Wolf RP 2

When the snow became too cold for Ipa, she stood and trudged to her den. She lay down in the corner and curled up so that her tail covered her face.

Shadow lifted himself onto his paws and nodded, "It could be fun watching you try to run through the deep snow." he chuckled and stepped outside. "How could I say 'no' to hunting in the snow. How would you like to go to the alpha, my dear. Shall we walk or fly?" he asked

Traxx nearly chocked on the pine branches as she over heard Harek say she was Nomeds' sister and lives in the same den as Zakira and Nomed. Speechless she dropped the pine branches and Hareks' paws and sat beside Nico.

Sol-Leks heard the Alpha's howl to hunt and smiled at Kavik. "Come, lets go hunt. You are old enough now to hunt with the pack." she said and loped off to where Odeta was.

(It's fine, Sammie, we get it. ^.^ We'll just pick up as we left off with our wolves. Harek made a little hollow of snow for Laredo to lay in to help staunch the bleeding, and has cobwebs to close the wounds. ^.^)
Harek looked up at Traxx and smiled her thanks at the she-wolf before lookiny at Laredo and sighing heavily.
"C'mon, come lay here," she scolded lightly. "The faster we can stop the bleeding, the better you'll feel. If I was going to kill you, I would have after Zakira cut you down. Or even when I came to find you. But no, I came to help. So let me help you."

Odeta's sharp, pumpkin colored eyes flicked as a unknown male appeared, who introduced himself as Tanek. "Nice to meet you Tanek. I am the current alpha here, and as long as no trouble is produced from you, you are allowed to stay as long as you please." A small smile flicked across her face. Her eyes then flicked to Sol Leks and her pup, Kavik. Odeta nodded to her and her pup in greeting, glancing at Barak in a scolding manner as if to say Introduce yourself, come on now.

Kali grinned but swatted him with her petite paw in a reprimanding manner. She shook her head and with a strong glance said firmly. "My feet are staying where they belong. The ground." The she wolf continued forward, slightly slower then normal due to her unborn pups. She glanced back at Shadow and winked, before dashing off into the forest. It didn't take long to reach the small clearing where the alpha, and others stood. Here she hesitated, and waited for Shadow, her not trusting old self showing through for a moment.

(Yeah, Angel's there)

As Tanek nodded to the Alpha, she nodded her head too, but in more of a friendly greeting to the alpha. She hid her bad leg as much as she could.

Nico’s eyes widened till they were nearly bulging from his head. He stared at Harek. Beside him, Traxx made a kind of strangled sound, like she were choking, and dropped the pine branches she’d fetched for the white she-wolf. Nomed’s sister. Nico immediately re-examined her, looking this time for family resemblances.
“Well, see, they’re pretty reclusive,” he said. “We kind of try to leave them alone, you know, since we actually value our lives, so we don’t actually get a lot of gossip about them…say, you’re not bloodthirsty and insane like your brother and his mate, are you? You look pretty normal, but it’s kinda hard to tell…”

Zakira smiled then, appearing mollified. She leaned down to nuzzle the tiny pup who bore her coloring in reverse, coming between her and her father’s stern glare.
“My poor little girl,” she said, her grey eyes twinkling with laughter. “She’ll need someone to run to when her over-protective father, brother, and cousin intrude one too many times into her private life. That’s what mothers are for.”

Brigan smiled and nosed his mate fondly as she yawned. He laid down, then looked up at her, inviting her to lay beside him.
“Didn’t you get enough sleep, love?” he asked. “Come, now’s best while the girls are resting. Odeta can wait. She knows our pups are sick and I’m sure she understands. When Sawyer and Joshua are feeling better, we’ll take them out, and I’ll introduce you to our new alpha and Joshua will introduce Sawyer to Kavik.”

Freya eventually found a suitable place to set up an infirmary; a three-sided cave very near the main clearing. It was set in the side of a small rise in the land, too small to be called a hill, and lined with rock, though the floor was dirt. The elderly female gave a satisfied nod and left to begin gathering certain herbs to keep on hand. She was on her way back to her new den with her mouth full of alder bark and borage and burdock root, when she came across four wolves in the snow. Two were males and two were females. There was red in the snow around the white male, which drew Freya’s attention. She carefully set down the supplies she was carrying to her den and approached, wearing a look of concern.
“Oh, is he injured?”
She glanced around at the three wolves standing: the lanky tan male, the elegant white female, and the scarred and half-blind female. The tan male looked vaguely familiar and her eyes rested on him a moment, trying to place him. He was at the meeting, she recalled suddenly, the mate to the young she-wolf who’d seemed so opposed to the new alpha.

"Mm-hm," Zakira replied. Her lips twitched as she swiveled her head to look at her mate, one eyebrow raised in fond amusement. "As I recall it, you very much deserved that bite. I refuse to apologize. You were very forward."

Nico cocked his head, seeming to seriously consider her words.
“True, that,” he conceded. “No massacres. Alrighty then, you’re probably good.”
He lolled his tongue and thumped his tail, making a wet thwap, thwap sound every time it hit the snow. Nomed and Zakira’s past didn’t really bother, or interest, him. Whatever had made them that way, had made them that way, and the best thing for everyone else was just to stay out of their way. When the elderly grey she’ walked up to them, he sat up to glance at her curiously. Harek was already answering her question about Laredo, and Nico grinned at her reference to him calling Nomed and Zakira bloodthirsty and insane.

“Goodness,” Freya replied, calmly indulgent. From the white female’s tone of voice, and the look she shared with the tan male, she presumed the ‘bloodthirsty and insane’ wolf was some sort of inside joke and irrelevant to what she needed to know to treat the injured male, so she didn’t bother asking about it. But the white she’ also admitted to not knowing how to help, and that was Freya’s area of expertise.
“Yes, winter does complicate things,” she agreed, assessing the wound with an experienced eye. “Fortunately, this doesn’t look too terribly deep and I have some things with me that might help. Oh, good, and you have some cobwebs already.”
Freya went to the little pile she’d left on the ground, nosed through it, then picked out a few strips of bark and returned to the group. While chewing the bark in her teeth, she moved aside some of the cobwebs the white she’ had already started to apply, then spat the chewed bark directly on the wound.
“Alder bark,” she said, as she nosed the cobwebs back into place and finished pressing them to slow the bleeding. “It will help to prevent infection. The cobwebs are good to stop or slow bleeding, but they often increase the risk of infection, which is why you shouldn’t ever use them on minor cuts and scratches that will likely heal just fine without them.” The white male now neatly patched up, Freya stood back. “There. That should do him.” She cast a mildly disapproving frown on the young male. “Now, you be careful and don’t offend wolves who are liable to take chunks out of you anymore,” she scolded in a voice like a gentle mother hen.

Odeta nodded as more gathered. Her growling stomach urged her to get into action, and she did, once she heard no more howls. The amber colored alpha stood and greeted the small group. "Hello everyone, nice to meet you for those of you who are new. I called you all here today so we can hunt. And with that..." Odeta said, glancing at Barak, wondering if she had been nice enough in her greeting. "Lets go!" she barked excitedly. The she wolf trotted out of the clearing slowly, meaning to speed up once she knew everyone had gotten started and caught up.

Faolan's ear flicked wildly as the alpha addressed all. He stood and trotted after his alpha, at a respectful distance, his body wanting to go much faster. The short male tried to hide his troubles with going over the many thick snow banks.

Shadow watched Kali run off and stretched his wings, one at a time. He took off and landed right beside Kali, "Enjoy your run dear?" he asked and nuzzled her before waking towards the Alpha.

Traxx heard the hunting call too and flicked her ears. "It was nice meeting you, Harek. You too Laredo." she then giggled, "Hey Nico, I'll be back later. I'm going to go hunting." she said and loped off towards the Alpha. She got there and stopped, having not seen her mother in a long time. She came over to Sol-Leks and nudged her shoulder, like a puppy. "Mom, it is nice to see you." she said. Sol-Leks smiled, "You too Traxx." she said, "The brown pup over there is your brother. His name is Kavik." she said and pointed with her tail.
