Nak

Aside from his wolfish face, Nak otherwise carried the look of his border collie father, including the overall black pelt with white tipped paws and tail. He was small bodied too, weighing in around fifty-five pounds of pure energy and agility, with a wiry little tail and dainty limbs. Feeling adventurous today, the little hybrid had strayed from his home at the farm, and was out in the 'wild lands' of the Valley. At the moment, Nak was pawing at a rock, trying to flip it over and catch the cave cricket he saw run underneath.

Doteni

Doteni was only about two years old now. His mother had been murdered when he was only a bout a year ad she left him in charge. He had gotte over her death and was now proceeding to look for new members. He would soon go to the Shadow hauters ad seek a alliance but till then. He was all white with purple eyes. He weighed aroud 140 lbs. He came to a halt as he watched what looked mostly like a collie yet had a wolfish face move following a cricket. His tail flicked as it curled over his back. He approached him now.Greetings, I am Doteni Son of White Feathers adn Datenshi, Who are you?He questioned now just staring and watching him.

Nak

Exceptionally naive, Nak didn't yet know about all of the various wars in the Valley, or what any of the packs were called. It was true that Aidan and some of his offspring resided at the Ranch with him, and were allies of the Lurkers and Guardians, but they were always reserve fighters - they stayed at the ranch almost exclusively, unless there was a massive battle where their help was needed.

Forgetting about the cricket, Nak lifted his head and cocked it to the side, tail waving in a friendly manner as his silvery eyes looked to the purple ones of the stranger. "Doteni? I've never really... met a wild wolf before." The adolescent explained, "I'm Nak, son of Timber and Artemis." Finding this larger canine far more interesting than the rock he had been trying to turn over, Nak sat back on his haunches, tail still brushing against the ground, "Where do you live?"

Doteni

Doteni watched the male carefully. He had never met a ranch dog. The male didn't seem to mean any threat so his muscles relaxed. His ears perked as the other spoke. I see , so you belong to those two leggers?He spoke softly ad listened as the other gave his name as well as his parents names.I reside at Shadow Hedge with my packHe spoke. You?

Nak

Contrary to most, Nak just didn't seem to have an aggressive bone in his body. Naturally, he might be expected to at least react defensively if approached by one so large as Doteni - but not this little hybrid. His tail was still patting pleasantly at the ground as he listened to the other speak, then went on to reply in turn, "Yep; Martha and Mark." 'Two-legger' was a term that his father never used, but Aidan and Tahirah seemed to use it almost exclusively to denote humans. "I live at a house, sort out that way-" The hybrid nodded to the south as he said this.

Doteni

Doteni listened adn snorted.they have names?He spoke not really as a question. He then looked to the south and snorted.I see, well the wild is much better then letting those two leggers ru your lifeHe spoke softly. His tail flicked to the side as he watched him.You know you could leave them ad come live with me at my pack you would be so much better offHe spoke.

Nak

If he'd been his dad, Nak would have taken to Doteni's words harshly. Instead, the little hybrid drooped his ears back a little and his tail ceased his merry thumping. Almost hesitantly, he spoke in defense of his family, both canine and human alike, "They're really quite nice, when you get to know them. They feed us, and John plays with us, and takes us hunting sometimes..." Nak pawed at the rock briefly, but his attention flickered right back to the wolf when he mentioned living in the wild. One ear lifted up and his uncertain eyes drifted meekly back up to the alpha, "Live with you...?"

Nak sighed quietly, taking just a few seconds to think about this before he replied again, "I suppose that could be fun... but- only if I can visit my family now and then."

Doteni

He listened.I suppose if you want to be lazy and not be a real canineHe spoke in reply.I suppse you can visit them, But you cannot bring the two leggers to my landHe spoke. Looks like he would have aother new member for his pack. His tail flicked to the side as he stood there.

Nak

Again he looked away, feeling more a sense of needing approval than he did resentment at the way Doteni spoke down of the humans. "But I'm not lazy - I'm a good hunter! I can catch mice sometimes, and I track down birds and squirrels that my Master John shoots down." Nak was standing up now, tail starting to nervously wag again, "Oh no, I wouldn't bring them out here. Martha doesn't go out in the wilderness much, and John stays in his own territory, or goes to the Human Town."

Doteni

He listeed again.See, those things are for cats to be catching not us canines. WE catch deer and the like, eve if your small you can still in a pack cotribute to a real huntHe spoke ad then stretched a bit.Alright then, then come there are alot of members you eed to meet that will be apart of your new extended familyHe spoke.

Nak

A little rush of excitement got his heart to pounded in his chest and thrumming in his ears. "Deer...? You really think I could help catch one?" Never had he thought he could take on something so big, and the very prospect of it got his soft eyes to light up in anticipation. Not bothering to think how his father would take to him joining a wild pack, Nak nodded eagerly to his new alpha, conscientious enough to lower his head and ears in respect now, "I'm ready to follow, Doteni!"

Doteni

Doteni listeed.Huntig is't all about actually takig dow the pray. It also involves stealth and speed as well directig the pray toward those who are stroger ad could easily take the prey downHe spoke ad the dipped his head and proceeded toward shadow hedge
