The Song.

Mai’s mouth opened and a tiny yawn followed by a high-pitched squeak exited her. Licking her chops the thick scent of ‘puppy breath’ hung around her and she shifted so her maw was on Kai’s paw, farthest from these dogs. Rita’s apprehension was slightly funny to her, just the way she seemed to feel so horrible because she put down the house pets. Which was completely wrong, because she too was one. That seemed to make Mailye a bit angry. It was like putting down your own gender and not laughing about it or making it into a harmless joke.

The other female obviously wasn’t as in depth as Mai thought herself to be. Growling softly she moved her maw to rest on the other paw; and glanced up at Kai to make sure she wasn’t annoying her or something. Yawning she closed her mismatching eyes before fluttering them open to examine this Rita. Wow…

Mailye’s head pulled from Kai’s paw and she cocked it slightly “You’re kind of fat!” she giggled standing up and leaning back into Kai’s stomach as well as to the side on her leg. Romping over to the honey hued female she jumped to the side of the couch, but didn’t make it. Backing up she ran and jumped. Her claws caught the fabric and soon enough she pulled her tiny body near Rita’s. Glancing to her mommy with a giggle she sniffed at Rita’s stomach and gently poked it with her little nose. She wanted to say; ‘Why didn’t you save any food for us.’ But that would be uncalled for and completely rude.

Kailani’s gaze gently flitted to the three legged canine for a moment and smiled as she soon came to realize and find out that Darthyn was the pack leader and that the white dogs name was Jack. He was such a nice dog, and she admired that he was able to stay so nice even though he’d lost a leg. She’d seen many handicap dogs go bitter after such an incident, but this one didn’t. No, he kept his tail wagging and a smile upon his maw as he walked through life, she could tell.

Her gaze moved upon the pregnant femme fatal that had hopped up onto the couch only to ask about why the whelp was scared. She glanced down at Mai for a moment. Mai didn’t seem scared anymore. No, she seemed perfectly content now that Kai was there with her, and Kailani’s gaze soon moved to look back to the female as she introduced herself and told of how she’d come to the pack and was the mate of Loch.

Kailani’s gaze watched the small seraph as she eyed both she and the pup as if nervous about something. And then it came out. The nervousness was within her voice as she asked if they were pet, stray or within the pack. Kailani was insulted by the tone of which she spoke it, but she didn’t say anything, her expression remaining normal. Only difference was that her harks splayed back for a moment before flicking forward again.

”And what if we are part of the pack or we are or were pets?” she spoke to the femme in question as she watched the pup romp over to prod at the large femme’s round belly. Soft chuckle slipped past her onyx kissers as she watched the act, her attention soon averting back to the shepherd bitch. ” I am a stray, and from the looks of the pup.. she is, too. So, no need to worry about tainting your home with pets.” she told the female in a rather calm tone despite the fact that she was rather irritated by her stupid lil comment. After having said this, she gave a soft ‘woof’ towards Mai, calling her away from the pregnant female. Although the female was pregnant, she knew that she could still land a good swat or nip at the pup if she got irritated and didn’t want that.

Kailani was odd like that. Unlike most canine’s, who’s tones snapped when they got upset, hers remained calm as ever when she was mad or irritated. So, the fact that she was mad was usually unseen. She had a passive voice.

Jack was silent, listening to the fae's. He looked at Kai, wondering why she seemed mad. he was sure Rita hadn't meant it rudely, probably more curiously. But not wanting to get involved, he stayed silent, instead watching the small pup. Finally, he decided it would be safe as long as he didn't mention anything that might set them off. "So, are you two interesting in joining the pack" he asked Kai

[Occ: Sorry, I have low inspiration for JackJack right now]

Rita

'How Are You, Sweetie? Don't Worry, I Won't Let Anyone Hurt You'

[/i][/center]

Rita's gaze followed the pup, a small smile flickered onto her maw when she spoke.
'Why, thankyou, from you I'll take that as a compliment,' she said, not nastily at all. With a quiver of her soft, honey pelt she sighed, lying he head back on the side of the coach, watching the pup out of the corner of her eye.
Her ears twitched as the shepard spoke, and she raised her neck to get a good look at the female who spoke.

'Then I would be afraid, because Darthyn does not take kindly to house pets,' she answered evenly, her gaze fixed, unblinkingly on the shepherd.
With a small, unnoticable smirk she lay her head back down and closed her eyes.
'But you're not, so you'll more than likely be accepted into the pack if that is what you wish,' she said calmly, opening one eye as her belly was poked by Mai.

She felt one of her pups kick, reacting to the small female's touch. Rita smiled softly, and closed her eye again.

Mai giggled as the belly seemed to twitch to her touch. Her eyes moved over the soft fur when she caught the whiff of humans off the dog. Ew. With a few twitches of her nose she gazed at the female in scrutiny. Had she just insulted house pets when she too was one? For a pup she was pretty damn witty. Her attention was pulled away when Kai barked her over. Lifting her little lip she showed her needle teeth to the bloated female and let her fur puff and she growled as she romped stumbled over to Kai.

Once by her momma she stood in front of her and continued to let little growls and barks rumble through her body. Her bi-colored eyes were attached to this female, looking her over and really assessing her comments. Walking forward a bit her back arched and her little nub raised in dominance over the female on the couch. Did she insult her mommy? Narrowing her tiny eyes at her she let another growl out and looked her over a few more times.

Finally deciding on exactly how to approach this sticky situation they seemed to have ended up in. “Why do you put down your own kin?” She snarled her needle teeth still visible. Her tiny tongue slipped out and gently licked them over as she decided what else to say.

“House pet.” She snarled before turning and running to the safety under her Kai. She ran between her legs hitting her stomach with her head she spun around and shook under Kai. Standing protectively, yet a bit scared under Kai she glared at the femme.

Kai chuckled softly a she looked the the young whelp as her pelt fluffed up, and she wondered if the herding dog had struck a nerve with her as well as she romped back over to her side. At the young whelp’s growl at the pregnant femme, she gave a soft and almost inaudible growl as the pup that seemed to last for only a second, her maw gently nuzzling at the whelp’s head for a moment as she told her to calm down and stop growling.

The last thing they really needed about here was to get into a fight. Though Kai had met irritation to the pregnant femme’s comment, her irritation was swift to come and go. She gave a soft lick to the pups’ crania to calm her down, though as she heard the pup’s question she was quite intrigued. The pup made a point. The shepherd was a pet, so why did she mock them. She looked over to Rita with a curious stare then, her head gently tipping to one side. ”The pup has a point.. Why do you put down your own kind? I mean, you may be a stray now… But you were once a pet as well. It’s in your scent… “ spoke the dark shepherd with a soft cant of her head.

Kailani’s gaze lowered to rest upon the pup and she wondered for a moment if she really wanted to join the pack. I mean, a pack would be good for the pup and probably good for her.. But she wasn’t sure if she would get along with the other canines, seeings as they didn’t like housepets. Yes, she was a stray, but she’d been a housepet until she ran away from her abusive police dog trainer. Would Darthyn look upon her as nothing more than a pet? And if he didn’t, how was it that she’d come into the pack. She doubted that it was simple as pie. ”I’m not sure if I’m going to join the pack.. How do you get into it?” she asked the three-legged brute then as she stood with the pup standing beneath her.

Your turn Skittles.))

He looked at Kai, concern upon her face. Hopefully the femme's would resolve whatever was going on. "You must ask our alpha, Darthyn, for entrance." he said, chuckling at he pup as she went back to her foster mother. "You certainly are fearsome, aren't you." he said to the pup, his tail thumping softly against the couch. He yawned, wondering when Rita was due. "So, Rita, when are you due, if you don't mine me asking." he said/asked. He was definitely glad that the number of pups in the pack. There was a period of time when he was very worried that the pack would die out due to non of the femme's having pups.

Rita sighed heavily, her heavy eyelids not moving an inch to see the small pups dirty looks. She really couldn't be bothered with this, she shouldn't have to answer to a small, annoying pup and a german shepherd who was trying too hard. There was part of her that was angry, and if you was her normal self she wouldn't stand for this sort of interigation, she was a fiery female, and she stood up for what she beliaved, unfortunatly she was pregnant, so the shepherd and the pup were lucky.

For a few moments she ignored them both, seeming not to hear them. In truth she just couldn't be bothered to answer. 'Kin' Rita's fur bristled and her eyelids flew open, her sharp gaze flitting from the pup to the shephard.
'Perhaps you were not aware, but if you mean kin in the sense that they are dogs, too, try telling that to Darthyn when you keet him, and my kin lies in the stray pack, not house pets. I am not kin to the house pets, they would not accept me as my pups shall be strays. House pets give me a bad name, strays do not like house pets, so why should I? I am not a house pet, I am a farm pet, and I do not live in a house, thank you very much,' she snapped angrily, with a frown burrowed into her brow, and lay back down again and closed her eyes, ignoring any further comments the female might make.

Her ears twitched at the males voice, though, and opening one eye she replied, her tone much more gentle toward the male.
'Any day now.'

[» cyanide]

The feisty pup stepped forward protectively, showing off her white needle teeth once more she let a deep rumble vibrate through her throat and radiate into a shrill puppy growl, followed by the expected yip. Now this female was being completely ridiculous. She was too a house pet. Being a ‘house pet’ didn’t exactly mean you stayed inside the house all bloody day. It meant food was served by humans, you were kept around and used by humans. God that female was stupid, even more stupid than an eight-week-old puppy such as Mai herself.

Glancing over to Jack to make sure he wasn’t going to attack as well she growled over to Rita once more. “Kin, kind. You are too a house pet.” She snarled her voice not intimidating what so ever, thanks to her high little child-like voice. “You were a house pet and will be a house pet for the rest of your stinking life! When a pure bred Shepherd mates with a mutt the pups don’t become pure bred like their mommy, but that doesn’t change what the momma still is!” She yipped about her comment of pups, goddamn. Could a dog get any more stupid? Really. That statement was mainly to prove a point the mom stays whatever she is while the pups are different.

Mai had proved several points, yet this female kept yipping around digging herself into a deeper pit of stupid. Rolling her eyes she shook her pelt before starting once more, “You are a house pet.” She stated firmly, “People’s puppet; whatever you want to call it! Those humans fed you; they used to watch after their food. Everything was for them!” she growled glancing back to Kai and then repositioning her little body. Hearing her last statement she sighed and shook her head.

“It is you who gives house pets a bad name.” she stated triumphantly turning and sitting beneath her momma’s tummy.

[x.Torment.x]

kailani couldn't really argue with the pup's point, but she said no more. Soft sigh then slipped past the shepherd's lips as she looked down upon the pup with a soft nuzzle. "alright.. lets calm down now. No need to get your fur all ruffled, young one. If she wants to do as she does, let her. That's her choice." she spoke to the pup quietly before looking up at the herding dog.

"As for your Darthyn.. Its understandable why he'd hate house pets.. Lets just hope that he takes a liking to us rather than turns his fangs upon us." spoke the young female as she looked up at the pregnant femme and three legged dog while standing over her pup.


(( Sorry for the short post but I was low on muse and tired. ))

Jack frowned slightly, brow furrow. This whole unfriendliness scene displeased him, but he didn’t want to get into it. Of course, if they turned on him, he always had the fact that Darth would hardly be happy if they disrespected the elder dog. “Now, now Ladies. If you are all going to be in the pack together, we must learn to get along. Fighting will do no one any good.” He said, his expression friendly, though his tone was slightly stern. It wouldn’t do to have fighting in the pack, much less a mother to be and a pup. Sure the pup had a point, but it was not okay for her to disrespect her elders. “Mai, you might be displeased with how Rita may be acting, but that it absolutely no disrespectful to be rude. If you want to be in this pack, you will learn to respect your elders.” He said, his tone the same as before.

He hated to be seen as the bad guy, but he just couldn’t stand the fighting. “Rita, I believe that Mai might have misunderstood you, but she had a bit of a point. Darth may not have the best feelings towards housepets, but he would never turn down a dog in need. You are an example of it. No matter how you put it, you have been fed by humans, taken care of my them; you are, technically a housepet. Now that’s alright with me, but you must see it from Mai’s standpoint.” He said kindly, just wanting everyone to get along.

ooc // Hope you don't mind if I cut in right now. I'm busy and I don't have time to wait for the order...Sorry, I have lots of posts to make. Please excuse my low muse.

Darthyn trotted lightly through the forest, his paws beating a gentle rhythm on the fertile soil. Beside him a golden canine matched his pace; he looked to be part shepherd, retriever, and possibly coyote. His muzzle was slightly grayed, but his eyes burned with the fiery intensity of a yearling. The two males trotted in sync, their shoulders lightly touching as they traversed the forest. Both were expectant fathers and street-wise strays. The slightly smaller dog, Loch, strolled confidently beside his companion, his eyes intent upon the path ahead. Darthyn, the larger of the two and the alpha male of the stray dogs pack, had recently accepted Rita, Loch's mate and a farm dog, into the pack. She was pregnant and would be giving birth to Loch's pups any day now. Loch hadn't seen her since before the humans began to disappear, and as he began to catch her scent, he grinned and sped up.

Struggling to keep up with the lovestruck male, Darthyn panted, but smiled wryly through his gasps for air. Loch was a lot faster than he was, because of his long legs and lithe form. Darthyn was more of a fighter than a sprinter, with large muscles and a stocky build. As the two rounded a corner, Loch let out a loud yip and sped up even more to reach his mate. He reached her in seconds. As soon as his eyes met the pretty farm dog, he howled and jumped on her in a fit of licks and happy whines, but he was careful not to be too rough around her swollen belly. A moment later, Darthyn strolled slowly onto the scene, his tongue lolling from agape jaws, but his eyes glinting with happiness. As Loch and Rita were overcome with wordless greetings, he addressed the congregation of dogs before him.

"Welcome newcomers, and hello Jack," Darthyn barked, his voice hoarse from running. He dipped his head to Jack, a gesture of great respect. "I am Darthyn, leader of the strays."
