She gives him a wink before snickering at the spray of water that comes from his pelt. She backs up slowly and settles back on her haunches, a large wolfish smile growing on her features. "So did you ever talk to Tariro.. about us?" she questions softly, head tilting. Her tail thumps the ground a few times before she peers to him thoughtfully.
Lexus chuckles at her and still drips but at least not so much now. She backs up, he moves forwards and aims a lick at her ear as he sits down next to her. The question he kind of dreads, he really wishes he could say yes "Well, Coinin I found, we have the beta's blessing. Tariro I'm surprisingly good at missing, hunting, running, patrolling, sleeping, I never quite seem to bump into the wolf to pull him aside for a talk" it probably never helped that Lex doesn't stay still for very long. Wanderer by spirit.
Rayen smiles gently, "It's ok Lex.. I'm sure we'll snag him down some time," she chuckles. She leans into the lick and sighs gently, "I don't think it will be a problem though do you?" She leans against him, head laying upon his neck tenderly and tail thumping. "At least it's been brought to Coinin's attention though."
Moving through the underbrush of the trees a white wolf emerges into the river clearing carring what looks like several rabbit. Spending the whole morning hunting seems to have paid off. Dropping the rabbits within the grouping of wolves, Tariro seats beside them licking his lips then iching a shoulder. Pricked ears take on voices moments later, looking around.
Lexus relaxes a little, she's not disappointed, his tail wags softly again and he rests his head back on top of hers. A flick of the ear, a glance and he quickly lifts it off again as speak of the wolf "Tariro!"
Of course she wasn't dissapointed! She chuckles lightly and snuggles in close to him before his head lifts and she as well spots Tariro not to far in the distance. Green-yellow eyes flit to him then Lexus and she nudges him slightly, a impish grin on her features. "Ask and you shall recieve.." she chuckles.
Tariro immediately turns to the wolf calling of his name. "Ah, uncle." He gives a polite smile to Rayen next. Getting up and moving from the rabbit, Tar heads for the two. "How are the two of you doing?" Its certianly been a long while since he's seen these two let alone spoken to them.
Lexus suddenly gets the feeling that he's sat awfully close to Rayen, he supposes that will pass soon depending on Tariro's reaction. Ok, positive thoughts! Rayen's grin makes him smile, that helps and he moves, going to meet Tariro in the middle "Good, very good. I'd been looking for you actually" a quick glance back to Rayen and then he looks at Tariro again "I'm not sure if Coinin has been able to mention it but, erm, I'd like permission to, er" another glance at Rayen, totally worth being nervous over "Heh, take a mate"
She can feel her ears pinkin as she hears Lexus asking Tariro to take a mate. She shifts where she sits, ears tilting forwards to pick up the conversation. Until Tariro speaks however she remains quiet, tounge running over her lips and nose nervously.
It was pretty obvious what his uncle was about to ask of him, the glances back to Rayen quite noticeable. Lexus's mention of Coinin brings a head shake to the white wolf as he hasn't spoken to him since he's own asking of wanting to court. Turning to the female for a moment he nods toward her and cant help but pick up her own nervousness. Why so tense. His nod turning into a smile when he turns back to his uncle. "A mate huh." All this asking makes him feel like one of those old fashioned fathers and especially odd since its coming form his uncle and not someone younger. "As odd as it is to hear my uncle ask for permission on something from his younger, I must say I'm not surprised." He chuckles. "You deserve to be happy, even if its coming late in life." One last look is give to Rayen. "You take good care of him alright."
Lexus might wander off for months on end in the past but it's definitely his upbringing that keeps him from even considering the possibility of doing anything before he spoke to the alpha. He would never have crossed his parents, or his sister, just because the alpha is now his nephew doesn't seem to change his thoughts on the rules of the pack. He instantly grins and almost dashes back to Rayen, all excitable like he really is a young pup still but he stops before he gets more than a step and looks back to Tariro quickly to mutter "And pups would be...?" he hasn't talked about it with Rayen, it's his assumption it will happen but better to ask now than have to find Tariro again come the right season.
A wide smile breaks her muzzle as she gets to her paws, tail wagging cheerfully. When Tariro speaks to her she nods her head vigerously, "I will, I promise!" She stays where she's standing, eagerly awaiting Lexus to get back to her. When he turns back to question Tariro once more she blinks curiously. Whats he askin? Blink. But she brushes it off in her happiness, paws doing little happy steps. Taww.
Tariro chuckles at the elders response to his reply. When asked about pups he blinks. "It all part of taking a mate, Lexus." he smiles. "I welcome whatever pups you and yours brings to this world." Tar actually seemed happy that his uncle would even mention something like that. The possibility of having cousins was exciting.
Lexus likes to be sure and it's just good practice to make sure the alpha knows what could be coming. Lex is pretty darn excited by the idea himself, he's been a son, brother, uncle and great-uncle, he'd given up on father. He grins at Tariro and quickly aims a little nosenudge at the alpha's muzzle in thanks before quickly bounding back to Rayen, happy bounce, wag. If he hadn't been going a little grey around the eyes and muzzle for a while no one would probably guess he's as old as he is. He had more energy than most to start with, there's still plenty to spare for bouncing around.
Well if its pups he's going to want he's going to need that energy! As he bounces back in her direction Rayen gives Tariro a warm nod before stepping forwards to meet Lexus. She gives him a loving little nuzzle before chuckling, "See, now that wasn't too bad!" Her tail wags cheerfully as she leans her weight against him, nosing at his cheek fur.
Tariro watches the wolf with a chuckle. It was so odd seeing him bounce around like a pup, might as well get use to it for when they decide to have pups. Watching them for a while longer, he turns to the rabbits he caught earlier. "Oh.. I caught a few rabbits, want one?" He did have three and was willing to share.
Lexus usually bounds around happily when he's excited, he just doesn't get quite as excited as he is right now usually. Closest is probably when he's playing with puppies, springing around with them is always fun but this is a whole other level of excitement. Nuzzles are shared and then Lex looks back to Tariro again "I wouldn't say no. My attempt at fishing was not entirely successful" he's still a little soggy in fact.
Maybe that is why Tariro doesn't fish; he never walks away with anything. His offer accepted, the wolf stands and heads for the rabbits, picking one up and carrying it over to his uncle. Dropping it to the ground he says, "Here you go. Hope you enjoy."
Lexus usually manages to catch something if he's patient enough and not distracted, today he was distracted, the arrival of Rayen will do that. He's more than happy for the rabbit though and flops down to hold it under his paws as he eats. There's a pause, as he's busy taking the edge off his hunger before he speaks up again "All's well?" his business is sorted, good time to catch up on everyone else's.
Tariro waits for his uncle to start on the given rabbit before moving back to the other two and grabbing one for himself. Settling down, he looks back to Lexus and nods. "From what I've noticed, yea." He could be wrong though. Coinin's been doing most of the work lately, something he should probably change some. "I've been checking out the nearby area, may of come across a decent den sight." He'd have to venture inside to know for sure.
Lexus perks his ears, this news is at least somewhat related to his thoughts lately "I take it we will be moving again soon then? Is it close? What sort of area is it this time?" the only thing he hopes is that it's not another desert.
"Its close." Tar says looking up from his meal. "Still in the forest, use to be part of Lazuli I think." Being the only den in the area that he has seen, Tar figures it to be a good place to set up camp.
Lexus considers the idea, particularly as it could have once been part of Lazuli. Unlike a few older wolves in the family though Lex never had a problem with them. He nods slowly "I do like the forest, it's no mountain but the prey is good. If it was part of Lazuli's lands then I imagine it may already be big enough too...I may go and have a look" ten minutes ago he was bouncing all over, now he's thoughtful but then that's just Lex. He rises to his paws and inclines his head in a small bow for the Alpha "Thank you Tariro" it's been a good day.
