I can't. w,Will you give me t,time to think? i,I'd love to spend more time with both of you." She's blushing through out her whole story and praying that he doesn't get up and leave again.

Sangha burst into laughter over the thinks he already knew. "Of corse i will, i am not the type of person to make pick right here and now." he said in a serious tone "I just want you to be happy, just think of your feelings and not mine nor Nova. becuase if you do think about out feelings you wont be true to yours" he then nuzzled his neck, hoping it would calm her.


Nova nodded in agreement "i want the same Kyrina, for you to be happy, i'd never force you to make a choice" he said, shamefaced, then lifting his head and smiling "i'd love to be able to spend more time with you Kyrina" he said, eyes shining a little


"th,Then it's decided the three of us are friends no matter w,what." She nods at the end for effect. Standing slowly and stretching feeling much better she looks at the two males. "So what shall we do now for fun?"


" i don't know, pick something" sangha suggested.


Nova smiled, but then he frowned, "i...i cant, i have t....t....to g....g..go" he said sadly, hsi stutter returning unnnoticed,


Kyr frowned when Nova said he had to go/ "o,Oh okay, we'll do something later." She nuzzled him once before he could leave. And not wanting Sangha to feel left out and nuzzled him too. "So what shall we do? Know of any games?"

Sangha is laying out in the sun licking his wounds from the previous night.

Kyr starts to head towards Sangha only to stop and stare at the ground not sure if her company would be welcomed.

Sangha looks up to see Kyr "Hey, there beautiful. Are you going to stand there all day or come sit with me?" he asked sounding smug.

Kyr blushes and walks over to him. Noticing his smug look she puts on a brave face. "th,Thank you again." She flops down next to him.

"It was nothing, don't worry about it." he said. Sangha then continued to lick his wonds so they wont get infected. "I am lucky though, he kept wanting to fight i don't know if i would of came back though. He was tougher then i thought and bigger. but i wasn't thinking when i fought him. i was just so angry."He said when a stern voice.

Kyr stared at Sangha for a moment before speaking. "What exactly about the situation made you so mad?" While waiting for his answer she took to helping him lick his wounds getting a few of the harder to reach ones.

"It made me so mad to see Nova hurt like that and you too. That food was yours so he had no right and poor Nova, he didn't need that. What ever confidents he did have got shoot down." He answered her. "So have any idea who you will pick yet?" he asked as he stopped licking his wounds and looked at her in the eyes.

"Yea Nova was really upset. I think he was serious when he said he wanted me to pick you. He said that alot before you arrived. a,And he made a point, if we ran into someone like that again we wouldn't survive." She refused to look him in the eye and avoided his question for now continuing her cleaning.

"THat worries me too. I know i would always keep my eye on you both to mack sure you two don't get hurt. I don't know what i would do if you got hurt, i think i will kill someone."He said laughing trying to shrug off he seriousness. "But Nova as strong points that i don't have either." he added.

Kyr tried not to gawk at Sangha's seriousness. "So what do you see as his strong points?" She glanced at him as she finished cleaning his wounds before setting her head down next to his awaiting his answer.

"Well for one people like him more. he doesn't have to try as hard to get people to like him like i do. Also because i do get in fights i get hurt and can't function as great during the healing time. Also with Nova you know he wont go flirt with someone else like i am sure you worry with me about."He told her flicking his ear.

Nova hears Kyrina and Sangha, peeks his head out of the bush he'd spent the night in, looking around as to where they were

Kyr smiled as Sangha spoke. " I prolly wouldn't mind it as much if you allowed me the same permissions." She giggled and hesitantly licked his cheek. "I don't deserve either of you."

"As if, Kyr if you picked me i would be 100% loyal to you."He said in calm loving voice. He brushed he side with his tail and nuzzled her neck. "But i expect you to be just as loyal" he added jokingly.

Kyr giggled and nuzzled him back. "Well in that case I'd have to be loyal too." For a moment her joking stopped. "But to pick o,one. That's so hard."

Nova, shakes himself inside the bush, making it rattle

Sangha smiled at her and gave her a small kiss. "just do what you feel is right..." sagha said as a rattling in the bushes interrupted him. Sangha quickly looked over to it and said "Who is there" is a growl thinking it was the orange male from before.

Nova sighed and stuck his head out of the bush, Sagha sure sounded irritated, bits of leaves and sticks stuck out of his coat, showing he'd spent the night in the bush

"Oh Nova, it;s you, i thought it was the orange male.Come join us."He said calmly once he realized it was a friend not a foe. "Did you sleep in that bush?" he asked as he pawed out the sticks and leafs

At Sangha's kiss shivers shot straight through her body. Now that was definitely a new sensation but at his growl she pressed up against him and away from the noise. When Nova emerged it took her a full moment to recognize him but bounded to him once she did. "n,NOVA?!"She nuzzled him excitedly. "Oh my look at all this stuff in your pretty fur." And to occupy her thoughts she set to geting as much of it out as possible.

Nova coughed, "ahaha, yeah i did Sangha" he replied, and blushed deeply as both he and Kyrina plucked twigs and laves from his fur, he smiled a little at her comment about his fur, "you're looking p..p..pretty today Kyr" he mumbled, still ashamed from the day before

"why did you sleep here? if you need a permeant place to stay, your more then welcome to stay with me. My burrow is big enough for all of us and even a growing family."Sangha hinted at Kyr jokingly.

Nova's face fell, his heart lurched in his chest, "oh... th...th....thats ok s....s...s..Sangha, i have m...m....my own l....l...l....little hole" he said, trying to keep back a sob, completely misunderstanding Sangha's comment as a joke

"Are you sure? i would feel better if you stayed with him. At lest i would know your not out shivering in the cold. I am sure you will like it. Just one night? to see how it is" Sangha said as he tried to convince him.

Nova shook his head "n....n...no Sangha u'm g...g....good in m..m...my own p..p..p...place" he said, thinking that the new couple wouldnt want him staying with them, he hadnt yet realised that Sangha's comment about a growing family had been a joke

"I guess i will sleeping in my den all by my lonesome self" he said in a play sniffle. Sangha's ear twitched and laid his head on his paws.

Nova blinked "A...Alone?! b..but wont Kyr be joining you?" he asked confused

"Why would she be? i mean she would be more the welcome to. it's not like i will trow her out are anything." he said in confession.

"b...b..but you mentioneed a growing f...f...family, she'd want to sleep in your b..b...burrow wouldnt she?!" he said utterly confused, having taken Sanga's earlier remark seriously

Sangha burst into laugher once he realized Nova thought he was serious. "Awwww Nova, i was joking with her. i didn't mean it seriously. I mean i would love to have a family with her as long as she picks me."He told him will giggling abit. "Your so cute Nova"He add and nuzzled him so he wouldn't feel embarrass.

Nova spluttered "you're ... she's... not? .." he said, holding back the nervous laughter, then he lay out on the cool grass, and really did laugh "you m..must think i'm an idiot" he said between giggles, surprised when Sangha nuzzled him

"I don't think your an idiot, Nova. i guess anyone could of made that mistake."He told him to confer him. "Now that you know i am still single, wanna bunk with me for the night?" He asked one more time.

Nova wasn't entirely sure about spending the night 'bunking' with Sangha, but he felt he had no excuse "ok Sangha, sure i'll have a sleepover with you" he said, smiling a little
