Rockfall - Male Juve Wolf
Tariro -- Male Wolf
Lexus -- Male Wolf
Alaqua - Female Wolf
------------------
Rockfall is adventuring in the Big Cave Of Wonders, otherwise known as the large fallen log. The decomposing interior is rich with earthy scents, and he's convinced treasures abound within. The pup explores every little scent, and is quite dirty -- if there were any light to see how filthy he is -- from digging and crawling through the moist decomposition.
Tariro has come here with his sons; somewhat disappointed that only one of them remains awake after the short walk to the area. Keeping an eye on Rockfall, however, he moves around to the otherside of the log which the pup had ventured into. "Anything interesting in there?" he questions.
Lexus has been spending the day exploring and hunting, successfully hunting too judging by the dead hare he's carrying. As he gets closer to the log he starts to hear more and more noise, his ears perking to the sound of voices before he cautiously approaches the area to see what's going on.
Rockfall hadn't heard his father, the log a bit confining for sound and whatnot. "Dad!" he yaps, bounding out so his glorious adventuring can be seen and smelled in the dirt worked deep into his fur. He wags his tail and puts his small, wet nuzzle to his dad's neckruff.
Tariro jumps just a tad, stepping back as Rockfall comes bursting out of the log and straight for him. The sight of the pup is one of disgust, but he bares through it as he's nuzzled; a greenish brown spot no doubly going to appear there afterward. "Hey there." The wolf chuckles. "Now what may I ask were you doing in there?" Other than getting dirty that is... Aika will be so disappointed.
Lexus isn't absolutely positive who Tariro is at first sight, he has a guess but it's Rockfall calling him dad that really confirms he's looking at family. He leaves the hare off by a bush and clears his throat loudly so he's not sneaking up as he moves towards the pair "Play time is it?"
Rockfall yaps, "Well ... there are a lot of interesting smells in there ... I was just having fun!" he says, wagging. He yaps excitedly again as the other wolf approaches. "Lexus!" he yips, whip-wagging even more crazily.
"Interesting smells..." Tariro lowers his head to peer back into the log. How interesting is interesting he wonders; if only he wasn't so big. Looking up at the throat clearing, the white wolf catches sight of the nearing wolf. Uncertain as to whom he is at first, he blinks when his son calls out a name he has not heard since he was a pup. "Lexus..." The wolf sure looked different. "Hello, uncle. Didn't think I'd see you again." Looking down to Rockfall he says, "I take it you've met my son."
Lexus barks back at Rockfall with a happy wag. He's still got a bit of play in him. He turns his grin from Rockfall back to Tariro a second later "Met him but never seen him covered in quite so much mud..." he smiles, almost apologetically "I guess the wind changed or something and it seemed important to find my way back. Sorry I was away so long"
Rockfall shakes his head. "Several days ago, dad. I ... OH!" he gets a 'holy $#!t' look. "Dad!" he suddenly starts wagging excitedly. "Someone else has ... been around ... and met me!" he squeez like crazy. "Your mom ... Cottonpaws!" The pup is uber-excited again ... and hopes to heck he beat his siblings delivering the most important news ever to his dad!
It was certainly alright by Tariro's standards to finally be seeing Lexus after so much time. A wolf will do what he does. "Its just good to see you back." A brisk smiles crosses Tari's face as he says, "Have you heard of our possible merge with the Lazuli?" He hasn't exactly been the most present of wolves lately and isn't sure what Lexus already knows. Looking down to his son who just about squeezes his leg off and blinks. Someone else whose' met Rockfall who could that... wait his mom. "So, my mother has decided to join us has she." He wasn't sure he is should be happy or annoyed. "Well good for her." Cotton and himself haven't exactly been on good terms lately, or least since he left with Shag and came here. "Perhaps I may just go pay her a visit." It was the least he could do; perhaps they can make amends or something.
Making her way through the grass is Alaqua, humming to herself happily as she practically bounces with each step. It seems that the singer is on cloud nine, and why wouldn't she be? Her ears are perked upwards, her posture relaxed, an comfortable as she wanders through the familiar lands. It seems that she's on the search for someone, perhaps that of the star covered wolf, Shag.
Rockfall was totally expecting his dad to become a superhappy puppy with the news. The puppy has no clue, of course, about the misgivings between son and mother, and he gets a bit of a confused look at why his dad isn't suddenly jumping around, wagging his tail and rolling over all goofy from the obviously fantastic news. He hears a familiar sweet voice and yaps over to the shewolf's direction, "Hello ... Qualaka?" he says, his mind stumbling on her name as he is a bit dazed by his father's less-than-super-excited-reaction to the news his mother was about.
Lexus smirks faintly at the excitable young pup as he nods to Tariro's question "Shag filled me in when I found everyone. It's...an interesting idea" he hmms curiously at Tariro's reaction to the news about Cotton but nods slowly "You should, I'm sure she'd be glad to see you" he flicks his ear to the sound of humming, Alaqua getting a quick glance as she gets closer.
Tariro has many reasons for not leaping for joy; keeping them to himself. As much as he would rather keep from his mother; what point would it serve to simply avoid her. A hidden sigh comes from the wolf as he turns to Lexus and nods. "Its an idea I'm considering on taking." He says, an ear flicking to that of humming. Qualaka.. he looks to Rockfall with a rather puzzled look. When the shewolf is nearer, he ahs. He had known of only one other female to linger these area; this must be her. "Alaqua is that you?" Though he has never met this wolfess he calls out to her anyway.
Ears twitching at the sound of her name being murdered, followed by it in it's proper sense, causes Alaqua to let out a soft giggle. "Hey Rocky!" She calls out to the cub, bouncing a bit forward as she goes, before slowing down into a casual trot. Her tail wags furiously as she lets her gaze sweep from Lexus, to Tariro, then says with a sweet, soft voice. "I am indeed, Alaqua. It is nice to meet all of you!" She calls out, her smile widening across her muzzle as she flops back upon her haunches.
Rockfall looks embarrassed as he realizes he said their name wrong. "Alaqua!" he yaps. "Alaqua ... Alaqua ... Alaqua" he tries to learn her name out loud to herself. "Alaqua with the sweet singing voice." He smiles back, wagging ... now feeling being covered in dirt, as he is, may not be a proper dress, so he quickly darts off toward the river for a dip, returning quickly damp but much cleaner.
Lexus raises what passes for his eyebrows a fraction as he watches Alaqua but a second later he squints as he remembers hearing the name, makes connections. He finally nods to her politely "Nice to meet you too" the soggy Rockfall gets a look after that as he smirks "Better?"
So this is the wolfess awake; not the personality he was expecting, he wasn't really sure what to expect though. Looking at her he hrms, furrowing a brow as his son chants her name endlessly for a moment then runs off toward the river. Such a strange one that kid is. Looking back to the female he nods. "As it is here to meet you." He greets. "My brother has spoken highly of you."
"Oh, so you're Tariro, Shaggy's brother. He's told me a lot about you too." Alaqua says as she curls her fluffy tail around her hip, all smiles, and endless happiness it seems. "I was hoping to talk to you. I already got to meet your mother. She's very nice." She says with a dip of her head, practically wiggling with excitement.
It seems everyone but the son likes the mother ... poor dad, if only Rockfall and the others knew there was not a lot of love there. Damp, but not dripping (he did the twist-shake back at the river's edge, fortunately), Rockfall asks aloud, "Anyone know where my bro or sis are? Or Shag? Or Mom?"
Lexus snorts in amusement at 'Shaggy' but he quickly covers it up with a little coughing and after a glance around he moves to get his hare back from it's hiding place, letting the other two talk. He's got no idea where anyone is either so Rockfall doesn't get an answer from him.
Shaggy... Tariro gives a rather amused look to the name given to his brother. He is so going to have to make fun of him about it now. "You have met my mother as well." So he's the only one who hasn't; that isn't a good thing he just knows it. Shrugging it off he just nods. "You wanted to talk with me.." he pauses wondering what exactly she wanted to talk about. Glancing down to his son for a moment he head shakes. "Hywel should be around here however, Gitchi, your mother and Shag are likely still at the river."
"Well, I was hoping to talk to you about joining the pack." Alaqua says, her tail starting to wag again furiously. "I want to be with Shaggy for the rest of my life. He, and I.. have pledged our hearts to each other." She says in a honey dripped voice, practically oozing sugary sweetness. "I'm a good hunter, sorta.. I can fish real well, and I promise to never be a burden. I can sing also." She says, straightening up a bit. "I love puppies also. I can babysit." Her eyes widen some, practically pleading. Please oh please!
Lexus still looks amused but a mouth full of hare keeps him quiet as he moves back out of the bush again, heading vaguely for the river as he listens to the pair on the way.
Taking a seat, Tariro awaits Alaqua's need to speak with him and when he hears it, his ears flick forward. She wanted to joint he pack; well they were looking for members and he'd be glad to have her, but its the reason behind hit that draws him to a pause. She was here for Shag, well can't say that he is surprised. His brother did say that Alaqua had a crush on him and later that /he/ indeed like her in return; he just wondered when the union would take place. Watching her, Tari chuckles some at her antics. "To not accept you into the pack would mean to deny my brother a chance at love. Other than me, he has no one; Knowing that you have come; I should be grateful that some of that burden has been lifted." he thinks over the rest of what she said. "A pup sitter would be most appreciated as well; though something like that would have to be taken up with Aika." Going quiet for a moment now, he looks out across the way for a moment then back. "If you can keep to all that you've said; keeping my brother happy, hunting, keeping watch over the pups and ensuring the safety of the pack alongside me and the rest of its members, then I gladly welcome you into Viridian."
Squirming the entire time as he speaks, it seems that Alaqua can't contain her endless amount of cascading energy. She smiles even brighter when he accepts her, and she lets out a loud, happy yelp. "Of course I can! I promise to serve the pack with honor, and loyalty. I will make your brother happy, forever." She says, then bounds forward, giving Tariro a lick across the cheek, then flops her chin across his shoulders. "I always wanted a brother!" She squeaks out. "Now I have one. Yay!"
Lexus drops his hare for a moment to quietly interrupt Tariro "I'll leave you to it Tariro and go have my lunch. Nice meeting you again Alaqua" the hare's picked back up the to carry it off to the river, find a nice quiet spot to eat it.
A brother, Tari wasn't sure he'd go that far. "Always to good to have a sister.... again." The last part he says quietly to himself. Brushing up against her in a nuzzle, he notices Lexus and nods to him; a silent confirmation of his departure.
