Halphas chuckled. "Alright, sorry then. If you don't want to, we could just look around for Starfrost and Vorlos. I'm sure they're around here somewhere." 

---

Leto grinned. They seemed more and more like a family with each pas-sing minute. "Kohaku, you're missing out on the fun." She said. He always seemed to be the quiet one, even with Starfrost.

---

Vorlos moaned as he coughed up water. "Why didn't you use that trick first?" He said, but grinned. "And you're welcome." He slowly got up, shaking the water out of his pelt. "Come on, I'm sure the mud and berry stains are off your pelt now. Let's go find the others before they start to worry." 

"I didn't know I could do that," Admitted Starfrost. "Just, instinct.....It was like, so freakin' awesome wasn't it?!" She yipped. She shook the water off her pelt. "Yeah--" Wait, where was her pearl. "Where did it go?" She wondered outloud, walking in circles looking for it. "Don't tell me I lost it! All that for nothing!"

Kohaku sighed. "I'll go with Nyght and Halphas to find Vorlos and Starfrost, and Leto and Calyx can hunt. Good." He said, turning away form Leto. Kohaku observed the two. "hehehe.." He chuckled. "Leto and Kohaku sittin' in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" He blurted out. Calyx couldn't help but laugh.

Vorlos shrugged. "S'alright. I'd say our lives are worth more than the pearl, Starfrost." He pointed out gently. 

---

Leto looked repelled by those words. "I don't intend to mate, if that's what you two are suggesting." She retorted, mildly amused. She could see that even the serious Halphas was fighting to keep a grin off his face. "Kissing is gross." Leto stated simply. Good lord, is was like handling two Vorloses at the same time. 

Kohaku smacked Nyght into a tree and stalked off. "Awwww...How Cute," Nyght snickered. He rubbed his head. "That hurt, yah know!" He snapped. "It was suposed too!" Came Kohaku's snarl. Nyght rolled is eyes. "Your perfect for eachother~" He teased. Calyx held her stomach. "Stop, I can't breathe!" she giggled. Nyght smiled. This was going to be fun.

Starfrost sighed. "I guess your right." she pouted. "But it was sooo shiny!" She complained. "Oh look!" She pointed to an elk carcas.s. "Food!: She ran up to it. "Freshly killed, too. Its still warm." dun duuuuuuuun xD

[[ XD That actually made me laugh in RL :d -pokes signature- Good job, Zozo XD ]]

Vorlos slipped out of the cave along with Starfrost. "I'm not sure, Starfrost." He said uneasily. "Perhaps we should find the others first. I bet they're really... worried about us." He nodded, agreeing with his own idea.

---

Leto rolled her eyes. Halphas waved his tail. "We do need pups." He pointed out playfully, then Basira laughed along with Calyx. Leto rolled her eyes, unimpressed. "I'm sure we do." She said patiently. 

"Oh come on, lightten up Leto!" Nyght chuckled. "You too, Kohaku. It was just a joke." He added. Kohaku rolled his eyes and stared at the other wolves through a hole in the brambles. Nyght sighed. Calyx finally stopped laughing, but her stomach hurt. "Oww..." She giggled. She stampered up and wagged he rtail. "Sorry, Kohaku!" she tried not to giggle.

Starfrost frowned. "Fine." She woofed, trotting back to Vorlos. "I'll just come back for the pearl later....." She decided.

-fail- 

Basira watched them as they tried to calm Kohaku down. "Your stomach alright, Calyx?" She asked, concerned. Calyx did seem strained, as Halphas had pointed out.

[[Dis is the time for Basira to show her awesome med. skillagenezz 8D ]]

Leto huffed. "The more we become pack, the more we become family." She recited the words her mother had told her. She shrugged. "Come on, Kohaku. It's a joke."

---

Vorlos frowned, sniffing the air. It was hard to discern anything from the blood of the caribou. "Starfrost, do you smell anything strange?" He asked. 

"Of course it is--" Calyx started to cough. "No really, I'm fine," She rasped out. Nyght looked at the coughing she-wolf and sniffed her. "You don't smell fine." He said flatly. "I think your sick." He added, backing away from her. "I'm not sick!" Calyx whimpered, coughing up something crimson. Kohaku's eyes widened from behind the brambles. "I don't feel so good...." Whimpered Calyx.

"Now that you think about it, I do. Why?" Starfrost asked. "I can't put a paw on it, but what ever it is, its not good." She added. "We should find the others,"

"We should go." Vorlos said hastily, confident that the smell was quickly becoming stronger. "Now." He started off in a fast-walking pace towards the clearing where Leto and the others were supposed to be, pausing to wait for Starfrost.

---

Basira shook her head. "She can't be sick." She told Nyght in a crisp manner. "She's just dehydrated and hungry. Wait here." Basira ran off, spending a few minutes foraging through the forest. She came back with a mouthful of red berries laced with green leaves. Basira placed it gently on the ground in front of Calyx. "Eat everything." She instructed Calyx. Halphas and Leto watched on, Leto looking very distressed while Halphas looked concerned with his first forest friend being in trouble. "It's the fruit of a raspberry plant, and I laced it with leaves that will help you with your hunger until we find food. The berry will quench your thirst for awhile, Calyx."

[[Dude. We need to find a way to lace romance into this XD And I gotta go. It's friggin' 1 AM x.x G'night!]] 

"Coming, coming." Starfrost followed Vorlos back to the clearing where they're friends were suposed to be. "Hello everyone~" She woofed.

"How can you tell?" Nyght asked, tilting his head. He shrugged, swishing his tail over his front paws confortably. Calyx was reluctant in eating the strange herbs, but gave in anyway. She licked up the plants and curled up in a ball. "will she be okay?" asked Kohaku in the bushes. Before anyone could answer, Nyght snapped. "Will you come out of the bushes damnit?!" Kohaku sigheed.

[[... FEIN -improv-]]

Halphas poked his head out of the den. It had been a day ago when they had established the borders. He quickly strode out of the den, happy to be outside in his new territory, with the possibility of being the Alpha.

---

Leto ruffled her wings as she glided from tree to tree. Vorlos stayed on the ground, watching his sister. "Show off." He called. Now that the siblings had something like a new home, they weren't as hostile to each other. "I'll take you out flying one day, Vorlos!" Leto laughed as she hopped between branches.

---

Basira was near the two wolves, picking through herbs. "Come on, you two." She said. "Let's go back to the camp. I bet every other wolf would be waking up soon." The three of them left, Leto alighting on the ground noisily and following them, tail wagging.
