Thorn picked his way carefully through the dense undergrowth of the forest and easily slipped into the hollow. The small clearing was full of nests made of soft moss and lichen, and a few dogs were sleeping quietly in theirs.
Ears pricked, he could hear Kitty also picking her way quietly through the forest, and he padded slowly over to a vacant nest. Laying himself down, he waited patiently for the newcomer to follow.

Kitty managed to push her way through the undergrowth and walked to where Thorn was. She looked around, a bit nervous. There were quite a bit of dogs, which she was certainly not used to. She sat down next to the handsome brute and gave her chest a slightly nervous lick.

ooc // Trust me, you don't have to make excuses. I honestly would rather not read a HUGE post and have to reply to a huge post. mine was short too. This one will be long because he's showing her around and telling her about the pack, but don't feel pressured to post a long post in response to it.
His large black ears twitched slightly as the sounds of the female's pawsteps became closer and closer. His expressionless face lit up in a smile as her own curious face appeared in the bushes. As she carefully padded toward him, he dipped his head in respect, watching her nervously groom her chest. He could feel her anxiety, so he gave her a comforting lick on the shoulder.
"This is the Nesting Hollow," he announced, his gruff voice becoming more smooth as he spoke. Then, he motioned his his snout toward a dark den, covered with hanging moss and lichen. "That over there is the Nursery, where pups would be born and raised, although there haven't been any pups born in this pack since Darthyn created it." His happy expression became somber and down-trodden. He, as much as any dog, wanted only the best for his pack, including strong, healthy pups to carry on the pack after their parents had gone.
"We need more dogs to begin mating. It is spring, and the Nursery should be full of the sounds of squeaking pups." The warrior looked troubled. "No one seems to be interested in having pups." He shifted his gaze from the empty den to the pretty Bulldog in front of him, his eyes searching her expectantly.

She nodded, listening closly and remembering everything he said. It seemed like a good, welll organized pack. Her nervousness began to fade. When he started talking about pups, her ears pricked up a bit. "I've been interested for awhile. it's just that........" she said softly, but began to fade off, getting embarrased. As if he would really care. She wouldn't care in the slightest if another fae began talking about her pup problems to her. At or least in the past.

His eyes lit up as she began to speak of pups. He expected her to grow uncomfortable when he spoke about them, but she stayed calm. He lifted a brow, a small smirk on his face.
"It's just that...what, Kitty?" He furrowed his brow, beginning to worry. He hoped nothing was wrong with her, she seemed to be healthy, why would there be a problem with her having pups?

"I've never had the chance. Never found..well, this may seem silly, but someone who I could trust enough to not take advantage of me. Who would actually care for me, and the pups." She said, shocked that she revealed this to a near to total stranger. But he was handsome and charming, one of those dogs who could get you to tell them anything ,with ease. She looked at him, wondering what his reaction would be. Would he take it seriously, or take advantage, or just laugh and tell her to grow up. She had had the last two happen and she wasn't interested in do them over.

It was when she said those words that Thorn realized that she was a perfect choice. He nodded resolutely, wondering how to bring it up without seeming too eager.
"I would take care of you," he mumbled quietly, his gaze resting on his own black paws. Then he looked up. He decided now was the time to tell her. "Darthyn has given me a job. He wants the pack to have a future, namely, pups. I'm to impregnate a few females to get it started." He faltered, obviously embarrassed. If it weren't for the jet black fur covering his cheeks, they would have been as red as turnips.
"Are you..." He rolled his shoulders in a shrug. "Are you interested?"

She listened to the brute, than looked up at him when his voice became nervous. Then he asked about her having pups.
She looked straight into his eyes and right then, her eyes showed everything. "Absoultley. Anything to help the pack." She said, giving him a soft lick on the ear. Was this truely happening? "Even if it wasn't for the pack, i'd do it. You seem honest and true...I trust you." she said, for the 1st time in a very very long time.

Thorn hadn't been expecting much, but when she agreed, his heart nearly stopped beating for a few moments.
"Wow," He stammered, his eyes glowing. "You don't know how much of a help you are being to the pack. Our future rests upon your shoulders now, Kitty." He smiled warmly, giving her shoulder a gentle lick. "But no pressure, of course."
At this he chuckled, then nudged her toward a secluded area in the trees. Not wanting to be hasty, he stood at her side and began grooming her white and brown pelt gently with his tongue.
"Whenever you're ready, Kit." He whispered, not wanting to make her too nervous. He was already nervous enough for the both of them.

She stood up, giving him a lick on the shoulder. She looked at him, thinking about the fact that she had not been this happy in quite sometime. She started heading toward where he had been heading, glancing at him. "Coming?" she said, a bit flirtatiously.

Thorn followed her, eyes wide, nervous, excited. He gulped, watching her every move, and they disappeared within the trees.
OKAY! They mated, she's pregnant! I already posted the pups' bios in the PUP BIOS area of Character Creation, but I didn't name them. they're two boys, but I can change it if you like. I'll send you a PM with possible names and then you can give me your ideas and we'll decide on two good ones.
