It was a nice day. Wyatt sat collectedly soaking in the sun. He'd been stretched out on the soft grass earlier. After sneaking away from his den the pup made his usual visits to tree homes of birds and squirrels before frequenting his favorite spot.

So peaceful! So warm! He yawned sleepily and lay down pleasantly with his head on his paws. Sawyer probably wouldn't of approved. But Sawyer seemed so determined to be independant.

Wyatt enjoyed life's simple joys much more than he figured any of his siblings did. A shame, he'd just have to try to get them used to it. Maybe they'd like it even.


Ronove
(( A puppy? XDD! ))

Sniffsniff. The small female shook her head, ears flickering back as the scent dissapeared. Her tail drooped slightly, then stiffened in irritation as anger flooded her body.

"Damn it!"

Sniiiiff. Another wolf had been here, but the scent wasn't one she recognized, She ignored it. Sniiiiiff... there? Yes! A rush of excitement and she was on the move again, around the blackberry patch and scrambling over lichen-covered rocks, hopping lightly over a fallen sapling --

"Eh?" Jori paused in her run as she passed a small patch of grass. It was dappled with sunlight and insects buzzed lazily in the tall blades. She sniffed at the air and caught a strange scent again. It took her a moment to realize it was another wolf, and a young one at that. But she couldn't see him... staring hard into the dappled shadows, she spotted a pup lying still in the grass. Her nose wrinkled.



Furekatsu Anjiru
(( Wyatt: I'm cute ;__; ))

Indeed Wyatt was lying very still. But not because he'd realized someone else was there. No, he just tended to not move at all when he slept. Aside from breathing of course, but even then it was hard to tell sometimes.

As he heard a sound that only wolves seemed to make, or atleast that was what he assumed because the birds never talked to him, he lifted his head slightly and looked around.

Weary eyes focused on a blue wolf, which was hard to miss. Rolling over he laughed and ran to say hello. She was here, surely she was a friend to be made?




Ronove
(( Jori: Cute shmute. You smell. XP ))

Jori froze; the expression of faint distaste twisting her muzzle becoming that of disgust. It was running at her, tongue lolling and ears picked, looking cute and utterly annoying. Great. Just what she needed.

The small blue lifted a paw and considered running, but decided against it. Too much effort in this heat, and she didn't have anywhere to go. Besides, she was close to the path Kara had shown her, she knew it! Jori sighed. She'd just have to deal with this... nuisance for a little while.

What a pain. Regarding the pup with a tilted brow, she spoke. "Where's you mother, kid?"




Furekatsu Anjiru
(( Wyatt: Smell like a flower? 8D ))

"Mom? Oh. I think she's back at the den. Where are your puppies?" Surely she had puppies. Didn't all girls when they got taller?

He sat with his tail thumping as quickly as it could and reached a paw up to try and tap her.

She looked like fun! And she called him 'kid'. Which had to mean she was fun!



Ronove
(( Jori: No. Definantly not flowers. ))

"Puppies?" Jori laughed shortly. "I don't have any. And I won't if I have anything to say about it." She'd seen those females, stomachs bulging with the growth of new life, fat and slow and dependant. That would never be her.

The blue stepped back smoothly out of the reach of the grey pup's paw. She tilted her head, ears pricked, and considered what to do. A slow grin spread across her muzzle. "You know it can be dangerous out here, alone, without your mother?"

Jori sat down, panting in the heat. "There are some out here who might do you harm." Like that blue Kara hated so much...



Furekatsu Anjiru
(( Wyatt: Aww. Like the ocean? 8] ))

No pups? He was disappointed. The thought had crossed his mind that he'd be able to play with them. At the mention of harm though his interest was renewed.

As she stepped back he stepped foreward and sat down again infront of her. His head cocked to the side. Dangerous? Fun!

"Danger? Like who?" Wyatt was very interested to know. Everyone seemed so nice, atleast everyone he'd met so far. He was captivated.



Ronove
(( Jori: *has never smelled the ocean* ... no. Try again. ))

Jori felt a twinge of irritation; she didn't even know his name. Stupid. So she ignored the question and grinned at the pup, tongue lolling. "I'v heard there is one especially." She twitched an ear as the wind picked up and whispered through the trees.

She turned her attention back to the pup, who, she noticed, had inched closer to her. Great. "He eats wolves." Jori's grin widened. Perhaps she could frighten him home.

"For all you know, I could be one of those." Jori snapped idly at a passing butterfly, sharp teeth glimmering in the afternoon sun. The blue leaned close to the pup and spoke in a soft voice. "So you'd best be careful, boy."



Furekatsu Anjiru
(( Wyatt: Well gosh 8O I dunno. ))

Wyatt giggled. As she'd mentioned a scary wolf in particular his eyes had grown larger. He'd even visibly shuddered.

Someone would actually do that? Actually eat other wolves? Naw. It was too wild to be true.

And when she had said she could be one of them he found it all too silly. So he'd giggled. Rolling onto his back on the ground he glanced up at her and laughed again.

With a smile he attempted to draw the butterfly back. "Naw. Not you."



Ronove
(( Jori: *mutters* Try the death of my youth. >>

*is on level 49 on Word Bump* 8D))

Jori's ears flickered backwards as he laughed. This was why she hated puppies. They were annoying, and they lacked respect. Her tail twitched in irritation. The sound of the river nearby gave her an idea.

"Not me?" She forced a toothy smile. "You seem pretty sure." It was so frustrating. Despite herself she felt a twinge of... affection? No. Jori shoved the emotions aside and got up, stretching luxuriously. "You seem pretty brave. I suppose I could let you hang around a little longer."

The small blue trotted towards the river, perching on the tall banks and peering at the deep, swirling water. It appeared calm... but she knew the currents raged strong beneath the placid water.



Furekatsu Anjiru
(( M'k. ^^ See ya Ron. We can finish later. ))

Wyatt weighed his options. But she seemed nice, or atleast, he figured she had kindness somewhere.

"..I am sure." Sure, of course he was. Brave? Hah. Not him. Sawyer was brave. He'd like to be brave like Sawyer though.

He followed her carefully to the river. What was she going to do? Drink? It made him thirsty.



Ronove
((For Fure when she gets back! ))

A strong wind blew past, forming small troughs and white caps on the river's deceptively calm surface. A butterfly spun and dove through the air, but was caught too close to a forming ripple; it fluttered vainly and was swept away. Jori watched silently.

The small blue gazed down at the pup by her side. "Have you ever swam, kiddo?" She opened her maw in a slight grin. "Because I'll make you a deal. You can stick around... if you can reach the other side of the river."

Jori knew it was impossible. No pup could swim against the current this waterway boasted. He would have to realize this, and turn back. No more annoying pup, no more stupid questions. Her grin widened and she looked down at the mutt next to her with an expectant expression.

"Well?"

Swim? Not exactly..Truth be told the one thing he preferred to avoid most was deep water, or big water. Ever since he'd first discovered the ocean he'd feared it. The powerful waves thrusting him below, the bitter taste. And his lacking of natural swimming ability.

But, oh, dang, what was her name? He'd completely forgot to ask! How rude of him..hopefully she wouldn't dislike him for it. He smiled. "What's your name?"

But if she let him stay around perhaps she'd even play! He almost shivered with excitement. He liked her already.

"I can reach it!" Er..why not? It would be fun! Like, a water adventure! Adventures were fun.

Precariously he leaned closer to the water before cautiously dipping a paw in it. The river water was cold and he drew back from it before remembering the deal. And he desperately wanted to have her company, his siblings didn't seem all that interested in him.

Without reserve he lept into the water. It wasn't so bad! It was even semi shallow. As he began to flop foreward the water got deeper, and the pull stronger. What seemed to casually drift by became a forceful drag far faster than he'd expected. But the other side was so close..he had to reach it! Otherwise she wouldn't play with him. Sawyer could probably have done it.

With his unsteady heart and rising fear Wyatt attempted to swim directly across from where he'd jumped in. But the more he tried the stronger the water was and it was only a moment more before he found himself unable to see the other side, or even the ground. Instead he began to thrash underwater in a frantic attempt to reaching the surface again.

His hearteat increased and things started to turn black.

What? He was actually going to try? Jori flicked her ears, uncertain of what to do. He wasn't too small, but the river was strong, she knew from experience. After all, it guarded their packlands...

The pup was already neck deep in the stream and plowing forwards with a determined air. The blue female stood and paced on the bank of the river. It was strange... she hadn't know her company meant so much to someone. Even if it was a puppy, and a male at that. The pup was halfway to the other side and heading downstream ten paces for every one he managed across. Jori kept pace with him on the bank, her heartbeat increasing evertime his head dissapeared under water.

He wasn't drowning, he wouldn't be hurt. She waited, but he didn't resurface. No! She wouldn't be held responsible for another death. There was still time to run! It could be an accident, she didn't know...

...but he's just a baby! Her mind wailed. He still didn't resurface.

Something snapped, and she lept. Blue, icey water envoloped her and she struggled forcefully against the current. Everything was murky and dark, but she thought there was a faint shape... something tangible...

With feet scrabbling on the river rocks for purchase, Jori clawed her way over to the body and grabbed him by the scruff of his neck. Please be alright. Please be alright... She chanted the mantra in her head and she muscled her way towards the shore.

With a final effort the blue female managed to drag herself and the pup onto the bank. She layed down next to him and curled her body around his limp form. A part of her dispaired over the loss of a little one. He's only a baby...

Wyatt lay still a moment. The cold water had numbed his body to a slight contentness, and being sudden removed from it had been the first startling event.

The second was, well that he was actually removed from it. Water no longer flowed freely through his mouth and nose. His eyes no longer felt murky, even inside the lids. But his fur was still damp clingy, and water was still in his lungs.

In a sudden lurch the pup flopped foreward and spewed from his gutt all the water and sand that had unwelcomely swum in. He unhappily finished his wretching before laying his head on his paws. It wasn't until after he'd emptied himself and coughed a few times to rid himself of the choking water that he felt warmth beside him.

Glancing up with dazed eyes Wyatt curled into Jori's side and laid his head upon one of her paws. She was warm, her heart had rhythm. His heart too slowed to normal pace.

Shifting his head he licked her paw. She was wet too, but he had no idea why. "Did I make it to the other side?"

Must have. She was still around. This side of the rived looked an aweful lot like the other side though. How strange.

Jori was startled by the pup's sudden wretching, so sure she was that he would never move again. But as he curled into her side, she could feel a faint heartbeat, growing stronger and aided by a youthful will to live. Her own heart lept. He isn't dead!

So strange it was that she didn't even mind the foul liquid the puppy coughed up. She didn't even flinch as he licked her paws with a rough pink tongue... but it didn't matter now. Something was different, but she wouldn't worry about it. It wasn't bad.

She was exhausted, but he mind wouldn't let her rest. She'd almost lost another, been responsible for that final breath... Jori whimpered faintly in the back of her throat. This had been a reminder, and she would listen. With the clumsiness of a new mother, she began to clean the spotted pup.

"You swam like you were born in water, love." Not the truth, but he didn't need to know that. Jori curled closer to him; she would make sure he was dry before a cold could set in. Her youngest sister had died that way, but not this one. For a moment she paused, then grinned. "I think we ought to know each other's names. I'm Jori."

Hey cool! He should totally try that whole swimming thing more often. He'd thought things were going a bit south when he kept falling under, but if he'd made it successfully to the other side his mind must have just been exagerating. Gee, what a relief! And here he thought he couldn't swim!

"I'm Wyatt." Nice to meet you Miss Jori. He would have added. But he was tired, and she was making him sleepier. Stretching his front legs out before drawing them closely under his chin the little pup lay contently curled against Jori. Yawning he watched her with half closed eyes.

He was getting warmer, his fur didn't feel as soggy on his tender skin. It felt nice too, Jori's tongue seemingly brushing him. Perhaps she would play with him after he took a nap? She could probably use one too, it was the best time of day for one he noted.
