The smile which had been planted 'pon her maw moments before, broadened warmly as she heard Achillies speak her name. She gave a small nod as if to reassure him that it was indeed her, and not an imposter or illusion. Chalky plume began to beat softly and hopefully against the cave floor.
"I'm...I'm sorry for leaving you like that," Lou said, looking at her paws, "it's just...I caught the scent of an old friend. Anarchy, big male, grey fur, scar 'cross his left eye, traveling companion of Taint's for awhile. I don't know if you've heard of him...well I followed his scent and found him down stream. He said he'd come to see how Taint and I were and what we'd been up to. I told him that Taint was now the Alphess with a family of herself and Anarchy was happy to hear it. I asked him if he wanted to come back with me to see everyone but he was shy and said he'd better get back to his new homelands. "So when he'd left, I went back to the river and found you'd gone as well. I felt bad for leaving you and so I tried to track you, but I lost your scent for a little while until I came here..."
She finished her story and looked back at Achillies, hoping he would accept her apology.

Keeper laughed at the two small pups and licked each in turn. Reaching back, he picked each whelp by the scruff and planted them in front of his paws.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solo yipped as he was lifted from the ground and planted in front of Keeper. He grinned broadly at Keeper and sat up straight. Chest out, head high, the small pup looked regal, like a small alpha himself. I am going to be alpha! The proud pup thought bravely.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the corner of his eye, Raif watched the wolves gather. He snorted a bit disgusted and sad. He was homesick already. Getting to his feet, the brute turned around and looked at the wolves that had gathered, trying to find a friend from the unfamilar faces.

Corwin looked on in wonder as a white wolf appeared and apologizing to Achilles. He was just about to ask the beta what to do when she appeared. Corwin was so amazed by the look of wonder and disbelif on his face that he didn't dare interrupt them. The Alpha Female had said her welcome, and he felt he wasn't needed anymore. He still felt rather self-conscious sitting there, by himself, trying hard not to eavesdrop on other conversations. He stood up and mumbled a laconic, "Good bye," to Achilles; then turned 'round to leave. As he walked softly towards the entrance, he noticed a dark wolf standing alone, seeming to be searching for something. Corwin's head tilted in surprise, as he had not even known the wolf was there. The scruffy wolf padded cautiously up to him and looked at him a moment before speaking.
"Hello, I'm new to the Misty Moors. Names Corwin." He mentally slapped himself for that line, it sounded so practiced. Oh well, too late now. Either he would respond or think he was crazy. He hoped it wasn't the latter.

Cotton grinned as her father lifted her easily by the scruff, instantly allowing herself to go limp. She allowed herself to be lowered slowly to the floor, landing in a heap of long limbs and large paws. "I'm so glad you're back, daddy!" She exclaimed happily. Glancing over at Solo, she noticed his proud appearance and instantly mimicked him, not wishing to be outdone before her newly re-united dad.
"One day, when I'm grown up, I want to be an alpha, just like mum. And Solo can be like you.... but we won't be in love, or be mates, 'cause that's just horrid. She wrinkled her nose up and swatted her brother playfully with her tail.
ooc: Hehe. Sorreh for copying Solo's thoughts with Cotton. They were just such cute ones! -huggles Solo-

Keeper chuckled at the two small "Mini Alphas" at his feet. Bending down, he washed the tops of their heads with his salmon-pink tongue.
"Yes, you both will be alphas one day. " Keeper growled proudly, his icy orbs filling with love. He turned and caught Taint's gaze and held it, his eyes soft and loving.
"Just like your wonderful mother and I." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solo broke his proud stance, yipped happily and attacked Cotton's tail as it grazed him.
ooc- Ack! Writers Block! Sorreh!

Even though Raif watched the scuffy wolf approach, he was still started and suprised by the wolf's frankness. For a minute, the black and brown brute just stood there, a bit confused on how to respond. Finally, with a shake of his head to clear his jaded thoughts the brute spoke.
"Hi, Corwin. M'names Raif." he replied a bit too gruffly.
He tilted his head inquisitivly. He's new too? Wow. Glad I'm not the only one. Raif thought.

Cotton grinned proudly, gazing up at her father, then suddenly yipped in surprise as her brother began to savage her offending tail. She growled playfully and threw herself at her onyx hued brother, gripping a single black aud in her jaws and gently tugging at it, a growl still trembling in her throat.
Taint returned Keeper's smile, her eyes meeting his. Her gaze was soft and loving as she looked into his icey blue pools, and her heart suddenly seemed to beat more quickly. Her smile grew. She had forgotten the effect Keeper seemed to have on her at certain moments in her life. Ones like these. She suddenly realised that she could never be happy without her mate, and she pressed her brown bulky against him, nuzzling his shoulder affectionately and breathing in his familiar scent.
After a moment, she lifted her head and sighed. Her gaze roamed to Cotton and Solo, and then up to the sky. Dawn was nearing, and the sky was already paling as the suns first tenrils of light probed the heavens. Taint gently prized Cotton from her brother, lifting her by the scruff and padding slowly inside the cave. "Time for bead, darling." She said, Cotton opened her mouth to complain, but Taint silenced her with a stern look and gave her a lick atop her crown. "Good night."
While the brown and silver whelp curled into a ball and shut her eyes, Taint padded back outside and smiled at Keeper. Then she turned to Solo. "Bed time for you, too, young man!" She exclaimed, then trotted over to Pearl. She would leave their sons to Keeper.
"Pearl, my dear. Time for bed, now." She said, and lifted the creamy pup from the ground. Turning, she began back into the cave again, where she layed Pearl beside her sister and then curled up around them, blinking drowsily.

Corwin had almost decided the wolf thought he was crazy when he answered, albeit gruffly. Raif...it sounded almost familiar to him. He thought maybe one of his siblings had been named something like that, but he couldn't remember. Ah, the forgetfulness of wolves. All the pups in his litter had been given rather odd names, but noble all the same. He remembered a brother named Rinaldo...He shook away the thought, they were the past. He was a member of the Misty Moors now. Corwin suddenly realized what an awkward position he was in, nothing to say next, just standing there. Thinking quickly, he said something that would hopefully start a conversation. "So Raif," he said causally, "you from around here?"
Jeeze am i embarrassing myself tonight!, he thought.He tired to smile a little, but the corners of his mouth just twitched a little. He couldn't blame himself though, he was still a little overwhelmed and excited about being in a pack again.

ooc: okay, now i understand bantam...lol
Bantam:
Bantam lay sleeping through all this excitement, as he had had a hard day playing. HIs bulging browns sides rose up and down steadily in sleep. He shifted slightly as the other pups were put beside him, and it woke him up. One of his deep blue eyes cracked open just a bit, and he thought he saw...
"DADDY!!," he yelled. Bantam was instantly awake, and full of energy. He jumped clumsily over his mothers tail, and ran over to see keeper. His eyes were shinning with joy, and he licked his father's paws repeatedly. Then he stopped, and stared at him for a moment, as if just to make sure it was really him.
ooc: i hope that was okay...

ooc- It was fine wolfcry! Good job!
Keeper watched as Taint picked up the female pups and tuck them into their beds for the night. A ping of proudness and love made his heart swell with love and devotion (ooc- eww! I hate this lovey crap, but oh well) for his wonderful mate, his better half. Keeper bowed down to Solo, about to follow her example when a plump ball of brown fur appeared under his nose. Keeper looked at the pup, his head tilted inquisitivly at his pup's unsure stare.
"Hey there Bantam!" Keeper said as his tongue grazed the pup's head.
Reaching down, Keeper picked up a disgruntled Solo, who was a bit mad at Cotton for he hadn't the chance to get revenge for his now-throbbing aud.
Keeper turned and headed into the dark cave, his senstive orbs adjusting to the dim light. Locating the other pups, he set Solo in the midst of them.
Feeling the warmth of the many bodies around him, Solo's anger was soon replaced by drowsiness. Growling slightly, he circled gently and plopped himself down on top of Cotton. That would do for now to quell the coal-hued pups anger.
Turning back to Bantam, Keeper picked up the pup and followed suit as he did with Solo. With a quick lick to each pup, Keeper circled and layed down, creating a sort of circle with Taint. He gently layed his head down and circled his tail around him, the pups in the circle between him and Taint.
It feels good to be home. The storm-pelted alpha thought as he closed his eyes.

Raif snorted a bit at Corwin's question, a bit disgruntled for the loss of his pack still tore at him.
No, I'm not from around here. I don't want to be here. I just want to live agian how it was, with Ash. He thought angrily, a small growl tearing at his throat. Slowly, Raif closed his eyes and let the grief wash over him.
She, they are not coming back. Being a black hearted brute isn't going to bring them back either. Nor is it going to get you any friends.
With a bit of a snap at a fly circling his head, Raif cleared his thoughts to answer Corwin's question.
"No, I'm not. I'm from the Blackhail pack, but I left." Raif responded, but immediantly winced within.
Please don't ask why I left.... The brute silently begged Corwin, keeping eye contact with him as if to push the thought into the scruffy wolf's head.

Corwin: He drew his head back slightly as he heard a growl from Raif. So he had also left his pack. Corwin wondered silently if it had not been a voluntary leave. That would be horrible if they drove him out, although he didn't seem the type to do anything bad enough for that. However, he had learned never to judge a wolf on appearances. But he seemed he had touched a nerve, and he did not pursue the matter further.
" Ah, I see," he said. He didn't know what to say tot he wolf next. Corwin really didn't want to scare him away, and it seemed that if he tried to talk about his own background it would remind him of his past...and whatever it was that caused him so much pain. Instead, he looked down at his paws in all their tanness. He noticed that he had mud on his paws still, probably from around that lake. Corwin felt Raif's eyes on him, and pretended his paws were the most interesting thing he had seen since he had seen those eagles dance in midair. He wondered if he should leave.
Bantam: The pup struggled a little as his father picked him up by the scruff of the neck, but soon went immobile so it wouldn't hurt. He loved the scent of him, so close and comforting. Daddy's back, he thought tiredly. He very much hoped he would never go away again. Although, he would be strong like his papa and not fall asleep. He would stay up all night and talk, and play, and-and-and...Bantam yawned a giant yawn, interrupting his thoughts. He settled down quickly as Keeper set him down. The pup smacked his lips a couple of times, getting ready for bed, and closed his eyes. With his eyes still closed he whispered a " I love you papa," and fell asleep; The picture of innocence and calm.

ooc: I agree, Keeper... but, oh well. The puppies are soooo cute though! I love Solo and Cotton! They're so funneh! -grins and huggles all pups-
bic: Taint blinked drowsily as Keeper carried the pups in and curled up himself, returning his lick somewhat feebly before resting her head upon dainty brown paws. This is how it's meant to be. She thought happily, and a smile streched her slender maw. Slowly, with the warm comfort of her family currounding her on all sides, she slipped into a deep, dreamless sleep.
Cotton, half asleep, squeaked in protest as Solo plonked himself on top of her. She was about to roll from beneath him when she found that hi weight merely warmed her, and was actually quite comfortable. Grinning, she shrugged her shoulders and poked her tongue out at her sleepy sibling. Ha! Nice try! She thought smugly, settling down again and shutting her eyes, her breathing soon becoming regular.

Keeper yawned gently and watched his mate fall alseep. Closing his eyes, he too was soon alseep, a bit of a smile of happiness and content etched on his maw.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Solo snorted at his sister, but immedinatly succumded to his sleepyness before he was even able to retaliate.
