Zalie spent most of her time sleeping near a rock. Paws draped over one another, sides rising and falling with each breath as the bitch slept peacefully. Tail swayed behind her frame, eyes cracked open she looked around seeing the sleeping bodies laying about. Pushing her frame up she shook her body roughly and moved towards the water source. Lapping at the water she allowed her mind to wander going over old memories. Nails dug down into the muddy bank, ears twitched forward listening to the echos. Stomach growled demanding food so off the bitch went! Legs pushed frame over and over sleeping members careful to not wake any. Nose twitched she followed the scent of a deer. Tongue slipped out she licked at her lips before pushing off and scaring the deer herd. Tackling one to the ground she silenced it before beginning to feast allowing the meat to sate her hunger.
Klash. Oh Klash. Now where, oh where, had he been? More so, where was he now. Nostrils flared under the impressively deep breath sucked within ever expanding lungs, the scents littered upon the earth surrounding the beasts massive frame flowing in freely with it.. Discontented grumble was soon to follow, the ivory coated fangs held beneath exposing mildly in a grimace of sorts. Canine life was on the air, and how uninteresting it was to him to say the least. It had been some time he'd ventured off, the towering shadow-like being's coat crawling with matted fur and bristles of earthen greens he cared not to groom out, had found himself sauntering about, avoiding most contact was in not to strike down any clearly overly fancy of a meal for himself. Any rodents or mildly small prey was added to his don't give a fuck about list. But now oh now, where was he onto now. Powerful limbs continued their ever flowing motion, steps falling in a thump only those familiar to it could know to whom, or to whose lineage it could belong. Tough.. at last a new perplexing scent, something that finally caught his attention set his unclear direction to switch to; scent of fresh prey? Ah, and the fleeing of some herd. Step was finally lightened some, the needle like furs lacing back bristled as muscles contracted. Eyes snapped to the side as he searched through the wildlife. Now why was there something about this that peeked the beasts interest? was it not simple ways of life? As creature moved forwards, the hunger for a meal seemed to tease his senses. And with it.. Hm.. Perhaps a lingering intent to taunt around with someones food? Life couldn't' always be as so simple to hunt and just eat simply, could it? Oh no..! Definitely not. Especially if there was a Klash around.
Zalie tore into the cooling flesh of the deer. Tail swaying behind her frame as teeth ripped through the flesh. Muscles rippled underneath her pelt while eyes remained focused on getting her fill. Nails dug down into the fur before body became tensed. Jaws froze with meat halfway in her mouth as she rose her head to look around carefully. Body became tense as she stood over the dead deer listening to the herd still running away in fear. Snort rolled from her lips as she watched the trees looking for anything deemed worriesome then turned back to the food! the lovely food. Resuming eating the meat she let out a low growl as brown fur rose up like spikes while eyes kept an wary eye on the surrondings lest something decides to come running out. Body given a rough shake, vocals rumbled with a low growl as she tore off a tough piece and swallowed it. Tongue slipping out to lap at the blood on her muzzle as she snorted scanning the area then back to food, your not going insane honey...
Klash's large ebony painted ears twisted forwards in alert. Massive frame, though hard to hide from a straying eye, knew to use the airs direction to aid in keeping himself concealed.. At least a little while. Grim smirk finally split across deadly lips. The savory delight of freshly caught meal almost tempted the beast as much as the lass who, from far, he quickly noted teared away at it. One step, two.. Three, and then a few. Before long the distance was being closed in, his chosen area to move through: where the grass twisted highly above the earth. Best for his own concealement, though in the same wave length, blocked some of his own vision. Hm.. Another breath drew in, the metallic taste hung in the air making tongue salivate.. Though with it.. Another certain scent. Eyes suddenly narrowed as he drew closer, could it be who he thought it was? Something was off about the fur coat from afar. Claws pressed into the earth beneath him, a growl rumbling within vocals slowly.. No.. Mind didn't want to believe.. Regardless, stalker kept at his thing, closing in on .. his own prey? Inner amusement seemed to plague his mind. Whether scent belonged to his memory or not, it's source was one he was ready to bug regardless.
Zalie nose twitched catching the different scents that drifted through the air, teeth paused in the middle of ripping a piece of meat off as head rose up sniffing the air more closely. Ears twitched forward she snapped her jaws shut as she listened to the wildlife suddenly fall quiet. Head turned this way and that searching for anything that would hone in on the scent that plagued her mind. Lips peeling back in slowly mounting anger as she placed the scent finally to that of...her mate that disappeared! Nails dug down into the cooled flesh, head tilted to the side she carefully lowered her head back down to resume eating, voice in her head cackling as she mulled over if it was really him or another bastard son of naki making his appearance. Her patience already fried after the last few days. The voice continuing to cackle loudly in amusement at the idea of something trying to sneak up on her! Her of all people!
Klash's massive mitts finally planted in the soil, one of front paws crushing the remainder grass bellow his weight. Toxic green stare fixed on the display before him. A lovely picturesque and yet, ever more so alluring that he'd previously thought! Oh ho, now now.. Could it be true? Had it been so, intellect knew of course the lass before him to not be daft enough to let herself be stalked so easily.. regardless... Once grim stare lifted some and yet, emotionless facial painting kept straight as ever, unplagued by mere emotion.. At last, he stepped out of the bush, powerful strides relentlessly falling down as in even motions, head high, furs bristled still as it was nourished with uncertainty, jowl parted. "Not scared of theifs?" The beast let out, his voice, coated with mischief, threat perhaps.. And yet, beneath it all, was there the mildest of smirks that reached those deadly jowls?? Perhaps, though of course, only those who knew where to find it, could ever be able to perceive it.
Zalie eyes rose up from the carcass below her as she leveled her eyes on the figure approaching. Tail swayed behind frame carefully as she watched the male approach. Snort rolled from her lips as she tilted her head to the side, "Not when one is my idiot mate" She replied in tune, voice carried easily, tone peaceful save for the underlying tone of anger that only very few would known the warning to. Stepping over the deer she stood in front of it as she watched her mate or perhaps it was just her mind finally going! Shaking her head she stretched out some allowing her nails to drag over the ground, "Not many tried to steal from me yet." She said simply as she looked around carefully. Muscles tensed up for a split second then relaxed as she licked her lips free of the blood. Looking him over carefully she stared and continued to stare. Mind sorting through different ways to lash out at him for leaving her alone but lets make sure he was real first right?!
Klash Own vocals were rough as ever, hadn't been used in what seemed moons. But when had that ever been new to his persona? Who he was.. The bastard was a rebellious one, bold as ever, who found his pleasure only when taunted, or whence he could taunt others to face potential dangers. Or so he had been back in the day. How time flew as of late, a potential head concussion knocking his sense of mapping out all together, his brain had lacked a little GPS..! To say the least. Ungroomed coat was still bristled, his muscles rippling beneath it with each motion; always on the ready.. always on the move. Except when he was lazy; apparently not today. Tail lashed at the air in one flick. Mind was suddenly drowned under the clearly familiar voice. A melody to his ears as it flowed to caress his eardrums, littered with an insult and yet, ever so enchanting! So alluring. How could it ever affect the massive beast otherwise? Body suddenly seemed to grow ever more on edge, paws, unsettled suddenly bringing him closer, and then around her slowly, circling now both the female and her meal. "Ah.." He smirked, brain clicking into alert. "Then perhaps you should be." He let out at last, a growl accentuating at the end slowly, testing for her reaction.. Could this be true?! Zalie. Ah he'd missed those snow kissed paws, the snippy yet enchanting voice, that pretty.. little tail.. Step finally ended and he snorted amusingly, yet daunting gaze still lingered with mischief. "I'm quite hungry." he ended conclusively.
Zalie snorted as she watched him approach. Body relaxed and at ease as she turned her head to follow his movements as she shook her body. Lips twitching she snorted licking her lips. "Oh? and is the big grumpy bear Klash going to take my meal?" She asked almost playfully as her tail moved behind her in a pissed movement while her ears twitched at the sounds. Nails dug down into the ground as she focused on settling the temper down and focus on not killing her missing mate. Nose twitched she turned to focus on him then body pushed into motion she barreled into him, knocking him down as she looked down at him. Lips peeled back into a snarl that looked so out of place on the bitch's face. "Care to explain why you suddenly disappeared and left me alone Klash darling?" Her voice dripped with sweetness as she narrowed her eyes.
Klash's mind was one to usually be in constant calculation, outcome after possible outcome and yet, at the moment, it seemed to be at a complete blank. Blinded instincts instead took the over paw; for with this one he let his interactions came to him only naturally. She was likely the only other soul the beast would offer more than a seconds worth of attention to at the moment. He'd enjoyed his solidarity, and yet.. a taste of that voice seduced him into enjoying this oh-so-much more!! The beast somehow seemed too dazed to care about the fact that he had just been rammed into, his body slamming back as that beautiful face snarled into his. How could he only smirk? A grim one, and yet, inspired somehow. Simply put. He knew she'd be pissed. And now he was pinned down. Lovely. Snapping back to his senses, the bastard shook his head, adrenaline seeping slowly within thick musculature suddenly tensing over once again from their lack of previous reaction. A single powerful paw pressed against her chest as to keep her from flattening him down, teeth parting as his own snarl began to grow under a ripple effect of the tension. Own narrowed poisonous gaze kept steady at hers, defiant towards her accusations, and yet.. softened from his usual state. "Left you alone?" He snorted some and yet, he somehow refused to provide a clear answer. "Well I knew you'd take care of yourself." Ears twisted her way, suddenly, with a simple question.. There his mind went. Tic, tic, tic.. Like a time bomb searching an answer. How could he explain? He wasn't even sure himself. He grumbled slowly to himself. Talk about a greeting, so lovely and then suddenly so tortuous. He loved it.
Zalie snorted as she stared down at him silently. Tail swayed behind her frame slowly like a cat waiting for its prey she tilted her head to the side in thought. "You did, got up one day and just disappeared. I searched for you. But your scent vanished." She said slowly eyes narrowed into slits as she snapped her jaws together as a snarl worked its way through her vocals, "Perhaps, but when i was in season, there was no one to protect me from the strangers. There is only so much i could do to fend them off." she stated bluntly, purple eyes seeming to glow with hidden anger as she huffed pushing off of him as she stepped back keeping her head held up," I should have excepted you would be like naki..Wander off appear when feeling like it." she trailed off twitching her ears some as her body tensed up some waiting for a reaction.
Klash's attention did not stray, eardrums soaking up every last of the other's words. She was upset. And she was hurt. Bastard was clever enough to pick that up for someone so out of tune with the sense of emotion; but he suddenly found annoyance and mild irritating swell over him with each following word that reach him. So. Own pride had turned the tides against him for once, so had not only he, but his mate be disposed to its consequences. Narrowed gaze seemed to linger even as the other finally pushed off to release him, and only as those words swallowed over him did his massive form pivot and jolt himself upon all fours once again. Towering configuration loomed closer so to his mate, muscles within paws suddenly flexing as claws dug into the earth. "Point me towards any who dared" Angered snarl arose in dangerous tune, rumbling vocal box boomed with an awoken anger had this been true. Massive beast, a master of war, bringer of death, suddenly enraged with by the vision of him tearing the fuck out of someone's skull, rip off limb by limb to leave them bleed out into the middle of nowhere. Bastard felt a hole slowly form, the void settling over his conscious, consuming him as eyes finally drifted towards the surrounding area as if searching for someone, anything in motion that he could sink his ivory mechanics in. Head shook slowly.. No. How unsocial of him. A deep sigh finally escaped his jowl, attention returning to zalie, his eyes resting over her form, concentrating on her voice. The amethyst color of her gaze. He stepped closer still, closing the small gap of distance with her, he honestly didn't care if she was mad for now. Nostrils flared as deep breath was drawn in directly from her, analyzing with more keen interest the other scents that mingled to the endless strands of her pelt; boiling blood tuned it down some as he concentrated It was the aroma of packlife he'd scented early and avidly had tried to steer clear from. It hadn't interested him, and yet now there was recognition of a familiar feel to it. Interesting. Jowl neared her ears, low cords now meant for only her hearing. "I lost my way. I lost you.." Any anger was directed to himself. The most pathetic of things for massive beast to admit. He fell to a seated position. "I put myself in trouble. More so than usual I suppose.." He grunted lightly at the fact he had to say this out loud. "I think I knocked my head, ended up somewhere new." The anger finally dimmed down, seeping away as gaze kept to hers almost asking for some sort of forgiveness. Klash had missed his Zalie. He pondered how else to put it, but it was just that. A blunt response. Honest, because he owed her this much.
Zalie stood there watching him quietly before she lowered her head letting out a low sigh. Shaking her body roughly she moved closer to him and butted her head lightly against his chest. Nose twitching as she listened to him explain. Shaking her head she raised her head up to lick at his cheek chuckling some, "One way or another, you seem to get into trouble no matter if i'm there or not." She said quietly before pressing against him as she took in his scent storing it in her memory while she relaxed against him, allowing his closeness to brush away the anger she felt towards him. After all, she couldn't stay mad at him forever! It just wasn't in her style to do so. Tail swayed behind her frame before she sat down in front of him and tilted her head to the side," Your..niece? i suppose is the word has decided to restart the crew..Still a young whelp but she is trying. " She said quietly feeling relaxed and un-shockingly safe once more near the beast that was her mate.
Klash was seated perfectly still for something of a moment, a feeling of reassurance washing over him as the females head pressed against him, along with the lick. Ah.. why did that always affect him so? That once tensed musculature relaxed, his own head meeting to brush atop hers now. Male drew in another deep breath, tail moving to seek hers out and curl to it in reaction. "I suppose. So it's that or I'm getting old. Memory loss is an oddity for me.." Brows furrowed lightly as he thought that over. An odd thing it was to forget landmarks he knew should've meant something to him. Regardless. he'd continue working at it; he'd made it this far, no? "A whelp? Leading the crew?" Beast paused now, surely that was an entertaining idea. "Whose?" Surely none would be up to par; The crew was infamous. Grand. Could that pup bring the pack back to its former glory? Hm.. Curious thought.. And Klash found himself interested. Going solo for so long made things seem just that little bit more interesting.
Zalie chuckled as she nodded her head thinking to herself, "Well, we both are getting old." she said teasingly as she laughed softly and leaned against him contently ears twitching some in thought before she snorted to herself, "She is from Orchis. Though she slightly bares the marks you have just not fully." she answered raising her head up to nudge the famous triangle markings that claimed a select few that came from the bastard himself. Tail twitched against his she blinked some, "She is young, though she does have the temper. I had to stop her and naki's last spawn revenge from going after each other." She added dryly snorting to herself, "The wonders of being of the lowest rank yet holding so much power others don't seem to notice." she snickered faintly.
Klash added his own light laughter into the mix. Well that was true. The clock of time ticked as days went on. But things seemed suddenly brighter for a moment.. A laugh, how rare that was for him indeed as of late. Of course it took his mate to bring it out of him. Who else could reach such a level with him, or rather, who else really bothered? He smirked at the thought. He was ready to mock the pup of course, and yet, the mention of Orchis was a new surprise! His older sister, one who had quickly gained his respect when he was but a pup himself. Soo long ago. Beast's eyes narrowed a bit and head tilted. "Not fully?" he questioned promptly. Though,he did snort lightly when he heard the name Revenge. A younger brother. "Should've expected there to be blood still running around." He tried to remember the rest of his siblings, though some had just been more pertinent in his life and crew than others. Some died young. The weaklings, he supposed he didn't think about the living enough though. Zalie's comment about holding power made the massive creature smirk, the ideal of that so true. It wasn't faulty to say that every member of the crew held it's structure together, not just the higher ranks. Finally, body lifted from the earth in one quick, fluid motion, pushing Zalie down in the process as he'd now take his turn at pinning her down! Nose lowered to hers and Klash let a soft chuckle release from his vocals. "Of course, the hidden talents of my beautiful queen. That orchis pup will need her advisers." Nose moved a little and then he'd lick the females jowl. "I missed you." Words finally escaped him without a second thought.
Zalie nodded as she twitched her nose thinking. Grin on her lips as she looked up at him and snorted some, "Yes, not fully colored in, downward arrows." she said in reply to the markings as she shook her body some and looked around carefully. Muscles rippled underneath her pelt as she relaxed against her mate. Tail twitched against the ground she nodded her head, "Yes, he was very grumpy, demanding to know where naki went." She said softly before vocals released a yip at the sudden movement. Blinking up at him she laughed shaking her head as she raised her head to lick at his jowl in return grinning, "She has antics with her and justicar. I think she will need the battle adviser no?" She teased softly as she shifted on the ground and let out a low murr as she nuzzled him," And i missed you more then i could think of. Whelps disappeared then you.. I thought the world was punishing me for something i did wrong." she trailed off frowning some.
Klash's eyes narrowed lightly at the description. "I see." He paused a moment, as memories washed over him. "Orchis didn't bear the markings, it's interesting enough if some remnants of them lingered." He pressed his body's up to hers, somewhat half pinning her down as he soaked her up beneath the heat of his body, all the while avoiding crushing her. If there was remnants of the tattoed-like ink on her perhaps there was potential. "Hm.. So where did that dad of mine go?" He asked, wondering if there had been an answer, but he imagined not likely; if another was leading the Crew, that meant the infamous leader of it was off as well. What did it matter though. Pack life? Would klash go back to that. He'd have to think of it. A sigh left his jowl and yet it was a content one. "I'll have to check the place out." He finally added, amusement at last seeping its way within his eyes at the idea. Battle advisor.. that could work. But he was quite out of the loop with 'fancy pack behavior', not not that he often complied regardless. Any who, the male rolled to the side, head finally leaning against his mate fondly. "I'm sorry for that. You found allies again though; its part of your strength, holding the bonds of everyone together, finding a home." A home while he was off, searching for his way back. Lost on the way to doing so in both mind and body. As for the pups well.. The circle of life, was it either by death or the making of their own lives as they grew up, that was always something hard to confirm.
Zalie snorted as she relaxed twitching her ears some shaking her head, "Skipping a gen is normal i suppose." She said in thought twitching her nose as she laid there. Stretching out some she let out a yawn as she closed her eyes snorting, "Your father disappeared, just got up and left ." She answered cracking her eyes open some as she flicked her tail round idly. "If you think you are not coming back with me, you are sorely mistaken love. your not leaving my sight any time soon." She said cheerfully as she nudged him grinning while she tried to fight off sleep letting out a loud yawn as she shifted closer to him relaxing knowing she's perfectly safe, i mean who would try to fuck with the brute she's mated to?
Klash nodded, a yawn releasing from his jowl too. Head relaxed on her, body curled around hers as well, protective to say the least. WELL, at least there had been some developments pack-wise and such. "Another of his great adventures." He added matter-of-factly. Sleep seemed to crawl over his entire being, slowly creeping about him. Of course, that didn't stop the smirk from tugging at his leathery chaps. "Welll good! Stay close, my love." He'd lead the wayyy. Or would he? Zal seemed intent on bringing him back with her. He chuckled at last, tail giving a sway lightly. He did quite enjoy the girls company, as ever as he did before, dealing with others was very little a sacrifice if it meant keeping near to her. And though things sometimes rumbled, it was a flawless display of how well they were just meant to be!
Klash. Oh Klash. Now where, oh where, had he been? More so, where was he now. Nostrils flared under the impressively deep breath sucked within ever expanding lungs, the scents littered upon the earth surrounding the beasts massive frame flowing in freely with it..

There is only so much i could do to fend them off." she stated bluntly, purple eyes seeming to glow with hidden anger as she huffed pushing off of him as she stepped back keeping her head held up," I should have excepted you would be like naki..Wander off appear when feeling like it." she trailed off twitching her ears some as her body tensed up some waiting for a reaction.
Klash's attention did not stray, eardrums soaking up every last of the other's words. She was upset. And she was hurt. Bastard was clever enough to pick that up for someone so out of tune with the sense of emotion; but he suddenly found annoyance and mild irritating swell over him with each following word that reach him. So. Own pride had turned the tides against him for once, so had not only he, but his mate be disposed to its consequences. Narrowed gaze seemed to linger even as the other finally pushed off to release him, and only as those words swallowed over him did his massive form pivot and jolt himself upon all fours once again. Towering configuration loomed closer so to his mate, muscles within paws suddenly flexing as claws dug into the earth. "Point me towards any who dared" Angered snarl arose in dangerous tune, rumbling vocal box boomed with an awoken anger had this been true. Massive beast, a master of war, bringer of death, suddenly enraged with by the vision of him tearing the fuck out of someone's skull, rip off limb by limb to leave them bleed out into the middle of nowhere. Bastard felt a hole slowly form, the void settling over his conscious, consuming him as eyes finally drifted towards the surrounding area as if searching for someone, anything in motion that he could sink his ivory mechanics in. Head shook slowly.. No. How unsocial of him. A deep sigh finally escaped his jowl, attention returning to zalie, his eyes resting over her form, concentrating on her voice. The amethyst color of her gaze. He stepped closer still, closing the small gap of distance with her, he honestly didn't care if she was mad for now. Nostrils flared as deep breath was drawn in directly from her, analyzing with more keen interest the other scents that mingled to the endless strands of her pelt; boiling blood tuned it down some as he concentrated It was the aroma of packlife he'd scented early and avidly had tried to steer clear from. It hadn't interested him, and yet now there was recognition of a familiar feel to it. Interesting. Jowl neared her ears, low cords now meant for only her hearing. "I lost my way. I lost you.." Any anger was directed to himself. The most pathetic of things for massive beast to admit. He fell to a seated position. "I put myself in trouble. More so than usual I suppose.." He grunted lightly at the fact he had to say this out loud. "I think I knocked my head, ended up somewhere new." The anger finally dimmed down, seeping away as gaze kept to hers almost asking for some sort of forgiveness. Klash had missed his Zalie. He pondered how else to put it, but it was just that. A blunt response. Honest, because he owed her this much.
Zalie stood there watching him quietly before she lowered her head letting out a low sigh. Shaking her body roughly she moved closer to him and butted her head lightly against his chest. Nose twitching as she listened to him explain. Shaking her head she raised her head up to lick at his cheek chuckling some, "One way or another, you seem to get into trouble no matter if i'm there or not." She said quietly before pressing against him as she took in his scent storing it in her memory while she relaxed against him, allowing his closeness to brush away the anger she felt towards him. After all, she couldn't stay mad at him forever! It just wasn't in her style to do so. Tail swayed behind her frame before she sat down in front of him and tilted her head to the side," Your..niece? i suppose is the word has decided to restart the crew..Still a young whelp but she is trying. " She said quietly feeling relaxed and un-shockingly safe once more near the beast that was her mate.
Klash was seated perfectly still for something of a moment, a feeling of reassurance washing over him as the females head pressed against him, along with the lick. Ah.. why did that always affect him so? That once tensed musculature relaxed, his own head meeting to brush atop hers now. Male drew in another deep breath, tail moving to seek hers out and curl to it in reaction. "I suppose. So it's that or I'm getting old. Memory loss is an oddity for me.." Brows furrowed lightly as he thought that over. An odd thing it was to forget landmarks he knew should've meant something to him. Regardless. he'd continue working at it; he'd made it this far, no? "A whelp? Leading the crew?" Beast paused now, surely that was an entertaining idea. "Whose?" Surely none would be up to par; The crew was infamous. Grand. Could that pup bring the pack back to its former glory? Hm.. Curious thought.. And Klash found himself interested. Going solo for so long made things seem just that little bit more interesting.
Zalie chuckled as she nodded her head thinking to herself, "Well, we both are getting old." she said teasingly as she laughed softly and leaned against him contently ears twitching some in thought before she snorted to herself, "She is from Orchis. Though she slightly bares the marks you have just not fully." she answered raising her head up to nudge the famous triangle markings that claimed a select few that came from the bastard himself. Tail twitched against his she blinked some, "She is young, though she does have the temper. I had to stop her and naki's last spawn revenge from going after each other." She added dryly snorting to herself, "The wonders of being of the lowest rank yet holding so much power others don't seem to notice." she snickered faintly.
Klash added his own light laughter into the mix. Well that was true. The clock of time ticked as days went on. But things seemed suddenly brighter for a moment.. A laugh, how rare that was for him indeed as of late. Of course it took his mate to bring it out of him. Who else could reach such a level with him, or rather, who else really bothered? He smirked at the thought. He was ready to mock the pup of course, and yet, the mention of Orchis was a new surprise! His older sister, one who had quickly gained his respect when he was but a pup himself. Soo long ago. Beast's eyes narrowed a bit and head tilted. "Not fully?" he questioned promptly. Though,he did snort lightly when he heard the name Revenge. A younger brother. "Should've expected there to be blood still running around." He tried to remember the rest of his siblings, though some had just been more pertinent in his life and crew than others. Some died young. The weaklings, he supposed he didn't think about the living enough though. Zalie's comment about holding power made the massive creature smirk, the ideal of that so true. It wasn't faulty to say that every member of the crew held it's structure together, not just the higher ranks. Finally, body lifted from the earth in one quick, fluid motion, pushing Zalie down in the process as he'd now take his turn at pinning her down! Nose lowered to hers and Klash let a soft chuckle release from his vocals. "Of course, the hidden talents of my beautiful queen. That orchis pup will need her advisers." Nose moved a little and then he'd lick the females jowl. "I missed you." Words finally escaped him without a second thought.
Zalie nodded as she twitched her nose thinking. Grin on her lips as she looked up at him and snorted some, "Yes, not fully colored in, downward arrows." she said in reply to the markings as she shook her body some and looked around carefully. Muscles rippled underneath her pelt as she relaxed against her mate. Tail twitched against the ground she nodded her head, "Yes, he was very grumpy, demanding to know where naki went." She said softly before vocals released a yip at the sudden movement. Blinking up at him she laughed shaking her head as she raised her head to lick at his jowl in return grinning, "She has antics with her and justicar. I think she will need the battle adviser no?" She teased softly as she shifted on the ground and let out a low murr as she nuzzled him," And i missed you more then i could think of. Whelps disappeared then you.. I thought the world was punishing me for something i did wrong." she trailed off frowning some.
Klash's eyes narrowed lightly at the description. "I see." He paused a moment, as memories washed over him. "Orchis didn't bear the markings, it's interesting enough if some remnants of them lingered." He pressed his body's up to hers, somewhat half pinning her down as he soaked her up beneath the heat of his body, all the while avoiding crushing her. If there was remnants of the tattoed-like ink on her perhaps there was potential. "Hm.. So where did that dad of mine go?" He asked, wondering if there had been an answer, but he imagined not likely; if another was leading the Crew, that meant the infamous leader of it was off as well. What did it matter though. Pack life? Would klash go back to that. He'd have to think of it. A sigh left his jowl and yet it was a content one. "I'll have to check the place out." He finally added, amusement at last seeping its way within his eyes at the idea. Battle advisor.. that could work. But he was quite out of the loop with 'fancy pack behavior', not not that he often complied regardless. Any who, the male rolled to the side, head finally leaning against his mate fondly. "I'm sorry for that. You found allies again though; its part of your strength, holding the bonds of everyone together, finding a home." A home while he was off, searching for his way back. Lost on the way to doing so in both mind and body. As for the pups well.. The circle of life, was it either by death or the making of their own lives as they grew up, that was always something hard to confirm.
Zalie snorted as she relaxed twitching her ears some shaking her head, "Skipping a gen is normal i suppose." She said in thought twitching her nose as she laid there. Stretching out some she let out a yawn as she closed her eyes snorting, "Your father disappeared, just got up and left ." She answered cracking her eyes open some as she flicked her tail round idly. "If you think you are not coming back with me, you are sorely mistaken love. your not leaving my sight any time soon." She said cheerfully as she nudged him grinning while she tried to fight off sleep letting out a loud yawn as she shifted closer to him relaxing knowing she's perfectly safe, i mean who would try to fuck with the brute she's mated to?
Klash nodded, a yawn releasing from his jowl too. Head relaxed on her, body curled around hers as well, protective to say the least. WELL, at least there had been some developments pack-wise and such. "Another of his great adventures." He added matter-of-factly. Sleep seemed to crawl over his entire being, slowly creeping about him. Of course, that didn't stop the smirk from tugging at his leathery chaps. "Welll good! Stay close, my love." He'd lead the wayyy. Or would he? Zal seemed intent on bringing him back with her. He chuckled at last, tail giving a sway lightly. He did quite enjoy the girls company, as ever as he did before, dealing with others was very little a sacrifice if it meant keeping near to her. And though things sometimes rumbled, it was a flawless display of how well they were just meant to be!
