Cosmo was shocked and relived that there was no fight and his packmates seemed to be handling the sitution pretty well. He decided to go hunting and leave the wolves alone. Cosmo had his suspitions but decides to keep this a secret.

Tulip looked at the female and then to Arctic. Tulip thought Shit i might pass out soon. Tulip almost fell but caught her balance but just happened to be enough for the rouge to get up. Tulip passed out and ended up asleep. Before she passed out she said "Arctic you know what to do just leave him alone."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(Sorry if i confused you guys she used her power longer than her limit meaning she is out.)

Bandit watched as Tulip loosened her grip and suddenly passed out. Bandit had never seen this happen to her before, he knew Tulip had powers but had never seen her lose all of her energy. He quickly ran over and laid down next to Tulip with a shocked expression. He looked at Artic but quickly back at Tulip, he laid his head on her side. *No, what happened!* He thought quickly still laying on Tulip.

Although she knew there could be problems for trusting the rouge, Winter knew now wasn't the time to fight. When he layed down by her she nodded. "She'll need our body heat to help her wake up." Arctic told the male. She then also layed down next to Tulip, against a part of her not covered by the Rouge.

Bandit looked back up at Artic as she spoke, he nodded as Artic walked over to lay on the other side of Tulip. Bandit looked into Tulip's eyes and nuzzled her with his muzzle. He wrapped his tail with Tulip's, making them intertwine. "I love you, please wake up." Bandit whispered into Tulip's ear so Artic could not hear.

Arctic sensed that her friend and the Rouge knew eachother for how he had reacted to Tulip passing out. She couldn't tell if they were family or not, probably not. She guessed they were not simply friends. If they were lovers and Luna found out, it wouldn't be good for Tulip. She decided that for her friend's sake, she'd keep quiet and not tell her leader. "Look, I'm sorry for earlier. I was trying to protect our pack." Arctic finally says. "I don't know how, but I sense you are close to Tulip. Since she's my friend, I won't tell my Alpha." She adds. *However, I can't promise your safety.* she adds silently.

Bandit looks at Artic and replied, "It's okay," Bandit looked back at Tulip and said, "I-I am close to her." he mumbled just enough for Artic to hear. Bandit started to blush a little bit and closed his eyes. He flattened his ears and buried his muzzle into Tulip's fur, breathing in her scent.

Tulip moved a bit and when she did she felt weight on her. Tulip opened her eyes but couldn't keep them open for long but she was able to say "I will need a few more minutes guys." Tulip thoughts were scattered and her heart was racing due to so much touch from Bandit.

Bandit felt the movement of Tulip. He opened his eyes and lifted some weight off of her. He heard her say that she needs a few more minutes. Bandit smiled at this news and untwined his tail with Tulip's and wagged it slowly. "Tulip, your okay." he softly said looking into her eyes. He laid his head back on top of Tulip but with less weight this time.

Winter nodded and stayed put. She tilted her head curiously at the confirmation of the two wolves being close. He seemed to really care for Tulip. *If only he could join the pack somehow.* She found herself thinking. She knew it was likely impossible. Perhaps it was better that way. As nice as he seemed, he would only be put in danger of the humans even if he were accepted.
