@ You're fine with the pings. People just randomly ping me for random, weird reasons in the pet forums...@

Rose watches her friends with a big grin. She leans against the windowsill after giving the rest of her food to the endless pit that is Ryu. It doesn't take her long to doze off into a light sleep, she seems at peace listening to the others as she dozes.

Nola laughs and nods excitedly, "Yes!". Skylar looks toward Dean for permission before smiling and nodding in agreement as well.

Mia asks if she cam help Jacob because she loves to cook. She laughs when Dean starts when Jayden drops the rabbit at his feet. (He was leaning against the wall and dozing off)

Dean jumps a little when Jayden drops the rabbit at his feet and thanks him. Dean picks up the rabbit and blinks a few times to clear his vision as it has filled with colors and black spots. He hands the rabbit to Mia and leans back up against the wall before being dragged to a chair by Shadow.

After Shadow drags Dean to a chair she sits on him when he tries to get back up. ^We're good. You need to rest.^ ^Nope. Let me up.^ ^If you don't rest... I'll have her heal you next. We all know how guilty that will make you feel but I will do it. Unless you stay put.^ When he stops fighting her she sits on the arm of the chair and makes sure he doesn't try anything.

Jax chuckles and gives Jacob a sympathetic look as he understands the pain of being ordered around by your sister, or in his case with Crimson, his sister figure.

Naven is sitting cross-legged on a table. Nazar is upside-down on a chair at the table, humming. Shadow looks about ready to walk over and slap Nazar for his behavior.

(Oh, I see. I'm sorry.)

Courage keeps shushing people if she thinks they get too loud for her slumbering friend beside her. Galaxia keeps teasing Ryu, who has decided to shut her out and dedicate the time right now to devouring the food Rose had just handed him. Asher finishes his watermelon in peace and starts tapping his foot while looking at the clock.
"How long do you think it'll take my dad to find me and make sure I'm doing my job correctly?" He asks his dragon friends. Ryu stops eating for a moment and glances at Courage. Courage decides to answer the question.
"If you think about it, it won't take long for him to catch up to us because he has dragons, too. If he wanted you, wouldn't he already have you back?" Courage asks.
Asher shakes his head, "No, because it might take a while for him to realize I've gone AWOL." Asher looks like he's about to say something else but he closes his mouth and shakes his head.

Kalib smiles and races to the game closet. "If you can name it, I probably have it." She says, crouching down to remove the deck of cards from her bag and adding it to the game closet in the spot it belonged, neatly stacked upon four decks of cards that sit beside five others, half of which are unopened. There's board games, too, stacked on top of each other or slipped sideways into an open space to make sure everything fit in there right and still had room to get everything out safely. On the floor beneath the bottom shelf were video game consoles and three cases full of the chips needed to play the games.
"Pick your poison." Kalib chirps cheerfully, waiting her friends decision on what to play. She is very proud and protective of her game collection, so I'd advise not hurting anything or losing any of the pieces.

Jacob nods once to let Mia know that she can come help cook. "If I were anyone else, I'd trust you with cooking more than me." Jacob lets her know quietly. He thanks Jayden for the rabbit as the wolf trots back to his room. Jacob leads the way to the kitchen. He didn't bother to check if Mia is keeping up because, to be completely honest, Jacob still didn't like the thought of Borealis wolves in his territory, so close to his wolves which he had to protect.

Felicia looks between Naven and Nazar, not seeming to mind how Nazar or Naven is sitting. "Which of you is which again? I'm sorry. Dean said to do... Nazar first." Felicia says.
^Hey, are you using the first aid kit?^ Jayden seems to materialize beside her. Felicia can't help but jump.
"Um, no, it should be wherever you keep it normally." Felicia says. She had healing powers and didn't normally use supplies unless absolutely needed.
^Ah, great. Thanks.^ Jayden bounds over to a cabinet and tries to open it with wolf paws.

"C'mon, stupid piece of wood. Open up!" Jayden growls to himself quietly, standing on his hind legs as he tries to slip his paw through the handle and pull it back towards him. He snorts in annoyance and some amusement when he realizes he could have, should have, been using his teeth instead to pull it open.
"Honestly, we should have thought of that before." Jayden mumbles to himself as he swipes the first aid kit out of the cabinet, closes the cabinet, and then trots back the way he came. He takes a shower and helps fix himself up before getting changed in a casual outfit and heading back to the front door.
"See you later, Kalib." Jayden says with a smile, patting his cousin's head as he walks by her on the way out. "Let's hope Mark doesn't kill me, yes?" He laughs nervously and readjusts his watch.
"Yes. You're not allowed to have bad luck, get hurt, or die." Kalib gives Jayden a big hug.
"Mmm, so you're saying I can choose two of them to have and only have to follow one?" Jayden jokes around, smiling when his cousin gives him a look. "A'ight, a'ight. I won't die or get hurt or have bad luck... Or try not to." He goes back to leaving the house when Kalib lets him go.

Rose is still napping.

Skylar looks at the amount of games in complete awe and confusion. Nola furrows her eyebrows in thought before shrugging, "No, clue... Hey! How about Clue?"

Mia follows quietly and keeps her head down. She quietly helps cooking. After they finish cooking she cleans up any mess they made.

Nazar is still upside down when Felicia walks over. He smiles at her and waves his hand at her, "I'm Nazar." Naven kicks his chair and chuckles as Nazar shoots off the chair and onto his feet and pushes Naven over. "Your on pipsqueak." Naven shouts. Nazar takes off, up the stairs and away from Naven. Shadow shouts at them to come back as they loudly chase each other around the attic. Shadow sighs and looks toward Felicia, "Hi, I guess, we are skipping them." she smiles, "I'm Shadow. That is Dean the weirdo who thinks he is invincible."

Ryu finishes the food for everyone and clears the table, taking the dirty dishes to the kitchen sink to wash them. His tail helps balance him when it seems like he's going to tip over and drop something.

"Yes, we can play Clue!" Kalib says, picking up a couple board game boxes to get to Clue. She hands Clue to Skylar before placing the other board games down gently. "Let's head to the kitchen table to play. Or we can go to my room - it has a desk and a floor, depending on where you prefer to play games." She chuckles.

Felicia listens to the two rough house upstairs and decides the following, "If they can do that, I think they're well off." She looks over Shadow and helps where needed, chuckling when she introduces Dean as 'the weirdo who thinks he is invincible'. "I know a few of that type. A lot, actually. Coco, Conner - our Alpha, not your Conner - Jacob, Jayden, and Mark among others. I love them all, though. They're hard working among other admirable traits." Felicia smiles and finishes up Shadow before returning to face Dean and ask who he wants helped next.

Rose mumbles something under her breath in her sleep and repositions.

"I don't mind..." Nola responds, knowing Skylar doesn't feel comfortable making decisions yet. Sky watches Nola, reading her responses to things and to the conversation.

Shadow laughs lightly before responding, "We are pretty tough... It takes a lot to knock us down..." she sighs and then mumbles, "When you're used to it, it doesn't bother you as much..."

Dean opens his eyes slightly and responds, The twins and May... If you can find where your packmate ran off with her, you can heal Skylar, too." He closes his eyes again and exhales with a huff. (He is awake but resting)

Caleb is laughing at Connor who is oblivious that he has a hot chocolate mustache.

Jax is guarding Crimson, who is starting to move around in her spot on the couch but isn't awake yet.

After washing the dishes, Ryu returns and asks what the next order of business is. Galaxia suggests that, since one of them is asleep already, might as well head to the motel someone had been talking about? Courage decides it's as good a plan as any while Asher asks who's willing to move Rose.

"A'ight. I think the kitchen's in use." Kalib uses her nose to smell that someone's cooking something. "So my bedroom..." She leads the way to her bedroom. She takes a spot on the floor and begins to set up the game Clue.

Felicia nods in understanding. "I see..." She listens to Dean and nods again to let him know she heard. She moves on to the twins, holding back a laugh quite miserably when she sees the chocolate mustache. She offers him a napkin to wipe it away, letting him know he had a cute mustache made of chocolate. Then she checks them over and helps them before moving on to May and finishing her job... She returns to Dean and double checks she has gotten everyone but him.

Rose stirs as she hears her name and sits up rubbing her eyes, growling slightly as she stretches, careful not to hit anyone or anything. "Hmm?" she asks, confused and still half asleep but able to respond to just about anything. "Whazz up?" she slurs as she blinks and scrunches her face, trying to wake up more. Her posture has her slightly tipped back toward her napping spot.

Nola and Skylar follow Kalib to her room. Sky looks around in awe at her amazing room, which is much nicer then where she stay in the Omega 'Den' aka Omega Shed. Nola sits on the floor by Kalib's bed and watches Sky's attention dart from one thing to the next as she takes in the room.

Caleb and Conner dart around the living room, now full of excitement... Mia is helping cook. Shadow decides to help Mia. Nazar and Naven crash down the stairs as Nazar is tripped by Naven and pulls him along. Dean glances toward the other boys before looking soo tired of their shenanigans. "All that is left is Sky, where ever she went... She is pretending to be fine... Those two fools, who make males look bad, with their actions." he taunts the tangle of limbs that the boys became when the reached the bottom of the stairs. "And myself... I guess..."

Jax is leaning against the wall by Crimson, when she wakes with start. Her eyes flash open and she bolts upright into a normal sitting position. Her breathing is fast and random but she quickly forces herself to breath slower and steadier. Her eyes flicker around her surroundings and pause shortly on what has changed. Jax clears his throat and her head turns so she can see him. "It's fine. We're fine. We're safe... You're safe." he says and she nods and seems to calm down some. He relaxes at that as though her high level of anxiety is normal. (which it is for her _{*and me too*})

"The sky. That's what's up." Ryu breaks in before anyone else can. He grins at Asher, who then explains that they were thinking of going to the motel if she wanted to take a rest.

There's scattered pieces of paper and books on the desk and paintings hang from the wall. Thanks to the power of tape, a few quotes from different books and movies are stuck to the shelf, which holds paints, brushes, pens for calligraphy, and different pencils. Her bed is guarded by a slew of stuffed animals of all sorts, species, and sizes that cover up the fact that the bed is made.
Kalib's cousin had pulled a few strings to get her room as nice as it is and half the stuff the two had made together. She hums quietly as she finishes setting up and hands the dice to Skylar to roll to see if she gets to play first. Kalib's hand inches towards the blue playing piece, but her eyes are trained on Nola, waiting for her to chose her piece first.

"Since you're here and not occupied with rough housing or playing with Kalib... Do you mind if I heal you first?" Felicia asks.

(Hmmm, yes, anxiety is not fun but normal... fortunately or unfortunately, blessing or curse.)

Rose nods and stumbles to her feet as they are asleep still. After grumbling at her feet for a few seconds she thanks Mama Leana and leads the way to the motel and gets a room key and leads the way to the room which happens to be a large suite with enough room for all of them to sleep with personal space and it has its own kitchen and three large-ish bathrooms. (it is in a back building with a few small motel rooms)

Nola smiles and grabs the yellow piece and Sky slowly grabs the green piece with nervous look on her face as if she is afraid she will be yelled at or hit. Nola hands the dice to Sky who rolls a two and a four. Nola rolls a three and a six. She then hands the dice to Kalib. Skylar asks where the bathroom is. After she is informed she goes there and tries to stem the blood flowing from her nose and grimaces at her sore and broken ribs from being knocked into a bookcase. She didn't tell Crimson because she wanted to help her like she helps them.

Dean scowls and nods with a shrug that says he doesn't like it but it is her pack's land so she outranks him here. "Okay." he replies and looks slightly guilty at the thought of being healed before his pack but he tries to reason with his mind saying it will help him protect them if necessary.

Nazar and Naven struggle to untangle themselves. Once they do, they sit at the bottom of they stairs looking sore and tired.

Courage holds tightly onto Galaxia's hand as they walk. She didn't want to mess up and fall away from the group, run into something, or trip and fall and have no-one be there to catch her. Courage roams around the motel, claiming the couch the same time Ryu does even though both know there's enough room for them to sleep elsewhere.
After a small debate, Ryu gets possession of the couch, which he goes to big lengths to keep it his and have no one else even touch it. Ryu doesn't correct Asher when he sits on the couch, though he gives the human some space.

Kalib rolls two twos and then hands the dice back to Nola. She just seems to realize that her friend's nose is bleeding when Sky asks where the bathroom is. Kalib is instantly on her feet and asking if she can do something to help Sky. She hesitates after she does so, knowing that Sky had been really shy before - still is if she's being honest with herself - and she doesn't want to make her uncomfortable. Kalib quietly backs off and heads to see Felicia to ask if she is open to help Sky.

Felicia gives him a reassuring smile and gets to work. Like normal and in many scenarios, her work is finished quick and done well thanks to the experience she has. She moves to Nazar and Naven when Kalib comes to ask if she could move on to Sky after. She smiles and promises she'll be right there.
With Mia's help, Jacob finishes the meal and he brings it out for the wolves there. He thanks Mia for her help, giving her a smile. Sure, he may not like the fact that they're there, but he can't complain at the moment. If the way to get the wolves out of his pack territory faster is to get them fed and healed, then he'd do what he can to speed up the process.

Jayden has met up with Mark already and they've had some casual talk before Mark decided to cut the chase and talk about the pressing matters. "Jayden, one thing I must warn you about is that some wolves in the pack are wary about you." Mark says, his gaze drifting over the sky above, the trees around, and the water beneath them as he sits on the bank.
"I know." Jayden says quietly. Mark nods, though the fact that his friend knows brings a few questions to mind, ones he didn't voice at the moment.
"You brought strangers in our territory." Mark says, watching Jayden carefully. Jayden's expression stays as clear as the sky around them.
"I know." He says, kicking his feet childishly in the water as they sat by the bank of the river.
"This isn't going to sit well with the rest of the pack. Don't you know that your being a member in this pack is on the line?" Mark acts more aggressively as he tries to get his friend to rethink.
Jayden's expression darkens, "I know." His voice sound a bit more threatening now himself while his head tips forward, his legs stop swinging, and his hands form fists on the ground.
"Does this not matter to you? Are you fully aware of the consequences this can hold? Can you stop and think?" Mark snaps. He really doesn't want to lose his friend but he finds that if Jayden keeps making these decisions, he won't be able to protect him any more.
