The slim brute would look around, not realizing Arya had walked away until he looked back around and seen she was moving. Quickly following, he got low and silent. Akela wasn't a hunter by any means, his feet were like that of rocks that hit the ground with such force you could hear it echo throughout the woods. "I'm sorry if i'm a little loud.." He mentioned toward Arya, hoping he wouldn't make her mad. Though, as he noticed the other female flank Arya, he stopped and looked at her and studied for a moment. Oh.. It's just Angola.. He thought before continuing forward.

Yukon | F | Head Warrior | Dark Pines | M: Kaisen, Strifle, Kodiak(dir), Felis(ind)

After both canines had answered their alpha, Yukon turned her attention onto Kaisen before her thoughts were soon interupted by yet another wolf. Hearing Kodiaks voice, Yukon's audits flicked as her emeralds locked gazes with the other. "I haven't seen Felis yet today.. Perhaps he is still sleeping?" She sort of stated with a small hint of sarcasm in her voice. Yukon wasn't one to talk to so many wolves at once, one could say she got overwhelmed easily. Though, Yukon thought of it as others annoying her just because they could. Turning her gaze back to Kaisen, "Have you seen Felis?" she questioned, her audits laying back against her skull slightly as she moved to stand up, shaking her pelt out and reliving tension within her muscles.

Saige | F | Nursing Mother | Golden Forest | M: Rameses, Aashvi, Shyla

The silence filled the air rather awkwardly as the small group walked. Though, it wasn't like Saige could talk anyways with a mouth full of pup scruff. As they got too the den, she gently set her son down and nudged him into the den, Shyla not too far behind, her small tail wagging.

Hearing the sudden question, Saige's auditories flicked. The small female would think for a good moment or two. She had never had anyone take such interest in her or her pups since they've gotten here. The female knew she wasn't going to complain, but, she was caught off guard to say the least. "I-I wouldn't mind that at all!" She happily stated, her fluffy black with white striped tail wagged gently behind her. Saige was both excited yet confused, though, she was also grateful for Rameses' offer.

"I'm sure Aashvi would love too run around, He's got lots of energy, so.. I'm sure he'd like it." She stated as she would look in the den before watching as Aashvi and Shyla both come barreling out of it, Aashvi's small mouth nipping at his sister until she rolled onto her back and he pounced. Giving a slightly defeated sigh, Saige would allow them too play. "I'm also sure Shyla would enjoy some time to herself." She laughed a little as she looked back at the large male.

"Do you have anyone to help often?"

First, he wanted to come visit and take Aashvi to get energy out, now he was offering to pupsit? Saige was loving this brute more and more every second! Though, she contained her excitement. Frowning slightly, she'd shake her head. "No, I have had no help since they've been born.." She stated gently to him as she sat down, looking back over at her pups and seeing them gnawing on one another. Giving a motherly smile, she'd once again look back at Rameses. "A break sounds amazing, though, you gotta do what you have too.." She mentioned with a slightly weakened but tough smile.

The sounds of claws tapping in the den and the morning sunlight woke Storm. The sound of tapping claws was gone already, so he guessed it was probably his dear Neryth leaving to begin her morning duties. I will join her shortly. He decided, squeezing into a tighter ball to get comfortable again. But, it seems the sunlight denies this, as it immediately poured into the den and right in his face, and if it had a voice, it would probably be demanding he gets up.

A low growl sounded from Storm's throat before he began to stretch, his fur stiffening up until he stopped stretching. Then, he began to sit up, his ears perked up and listening for the sounds of wolves outside. He heard talking slightly, which sounded faintly like Neryth talking to Ramses, and then a yip from what seemed to be Dapple. When he was on his feet, he padded out of the den, carefully avoiding the roots so he didn't bump his head on them before sliding himself out the exit, his eyes immediately landing on Neryth. The beautiful she wolf seemed to be talking to a pup now, with Ramses and Dapple nearby talking to each other. He was about to go greet them, but he had other plans. Instead, the male snuck away from the den as silent as he could be, heading outside the camp.

Storm quickly trotted through the forest, making a beeline to a rose bush he'd found yesterday when going for a walk. Neryth would love a rose. He suddenly tripped, barely managing to stay on his feet, but he didn't manage to hold in a woof sound, and only managed to keep it muffled. The sweet smell of roses flooded to his nose, each few steps it getting stronger and stronger.

Storm paused when he saw a giant pile of leaves, and his tail wagged uncontrollably. Leaves! Shall I jump in them? He stared at the pile of colorful green and brown leaves piled together, seemingly quite amazed by how big the pile was. That's the biggest pile I've ever seen! This is a one in one thousand chance to jump in a pile this big. Finally deciding, he lept as high into the air as he possibly could, landing in teh pile of leaves and rolling around, sending them flying around in every direction possible. The sounds of leaves crunching was very loud, and echoed through the trees in a small radius around the source of the noise, which was him rolling around in leaves that was the source.

After he finished rolling around, Storm padded out of the pile and began to follow the scent, only to find out that the rose bush happened to be right next to the pile. It was destroyed, almost having no roses left, but thankfully there were three perfect ones still left that would be perfect for Neryth. He gently picked all three flowers up, carefully holding the stems in his jaws to ensure no flowers would get ruined. Then, he turned to head back to camp.

When Storm was almost back at camp, he caught the scent of his mate. Hm. I guess she left camp? He thought before turning around to follow the scent trail, noticing a few paw prints in the ground as well. Then, he began to swiftly canter after the trail, his paws thumping on the ground every time they hit the dirt, rarely making a few crunches or snapping sounds due to leaves and branches on the ground.

After a little while of running, Storm finally spotted Neryth in the distance, so he lept behind a tree and started shaking the leaves that got stuck in his fur out, stopping to pull the few defiant ones out before licking his paws clean and then emerging out from behind the tree again with a graceful, slow walk, a charming grin plastered on his face as he approached the female, as quietly as he could. Only the faint crunching of the dried, dead leaves would reveal his location, or if she turned around and looked. The closer he got, the more his smile expanded on his face until he was only a few feet behind her. Then, he broke out into a sprint running in front of the female and doing a twirl so he'd be looking right at her. "For you, my queen." He hummed, handing her the roses, his ears perked up and his smile big. Then, he awaited the female's reaction, hoping she would be pleased with the flowers he got her.

Storm smiled even more when Neryth's eyes lightened up at the flowers. It always made him happy when he could make her happy. When her amber gaze laid on him, he let out a small, happy woof with his tail slowly wagging around. Her eyes are always so stunning, and beautiful. He thought as he gazed into them, his ears perked up and his tail still wagging. The female began to speak before leaning forward and grabbing a defiant leaf that managed to stay behind his ear even after he shook his fur out well. Even after making sure he got every leaf out, of course one still had to remain in his fur. He shook the feelings of annoyance away, and his mate's smile made it completely go away and replace the feeling of annoyance with more happiness!

Then, Neryth asked if he was playing in the leaves, and he detected amusement in her tone. A nervous chuckle came from his throat before he began to speak, "You know I can never resist to play in leaves, especially when it's a super big pile of them! You should've seen the pile I found, it was enormous!" He gave her a big grin, his ears perked up and his tail wagging faster now. "I bet you play in leaves in secret too, darling." He woofed playfully before trying his best to put the flowers behind her ear, struggling miserably a bit before finally succeeding and managing to get them all behind her ear. "Ah, you look splendid, my queen."

An autumn-colored female walked through the scenery, her eyes taking in the coming spring blossoms. The scent of the pine and dewdrops filling her senses, along with the smell of new life - what a time. She had a steady and comfortable gait,'taking in everything before her - and that's when she saw a mother doe and her fawns. The mother gently licking the helpless thing. Oh how she was tempted to interrupt such a scene but she couldn't help but stare, in a way she felt . . . sad. Why? She didn't know, it perplexed her, and after getting out of her own thoughts - she noted the object of her observations had fled the scene. Huh, how peculiar she inwardly thought. Was she really thinking about the possibility of having her own pups? Starting her own legacy? She really had y thought about things such as romance and parenthood in a positive light before, but every spring she could feel herself grow sadder - was it because she was envious of those welcoming children? Or the loving mates that showed concern for each other. How confusing.
