Chivosi had raced back to the den, excitement in her eyes as Mene's words danced in her head. It was with great dissapointment that she peeked her head in to find the brightly colored Merril still asleep. Backing out slowly so as not to disturb her Chiv turned and backtracked through the woods - her intention being to head off Mene who was no doubt following behind before he crashed through the cam and awoke their companion. Chiv didn't want to ask Merril what she she thought hen she was cranky after all.
Trotting through the woods she kept her eyes peeled for Mene's grey form he could sometimes blend in well with the shadowed forest and while she doubted she would miss him if he were running...he liked to be sneaky at times too.

Sneaky had surely crossed his mind. He had a dragging feeling that Merril would be asleep and therefore he had slowed especially when he footsteps trekking towards him. Chiv had found Merril first and trekking back must mean that Merril was still asleep, good old Merril. He laughed softly to himself. But, now was his chance for some fun! He lowered himself when he stopped running and got mighty close to the forest floor. He stayed basically out in the open except for the shadows he had taken advantage of.
The silence was brief for he heard Chiv's steps again, like soft pups steps through the woods. He smiled picturing the look on her face if he called her pup steps. The jokes between the two seemed endless and the teasing a daily routine picked up out of fun and continued for the same reason.
He lifts his nose a little into the air tasting her scent of the light breeze that had fortunately taken course his way, it wasn't much but, enough for him to predict where she was. But, only predict not know. This was not good enough yet. He paused then gave a brief and sharp bark asking where she was. If she hadn't caught on to his game she'd answer. And so he moved just in case the silence carried on.

Chiv padded through the forest, steps light - not by any effort on her part but merely a natural occurrence. Light on her feet she was. Casting her gaze about she furrowed her brow fairly certain that he must have taken a different route when his sharp bark pierced the air.
maybe not - and he was looking for her, it never crossed her mind that this was all part of his ploy, after all who calls out when their trying to sneak up on someone, pricking her ears she answered with a sharp bark of her own and turned in a slow circle trying to pinpoint his location.

Ha! She fell for it! "Sneaky I am." He smirked devilishly and started crawling on his tummy army style towards her from a different direction then his bark. He hadn't completely thought things through but, he knew he'd get to her, hopefully without her picking up his scent and then tackle her maybe? He hadn't decided yet.
He was halfway there now, he scented the air and made sure she hadn't moved. He'd be there any second now his senses told him and he'd be able to get off this ground and standing. Which in his opinion was much more comfortable. Oh the work he put into his little enjoyments here and there.

Chiv strained her ears attempting to hear Mene out in the woods - perhaps he'd kept running when she didn't respond to his bak right off the bat...ah but wait, what was that now? the wind had shifted and ever so faintly she thought she picked up his familiar scent. Mene...so he was being sneaky after all...
Grinning Chiv repeated her bark - as though she was still looking for her wayward companion trying not to give any clue that she had noticed his approach.

Well Menelaus couldn't predict it all right? He wasn't a fortune teller, no where near being able to predict the future. Another bark, she was still looking for him! This meant he was still on top, still ahead of her. He smirked and let loose a small happy growl to himself before he could stop it. Oops! He thought and figured maybe he was still far enough away to escape being heard.
Soon he was just behind her, tail moving back and forth lightly across the debris covered forest floor. He wasn't looking to be hidden anymore. He'd rather face his competitor but, if he went unnoticed so be it. he'd be startled though.

Chiv fought very hard to keep from tilting her ear in the direction of his happy growl, indeed she plastered on her face a look of forlorn seeking - as though she was truly wondering where he was and missing him.
Wating for several second the she wolf hoped her was close enough when she suddenly lept to her feet and spun around.
"Boo!"

Menelaus leaped back, her sudden movement startled him badly and he stared at her panting lightly and then sudden;y bowled over and began laughing. "You got me!" He chanted as he slowed his laughter and relaxed on his side in the brush. He enjoyed these moments together. "You make me smile." he stated plainly and out of the blue. He hadn't been truly happy before he met her and now he was laughing nearly everyday.

"Tice in one day even"
Cowed Chiv as he bowled over backwards laughing, padding over towards him as he relaxed Chiv sat down close by a happy grin on her face - it made her feel good to know that Mene was happy in her presence although she hadn't really followed that thought through to its logical conclusion.
"Well...at least I"m not dull then"
She responded with a grin, making someone smile was definitely on the right track of things in her mind.

"Soo Chiv.. if Merrill says she will stay, would you lead a long side me?" he was still all smiles. He was glad she seemed to be happy with herself, he wanted her to be happy. And in turn it made him happy.
"It's all up to you." He lifted himself up and straightened out a bit while remaining laying down. His eye's were on her, awaiting an answer whether it be yes or no, or even maybe.

Chivosi glanced down at Mene where he lay beside her, he seemed rather pleased himself. Chiv had long been searching for a reason to settle down - and whose to say that reason wasn't Mene? Perhaps all her wandering had been for a reason after all fore without it she surely wouldn't have met him.
"I would be glad to...and while we three make for a good team, provided Merril stays with us of course - we'll have to be on the lookout for others, A pack with only three is a mighty small pack after all"

Dreams and dreams ago he remembered imagining a life just like this, simple as it may seem it was special, important and he wanted it for as long as this body served his soul.
"We will serve it all very well! A great team we are indeed.. And others is a definite must." He laughed. He'd had trouble before finding others. Woudl nwo be any different?

Chiv chewed on her lip slightly deep in thought - she'd seen many wolves since venturing on this land and so she knew it was well populated, though she had no idea how to go about finding those in need of a home - perhaps they could be somewhat of an open arms pack - one for wanders like they had been. She decided to speak these thoughts to Mene.
"perhaps...perhaps we can help others like us..wander's without a safe place to call home"

Menelaus smiles to his pretty little alphess to be. "I think that's a wonderful idea!" He agreed! he remembered first meeting. And before that, the terrible sadness that had filled his heart and tore him apart slowly. Maybe they could do what she did that day. Welcome the others into their open arms and love them as brothers and sisters.
"I would love to help them out. We just need to find them." He laughed to himself and sat up a bit to sit semi nose to nose with her. He could hear a stirring nearby and took a guess that it might be Merrill.

And indeed moments later a familiar tribal-marked face appeared through the bushels, green eyes inquisitive and set upon the pair. "Ah. Fancy meeting you both here, hmm?" The beta pulled her body out fully with a casual stretch, almost as if she had been sitting and watching the whole time - or had had a really long nap, one of the two. Or both? But was Merrill really a wolf who would spy? "So, what's this I'm hearing about ruling and helping out? I smell an idea being cooked and spiced here, and no-one told me of the meal."
