It had been hours since the alpha had left Rhodry, knowing he was just as confused by her action as she was. Mysty had marked areas close by but never too far away from the den. Now she could hear the pups beginning to stir and they most likely would be thirsty. The pack base had a small stream but the pups needed to start exploring more. With the creek only half a mile away she thought that a perfect distance for their age. Getting up she moved to the den and stuck her head in. "Up little ones, we are going on a small run to get you used to the territory." As she lifted her head out Tia charged out,tail whipping around as her brother stumbled out yawning into alertness.
Mysty saw the creek ahead and already she smelled Rhodry strongly. Stopping she decided to keep a distance and let the rouge decide what he would like to do. Tia and Terrin started drinking, not paying any attention to their alphas divided mind.

Blackclaw walked back to the Winterpack camp to rest, it felt like a long day for him.

He was laying down on the ground, chewing on a thick stick in oure boredom. As he let go of the stick with his jaws it went flying through the air and as the happy go lucky guy he is he dashed after it catching it in the air. Happly wagging his tail behind him he layed down again to "murder" the stick. After a short while he heard a mouse prants through the grass wich he gladly started to chase just for fun. He had no intension of catching the mouse, he just wanted something to do really so he follwed the poor mouse a bit from the creek.

A while sooner he felt Myst and the pups sent so he stoped as he landed on the ground. As the mouse ran down into its den he turned around walking back. As he saw the threeman pack he gav up a friendly sound wagging his fluffy tail. So they were back already? for him that is great, it means company!

Mysty & pups- Eastern territory pack


Mysty Raised her head high as Rhodry came into view and barked out a soft greeting. She was feeling oddly torn for she was getting so comfortable around this wolf and quickly too. Was it because he didn't seem at all dangerous and acted like a younger wolf than an adult? All the many questions coursing through her mind wouldn't cease but she firmly ignored them as she moved away from the pups a few steps to greet the male. The alpha noticed the pups quickly began a water fight in a very shallow part of the creek. They gave no real attention to the male other than to acknowledge that he was there by a couple of short barks. It wasn't a very warm welcome but they truly had barely gotten close to her so it was a lot more hopeful looking than most would think. However that led to the fact they had indeed greeted him , even if in a small way. They too seemed totally at ease by the fact they ignored him.
Mysty bowed her head in a hello, not really sure what to say. Her pale gaze ran over him and not for the first time she realized how well he looked for being a loner. Mysty sat a few feet away, turning her head out of a sudden and ridiculous shyness. She was a alpha for goodness sake! Even if she wasn't very socialized it meant little for a alpha is supposed to be the very essence of confidence, she lightly cursed herself and straightened her posture so that she seemed larger...

As he saw the female walk towards him he wagged his tail even stronger then he had before. She seems to atleast somewhat enjoy his company. As the pups barked a bit he looked at them pointing his ears towards them. The seems to be relaxed around him as well, wich is good indeeed. As the alfa bowed down her head he did the same before snickering a bit. SHe looks so stiff. Carefully he walked up to her with his head held low to show respect and abit playfull and yet really carefully pulled her ear. "Dont be so stiff, you must have time to relax and play as well" he said buffing her a bit before he jumped to the side barking with a playfull tone before jumping back again. Come on, she dont have to be so stiff! Besides its easier to get to know each other if you play. You just drop your guard and becomes yourself so to say.

Mysty huffed, annoyed a little by Rhodry's lack of realization she was the only defender to the pack which had two pups. Looking at him with a bit of a stern gaze before freezing upon his actions. Relax, she sighed and didn't want to admit that she had never relaxed before. Even as pups her and her brothers had led hard lives of being trained to be tough and unyielding pack member's under her father. Yet, wasn't that why she had left, so that she could live a life she decided. To also mate who she chose, to no longer have to deal with pack mates that were always trying to rush ahead of her and claim a better rank. Snorting Mysty lunged at him, opening her muzzle and snarling angrily at him, only to pull back last second a more gently nip him in the flank. "You wish me to relax and play? I have not done so before so I think you might wish to reconsider that desire." Her tone was low but held a bite to it as she sat back on her haunches but held a slightly less stiff posture.

Despite his good reactions he barley had time to react to her fast movements, as she niped him in his side he gave up a surpriced sound staring at her a tad shocked. He listened to her and thought for a while. His eyes looking at the ground. "I honestly dont think playing every now and then is bad for anyone. However we all gotta learn how at some point"he said after some thinking. Wagging his tail a bit he gave upp a playfull bark before jumping a bit. Sure she seemed a bit mroe relaxed but honestly she needs to just have some fun, wich she seemed to be lacking of. As he landed the third time a stick went flying through the air and he was quickly after it. With a gracefull jump he soared through the sky before grabbing the stick with his mouth. Playfully he shoke his head "killing" the stick. Fun dont hae to have a reason. You just do it!

Mysty felt her mouth hang open slightly in surprise, then she began to laugh. A deep burning laugh that had her on her back and shaking her whole body. Really had he just acted like he killed a stick? Mysty could stop laughing for that had to be the weirdest thing she had ever seen an adult wolf do. She was panting by the time her laughing ceased. The alpha looked at Rhodry with her pale blue eyes and grinned. " I do not really understand your type of fun, but if your willing to teach me, i'm willing to learn." The red/ white wolf had a light tone and a sparkle could even be caught shining in her gaze.
Suddenly the pups appeared next to their alpha and gently nipped and yipped at her. They would help teach her to play. For they had tried many times but she just didnt seem to understand and all she had focused on was duty. Leaving the pups a little stir crazy...

He looked surpriced at her as she fell down to the ground laughing. He looked at the red and white female wagging his tail. He walked up to her as she calmed down. "Having fun isnt really something you can be taught. Its something you do because you like it. It can be talking, playing or just fooling around looking like a moron. I often tend to be the later"he said gently buffing her. He then looked at the pups and smelled them curiously before he looked around them. He turned the three wolf pack his back and walked to a stick before laing on the ground looking at the pups. "Think you can take it from me?" he asked a bit challanging. Not only did they get to play a bit, it alsoe trained them a bit so it was like two birds with a stone. As he was laying on the ground he chew on the stick as if it was his most priced possesion. Just to kinda get even more into the play.

Kiara
Kiara leaps into the camp and lands in shallower snow before the young pup. When it saw her, his eyes went wide. His tail wagged, and Kiara felt pity for this stolen pup. The pup was to little to know it was not Kiara's own. She broke the rope with her teeth and took the pup back with her into the woods. She carried it in her mouth. (Assuming wolves carry their pups that way)
