It seemed the frown that had firmly planted itself upon the dark wolf's lips was unwavering. He didn't understand. It was just, unnatural for the packmembers to behave in such a way. I mean sure, every pack has their big mouth and their rebels but not everyone feels that way toward Halifax, surely! He suddenly felt something sink in his stomach. He hoped Nara hadn't felt regret for bringing such an upstanding and kind wolf into the pack. No. Nara wasn't like that. Not one bit. And besides, she was the one who brought him here in the first place! If she felt any sort of hostility to the white warrior she wouldn't have let him join.
Hell, from what he heard, it had started to rain at the welcoming ceremony! Obviously someone had offended somebody. Raelen had only heard stories like that when he was a pup, of wolves who possessed abilities that others coveted. He use to love those stories. They always filled him with some kind of strange emotion, excitement? If he had any sort of strange ability, than he didn't doubt that he would be a bit braver. But at the moment, all he had to defend himself were his teeth and claws. Not something he liked thinking about. He was just too... slender. Too skinny, for fighting. He was just way too submissive to even stand up for himself, let alone anyone else.
Thoughts like this depressed the dark wolf but he was forced to shake it off for now. He was suppose to be relaxing and having a good time with Halifax, not brooding. He didn't bother mentioning how the white wolf had suddenly cut off when beginning to speak of his father, but the younger male couldn't help but have an ember of curiosity burn up in his gut. What had happened when Halifax was younger? He wondered. But just like before, he shut his trap because it was none of his business. If Halifax wanted to tell him. He would.
"You know, I was eying off a herd of young bucks earlier today, but had to let the opportunity pass as I was not capable of bringing down one of the beasts alone."
Suddenly the atmosphere around Halifax changed dramatically and he was leaping to his feet, startling Raelen and making him shrink back a bit instinctively. Where was he going with this?
"Seeing as you are here now though, would you help me? I think I know where they were headed."
Raelen's pale amber optics nearly bugled right out of his skull. He tried not to choke but had ended up taking a sharp breath of air in surprise. Was he asking what he really thought he was asking? Raelen was scrambling to his feet, looking more animated than ever, his eyes sparkling and his tail beginning to wave about wildly. But before he could smile he suddenly stopped and looked uncertain, his tail nearly halting altogether.
"You... want to hunt. With me?" The dark wolf asked in disbelief. No one had ever asked to hunt with him before! Least not when he was apart of this pack! He guessed everyone viewed him as the Omega, and it was rather pathetic to hunt with the Omega of the pack now wasn't it? Mostly because the Omega's rarely hunt, they sit back and watch pups and always get last pick of the meal. He hoped his sudden change of mood wouldn't deject the white wolf so he effortlessly slid back into his previous euphoria. Hunting! With another wolf!
"B-But I'd love to go! We can take down the biggest one! It'll be so much fun! T-Thank you for inviting me." He said in a rush, trying not to overwhelm Halifax he shut up and tried to hide how much he was quivering with excitement. God. He felt like a pup again.
(OOC- Thanks =D. And it wasn't bad!)

Hal winced as his sudden outburst caused the seemingly fragile Raelen to at first cringe away. He hadn't meant to startle him, but in hindsight, could have known that would be the other male's reaction. He was about to scold himself for being so assumptive when suddenly he was cowering with surprise. Raelen leaped to his paws in about half the time it had taken for Halifax to do so, the night-hued wolf's tail wagging wildly behind him, a look of pure thrill and excitement illuminating his dark eyes. Halifax quickly turned his cower into a play-bow, tail curving over his back and swaying slowly from side to side. This was the reaction he had hoped he would draw from Raelen, and seeing it gave him a thrill of his own.
"You... want to hunt. With me?" Hal raised a brow questioningly. Had he not made that clear enough? Rising up out of his play-bow, he shook his head at Raelen's sudden doubt, marveling at his ability to question any good will put up to him. He wondered though, if somebody offered him a hand of legitimate kindness, would he not question it too? Halifax was again knocked out of his brooding thoughts as Raelen adopted his previous state of excitement, tail just a dark moving blur behind him. Hal grinned, feeling himself being drawn back into bliss.
"B-But I'd love to go! We can take down the biggest one! It'll be so much fun! T-Thank you for inviting me." Unable to stow it down, a rumble of laughter erupted from the pit of Hal's stomach. "The biggest it is!" he declared in a shout, already bounding swiftly in the direction he knew the bucks to be headed - Kolenya. He did not know the name of the place yet, but he knew it was the quietest section of river that flowed through their territory, the very place he had dwelt before Nara had confronted him. This was the place where they would find their game. Halifax had not made a kill since that caribou with Nara, and he didn't believe that really counted, that should have been Nara's kill, after all.
[/b] so do you want to start a thread in Kolenya, or shall I? Raelen is just pretty much following Hal for the moment as they make their way there :3[/sub][/ul] [/color][/size][/blockquote][/blockquote] |

Raelen was so elated! This was the best ever! He was going to go hunting with his new buddy and they were going to snag the biggest buck and drag it back to camp to show off! Ha! Nara will be awed by their catch! Raelen suddenly had the idea of them striding into camp, carrying the buck with their heads held high, reeking of blood and triumph. And the whole pack would gather and erupt into cheers! Proud that they have such gifted hunters in the Souse!
Then the dark wolf shook his head and looked up, only to find that Halifax was bounding away, obviously expecting him to follow. The dark creature yipped after him and took off, his slender legs pumping and allowing him to easily catch up to the whiter male.
(OOC- I guess you can start it since he's following.)
