Hazel lifted her head off the ground upon scenting the food, but her ears dropped with disappointment. "I was hoping for deer." She mumbled pouring, resting her head between her paws.
(My idea for Stone's return is that Fang and Talon could find him and Izusa while hunting down a deer for Hazel ^.^)

Of course you can Scorchwing!))
Talon huffed. "Hazel I tried my best to get food for you. It may not be what you wanted but it's still good food." He woofed.

"But what if our pups want deer?" Hazel retorted, rolling into her back with a soft whine and giving her mate a pleading look.

Talon sighed. "I highly doubt the pups want deer, as long as you get food. They don't eat meat as soon as they're born." He said.

(Do you not want Stone to come back ;n; )
"But deer's the most filling!" Hazel whimpered.
(Darky and I replied at the other thread btw)

Just wait))
He sighed softly and nodded. "Alright." He said as he got up and walked out.
And ok))

Hazel barked a soft "Thank you" as she watched Talon leave.

Talon got Fang to come along and the two padded off.

Near the outskirts of the territory, the grass and undergrowth rustled wildly as something seemingly frolicked around in it.

The two hunters stopped and watched.

As another loud rustle came from the grass, a grasshopper bounced into subtle view for a split second, as if trying to escape something. Whatever was rustling in the grass seemed to settle down a little, the only sign of its presence now being its slight shifting that stirred the undergrowth a little bit.

Talon and Fang padded slowly towards the object and sniffed the air, trying to figure out what it was.

All of a sudden, a little white shape leaped into the air with a squeaking yip, disappearing back into the undergrowth a second later. Whatever it was, it was communicable enough for its high-pitched giggles to be heard a heartbeat later.

The two wolves stopped as they heard wolf giggles and they pressed forward slowly. "Hello? Who is there?" Fang called.

The white wolf pup suddenly gave a squeal of alarm and scrambled backwards slightly, tensing. Within heartbeats, barking could be heard in the near distance, gradually growing closer.

Fang smelled the air and instantly his tension melted away. "Storm? Is that you?" He called.

Suddenly the barking stopped, as if the incoming adult wolf had recognized Fang's tone. Soon a sturdy gray shape - Stone - appeared, trotting over and swishing his tail. "Storm died, remember?" He barked with a huff as he came to a stop next to where the white pup was now huddled towards the ground whimpering. "Izusa, it's okay. These are the wolves we were looking for." As Izusa took an audible deep breath, apparently trying to regain her composure, Stone dipped his head in respectful greeting to Fang. "Good to see you again." He woofed, sounding a bit relieved.

I meant Stone))
Famg smiled broadly. "It's good to see you too! How are you and your family? How's your pack doing now?" He asked as he looked at Izusa as she came out. "Oh my goodness, is this Izusa? My has she grown." He commented.
Talon, meanwhile, was shaking in his fur. What will he think when he sees Hazel nearly ready to burst from the pups? He wondered silently as he looked at Stone and his daughter.

"My BirthPack is doing fine." Stone woofed with a twitch of his ears. "Stag's their Alpha now; he's turning out much better than Branch was as a wolf in general. My two other pups stayed with them, being more attached to their grandmother who's been raising them. And yes, Izusa's grown a bit, hasn't she?" He huffed softly, bending down and carefully nudging his little white daughter to her paws. "She's grown in personality, mostly. I think she's becoming a good mix of... Storm and I. Although that mischievous part of her personality reminds me more of Hazel..." Flattening his ears slightly and looking at Fang and Talon in wary concern, he asked, "Wait.. Where is Hazel? Surely she'd never miss out on a hunt?" Huffing wryly, he added in a mutter, "Especially with Talon, right?"
Izusa was now blinking around at the surrounding area, her gray gaze wide with awe; although her attention briefly flickered to the strange males every few heartbeats.

The two males smiled softly and got up. "She's just resting right now. She's probably awake, let's go see." Talon said, his voice shaking the tiniest bit.

(Hazel: Talon babe you are so in trouble X'D)
"Resting? Really?" Stone woofed, a hint of amusement in his voice. "If I remember correctly, my sister never really rests. She sleeps, but.. Well, she's a light sleeper. She's hyperactive. Like, when does my sister Hazel rest." He barked, huffing with laughter.
Izusa, surprisingly, burst into a fit of giggles as well. Plopping down onto her haunches and yapping hysterically, she asked, "Is that why I never rest, daddy? Got it from aunt Hazel?"
(Stone: Btw, I may be acting kinda OOC right now but that's mainly because I'm just relieved to be back.)

He nodddd softly and looked around. "Yes it is hard sometimes for her to get sleep." Talon said with a yawn as he kept walking.

"All the time." Stone corrected with a huff. "Anyway, can I see Hazel now?"
Izusa wagged her tail as her giggling subsided.

He nodded and led him towards the den he had with his beloved Hazel.

Stone sniffed the air contentedly as they headed into camp, his grayish-blue eyes narrowing when he didn't see Hazel out in the open, while Izusa curiously trotted ahead of him, making a beeline for the cave. Within a couple heartbeats after peeking in, she glanced back over at her father with her wide gray eyes. "There's a mommy-wolf in here!" She exclaimed, giving an excited squeak of laughter.
Stone tensed slightly, raising one eyebrow. "What?" He woofed confusedly. "Izusa, she could just be playing with a piece of prey..." Suddenly he stiffened, as if coming to a realizatoin. "Wait." He woofed, his tone ominously firm as he halted, turning and staring at Talon with narrowed eyes.
"Oh boy, Stone, it's really you!" Hazel's voice sounded from in the den as she staggered to her paws and poked her head out. Flattening her ears slightly as she noticed the tension surrounding her brother, she awkwardly added, "...And, well, we've got a surprise!"
"Clearly." Stone woofed, sounding as if he was on the brink of growling as he still glared at Talon.
(Dang Talon, you are so busted X'D)

Talon looked back at Stone. "Yes it's true, Stone. We're mates now and she's carrying my pups. Is something the matter?" He asked as he held a firm, steady posture.

"So you just went and took advantage of my sister the second I left, huh?" Stone growled, any trust he may have had for Talon seeming to have dissipated. "I should've known... No, Hazel, she should've come with me."
"HEY." Hazel retorted, her hackles rising as she struggled to keep her howl. "Like it or not, I'm a grown wolf who can make my own decisions."
"We still don't know what he might be intending!" Stone snapped, clearly feeling betrayed and thus frustrated. "At this rate is be completely unsurprised if Talon's just gonna take those pups and leave the moment they're weaned!"
"Talon won't do that, he's not like Branch!" Hazel snarled. "Or like you!"
Stone curled his lips back, clearly hurt. "A-at least I'm a good father now!" He barked, his voice shaking.
"Only because you have to be with the mother dead." Hazel growled, clearly intent on biting some sense into her brother the harsh way.
Izusa backed away slightly, stifling an unhappy whine as she crouched behind her father.

"And I love Hazel with all my heart! I would never leave her!" Talon growled as he walked back to Hazel and stood beside her. "Like it or not, we've made our choice." He dad with a tone of finality.

"But that doesn't mean I'll instantly trust you." Stone growled, guiding Izusa with his tail as he turned and stalked off to a corner of camp.
"Daddy, I'm gonna have cousins!" Izusa whimpered. "Why are you angry?"
"It's not easy to explain, Izusa." Stone replied bluntly, his voice thick with pent-up frustration.
Hazel snorted and sneered resentfully as soon as Stone had his back turned.

Talon nuzzled his beloved mate and sighed. "I thought this would happen." He muttered softly as he backed up a couple steps and gently licked her belly a few times, smiling as he thought about the pups.
