Dennis stared at the puppies as she watched them interact. Frankly, they might as well be a different species. Their behavior to her seemed so foreign. Toki was clearly terrified of her, yet hadn't run away like instinct would surely tell her to. Ziira meanwhile, just got up and left, mumbling something about a lazy butt. Dennis's first thought was that the puppy was going to the bathroom, but why would she leave to do that?
At a heavy thud in the distance Dennis's ears flattened and she padded forward a few steps, wondering if she should assist. However, then she heard two canines returning, and watched with ears back and tail drooping as Ziira bounded forward and crushed Toki's tail. Toki unsurprisingly did not take it well.
Then the little thing spoke, and Dennis shook. This was bizarre. She couldn't handle puppies. Maybe Gabriel would know what to do.
"Come on, guys, we're going."
With that, Dennis walked over to Toki. She really had no idea how to pick up a puppy, but luckily for her her instincts did, and she grabbed Toki by the scruff of the neck. With a soft snort, Dennis gave Ziira and Soul a pointed look, then turned around and began to head down the mountain.

As a note, guys, it's polite to wait for everyone to post and not leave one person behind in the thread. That way we can avoid conversation that results above from Ziira and Soul ignoring Dennis picking up Toki.

Toki couldn't remember ever being picked up before. The only time she had ever been picked up was as a newborn. And yet, being picked up by someone she has only met today made things seem a lot calmer.
She saw the world with a different perspective, these strangers became trusted friends with in one moment. Instead of being afraid, she was exstatc of them. She wondered what was yet to come. edit-im back, for a while i guess

ooc: Blue writing = Ziira's speech/thoughts Red writing = Soul's speech/thoughts
Ziira sighed, turning to walk behind Dennis.
More walking.... This had better be worth it..
Soul sat at the edge of hte clearing and waited for Ziira to pass before walking behind her. Minutes passed, but everything around them seemed the same, the trees in the forest were identical to eachother, the path they took never altered..
"Havn't we passed here before?" "Seems like it... Why?" "Because, I feel like we're walking in cir-"
Not again!
Ziira quickly closed her eyes and mouth before -BANG!- she landed head first, tripped by a root hidden in leaves..

Dennis felt the puppy in her mouth relax and almost sighed with relief; at least she wouldn't have to deal with the thing kicking and squealing on the way there. Granted, it didn't make much sense to her that the puppy would be terrified of her one second and then relax the next, but perhaps there were some instincts that she wasn't aware of that had kicked in. She could only hope.
Then the other puppies began talking. Dennis's ears flicked back at the conversation, and her ears flattened slightly. Were they judging her ability to find her own pack? She knew this area, and she knew where they were going. It was just a bit of a long walk when she had to try and keep her pace matched with those of tiny puppies.
Then the familiar thud, and Dennis turned to see that Ziira had stumbled over a root. Dennis's tail raised and her lips quivered. She was never having puppies.
"Come on... We're about half-way there."
She didn't know why she didn't just keep walking, but instead waited for the puppies to get their bearings before continuing.

Ziira shook her head, a few dead leaves floating back to earth, then slowly got up, purposly going back wards, so all of her weight was on the root.
That is one strong root
She though, stunned at it's strength, that not even all of her weight could snap it. Soul walked up behind her.
Three... Two.... One!
"Nice try Soul...."
Ziira said quietly stepping to the side, watching her brother slam head-first into the dead leaves.
"Now get your lazy butt up so we can get moving"
She said, walking towards Dennis, sitting next to her while they waited for Soul, before continuing towards the pack, watching the ground for anymore roots
ooc: sorry, lazyness again

OOC: this is the forum's shortest post but I have not much to say.
Toki was very relaxed on the trip and she fell asleep just minutes after they left that tree where they met.

Dennis resisted the urge to growl at the puppies wasting time. They were just puppies, she told herself. They didn't know any better. They were just bored and trying to enjoy themselves. Just a little bit farther and she could pass them off to Sabbath and go back to minding her own business...
The smell of Gabriel nailed Dennis's senses. It wasn't just the borders, either -- they weren't quite there yet. It was Gabriel himself. Dennis's ears flattened, and her tail was neatly tucked beneath her legs by the time Gabriel, ears disinterested and tail up, emerged from the bushes. He paused, then smiled at Dennis. Dennis gently released Toki, eyes focused on her alpha.
"I found them."
Gabriel's smile vanished at her words. "Found them?"
"Found them."
The wolf hybrid blinked, then shook his head. Dennis wasn't one to lie, so he could only take her word for it. Tail waving and a weak smile on his face, he turned to the three puppies.
"Hello then. I'm Gabriel, alpha of Dennis's pack. Who are you three, and what are you doing out here without your parents?"

Toki was still asleep on the ground so she didn't awser him right away. But, she rolled, yawned, opened her eyes and looked up at this wolf, older and bigger than all the others. Toki's eyes showed no fear, but her jaw nearly touched the ground. Her ears pointed backwards and tried to speak but all that came out of her mouth was...nothing.

Ziira looked up at Gabriel, ears flattening against her head. The word alpha brought unpleasent memories. She forced a small smile, answering him clearly
"I am Ziira.... Our parents left us in this forest...."
She looked over at Soul then to Toki, who couldn't manage to talk, so Ziira took it upon herself to introduce her.
"She is Toki.."
Her gaze turned back to Soul, as if saying to him speak already. Soul opened his mouth, only managing to get out.
"My name is.. Soul"
It was clear that he was afraid of the alpha infront of him, his ears flattened, tail between his legs.
ooc: yes, even MORE lazyness for ya xD also, this is the most replied to rp in the whole forum O:

Gabriel's tail drooped upon seeing the fear in the puppies. The youngest one couldn't even speak at all, while the lone male barely choked out a response. He focused his gaze on Dennis briefly, but she avoided his gaze. She, he noticed for the first time, was not at all thrilled with the puppies. He wondered then what made her bring them here, if she was so dissatisfied with the task. Yet they seemed to trust her more than he, and so he didn't plan to let her escape.
"Your parents left you...?"
He tried to make sense of the statement. Starvation, perhaps? Yet there was plenty of prey in the forest... There was no sense in thinking about it. The puppies would soon be starving too if they weren't given some food, though Gabriel didn't know how to go about that. Perhaps Sabbath could handle it; judging by Dennis's posture, she wouldn't be.
"Well, let's get you some food. Follow us. Dennis, could you take Toki?"
Dennis swallowed back the growl in her throat. He commanded even the puppies around, abide with a polite voice, and yet was sappy and polite to her. He was an alpha, no? Then why did he never command her? Tail drooping and ears back, Dennis gently picked Toki back up while Gabriel walked up to the other two puppies to walk beside them and shield them. They were tiny enough to be carried away by coyotes or even a hawk, and Gabriel simply couldn't allow that.
Thus, with Toki safe in Dennis's grasp and Ziira and Soul flanked by the adults, they resumed their walk to Gabriel's territory.

Toki stayed awake this time. She was still shocked by the sight of Gabriel. Then she Started wondering, What if they didn't accept her into the pack. The very thought made her ears flatten against her head. hopefully no one noticed her ears. She did not want to re-live what had happened to her only days ago. She was so scared then that it hurt even to think of those days with no one in sight. Toki was nervous to see their reaction to a pup rejected from her own pack.
