Welcome to Gaia! ::

Mocca was hunting for Symmy, ever since she'd told him she was having his pups, he'd made her rest and he had done all the hunting for the two of them, and for Karia whenever Symmy's sister hung around, he'd learnt that the white wolf was also expecting and so Mocca provided. He was young, they all were but he wasn't going to leave them to hunt for themselves when he was strong enough to do it. He knew Karia preferred to distance herself from him and he didn't mind, he loved Symmy and her sister was part of that so he accepted Karia easily.

He was stalking a large goatlike creature, it had obviously been 'tame' at some point but had escaped from whatever human place it had been held, it was still fairly fat too. He licked his maw in anticipation of the kill, this one was for Symmy though, and Karia if she was around. He crouched low, closing in on his prey.

Mocca was about to pounce when a brown blur shot out and took the beast down before he could do so. He growled deep in his throat, the creature between him and the other wolf, the wind blowing the scents away from each others noses so neither got a good whiff of the other. In fact, the other wolf didn't even seem to know he was there. Mocca snarled, charging towards the newcomer. Two main things running through his mind, 1 was Symmy, he couldn't let another wolf take her from him .. not now. 2 was also to do wth the female, she was going to need her meat to keep herself strong while the pups grew, so this kill was as important to him as any had ever been. "Just what do you think you're doing? making a kill on MY land?!" he growled dangerously as he approached, his tail high, his whole demeanor was one of a dominant wolf, confident of himself.

Mocca growled louder, the other wolf had stayed too silent and he didn't like it. He stepped closer, hackles raising as he got ready to take the kill. His ears flicked uncertainly when the voice turned out to be female. He was less inclined to attack a female but he would if he had to, Symmy needed the kill and he would take it for her, even if he hadn't killed it himself.

He held his breath as the female cried out his name. He held himself defensively still, unsure of ho this wolf was....until she emerged from behind the kill. "Aryah?!" he cried, wanting to go over but remembering that her and their parents along with their brother had left him all alone, "Aryah" he said in a slightly lower tone, angry at her a little for the abandonment "What are you doing here?" he grumbled, his stance less aggressive now but still he wasn't about to be overly emotional.

Mocca cocked his head, ears forward and pricked in interest of what she had to say for herself. He was surprised when she said she'd thought he was dead, what an odd thing to say to someone you abandoned. "Aryah what are you talking about?" he said confused.

His confusion grew as as flopped to the ground and whimpered, he couldn't see why she would have, he hadn't acted in a way that would have encouraged her to do it, so he stood, watching her for a while until she got back up. "I..I don't understand Aryah... i know they're gone... you all left me alone .. i was all alone for a long time" he said flatly. he sighed and decided to let her explain.

Well ... she'd explained and Mocca himself was full of emotion, while he hadn't cried as hard as Aryah had, it was hard to imagine the pain she'd felt when she'd seen what she had, he was still pretty emotional. He went so far as to move to nuzzle her to comfort her but she'd flinched. he didn't blame her, how could you trust another wolf after that, yes he was her brother but they hadn't seen each other for so long they were like strangers almost.

He told her of the things that happened to him while they'd been apart, while he was curious about the human, she hadn't wanted to talk about that o he left her to it. His eyes softened and he heaved a great sigh. "Come back with me" he said, his mind racing. There was much to think about now, especially with Symmy and Karia expecting, he knew he had to do something about the killer wolves, he just wasn't sure what just yet, it was something he had to figure out. He did know he couldn't allow them to keep on with their ways, if they ever moved on, moved towards his family... they'd be at risk. "Symmy has been saying how i would be needed someday .... come live with us, you won't have to hide or fear anyone again Aryah....i promise" he said, following up his words with an affectionate embrace his sister couldn't flinch from.
