Sheesh, walking through this place is insane! Every step had to be carefully place or poof, you were face first in the ground with a mouthful of dirt. Well... still, the scent marks were obvious, there was a pack here, and, that just happened to be what Fenrir was looking for. So what if it took some careful footing, the end result was a nice one. How did this place grow over so thickly though? It really was odd, but in a cool, fascinating kinda way odd. This must have took years for the brush and roots to grow out like this... amazing stuff. Stopping for a second he sat, taking a break as he looked around. This place sure was intriguing... so dense and mysterious like. It really would be cool to be able to have the chance to look around here more... that is, it would be possible if the pack wanted to have him around, luck willing. "Err... back on track now..." he said silently to himself, getting up and looking around before continuing through the forest.

It didn't take much longer to finally find a large clearing, a smile of victory making it's way across his muzzle as he looked around. Hah, and out of the maze, and into the clearing... a small victory in itself, one that lead it's way to the more important quest at hand, getting into this pack that resided here. Err, now, to just find one of said wolves to actually talk to about getting into this little group here. He was confident he would be accepted, everyone needed a healer right? Even a male one at that, not many packs could boast they had a male for their healer... not that they would though, heh.

She'd managed to get away from him again. She knew that he'd be very angry with her once he caught up, but her smaller form made it easier for her to squeeze through the tight places in the forest than his larger form did. She was often running off from her brother, Apollo, and today was no different. One of these days she was sure he'd rope her and force her to stay by his side, he was so protective of her. But right now, she had managed to get away. She'd head back eventually, because, after all, she loved her brother. But for now, it was fun to be on her own and wandering around.

But then she stumbled (quite literally) upon Khalessi's scent marking. It was familiar, yes, and she remembered the large white female wolf whom she had met so long ago. She came to a stop, sitting down and examining the border ahead of her. That is, until she spotted a cricket. Yeah, she was easily distracted, and she pounced after it, growling and wagging her tail as she made her way along the border, still careful not to enter into Khalessi's territory without permission. She was childish and immature, yes, but not stupid.

His ears flicked softly as he sat there, looking around his, his eyes darting to and fro every second, studying everything while he waited for any sign of someone else, someone from the pack. Well, it wasn't that long before he heard something, or rather, someone, his ears flicking as they turned in the direction of the noise, and soon his eyes. Someone was here, and at the thought he got up, sniffing and walking towards the sound, soon coming up on the small female, watching her chase after something while sitting back silently. She was young, and, quite peculiar. So small, a pup in a sense, but, that was only a thought because she seemed so intent on chasing whatever she was, which was childish behavior.

"Hello there miss." He called out, tilting his head partially as he looked over at her, sitting with his tail curled around his legs. Perhaps she was a pack member here? Obviously not one of the higher rankings of course, well, it would be surprising if she was to say the least, but, she'd know where to take him if she was.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:03 am

The sound of a stranger's voice behind her made her jump, and she spun around, her eyes falling on a male red wolf. She abandoned her chase, staring at him for a moment as her head lowered and her tail curled up between her legs. This was why she should have stuck with Apollo. She was obviously frightened, but this male didn't seem aggressive, and he didn't seem dangerous either. But she couldn't take the chance that he'd attack, so she kept her distance, backing up slightly and watching him cautiously.

"Hello."

She said softly, her voice shaky and fearful as she looked around hopefully for her brother. But as she lifted her nose to smell the air, there was no sign of Apollo's scent. Crap. She was all alone and cornered by a stranger who could attack her at any moment. She never thought about these things when she wandered off, but she always managed to get caught in bad situations whenever she did.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:15 am

She backed up, obvious sign's of her being scared were showing, young and alone that made sense, and he was simply a stranger to her, for all she knew he could be some phsyco killer, but he wasn't, but she didn't know that. He smiled softly, staying where she was, not advancing on her at all. In fact he tried his best to stay calm, and rather docile right now. He didn't want her panicking and running off, that wouldn't be good. "I assure you you don't have to be afraid. I'm simply looking for the pack that resides here, and was wondering if you by chance knew them, or are a member of that said pack?" He asked calmly, his head still tilted, ears erect as he waited for an answer.

Now that he thought about it though, if she was part of this pack, surely they wouldn't let such a young thing run off alone, unless she escaped herself... pup's tended to have mischievous behavior like that... hmm... still, then one might think that they'd be looking for her now, and by the smells in the wind he couldn't sense no such search party. Err, chances of her being in the pack were growing slim...

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:22 am

There wasn't any way for her to protect herself here, and well, she was backed up against tree as he spoke again, telling her she didn't need to be afraid. Well, he hadn't proved that yet, so she didn't believe him. Her ears flicked backwards as she studied him cautiously, flicking one ear forward as he asked about the pack.

"I know the alpha, but I haven't seen her for a very long time. Not since before she was alpha."

She said, not even knowing if that made sense. She watched him then, wondering what his reaction would be to her words, unsure of whether he would believe her or not. But that wasn't really her problem, no, her problem was not getting herself into any more trouble. And well, that didn't look like it was going to happen. She swallowed nervously, her ears flattened to the side as she looked over at the other wolf. He was different from her, hell, everyone around here was different. Other than Apollo of course. They were Maned wolves, and they looked a LOT different than all the gray, Arctic, and red wolves in the area. She was sure that no one would accept them as part of a pack, but that didn't stop her from hoping. After all, if they were going to have even the slightest hope of a pack, it would be with Khalessi.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:35 am

He listened carefully as she spoke, still smiling, sighing softly. Yup, she wasn't in the pack... great, well, alright, then more waiting. Though, now, now he was curious as to what she was doing out here, surely she couldn't just be alone, could she? It didn't seem quite possible, she seemed to care-free, to innocent, not affected by what happened to young ones that go out into the world as a loner. No, she was still to innocent, there had to be someone else with her.

"Well... alrighty then, that's too bad... was hoping to be able to talk to the leader. What about you then? Why are you out here alone?" He asked, smiling. Alright, so, it was unnecessary prying, but, he was genuinely curious, and he couldn't resist. Though, even further, the alpha here was female? That was odd, usually the alpha was a male... hmm... intriguing.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:44 am

He seemed disappointed that she wasn't in the pack. Was that why he was here? To join Khalessi's pack? She tilted her head curiously, a bit more relaxed around him now, but still cautious. Then he asked why she was out here alone. She frowned, looking down at her paws almost shamefully.

"I'm not alone. Well, I wasn't. I sort of ran off. He'll probably catch up soon. And he'll be pissed."

She said, looking up at him and shrugging. She'd gotten used to her brother's anger, especially since she ran off so often. He'd never hurt her before, and she knew he wouldn't now. The worst she'd get was him yelling at her again. But honestly, all she heard now was 'blah blah blah'. Sooner or later he'd give up on lecturing her. Hopefully.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:52 am

He couldn't help but laugh softly at her answer, that made more sense, she was with someone and ran off. Who though, male obviously by how she referred to him, and they had to be close. Protective over her it seemed, family maybe? Father or brother most likely. "Hmm... I see, so you two are loner's as well? And you've met the alpha, err, excuse me, alphess of this pack before. Plus, now your near her territory, escaping your protective other even though you know he's going to be mad. Heh, makes sense, you feel safe around this place, no doubt the alphess was nice to you when you met her, which is why you feel safe here. Are you by chance looking to join this pack here as well then?" Yah, he rambled a bit there, and most of it was more of himself rambling to himself to go over everything again, but still rambling. Relaxing a bit now though he stretched out and laid down, sighing softly as he again started to look around.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 4:59 am

She sat there curiously as he spoke, not exactly sure what to say to him. Sure, she wanted to be in Khalessi's pack, but she wasn't sure that Apollo had the same idea. She was sure that he'd want to stay loners, that he'd never believe that a pack would accept them. She frowned, tilting her head as the male laid down in front of her. Well, there was no reason to fear him, obviously, but she had a feeling that if Apollo showed up, he wouldn't be very happy to see another male here with her.

"I want to join the pack, but I'm not sure Apollo will think the same. I'm Aries, by the way."

She said softly, relaxing a bit now as she looked over at the male, who - thankfully - was still keeping his distance. She let her eyes wander away from him for a few moments, scanning over the trees around them in search of any sign of her brother. Surely he hadn't been THAT far behind her. He should be showing up any minute, right? She wasn't sure, but she did want to know if he would join Khalessi's pack or not. She wouldn't go anywhere without him, but she did want to be in a pack.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:11 am

Aries, Aries and Apollo... heh, cute, names that sounded alike... must be siblings. He rolled over on his side now, staring at her curiously. Siblings that rivaled at many things, but still cared for each other. That was normal to see anyway, sibling rivalry, and by the way things sounded this Apollo must be the more mature, more concerned one. "Oh, you shouldn't worry about that, I'm sure he cares about you enough to do what you want, especially if it's joining a pack. Besides, why worry about being different, it's always fun being the odd one in the group right?!" he said, laughing softly. It was sorta true, being odd made things interesting, and come on, being small like she was must be fun, easier to hide away at least. Again he found himself laughing.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:17 am

Aries frowned as he laughed, her ears flicking backwards as he spoke, making her frown and shake her head. She hated being different. They never fit in anywhere, they never really belonged. But she couldn't change what she was, much less how others looked at her. Sure, she was small, even for a maned wolf, but she'd managed to use that to her advantage.

"I don't like being different."

She said softly, looking down at her paws for a moment before looking back over at him. He seemed so amused by all of this, what could he be thinking? Was he making fun of her? She couldn't really tell if he was or not. But it didn't matter, his opinion didn't really matter. She was different, there was nothing she could do to change that. She sighed softly, glancing back at the border behind her. Would anyone from the pack show up? Did her and her brother even stand a chance at acceptance?

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:26 am

Looking back at her and listening to her his expression went to a grin, sighing a bit. Didn't like being different? She was so negative about it. Sighing against he rolled back over and sat up, staring at her, "I'm sorry... but, come on. Why would you want to fit in completely. Fitting in means just blending into the background, getting overlooked and just being another normal thing. Being abnormal, being different, it gives you a better perspective of life, it makes you see things differently. It's not all bad, and it doesn't have to be really, come on, see the bright side, not everything has to be so gloomy!" Smiling and standing up now, he turned, sighing. this was taking to long...

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Mon Oct 01, 2012 5:32 am

Her ears perked up curiously and her head tilted slightly as he spoke, listening but not speaking as she sat there, watching him. She wasn't sure about his optimistic outlook, but she didn't say anything else on the matter. She'd never been font of arguing, so what was the point in doing so now? Instead she found herself laying down slowly, obviously bored out of her mind, pawing absently at a nearby flower stalk as she rolled onto her side.

Part of her wished Apollo would show up and yell at her just for some sort of entertainment. There wasn't anything to do right now, and she had half a mind to get up and find something else to chase. But running any further away from Apollo would probably be a bad idea, so she decided to stay put, at least until he caught up, that is.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:36 am

Again, she just had to run off again? How many times was this now?! It seemed he couldn't even turn away for a second without her taking off like this... ughh... Well, in any case he really only could do one thing, find her and again try and keep an eye on her, heck, she wouldn't ever listen... no matter how many times he told her not to she did. He sighed a bit as he walked, following her scent as he searched. Luckily it wasn't long before he did find her, though he was a bit surprised to find another wolf there, worried and surprised. He could never really trust other's, he just didn't, so, naturally he was suspicious. "There you are..." he said, letting out a breath, but the irritation in his voice was still clear.

Fen knew to stay quiet as she went silent, sighing again softly before staring up at the sky, where were the pack wolves around here? One would think that after this long one would encounter one, but still nothing. Around then was when the other small male showed up, Fenrir's head turning and looking over, ahhh, must be that sibling of Aries, he looked just like her, and seemed mad, most likely about her running off. Smiling again he yawned, looking over at the two silently for now.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 1:57 am

Arie's head lowered and her ears pinned to her head as Apollo arrived and scowled at her. Of course he was mad, and she shrugged, looking up at him innocently as he spoke. "Here I am." She said softly, smiling up at him and tilting her head slightly. No, she didn't feel bad about running off, nor would she ever probably. She sat there, though, looking between her brother and the male wolf in front of her.

Finally she got bored of the silence and got to her feet, a lot more relaxed now that Apollo was here. If this male decided to try and harm her, Apollo would protect her, no matter what. So why worry? She now found herself wandering along the border, but keeping close to her brother, sniffing at the scent markers and looking into the forest in front of them. What else was there to do? But then she spotted a squirrel, and gave chase, not realizing that she was headed straight for Fen until she ran right into him and fell over.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:40 am

He couldn't help but grin as she acted so innocent, shaking his head as he came up beside her. What was the point anymore... all he could do was just try and watch her, scolding her helped non, she simply ignored it and did it again... hurr. Skipping the already said useless scolding, he turned his attention to the other wolf. He seemed silent, who was he, and why was he here? "And who are you?" might as well get straight to the point.

Still silent he watched the two before stretching out, sighing. This was going to be a long wait... and his ears perked as the male spoke, smiling a bit. "Fenrir, I came here looking for the leader of the pack that resides here. I came across your sister here once I got here. I assure you I'm no threat to you." he said, yawning again, but flinching as he suddenly felt something hit against him, looking over to find her by him, laughing a little. "You alright there Aries?" he said, chuckling a little.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 2:50 am

After the impact, she fell to the ground beside Fen and looked up at him, unable to disguise the squeak from hitting the ground and the male wolf. When he spoke, her ears flattened in embarrassment, and she smiled innocently. "I'm alright, sorry." She said, looking over as the squirrel scurried away to safety. With a soft sigh, she pushed herself to her feet and looked over at her brother, assuming that he wouldn't like her so close to a stranger, especially a male.

But in all honesty, she didn't really care. Instead, she only moved a few feet away, rolling over in the grass and laying on her back, looking up at the sky above them. There really wasn't much to say or do, and she laid there, swatting at a small moth that fluttered over her face.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:11 am

Apollo growled silently to himself, Aries was to carefree around this guy, they didn't know him... this was just like at the stream, she trusted people to freely. Sighing and shaking his head he grinned, watching her walk a few feet from the male. Why was she even out here? "Aries... what are you doing out here anyway?" he asked, turning to her and smirking.

He really was uptight wasn't he? Quite protective of her, a good thing really. Looking over at her as she laid down and stared up at the stars he smiled a bit. Her innocence and his mature strictness, an odd mix really. "She wants to join this pack as well, but she knows you don't want to." he said, interjecting a bit. "Right Aries? It's alright, you can say it." he said, smiling and turning to her.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:16 am

Aries ignored her brother as he questioned her, but as Fen spoke up, she lifted her head, looking sideways at him before rolling onto her stomach and looking over at her brother. "I...uh..." She said softly, looking betweenthe males and then focusing on Apollo. "Well, I want to be in a pack, Apollo." She said softly, looking back at the stranger before swallowing and looking back at Apollo.

She knew that her brother didn't trust other wolves, but she hated it just being the two of them. She wanted to be around others, to be in a pack again. But she doubted Apollo would ever go for that, he'd rather it just be the two of them. She frowned, watching her brother nervously and waiting for his response to the words that had been spoken.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:29 am

Staring blankly between the two, Apollo remained speechless, wanted to join a pack? Hadn't they already gone through this? They weren't no pack wolves, the escaped from some enclosure! How would they fit in with a pack at all?! Huffing under his breath he looked down, thinking. She would just keep doing this though, running off... a pack could keep her safe better then just him alone... but, could they really trust the wolves around here? "... Fine Aries, we can try... but if anything, and I mean anything starts to go bad we're leaving, got it? No argument at all either." he said, staring at her. This all sounded like a dumb idea to him, but, he knew that she wouldn't leave it alone... so might as well play along with it just to make her happy.

Fen smiled as she spoke up, and afterwards he gave in. Good, then, that was done. The small siblings were at agreement sorta, and sorta was good enough for now. So he again went back to being silent, mimicking Aries and rolling on his back now, staring up at the sky, waiting now, waiting for someone from the pack to come.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:36 am

She didn't expect what happened next, Apollo actually gave in and agreed with her! She watched him, her eyes wide in surprise and her head tilted slightly to the side. He didn't just give in like this, and it confused her, but hey, she wasn't going to argue with him about this one. So she kept quiet, looking over at Fen as he rolled over onto his back as she had done earlier. But of course, she got distracted by a cricket and began to chase it around the clearing, pouncing on the grass and not paying any attention to anything around her - as always.

This time, however, she ran into Apollo, falling to the ground beside him with a soft "umph" and then rolled over onto her back next to him, swatting at him with her paws playfully out of boredom. She wanted entertainment, and this was all she could do in order to prevent herself from wandering off into the pack lands. Even she wasn't that stupid.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 09, 2012 3:51 am

Growling under his breath he stared at the ground. This wasn't going to end well... it just wasn't, it couldn't... they didn't fit in at all... how on earth would they work out in a pack? It wouldn't work... it wouldn't. That's all he kept thinking, at least until he felt something hit up against his side, hearing her 'umph' as she hit the ground, looking over at her. He smiled weakly as she swatted at him. Alright... so he did sorta hope it would work out... it would be better for them... he just didn't think it would.

Khalessi emerged from the trees seeming to almost appear out of thin air as she approached the group lazing about in a clearing. Not that she actually had, the alphess was just so in tune with her territory she seemed to travel almost effortlessly along. Being one with her settings was a special type of blending in itself and allowed her to go from one spot to the next with ease, which gave the illusion of some sort of teleporting.

There was a light and airy aura about her as she neared, which had everything to do with the fact that she was about to confront something familiar and nonthreatening in her eyes. It was the scent that had led her here; one that brought back a memory at the southern rapids and meeting some new acquaintances for the first time. “Hello Aries” Khalessi greeted warmly, staring at the very female who had almost pounced into the rapids and to her death. Had it not been for another female Khalessi was sure Aries would not be gracing her with her presence today. “Apollo” she nodded to the sibling and stopped just a few feet away from the others. These guys were familiar and she was taking the time to enjoy that fact, especially since there were a few new faces deciding to hang around with Krajina. “I didn’t think you guys would still be wandering about Silverlight” she stated curiously, but made it obvious that it was a nice surprise.

Finally her gaze swept over a second male and Khalessi tilted her head curiously. He looked as if he had been losing patience and become extremely bored with waiting. She wondered if this was a friend of theirs. “Sorry I took so long, I’m usually used to others announcing their presence” she mused playfully to herself while addressing the whole group.

After a moment her ears perked as she waited a response; her expression clearly wondering why they were here and if they needed anything.

Subject: Re: Whats this now? (Acceptance Thread) Tue Oct 16, 2012 2:32 am

Aries brightened up and perked her ears immediately as the white form of Khalessi suddenly appeared, as if she had been there the whole time. She smiled as she was greeted by name, her tail wagging as she sat up, though carefully retained a submissive posture. "We're looking for a pack, Khalessi." She said softly, wagging her tail and glancing over at her brother. The two of them had failed to find a home since they set out, and now here was the chance for one, and she definitely wasn't going to give it up. She was happy and excited, but she did her best to contain her joy as she sat there, her tail wagging and her body barely keeping from wiggling.
