.: Every Rose has a Thorn:. {Open}

[zaharia]

Willow easily recognized the voice that belonged to the she wolf that had introduced herself as Silvestra. It's was a strange name, but a pretty one. The young wolf that seemed to only stare straight ahead puffed out her chest. "I'm not that young!" She deflated slightly and her ears twitched cautiously. "I can defend myself if I need to." She timidly warned the other wolf. "I'm exploring, looking for a new home in these mountains that I might beable to convince my siblings to join as well. Though I'm not having much luck yet."

[Deleted]

Silvestra chuckled to herself. This little wolf has quite a personality, thought Silvestra. "Well Willow I'm sure that you'll find a home soon. These mountains are a wonderful place to live. And as for defending yourself, i'm sure you won't need to do that here. None of us will harm you." Silvestra leaned in a little closer to Willow and whispered. "At least i won't hurt you, I'm not quite sure about the others." Silvestra then turned back around and sat down near Thorn, she was interested to know more about Euphrata. It had been a while since Silvestra had made a friend with a she-wolf and she thought Euphrata could be a new friend.

[Deleted]

Euphrata felt somewhat out of her element looking at all of the wolves around - including yet another wolf who was approaching. She hadn't been around so many strange wolves in a long, long time... She had a brief moment of panic, realizing that though she was standing close to Gren, she didn't really know him, either. She took a deep breath to steady her nerves, chiding herself. She would get nowhere if she hid away. She still felt a little uneasy, though - Gren was kind, but she didn't know what he would think about there being so many wolves in his home. However, she suddenly perked up as a thought came to her. "But this is good, right? You'd said it was lonely here without anyone around." Her words and eyes were turned to Gren. And as far as she could tell, no one here was hostile.

"Hiya!" A sweet, clear toned voice burst into their conversation. Cinnamon padded into the half circle cheerily, tail swaying happily behind her, ears perked up in their slightly floppy way. Her eyes sparkled jade in the sunlight. "What's goin on here?" She asked, she curiosity sparking. The russet shewolf let her pink tongue loll out in the heat. She wondered what this strange gathering if wolves was. She had come traveling through and hasn't smelled any scent markers for a pack. Perhaps they were organizing one? Cinna blinked quickly and surveyed the assembled canids.

[zaharia]

Her ears perked again, hopefull for the mountains she would soon call home refueled by the stranger and her nose twitched as she tries to sort out all the new smells. She could tell that there were many wolves in the clearing but all the new scents were starting to give her a headache. She nodded at the she wolves promise, glad to have made a sort of alliance. "I hope that the rest feel the same." She tipped her head in the direction of the other male who seemed to be claiming this area as his own and the female with him. Does he live here alone? Is there a pack here? She took a step closer to the four wolves talking together. If there is no pack here, could one be forming? The wolves seem rather friendly...and they all seem to be getting along pretty well for strangers in another's territory.

[Deleted]

SIlvestra was suprised. Another wolf had joined the gathering in the clearing. The new wolf seemed nice enough though. Silvestra was beginning to wonder if a pack was forming here, she certianly hoped so. She had been looking for a pack for a while. Silvestra looked over the new wolf, she determined that the wolf wasn't going to hurt anyone and Silvestra sat down and waited for someone to say something interesting.

[Deleted]

Thorn turned to Euphrata " I have been travelling alone as well, and it is lonesome, I think we should all travel together. " he said to the female wolf she looked so uncertain of things so he spoke in a calm manner. He didn't know how this would turn out, all these strange wolves meeting together, but deep down he felt inner peace. What a good feeling it was to be around so many of his kind, and none seemed evil or as threat.

He tilted his head and seen Cinna as well, what a curious wolf to walk up and jump into the conversation. He also paid attention to Willow in Silvestra's convo, without them knowing. He turned his head to the young wolf, " Willow, I think your safe here, no one seems to be a threat, and of course you can defend yourself, I think we all can." he smiled at the young one than turned his attention back to Gren and Euphrata.

[Deleted]

Cinna
Cinna smiled happily and plopped herself down, totally relaxed and seemingly carefree. The spicy brown wolf yawned loudly and spoke her mind. "I'm Cinnamon! Most call me Cinna! It's nice to meet you all!"

Trina
Katrina sat in the grass further behind her now adult sister. She was waiting for her brother Sporticus to show his face. They had been through alot together. Trina's crumbling mental state was keeping her on edge. "Willow?" She hissed quietly.

Still more wolves appeared, seemingly out of the blue. Gren was growing more and more mystified at the number of wolves here. After having lived in Wildflower Clearing for months and seeing nary a soul passing through, to suddenly be surrounded by strangers was a bit overwhelming. He was practiced at stoicism though, and tried not to show his bewilderment. He sense the tenseness in Euphatra and knew that she too was feeling a bit anxious about all the newcomers. He took a small step closer to her, hoping to offer some small comfort, but he kept his eyes up as he watched the others. Her observation was an astute one and he nodded in response. A pack was more than a group of wolves of the same alliance, but who was to say that before long he would know all of these strangers better than he had known any of his old friends.

After Thorn said his piece, Gren decided he needed to speak up. "I don't intend to travel," he said to the only other male present. "This was the home of my last pack, and it has been my home ever since. I will stay here." He glanced around at the other wolves gathered. "As far as I'm concerned, everyone here is welcome to stick around. I'm sure we can all become friends in time."

[zaharia]

She was about to reply to Thorn when she heard her the name being called. Her head turned quickly towards the sound of her sisters voice and her ears perked. "Trina! Come and meet these wolves." Her voice held a small plead for her to give them all a chance.

[Deleted]

Silvestra was even further stunned as more wolves entered the clearing. She heard Gren say that everyone was welcome to stay in the clearing. Silvestra looked at Gren and said " I would like to stay and live here. I'm sure that we can become friends. Who knows, maybe a pack will form between us all." Silvestra was glad to have found a new home and all these wolves seemed like promising friends.

[Deleted]

Thorn stood back up, he nodded to Gren. He could smell a lot of wolves scents flowing thru his large brown nostrils. Although, most of the scents were female. " I am glad you welcome us. I have been travelling alone for quite some time now and am looking for a place to call home." he gave a slight smile to Gren. His ears pricked around towards the slight movement of grass from the other wolves steps. He kept his eyes a drift, always scanning the surroundings. His long brown fur swayed in the slight breeze.

[Deleted]

Cinna
Cinna blinked placidly. "A pack? That sounds like an adventure." Cinnamon waved her banner-like tail in exitement. Her pretty hazel eyes glowing.

Trina
"If you say so." Katrina trotted forward, eyeing the other wolves warily. The males were handsome, but she didn't care.

[zaharia]

Her ears perked and she turned her head to face the others again. "A pack would be a great idea!" She stood up, her tail wagging in her excitement." There's so many wolves here already and my brother will show up sooner or later. It would be a great adventure!"

[forte]

Gren began to smile as the reactions to his welcome were mostly positive. He even heard speculations about forming a pack, and he wondered who among them might rise up to lead said pack. Thorn seemed an obvious choice. Gren was not a very ambitious wolf, but he couldn't pretend that he wouldn't be interested in the role. But that was a bridge they could cross another day.

His heart swollen with happiness, he turned to Euphatra. "This is so great!" he said. "I can't believe how much can happen in less than a day."
