Valentine's Meeting

[Gina]

ooc:Kerls are allowed, as well as pack members!

Glade smiled sheepishly at his sister and her cubs. Citali was already waiting for the others, and some that might not have been known, to come. He knew that the whole point of this was to create Pack-Kerl ties, she didn't care about the possible romances that could go on.

Citali knew what her brother was thinking. Nearly everyone knew that he had a rather large crush on Aoi, and this meeting was making him feel very uncomfortable. However, there was a small liking to her twin's uneasiness burning in her.

Loka and Ketlam sat at their mother's side, one on the right, the other on the left. Loka looked very annoyed, she didn't like not knowing what went on in her uncle's head. Ketlam, on the other hand, was very confused. Why did his sister look mad? Why did his uncle look uneasy? Why were they here, in the middle of the forest, as though waiting for something? What the heck was Valentine's, as his mother had called it?

Ketlam had grown, just like his sister. They were about the same height, Ketlam a little larger due to genetics and gender. His deep brown eyes were full of light and joy, even though he was very confused.

ooc:There ya go!

[Raven]

ooc- Woo! I feel so happy, now I gotta turn on the Beast and the Harlot. n.n

ic- The white drappa had come around, at this point, yawning. A Valentine's meeting? Hm. Wasn't Valentine's for those stupid two-legged men? Oh well, it was a great chance for Kerls to get on Citali's good side, which was always a good thing, with Citali. Besides, if you weren't on her good side...Well, Aoi didn't quite wish to think about that at the moment. It would ruin the 'happy atmosphere.'

But when she arrived, that was exactly the opposite. Stifiling a large yawn, she gazed from Glade, to Citali, then the pups. The air wasn't happy at all, but more uneasy, confused, and angry. The white she-wolf couldn't help but blink in stupidity. "Did I miss something? Or is everything supposed to be strange and uneasy?" She said in her usual happy tone, a small smile spreading across her black lips. Perhaps she could make things better? Who knew?

Definately not her. "Oh Loka, you look like your mother," Aoi smiled, and looked to Ketlam. "Oh, and you're getting to be quite the Dragga, aren't you?" She smiled at them, taking a seat beside Glade. Ketlam seemed to be the only joyous one at the moment, so perhaps conversation would ease everybody. Yeah. That's just what they needed on this strange day that humans enjoyed celebrating.

[Gina]

Loka sat up taller than usual, nodding stiffly and straight-faced. "Why, thank you." She obviously wouldn't let that get to her, she liked being like her firery mother, it was her hobby. Ketlam grinned widely, but didn't say anything, too shy.

Glade smiled a little, his tail wagging like a man-animal's. "Hello, Aoi."

ooc:Glade can act soooo stupid around girls...xD

[Gina]

ooc:Got to go, maybe I can get back on later...Hmm..I think I'll continue this untill tomorrow, maybe further, since I started it late...

[Raven]

ooc- xD! Like my one friend xD

ic- "Hello Glade," Aoi smiled widely, then looked over to Citali. "Hello to you too, Citali." Aoi-Tsuki continued to smile, looking down to Ketlam and Loka. It was cute, in a way, how Loka was like her mother, and Ketlam was getting large, that was for sure. A fine Dragga and Drappa, yes yes. Like their parents, no doubt.

Aoi carefully wrapped her fluffy white tail around her paws, as if it were cold, and she were attempting to warm her paws. However, it was to prevent herself from swaying it back and forth in joy, for she had a rather large crush on Glade, as well. Her gold eyes gazed over the pups, admiring how well they were growling. "Say, where's Tempestas?" Aoi asked curiously, directing her gaze toward Citali, yet not exactly toward her, out of respect.

Despite herself, she kept sending Glade side-looks, enjoying the fact they were here. "So, anyways, why are we celebrating one of Man's holidays? Not that I'm complaining, just curious."

[Raven]

ooc- Mmkay

[{Bio Hazard}]

ooc:-grumbles- Fine, I'm joining, but my wolves are all strange, keep your distance from them ;;

bic: It was strange how the blood siblings hated eachother, always longing to grab the flesh of eachother's necks, and long for the satisfaction of injuring them...fataly if possible...

But it was even more strange how the three where traveling together, huddled even, under the leadership of their oldest cousin...Zihark.

Bayne was the first to detest, seeing she was in the ceter of the two, her ears flared back, and an obvious snarl arcoss her maw, "I don't understand why we had to find you two, couldn't you have kept hidden? Or better, Not follow?"

Valence walked with his head high, proud, and powerful as always, but with a slight limp from the bleeding right forepaw..."Pah, I don't follow anyone, I'm coming only because that pychotic varg over there is in control, ever since he's been caught by that dreaded disease, he's more insane than a human's dog...can't control him at all...and do trust me, I seriously don't enjoy your presence either...so shut it before I'm forced to silence you."

Eclipse's image was morphed, his fur seemed to be falling off from random areas, his ears seldom could stand straight, his gait was rather...drunken...and his tounge hung from the side of his mouth...his eyes slightly bloodshot...but why? it was not know, possibly the consumption of a type of human poison...thing was, his life was looking as though it would end soon, rather soon actually...

Valence and Bayne silenced when he started making a painful moaning...and sighed...Why so much hatred? They did care...and every time the thought of loosing Eclipse came by, it would affect the two...strangely...so they continued on quietly...

Zihark looked up in the sky, troubled..."I don't understand where she is...we've been looking since dawn, and I haven't caught a glimpse of her golden plumage...Sol, where are you?"

The walk continued on a while longer, but it haulted after a while...Eclipse this time...his head to the air..."Varg...Varg...." Bayne looked around, "Hrm, Zihark, there do seem to be varg nearby...mind if we...erm...turn back?"

Valence sighed, "No one's going to do anything, if you keep quiet, possibly we can go unnoticed...pah, but you and keep silent? As if..."

Bayne snarled, but was stopped by Zihark..."true, keep quiet, and we kerl will go off unnoticed, I don't want to meet anyone else either, I've only got Sol on my mind..."

ooc: Erm yes, so they're not aware of the meeting, rather Sol deary is lost ^_^;;

[Gina]

ooc:Haha, knew you would! Poor Eclipse, I've always liked him the best...

ic:Citali didn't smile back, but kept her maw expression very straight. "I don't know, Aoi, something just felt right about it. Many of the Lera act more in the romantic way during the days around this date, I guess I figured it was the will of Tor and Fenris that something happen." The Drappa shrugged, followed by an imitation shrug from her daughter. Ketlam laughed a little, but it was hardly audible.

Loka looked up, hearing and scenting others. Ketlam got up, and began to walk out towards the forest, where he too had heard and scented the Kerls. Citali and Glade stayed where they were, the cubs were old enough to know that, if help was really needed, they could always call the others.

Ketlam, oddly, led the way towards the others, as though sure about something. He had met one of these before, and recognized his scent immediantly. However, this time, the Kerl smelled different...Sickly.

Loka sighed as she followed her brother. They then came upon the four Kerls, the black, grey and mixed Draggas and the white Drappa. Loka was very surprised at her brother's words, for she had never met any of these Varg before as he had.

"Is that you, Eclipse?"

It was absolutely amazing that he could even remember this Kerl, he had only been a few months old, not even old enough to be living in the rendezvous site, but he had traveled with his mother anyway. Loka cocked her head, ears twitching delicately in the winter wind.

"Eclipse? Ketlam, who's Eclipse? Do you know these Varg?"

Ketlam smiled reassuringly at his sister, but the blonde Drappa still did not come foreward. The Dragga, however, was smiling up at Eclipse, and was up close to all four of the Kerls.

Ketlam had, like his sister, changed and grown over the last year. He was taller, lankier, not as lanky as his sister, but certainly lanky and not very muscular looking at all. He was large, yes, but it was all in height, not in weight and power. His bushy tail swayed from side to side calmly, he was certainly not as clueless and shy as he had been months before in his early cubhood.

Turning to each of the other three Varg around eclipse, the Dragga asked, "What's wrong with him?" He had a certain stench around him that was not normal, and he looked ill to top it off.

[{Bio Hazard}]

Valence was the first to react, strangely, he was rather...polite around cubs, not for the sake of the cub of course, for his own safety against the parents...

Eclipse turned his head, certainly an opbvious drunken look over him...he snarled...he had lost speech a few weeks back...

"Bayne! Grab him!"

Bayne had already lunged at the sickly wolf, pinning him to the ground...Eclipse struggled slightly, silently, but he did put up a fight, until he stopped...

Valence sighed, and made his way to Bayne's side, only giving those cold-hearted glances he was famous for to the pup...

Seemed that Zihark was the only one left to answer...

"Don't worry young one...he won't harm you...but I do request you tell me how you know him...as for what happened....I truly don't know...sad it would happen around this time too..."

[Gina]

Ketlam didn't understand. Only seconds ago, had he been beside the four Kerls, smiling up at Eclipse. Now he was beside, almost behind, a snarling Loka, gaping at Eclipse.

"But...But...What happened to him? What did you do?"

Ketlam didn't mean to sound accusing, but Eclipse was the first wolf outside the pack he had ever met, it was like a friend that had disappeared for ages and finally came back..Only like this...

[{Bio Hazard}]

Zihark sighed...this was a cub, what was he to say? They where in three problems now, Eclipse, Sol, and this cub....how much more worse could things get? Truly...a cursed day...

Zihark started...."I....I...."

"He's sick...." was the answer, in an oddly kind, sorrow filled voice....Valence's the last wolf on earth expected to talk in that certain tone...

He turned..."But he'll be fine, trust me...he'll....be fine...He's just...not well..."

Zihark nodded, and turned back to the siblings...."Seeing that there are cubs here, by all do respect, the parents are nearby to, I suggest we leave....we can conceal ourselves nearby, and leave when he awakens...alright? Sol will come by soon...I hope"

[MoonRazor]

Kett did not like to be known as the 'sneaky' type, but the sly black Dragga that was his brother did not seem to mind the label. Nor did he seem to mind stepping in. So as Kett, holding Kylie back in his grasp, watched the four Kerls and Ketlam from the bushes, Kesh padded forward slowly, with the faintest hint of evil seeming to swirl about him, his voice dripping with sarcasm and hardly concealed disdain.

'Well, well. What have we here?' He spoke each word slowly, pronounced to its full. He did not seem aware of Citali, Glade, and Aoi nearby. Only the four Kerls and the two lanky pups. 'Perhaps you four would like to... stay, for the meeting? Or, oh, perhaps when you are four, in healthy conditions?' He spoke almost tauntingly, a sinister roll to his words as he padded in a circle around the four Kerls, his eyes travelling quietly from one new face to the next, marking all four down.

Kylie lifted a paw in the bushes, as if to step out. Kett tightened his hold on his scruff urgently. He didn't appreciate what his brother was doing, but he feared that a sudden burst from the bushes could set four Kerls off. He didn't know. He had little experience with 'other Kerls' almost being one himself.

[{Bio Hazard}]

Bayne had turned, more Varg, what joy...but unlike her normal behaviour, she just turned back, and nudged Eclispe....indeed, they would need to depart soon...

Valence wasn't ready to hold back his temper, he gave low growl, how he detested any type of sarcasm towards himself....but he was cut off by Zihark

"Peace, Valence, Peace, stand down, we don't need more trouble, understood?"

The pure black Valence gave one last glance, but obeyed, and was silent after that...

Zihark turned to the new comers, at least, new to them...."Forgive us if our presence is displeasing to you, we're just looking for...someone...and plus, we kerls have no business with Pack meetings, if one is nearby, we're leaving as soon as possible...simply said, alright?"

[Gina]

Ketlam suddenly piped up, louder than he had ever spoken in all his life, "But Mother said Kerls were allowed too!" Loka snarled angrily at her brother, and, surprisingly, he snarled back, almost biting her nose. He obviously didn't want them to go, then again, Ketlam was always considered the "wimp" or the "softy" of the litter, next to Kaeric.

Loka sighed, padding closer, not too close, but closer to the Kerls, Kett and Kylie. She nodded her greetings to the Breaches of StarWinder, much as a Varg much older than herself would have done. Turning to Bayne, Valence, Zihark and the sickly Eclipse, her sarcastic and cocky voice came in.

"Sick? He doesn't look sick to me, he looks dead." Ketlam snarled angrily, but did not jump at anything. He didn't want to cause any more trouble. "However..." Loka continued, softening up, seeing her brother's rage and taking pity on him, "Mother did say that Kerls were allowed." Pausing, she added, nodding towards the ill one, "He could come, Mother and Glade and Aoi know how to handle things. He couldn't hurt us, especially with you guys around..."

She didn't expect them to stay, she expected them to turn tail and run away with their sick brother. A rather cocky half-smile was played upon her maw, Ketlam still wanting to snarl, but he held himself back to a tiny bristle of the cinimon-and-gray fur on his back, ruff and tail. Loka sat down next to her brother, and grinned sarcastically. He looked more like her right now, only angrier, true anger, and it was almost comical to her.

[Blizzard]

"Loka, stop this at once. You are acting rude, and it is unbecoming of you."

Tempestas walked out of the trees, looked at Loka, asking, "What would your mother say?"

Gaiden looked to the forest, and saw Kylie, Kaeric seeing her also. They looked at their father for a moment before sliding off into the forest. Kaeric waited a moment before whispering, "Kylie? Mister Kett?" They came into view of Kylie and Kett, and a smile came to Kaeric. Gaiden stood beside his brother, a large grin on his face, and his eyes holding a patients which was strang for one so young. Giaden towered over his younger brother, but that did not bother him. Kaeric, on the other half, had grown more wild, and the feather seemed to fit him more so than it did at least a year ago, his frame filling out.

Tempestas held his flat gaze at Loka for a moment longer before turning to Zihark, Bayne, Valence and Eclipse, Saying with a slight bow of his head, "I apoligize for my daughters behavior, and in a manner she may of spoken in." He glanced over to the shrubb where Citali, Glade and Aoi were, thinking for a moment before asking, "Prehaps you would like to take the invitation Ketlam has provided. You all would be welcomed in our gather, and prehaps things will go better than they have so far." His gaze turned to Loka, but he said nothing, his gaze saying all that it needed to.
