Oka watched the entrance, a simple tail flick acknowledging his Principle. She would be fine. Ossie, would he run if things got hairy?

The chirping of early song birds woke Ossie up from a another night of nightmares. His lifted his head a yawned. His black tipped ears flicked towards Nieve, who was still asleep. His gaze then flicked towards Oka. Nervousness made his ear flick.

With bags beneath his eyes and no movement besides slow, careful breathing, Oka seemed asleep. But as soon as Ossie made a movement Oka glanced over with half-closed eyes.

Ossie's ears flicked back. "Good Morning." He whispered. Ossie got to his paws and padded closer to Oka. "You stayed up all night?" He asked quietly.

"I did. Someone had to keep watch, made sure no one snuck in... or out." His voice was laced with ice. A whole night of sleeplessness had left him irritable.

Ossie noticed the ice in his voice but he didn't understand what it was for. He sat down near Oka. "Oh...umm what did you want to speak about?" He asked quietly. Oka seemed to be in a bad mood.

"I met a wolf who told me a story. The story revolved around a pack broken by sickness, and a healer who cracked under pressure, running from his responsibility." He growled, finally looking at Ossie.

Ossie looked very confused by Oka's anger. "W-what?" Ossie got to his paws, his ears flicked back in what looked like anger. "I-i didn't run away." Ossie locked his gaze with Oka.

"You did. I was told by an Alpha, who you know are sworn to uphold truth and justice. You ran because you'd run out of supplies to treat your pack." He replied swiftly.

Ossie shook his head. "No!" Ossie's teeth flashed with anger. "I was chased out! They wanted me to survive!" Ossie took a step forward. The fur along his back started to rise. "Who told you this story?" Nieve had awoken and watched the tow with flicked back ears.

"Flame Mal. She's become Alpha of her pack, and says you'd know her." Oka said softly. Ossie's reaction had not been expected.

Ossie's eyes narrowed at the name. Yes Ossie knew this wolf. "Flame Mel, Mel the trickster. Mel the terrible." Ossie growled. "I though Mel died a long time ago." He growled. "You were tricked Oka." He added with a stern bark.

"You can't be serious... She swore an oath!..." He couldn't fathom it. Only the true and just could be Alpha..!

Ossie sat down the fur along his back still stuck up like spikes. "Well Mel is different, she does what she wants even if it ruins friends ships or starts a war." Ossie looked up at Oka.

Oka looked away, his faith broken in the old ways. "Ossie... can you forgive me, for mistrusting you?"

Post by Fuzzymask on Oct 28, 2017 20:06:09 GMT -5
Ossie was quiet for a little bit. "I forgive you." He said quietly. Nieve got to her paws and padded up to the two. "Morning." She meowed quietly. Trying to change the subject. "Isn't the gathering tonight?" she meowed quietly.

"Yes it is." Oka said softly. "We have the support of two packs. We will manage the others tonight." He hoped.

Ossie and Nieve both nodded at the same time. "I bet we can earn all of the support." Nieve meowed. "We just have to hope Mel doesn't do anything stupid." Ossie growled.

Before Nieve could ask, Oka held up a paw. "Mel is a deceiving leader. Don't trust her. That scent of flame and charcoal only means lies."

Nieve nodded, her blue eyes wide. This Mel character seemed like trouble. Ossie sighed and nodded.
(Should we skip to the meeting?)

(Mmhmm! Happy halloween!)
Twas the night of the meeting. Oka had hunted once more, and with full bellies and strong will the team moved out down the hill directly outside their cave door. Down the grassy knoll they went, until the land flattened to a valley. Ahead was a pile of huge stones, which could be said to be almost four stories tall. A leader could easily speak down to the many packs from there. Oka turned to Nieve, his Principal, and Ossie, his dear friend. "Do not go far, and do not make enemies. If a conversation seems to turn south, excuse yourself and find me. I will be staying close to the leaders. Now... Which one of us will make the announcement?"

(Happy Halloween!)
Nieve had perched her self on Oka's back. The say of Oka's movements had comforted her as they headed towards the huge group of wolves, she didn't like this at all. Nieve's ear flicked to Oka's question. She for sure didn't want to but if Ossie was to scared to she would. Ossie looked over to Oka. His eyes huge. Nieve spoke then. "If i have to i will but i cant speak very good wolf." Her meow was quiet.

(Did you do anything fun?)
To have Nieve stutter on wolf tongue was not the image they needed to convey. Oka glanced at Ossie, questioning if he would silently.

(I handed out candy! that's about it...you?)
Ossie was silent his gaze fixed out in front of him, he sighed. "I will, what should we report?" He asked quietly. Ossie had been day dreaming most of this walk. He was excited but also nervous about this gathering.

(No one came, so I ate our candy ) "Who we are, why we're here, and that we've already got two leaders backing us. It'll be simple and sweet. If anyone asks questions, improvise, but run damage control, your hear? We're a peaceful third party, an 'extra' healer for the packs."

(.3. I did that to, it was to cold to stay out long.)
Ossie nodded. "Ok, Nieve should stay with you at all times. A wolf might want her as a little snack." Ossie glanced up at Nieve then back at Oka. Ossie has known wolves that would love a small cat snack. Nieve's whiskers twitched nervously. Ossie was right. At the moment she was a mouse heading into a cats den.

Oka nodded in agreement. "Stay on my back, if you can, Nieve. Not many at this gathering would attack me. In fact, I'd wager I still have plenty a silent supporter."

Nieve nodded. She wrapped her tail around her paws. Her violet bell jingling softly. Ossie was quiet, he seemed to be a hundred miles away. The only sound was their paws on the leaf littered ground.

Oka glanced up to the hilltop. There was a wolf he recognized. "Ossie. Your girlfriend is here." He pointed to the shewolf in question and the crest of the hill, leading her pack to the gathering.

Ossie felt his heart leap when he saw her. He could barley keep still it felt like it had been ages since he saw her. Nieve's ear flicked. She though it was cute. A snapping twig made her turn around. A familiar black and white wolf padded out of the forest. His deep red eyes seemed to brighten as he noticed them. Atsuzz padded over. "I see you made it." He barked happily. Atsuzz never usually came here, to many wolves in one place. But he wanted to see what the packs were going to do with these three.
