"Be strong enough to stand alone

but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes"
Legend lifted her head to reply to the alpha. "I am well, how about you Aspen? I know it isn't always fun and games leading a pack, that's for certain." She sat up.

||Ruby||three and a half||female||mate: none - going into heat||offsrpring: none||


"The Devil saw me with my head down and got excited, until I looked up and said 'amen'"

Ruby nodded statically. "That would be great!" She started forward, "Or maybe we find a new secret place that no one knows about. That would be fun too!"

Zeus~1 1/2 years~Male~Searching for a mate~Hunter

Zeus wagged his tail a little bit, following after her. "like a tunnel or something, or a cave. and it can be our little secret" he told her. "or it can be for small dogs only"

||Ruby||three and a half||female||mate: none - going into heat||offsrpring: none||

"The Devil saw me with my head down and got excited, until I looked up and said 'amen'"Ruby laughed, "ya! that's the thing big dogs miss out on. Small tunnels us little dogs get to explore." She sniffed at the ground, now eager to find such a thing.

Felix/Lily/Jack – M/F/M – 5 years – Huskies – Hunters
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The husky's did - in fact - ignore her little jumpy episode, seemingly guessing that that was the cause. Also, it would've been strange if she wasn't jumpy in a territory that didn't belong to her. Although, Felix's ears perked the slightest at her faint giggle, the tip of his tail flickering behind him. Jack didn't notice, and Felix himself ignored it, or tried his best.

"I'm sorry to hear that, Emerald. Must've been rough." Felix spoke up, his voice surprisingly gentle, especially considering his size and temperament. "But now you're back... I must ask, are you planning to stay?" He asked, a bit too much hope in his voice than he'd like. The darker husky then realized the weird and thoughtful look Jack was shooting him. "For Aspen, of course! And the pack could always use a member of her skills." Felix tried to defend himself, his ears flickering backwards for a second because of how much of an excuse it sounded like.

But then again, wasn't it actually an excuse?

"Be strong enough to stand alone

but be wise enough to stand together when the time comes"

Legend nodded and with a teasing grin she added, "it's definitely good that you are not running a pack full of pups. Imagine how big of a mess that would be!" In her mind's eye she imagined the pups flopping around on their small useless legs, trying to hunt.

Athena~4 years~Female~Mate is M.I.A.~Expecting pups (so i guess she is a queen)

Athena nodded, excepting her comfort "me too... im sure he had good reasons tho" she told sugar.

Zeus~1 1/2 years~Male~Searching for a mate~Hunter

Zeus continued forward after ruby. "yes. i hope we find one. maybe if we find a rabbit and scar it, but don't kill it and just follow it back to it's den, that could work" he suggested

She nodded, "that sounds like a good idea." She thought for a moment, "yes, I think that could work!" Where should we look for one?"

Zeus~1 1/2 years~Male~Searching for a mate~Hunter

Zeus wagged his tail following after her. "they are usually found close to the river hiding in bushes" he said to her

Ruby followed excitedly. They probably should be hunting, but what's wrong with a little adventure from time to time? Plus, if things didn't work out they could simply catch a rabbit.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Felix nodded with relief hidden amongst the silvery color of his eyes, his gaze momentarily flickering over towards Sugar as she approached, noting the dumbfounded look and understanding why she had it, before looking back at Emerald. He made a quick, and probably rash, decision.

"Emerald, I would love to hear more stories of when you and Aspen were younger" He started off, mentally adding a 'not only because Aspen is the Alpha and it could be fun to have some stories about him when he wasnt' as he stood up, standing tall. "So would you like to follow me to the river, where we'd be able to get some water after the little hunt we had, as well as some privacy" and then the pack won't be able to find you as quickly and perhaps act aggressively and scare you off. He knew that not everyone would've liked the presence of a stranger in their territory, old pack member or not. Heading towards the river would give Aspen some time to inform everyone as well, if he so wished to.

Jack listened to Felix' first few words, but quickly realized he was no longer speaking to everything, but just to her. This made the brother smile, but he coughed to try and hide it. Instead Jack turned his attention to Sugar, noting the surprised look she had. It didn't surprise him that some would find it strange for a stranger to hang out here without an explanation. "Hello, Sugar. Had a busy day?"

Winter-age:4, mood: curious and on alert.

Winter was a run away stray from home. A home that was great to her, and one day set her outside and never let her back in. Winter from there on out started to tend for herself, and keep a great distance from bigger dogs. She knew how to survive alone now; has been living out in the wild for 2 and a half years. But today it might change, she was feeling rather adventurous, and decided it would be a "brilliant" idea to go out and see what else was beyond the small den she had been sharing with another mutt The other dog had gone out to hunt for herself. The two did not bond well, but learned to live together. So, if Winter was to never come back. I bet that other dog would be happy to finally have the den all to herself. Winter flared her nostrils into the air, and sensed a scent. A scent very strong, and as she continued to approach the territory, she found herself smelling all kinda of new sense. It cause the fellow dog to want to go see what these scents were about, so she started to slowly invite herself into this new territory. She had never known the rules about packs, or that it is was not the most brightest thing to do; is invite yourself in without permission. Again though, this was all new. And her genuine curiosity could be seen through like glass, she was smelling everything, and her eyes darted from place to place at the new surroundings. "Does anyone live here?", Winter asked herself, slightly confused. She could smell other dogs, but did not exactly know where they were. Winter looked around and then decided she would yell out a signal, see if anyone came to help the clueless newbie. She looked up into the sky, her throat stretching, and her jaw opening. She let out a loud, and deep howl, a long one too, and then stopped, waiting to see if someone might come. "Hopefully someone heard me.", Winter said to herself and sat down in the dirt.

Legend sighed, "me too. She's such a good dog and her pups would be so sad that they never got to know her if she doesn't." She cocked her head at his question, "sadly, I haven't' been out at night enough or near the lake when I do. Once when I was hunting I caught a gleam of it in the corner of my eye but was chasing a rabbit and didn't get a chance to actually look at it. By the time I caught the rabbit I had forgotten about it!"

||Ruby||three and a half||female||mate: none - going into heat||offsrpring: none||


"The Devil saw me with my head down and got excited, until I looked up and said 'amen'"

Ruby stopped, mid-step. "Zeus, is it just me that heard that?" She lifted her nose to sniff the air, "it's a dog that we don't know." She looked at him with a smile, "this could be an adventure." She shot forward toward the shiba inu and slowed down once she got near her so she wouldn't scare her. She was generally very shy around new dogs, but she was rather desperate for an adventure now that Zeus got her on that track. "Hello? Yes, there are other dogs here. We have a pack." She stepped forward, "what brings you here?"

Felix/Lily/Jack – M/F/M – 5 years – Huskies – Hunters
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jack stared after Emerald, lightly surprised by the sudden turn of events, but Felix had run after her before he could suggest it himself. Deeming Felix had control over the situation - and he didn't think his brother would mind extra time with the new dog, as she seemed to catch his interest like very few did - the remaining brother turned towards Sugar, listening to her words and nodding lightly at her observation.

"Trust me, I'm surprised he's awake as well. A summoning from the Alpha is apparently a very efficient way of getting him up, but why he hasn't gone to sleep again, I have no idea." Jack spoke, glancing away from the two huskies walking away, and looking at the Collie once more. "He's probably got it under control. Anyway, no injuries no, other than a small scrape I got as we hunted the stranger dog, who turned out to be Emerald. Nothing I haven't have handled though. Are you alright? You keep asking others if they have injuries, but do you have any? It doesn't seem like many ask you that."

"Emerald! Wait up!" Felix called out, trotting after her before stepping in front of her once they had gotten out of sight of the others. He blocked her path and lifted her head with his muzzle, his silvery gaze flickering from one green orb to the other, ears tipping backwards ever so slightly at the guilt in them. "So, I'm not gonna ask what happened, because it seems like something you'd rather not talk about. You can talk to me about it if you wish, but for now, I just want to hear if you'd still be interested in that trip down to the river?" The larger, black/white pelted husky assumed that dismissing the earlier scene would be best, and also act as a sign that he had already forgiven her for snapping. Hell, he often snapped at the other dogs, also his siblings, if he had had a particularly late night, or had had a period where he hadn't slept for more than 48 hours, which had happened a few times. So he understood, and offered her a warm smile as he patiently awaited a reply from her, desperately hoping for the guilt to fade away and her eyes ignite with energy once more. He wasn't quite sure why he wanted that so bad, but didn't think too much about it.

"Be strong enough to stand alone

Legend nodded, "sure thing." She stood, "lead the way." She scented the air but did not smell anything yet. Then she added with a grin, "and I may have to take up that invitation some night soon."
