Welcome to Gaia! ::

The purple alpha sat quietly in the forest, his eyes shut and ears held up high. It had been a while since he had let himself enjoy his pack lands, just having the time to sit and listen to his surroundings was a very rare event. Busy as a beaver, as Kirra would say.

The alpha had another reason for this little adventure into the forest, although it was defiantly not the main one. Kirra had informed him of finding wolf tracks after coming home from scouting, and they were not of their pack. The information had puzzled him, but he was not exactly on the offensive. If corned, he would fight and be vicious, but the alpha preferred talking things out and being civil over being brutish and fighting his way through things. So he listened, his eyes shut to help block out any other distractions, and listened.

An ear swivel and a deep intake of air, and Maverick stood up, opening his eyes for the first time in a while. Apparently sitting and waiting for the new comers to just walk into him, wasn't working, not that he really thought it would once he thought about it. So he decided to check out the area that Kirra had told him about.


A few moments later after a good dash through his well known forests, he stood before the tracked area. Amber eyes searched the ground, trying to get an idea of what exactly he would be getting into. An adult it seemed, a bit older than he he figured as he placed his paw next to the print, but the other prints confused him. They were small, much smaller than he had figured, and they seemed to belong to two different wolves, correction, pups.

He sniffed the ground, wandering around the tracked area as he took in the scents, or what was left of them at least. So three, and from what he could tell, it was a mother or a father with their two pups. With a parents protection thrown into the mix, he defiantly would be on a bit more of an edge when he finally came face to face with these new comers.

The alpha's sable ears perked as he heard the other's voice. A tense feeling ran through his body, but he ignored it, pushing the automatic reaction of whipping around and snarling at her to the back of his mind. Instead, he picked his head up from its lowered position and turned slowly around to face her. The light brown and sable swirled female before him made him wary, for nothing was more protective than a mother, but he wouldn't let his worries show on his face.

A friendly smile crossed his maw as he took a few steps toward her, keeping the steps harmless with no air of aggression, not a hard thing for the easy going wolf to do, but he wasn't going to screw up at this rate, he still needed to speak with her.

" Hello to you as well." No pups, so that meant that she was hiding them, and it was very possible that they were in the area. " And who may you be?" He didn't really know what else to say, 'hey whats up,' seemed too dopey for a first time meeting, and ' what the hell are you doing in my lands,' was just not wat he would say. So introductions seemed fitting.

Maverick eyed her submissive posture, while it showed him that she had no means of fighting, he didn't really like seeing it, odd as it seemed. But then again he was probably just used to his head strong sister.

River? Some place safe? So refugees of sorts? Perhaps his pack was getting a bit more known for what it stood for? Either way, he would feel better talking to her a bit more, instead of just offering the help she was searching for, and trotting off with the pups. No way, things didn't particularly work out that way, no matter how good of heart you are.

" My name is Maverick, and I am alpha of the Shadowsong Pack. Where you are, is in the lands of said pack." It sounded snooty, but again he didn't quite know how to word what he said without making it so.

She was indeed asking for his help, and by the looks of it asking for a new home as well. Maverick watched River quietly, thinking over what she had just said. He would me more than willing to help her and her two pups out, and the idea of some new pack members made him happy as well. He hadn't automatically said yes because he wondered what Kirra and Tasubaa, the pack Betas, would think. Sure, he was Alpha and in a way what he said goes, but he trusted their opinions over all else so it still made him think.

But why did he even need to think about it? Tasubaa and Kirra both knew that their pack was a pack for just this occasion, to give those who had no where else to go, a home and a family. With this thought rushing through his head, he knew they wouldn't object.

He turned his auburn eyes back to River after he came to this realization. "Your pups have our protection, they will be treated as a part of this pack. And upon your return, all three of you will have a place in this pack," he smiled softly," if you choose to accept it."

Maverick returned the smile, padding after the wolf as she lead him to her pups. He had been correct in assuming that they were close by, and was very happy to know that she trusted him enough to see them.

As he caught sight of the pups he smiled, marveled at their odd colours. It always made him happy to know that he wasn't the only oddly coloured wolf around. " Ocean and Dark, hansom names to fit hansom pups.
He watched as River gave them the love only a mother could give, "They will surely be protected." He nodded, as if to confirm his words, for he did mean it.

He did ponder on how things would be with two pups romping around, he chuckled at the thought of Kirra having to watch them. She was so serious, and he knew these pups would change that when they would be around her.

Maverick realized suddenly that there were two pups and only one of him. He would need help transporting the pups back home. But Kirra was around, she was always scouting around him, a younger sister over protective of her "older brother."

Maverick arched a brow looking up at River. " Your other son can see right into me? You mean like, my soul or something?" He had heard mere rumors form his other Beta about said wolves who could read your minds and know everything about you by just a simple look, but he had figured that the other wolf had been pulling his leg, he was young at the time. "Interesting."

His confused frown soon turned into a smile, however, and he inclined his head slightly toward River. " My pleasure, the more the merrier. And they won't be trouble at all, pups are pups, I was pretty rascally when I was their age. He made his way out of the hole and looked around, wondering where would be best to direct his call for Kirra.

" I will call Kirra to assist me, so you can go on your way if you wish. " He smiled, trying to reassure River. If she needed to get things done, she would need to get on her way, or so he figured.
