Rikki gave Blaen a side ways glance at his comment. Lovely, she didn't really think her smile was anything too special. She had been the weird pup in the pack, after all she was the only light coat wolf in the whole territory...Her father had often wondered if she was even his, thankfully Rago was the spitting image of him. It was the only thing that kept her alive. Every wolf in her pack had found her odd and strange but definitely never lovely. "-Uh, Thanks..." Noticing the air getting cooler she began shaking out her coat, more to clear it of debris then anything. Golden gaze sliding over the male she smirked " Well, if you really wanted to I suppose you could scare a bear cub..If it's mother wasn't around." She snickered a little imaging Blaen trying to scary off a stubborn bear cub..

All Raja could do in those moments as Stray jumped away and hid behind her feline friends was widen his eyes. After the cat's words...His singular response was simple "MATE!?" he yelped the words loud enough that is slightly echoed in the large open space of the plains. Images of his mother and father flashed into his mind and his shivered from unease..They had hated each others,truly...His father had said it started out nice in the beginning but all mating turn sour...His golden gaze flashed to Stray, was she going to want to avoid him their whole lives like his mother did to his father?...

( Thanks, siblings got sick and then gave it to all that coughing and fever goodness to me...So have been a bit out recently.. :p )

Rain froze, he wasn't sure what to make of any of this..The smell was so strange they were still not sure if they had or hand't smelled it before.... Looking at the black female they waited for her. For now she was the alpha, until they was healthy enough to leave anyway.. Rago was alert simply because this was a hunt, but played the rest for indifference.

Stray stared after Snow and Sand a look of sadness in her eyes it was Raja yelp that brought her back to reality "what's wrong Raja?" She asked giving him a questioning look the words Snow and Sand used echoing in her head

Mate she didn't think they seemed that close but maybe they were and she didn't realize it she waited for Raja to respond wondering if she could really be someone's mate

Shadora scented the author again and turned to her temporary pack "Stay" it was a simple command Rago let's go she turned and started in the direction of the smell it wasn't long before they got to the place the smell had come from but you can see nothing Shadow dug into the ground ignoring her hurt shoulder until the ground gave way and both her and Rain/Rago fell into a deep hole with a thud Shadow stood up and shook off her coat "it smells like death in here" she said to rain/Rago as she moved down the pitch black tunnel as she reached the end it opened up into a cave her eyes adjusted

She knew this cave because it was hers she followed the smell of death and came upon the corpse of a female wold she had been dead a day maybe two Shadow growled an evil menacing growl how dear this one come into her cave and foul it up by dying in it " help me with the corpse" she said to rain/Rago

(so so so sorry to hear that you have been sick :( Hope its getting better ... )


Blaen/ male/ 3years/ stray/ current location:PP

He looked at her, waiting for her response, and in all honesty, she isn quick to answer, Infact she seems rather dull and slow right now. Kinda the oposit of what she have seen up to this werry moment. Ar her comment about him beeing able to scare a cub he just laughed. "Yeah right, the cubs are even more stubborn than the adult ones. And just how often are the cubs away from their mother?" he pointed out. Catching a cub without its mother is about as likely as him sprouting wings and turning shining pink. "Im probably the most unfrightning adult wolf there is, large sure but im so thin that it looks like a wind will push me down or blow me away" he continued.

Rikki blinked as the image of Blaen blowing away with the wind sent an odd ache rolling her stomach. Was she really so desperate that a strange wolf she hadnt known long would ease the loneliness within her? Her body trembled a little at her thoughts but she quickly jerked herself back into reality. " You have a point there, its rare." A small smirk lifted the edges of her lips. " However, Ive seen it and you would think me insane if you knew how I responded to the situation..." Rikki shook her head at the absurdity of helping out a lost bear cub that had wondered too far from home. Looking down at her paws a urge to step closer to Blaen overwhelmed her, she missed the closeness of another. Snorting she turned away from the male to look up at the sky. Raja had pulled away from her ever since their brother and pack was killed, she rarely saw him..."I think your underestimating yourself Blaen, besides I can clearly see the muscle hidden beneath your coat." Rikki let her golden gaze slide over his body, the wind ruffling his red-ish fur. It was true he wasn't large with muscle, but she was sure that the Blaen was strong and swift.

Raja's golden gaze stared unfocused for a moment, memories colliding with the present. He took a deep breath, his broad chest expanding further and making him look twice the size he was. " Uh, I do not know of what other packs mate's lives are like...I hope they are more pleasant than what my parents had, all i know of mates is anger and hate." A frown marred his face, black fur rising as frustration of not knowing what was normal flashed through his mind. " I know nothing of what is normal, simply instinct." The words came out in a low growl before Raja heaved out a sigh. Nervous and confused he began to pace, scanning his surroundings.

Rain whined, the sound only heard by his brother. Rago glared at the pitch black surrounding him, not wanting to look at the corpse before him. Death was so much apart of a wolfs life that it shouldn't bother him at all but the sounds of tortured howls rang in his ears. " You do it, its your den..." The words were strangled as he tried to choke down a whine. Without thinking he took a step back, a growl rising in his throat as flames and blood overtook his vision. Rago's lungs burned as the world went black...
Rain cried out as he was thrust to the front of their mind. " What...Fire...Rikki,Raja...Where am I?" Blackness and fire swirled around his vision as Rain took a step back and tripped over something...A figure loomed over him, Rikki...? No, his sisters fur was pure white.
