The unique looking fae would awaken as she heard the birds outside, and her pups rustling around within the den. Lowering her audits, Saige would stand up and let out a small grunt. "You're going to wake everyone up, calm yourselves.. Please." She mentioned to them as she made her way toward the exit of the den, her pups chasing her as they attempted to suckle for milk. Sitting down, she'd watch as the sun peaked over the horizon. It was peaceful for her to watch the sunrise.

Ouch!

Looking down, Saige would see her two pups, brown and black tails wagging happily behind them as they bent themselves in odd ways just to eat. Reaching her cranium down, she'd gently nudge them both before watching as they both ran out of the den by maybe a few feet, rustling around with one another. Being the only two puppies, they didn't have many others to play with. Saige then laid down and smiled gently, her tail curling around her hind legs as she watched them. As she watched her pups, she noticed a figure moving behind them. Her onyx colored eyes blinking a few times to let them adjust to the light. It was her alpha, Neryth. Smiling, she'd allow the other to go on her way without a word, turning her attention back to her pups.

Akela | M | Dark Pines | Warrior | M: Open

The slim bodied wolf had already been up for a few hours. His figure moved through the early morning light with slight ease. Akela knew he needed sleep, but he always got very little. His body never allowed him to stay asleep once he was asleep. As he trotted into the camp, he looked around, not seeing anyone awake yet. Sighing, he would just go back to the warrior den, laying at the entrance for now.

Yukon | F | Head Warrior | Dark Pines | M: Open

A large figure moved within the early rays of sun, her orange pelt glinting as her muscles moved and shifted beneath it. The smell of rabbit blood could be scented as she walked into camp, her tail flicking behind her as her white audits laid gently on her crania. It was rather nice to go hunting on her own, even if it was for smaller prey. Though, she took the meal for herself, laying on the outskirts of the camp, gnawing on one leg of the rabbit, tearing the meat from it. She wasn't very talkitive this early in the morning, and she just hoped her packmates would remember that.

Rameses│M│Warrior│Golden Forest Pack

Mention: Neryth (direct)

Rameses laid outside one of the warriors dens, his chin resting on his paws. His golden-green eyes lifted a little, watching intently as the sun began to rise. His long bushy tail curled neatly around his body as he shivered slightly at the chilly morning breeze. His ears twitched silently as he listened to the drops of water and melting snow falling to the forest floor with soft trickling sounds around him.

After several moments of listening to the sounds of the forest, a new sound reached his ears. A familiar sound. Rotating his ears first to clearer hear the noise, he lifted his head and turned to see Neyrth emerging from her den into the morning air. He felt the muscles along his spine relax at the sight and smell of her. Despite knowing she and her mate slept in the den every night, he couldn't help but be relieved when either of them emerged from their slumber. It was simply a reinforcement that they were a strong and loyal pack who's leaders could not be better.

Rameses was proud of the pack he called a family and the lands upon which he called home. He had never felt so proud as the day he'd been named a Warrior for the Golden Forest Pack.

He kept a respectful gaze on her as she moved towards the prey stash and its measly remains. The large wolf pushed himself to his paws, reaching his front legs forward and his his hips to the sky in a long, big stretch before shaking himself vigorously. Opening his mouth into a gaping yawn, a pleased whine left his throat. Rameses licked his lips and began heading in Neyrth's direction.

Walking up opposite her, he approached the prey stash, sniffing what little remained. Without deciding on what picking he wanted, he settled himself on his haunches dipping his head in a polite greeting to his Alpha.

"Good morning Neryth," he said kindly. "Bit of a chilly morning isn't it?" He lifted his snout to the air, sniffing it. "I wonder how much prey will be up and about."

Rameses│M│Golden Forest Pack

Mentions: Dapple (direct)

Rameses turned his head as he heard pawsteps approaching. His golden-green eyes lit up a little as he caught sight of young Dapple, his smart apprentice coming towards himself and the Alpha female. His face remained stoic as the adolescent greeted him, but the tiniest wag of his tail tip indicated he was pleased to see her.

"Good morning Dapple," he said, greeting her in return. He watched as she grabbed a small chaffinch from the pile, and her slight belly rumble reminded him of his hunger. He sniffed the pile once more before hooking his teeth onto the half eaten thigh of a deer, pulling it out for himself. He began to walk away, his ears rotating to listen as Dapple asked what they would be doing today. He flicked his tail at her, signaling her to walk with him.

"Share breakfast with me," he said, his voice slightly muffled from the leg dangling from his mouth. "We can discuss it over a meal." He sauntered over to a spot somewhat near the nursery, but far enough away that it would not be considered intruding. The large warrior turned his head to check if his apprentice had followed. He set down the deer leg and laid himself down alongside it, scooping one leg beneath it and another paw on top for bracing.

"I know it's just nearing spring," he said softly to Dapple, tilting his head in her direction. "That chaffinch is barely a snack for a growing she-wolf like you. You can share mine once you've finished if you'd like." His tone of voice sounded a bit monotone and careless, as if he was speaking out of obligation, but the large male was being sincere. He knew the hungers of an upcoming warrior, afterall, apprenticeship was a large time of mental growth and learning as well as physical. He wanted to make sure she had enough energy, although he was almost certain she would have had enough energy anyway. He admired her enthusiasm and eagerness to learn.

The small pup looked up at the female wolf, his eyes following her as she laid down and stuck her nose out too him. Ignoring her question, he giggled and jumped on her nose, mouthing her face a little as he attempted to crawl up her head.

Saige quickly trotted up, seeing her pup, she breathed a small relieved exhale. "Oh thank goodness.." She mumbled, before looking around the group of wolves. Saige was much smaller than them, but, she wasn't exactly intimidated. "I'm sorry for my son's mischeif, I dozed off for a mere second.." She stated with a small laugh. It was obvious that the mother was tired and stressed, but, she'd handle it. "Come along Aashvi," She stated.

Shyla was hidden behind her mother, her small face peering around her mothers back legs to take a peek at the other wolves. She was a very shy pup, and it showed. Aashvi on the other hand, didn't want to listen and crawled all over the alpha, giggling as he did so. But, he soon growled as his mother picked him up, taking him over to his sister and setting him down beside her before turning her attention back to the others, "Again.. I am very sorry for my-" She was cut off by her son now trying to jump and grab onto Rameses tail, though, before she could grab him, he had managed to grasp a hold onto his tail. "Aashvi!" Saige growled, grabbing her son gently in her mouth and plopping him beside his sister again, giving him a scolding look.

Akela | M | Warrior | Dark Pines | M: Arya

Akela would take Arya's words and just nod, "Alright." He replied. Don't take it too heart.. Akela.. He thought to himself as he turned his full attention onto the female. Letting his eyes roam her pelt, she was rather pretty. Though, he mentally shook the thought away as she asked if he'd like to hunt with her. "Yukon won't kill me if I don't check with her first?" he asked with a small, nervous laugh.

Yukon | F | Head Warrior | Dark Pines | M: Kaisen(dir), Akela, Arya(Ind)

"You got that right." Yukon stated as she pushed her weight to her hind end and sat down. The light colored female then looked around camp, taking in the cool morning air. "I suppose you slept alright?" She questioned followed by a half snarky grin, almost as if knowing the answer already. Yukon could joke around at times, but, it was fun making her underwolves mad, especially Kaisen, he always took things so seriously.
