Just Another Walk (open)

[Boomer]

Boomer;

The male smiled as he entered wildflower clearing, he knew this used to be a pack's territory but now after some time it now became a territory where some other pack can claim it. He dug a small hole and placed his entire front paws in the dirt. Smiling widely. He looked around hoping that he was right, that no one claimed this territory, all though he could be able to tell when a pack has claimed the territory, but Boomer wasn't all that smart, so all he could do is just hope for the best and hope he wasn't trespassing. The blonde male looked around the area to spot any wolves around and so far he didn't see anybody. He then stuck his paws out and trotting ahead, swaying his tail every time he trotted. He continued to have a charming smile on his face before sitting down to rest for a little while. He looked around again before placing his front paws in front of him and stretched. He flicked his ears and blinked twice.

The male cleared his throat before howling, he howled for a minute before quickly looking around again to see if anybody heard that. Then he realized that if someone did own the territory that they would think he'd want to join or... Something.

He had a slightly scared look to his face before waiting about a minute and seeing no one, making him sigh in relief. He nodded and curled his tail in front of him, Boomer twitching his nose trying to catch any unusual scents.

Zeus;

Dry crisp leaves crunched beneath the large black paws of the he-wolf breaking the still quiet of the abandoned territory. The territory that he had put his dreams in, his future. But he had messed it all up, taken his position for granted, let go of his hold on faithfulness and loyalty. In his Alphess? No. In his pack, no. But in himself is truly what he gave up on.

Zeus walked the scape of Wildflower Clearing, desolate of the small beautiful flowers as autumn showed itself clearly and Zeus’ emotions matching it perfectly. The skeleton trees dropping their leaves was like his spirit falling. The dead withered crunch beneath his paws was like his hopes being crushed, and the cold breeze that whispered through the browning grass was like his expression. Everything seemed dead and empty, and any hope of his pack rising from the dust was squelched by his own doubt.

A long drawn out howl split the curtain of silence that hung over the area. The deep cry was carried on the brisk air and probably could be heard throughout the small territory. Zeus stopped in his tracks and his head flung in the direction of the howl. It was quite close actually. His ears pressed forward as the song ended and the curtain of silence was mended. With more effort than he realized, Zeus continued forward and passed a cluster of trees before spotting the owner of the howl. The male sat tall and straight with his tail wrapped around his legs. His expression almost seems worried, and his demeanor read unease and tension. Zeus was pretty sure that it was obvious the territory was a disbanded pack and no longer claimed. So either this stranger was dumb, or he was howling for no other reason than to howl.

With a solemn expression Zeus held himself with casualty as he stared at the male. “Can I help you?” He asked with a tone of blatant confusion that was still cold as the autumn temperature as he breathed a puff of warm vapor from his mouth.

Bonnie;

She walked slowly, she walked gracefully, the blonde female lifted her snout and sniffed the cold autumn air. She smiled barely to herself, enjoying the season. She continued to walk and just moments later she had stepped onto dried leaves making a “crunch” sound, the female lifted her paw and had a face of discomfort, she had tried to be silent, tried not to make any noise whatsoever. But alas she had failed, the female shook her blonde head sideways and then continued to walk forward. After a rush of cold air ran through her pelt she shivered barely almost regretting dipping herself in a pool of water only minutes before. But before she bathed herself she had played around in mud, which made her body all over muddy, so that was when she decided to bathe herself in water. So she had lost her natural scent and it was in fact she didn’t smell like anything. The female couldn’t be smelled by other wolves if they were around, they would have to be extremely close to her if that was the case. After walking for seven minutes the female heard a howl which made her ears perk up and tilt her head slightly. She then trotted to the direction where the howl was heard and just moments later she saw two males, she then quickly hid behind a tree and she was unseen. She stuck her head barely out trying to see and listen to the conversation while trying to be still as a statue and unseen.

[Boomer]

Boomer;

“...Why did I howl again?” he asked himself, he looked down trying to remember why he howled “Oh right, it was just for fun.” he smiled barely to himself before hearing a voice of a male say “Can I help you?” Boomer slowly and carefully shifted his head to face the stranger “Um.. I was just howling.. for the fun of it,” he said chuckling nervously “But, just to be extreamly sure.. this is an unclaimed territory...right?” Boomer said ducking his head barely and his cheeks showed some embarrassment. The male blinked twice before introducing himself “Well, my name’s Boomer. Uh, nice to meet you.” he said with half a smile on his face.

“Oh you stupid, stupid idiot. You should know whether or not this territory is claimed.” He thought before groaning barely. His nose twitched trying to catch random scents, the only scent he could smell is the grey male’s, Boomer looked around before glancing at the stranger.

The male cleared his throat before thinking again “Please don’t be trespassing, please don’t be trespassing, please don’t be trespassing.” If he had fingers he would be crossing them right now, Boomer nodded his head and flattens his right ear.

Zeus;

Howling for the fun of it? Zeus had never heard of such a thing. Well at least not in his life. Howling had always been for sarrow, or pain, or triumph, or command, but never just for the fun of it. To him howling was a voice he used only for the most specific and articulate of moments. But that was just how he was raised, it wasn't his place to judge others by how they used their song.

This stranger however, Zeus was having a very hard time not judging as his nervous chuckle lifted on the air. He looked very uncomfortable with the situation he was in, and completely out of place. Zeus almost wanted to laugh with him at just how silly it looked. And He almost did when the stranger asked his second question. An expression of bewilderment was shown by a raised eyebrow and crooked smile as he stood staring at the brightly colored male. Did he seriously not realize that if this territory were in fact still claimed, he would have received a much more aggressive greeting rather than just a "Can I help you". But again, it was not Zeus' place to be judging, and it must have been his recent mood, because he was having a hard time not being in that place.

"The territory is indeed unclaimed, and has been for only a season." He could have kept going about how it used to be claimed by him and a few other wolves, and how their alphess had quite a vision for the territory and pack that they had formed, and that her dreams had slowly been shriveled up by unfaithful followers, but Zeus didn't feel like talking about that. He suddenly caught himself brewing over those thoughts and cursed himself. Suck it up and get over it. He had to move on eventually.

Zeus hardly gave notice to the stranger's expressions of embarrassment for asking such an obviously stupid question, which he was now realizing for himself. No, he simply looked upon the male with a very relaxed posture and calm face. His tail hanging behind him, and his shoulders squared. The male then introduced himself in greeting and Zeus perked up slightly. "Boomer. I am Zeus, and the pleasure is all mine." The gray stormy pelted wolf dipped his head and observed the handsome physique of his new acquaintance. A sharp defined appearance and bold colors. His personality didn't seem to be matching up, but Zeus still had most of that area yet to discover, and he had one idea of how to start.
"Are you interested in starting a pack? If that's why you asked about the claim of this territory. Or are you strictly here on the business of fun?" Zeus had to ask that as he let the corner of his mouth rise in a small smirk and a twinkle glow in his eye. After all, Boomer did just howl for the sake of fun.

Bonnie;

The female continued to listen to the males, at some point she had pressed her ear against the tree without even realizing it “..Why can’t I hear anything?” she asked herself quietly before finally realizing she had made a mistake. Her face heated with embarrassment and she squinted her eyes, she tilted her head to see the strangers again and she had heard them introduce themselves. They both seemed like nice wolves, one of them seemed confused while the other was calm and nice. The female still hadn’t been spotted which made her smirk a little before shaking her furry pelt. She smiled barely before slowly trotting to the strangers, hopefully not regretting her decision.

“H-Hi... my names Bonnie, nice to meet you.” she said glancing at both males “I hope this doesn’t sound weird but, I over heard you two saying your names.” the female nodded slowly and smiled politely. Her ears flickered at the thought of them being surprised since they hadn’t smelled her before she approached them.

Then Bonnie swayed her tail as she looked at both wolves, looking at their figure. She wasn’t a small wolf, she was slightly bigger than average. Bonnie blinked a few times before looking around the area.

[Boomer]

Boomer;

Starting a...pack? Oh no, Boomer wouldn’t dare think of ever starting one. He was more of a follower than a leader “Oh no, I don’t plan on starting one.” he nodded with a small smile on his maw “I just came here just for fun.” his eyes closed as he continued to smile. Business of fun? Boomer would’ve never thought ‘business’ could be fun. Boomer stood up and shook his blonde fur, though his pelt is a slightly darker yellow, giving it a dirty blonde look.

The male tilted his head ever so slightly as he could see another wolf slowly trotting their direction. The female introduced herself quickly and said that she had heard them say their names. Boomer opened his maw like he is about to say something but then realized it would be for nothing since she just said she heard his name “So glad I didn’t say my name right now.” He thought before looking around to see if there was a tree really close by so that he could just hit his head. He sighed before rolling his shoulders back and smile “Hi Bonnie, nice to meet you.” he nodded and looked at Zeus to see if he would say something or to just see his reaction.

[Blood]

Zeus;

Surprise seemed to flash across Boomer’s face when Zeus asked him the question about wanting to start a pack. Was it intimidating for him to think about such a feat, or did he just have a lot of self doubt in himself? Zeus did not know, and he quickly brushed aside the question as he watched Boomer keep his smile and close his eyes to the sun. Honestly he couldn’t picture the blue and blonde male being any kind of leader, his demeanor lacked that self confidence, and that’s what leaders needed in order to be successful in their pursuits. And Boomer’s pursuits were obviously a joke. He had even said it himself, he was only here for fun.

At that moment another wolf made themselves known. It was a she-wolf who looked strangely similar to Boomer by the pattern of her pelt. At once Zeus wondered if they were related, and if this was the reason that Boomer had come here, but when she timidly spoke up about over hearing them talk and give introductions, he had assumed wrong. She said her name, and again Zeus questioned his assumption. Bonnie, Boomer... They definitely had to be siblings.

Boomer seemed to hesitate as he looked at the newcomer, and then he spoke his greeting. Zeus’ ears shifted back in agitation with the sentence that Boomer just spoke. He was positive they knew each other. Suddenly then Boomer was looking at him as well as the she-wolf, and for a second Zeus had no idea why. Why was this so suddenly confusing. An awkward moment definitely took place before Zeus cleared his throat and spoke up, since the others were obviously expecting him to. ”It is indeed a pleasure meeting you Bonnie.” His electric blue eyes blinked as he focused on the she-wolf, ignoring the male who had a ridiculous expression of anticipation on his face. ”And what brings you to the Wildflower Clearing today?”

[Dina]

Bonnie;

The blonde female smiled as the males introduce themselves, she sat on her haunches and wrapped her tail around her "Nice meeting you guys." she said simply as Bonnie closed her eyes barely. Then after a couple moments the female reopened her eyes because of Zeus' question "And what brings you to the Wildflower Clearing today?"

Bonnie thought for a moment, wondering what to say. But then she shook her head and spoke "I came to meet some interesting wolves," she glanced at Boomer then Zeus "and it seems like I have." she said in a excited tone of voice. Bonnie then widen her eyes only by a little and realized they all had something in common so she spoke again "Hey! We all have something in common!" she blinked three times and smiled widely "Our eyes! They're the same color, see?" Bonnie calmly said as she looked into Zeus' eyes then into Boomer's.

She felt excited all the more "What a coincidence." Bonnie winked at the blonde male. Her tail flicked up as she continued her smile "You know what else is a coincidence? Our pelt..." Bonnie looked at Boomer as she spoke "Do you have any siblings? I have sisters." she nodded and then glanced at Zeus "What about you? Any siblings?" she said finishing her sentence.

Bonnie had two older sisters, but she had not seen them in awhile. The female examined the blonde male like she couldn't keep her eyes off him. He was a charming wolf and she liked it, her tail swayed fast in an excited way,.

[Boomer]

Boomer;

He watched the two as they talked, he let his tongue hang lazily on the side of his jaw and smiled a little. Then the male wagged his tail a little and looked at the female as she mentioned her meeting some interesting wolves "Cool, you're pretty interesting yourself." he said with a hint of a chuckle. Boomer stood straight and listened to what else Bonnie had to say and his eyes merely widen when she mentioned them having something in common. Then he noticed Bonnie looking into Zeus' eyes which made his raise a brow a little, but then whenever she looked into his eyes Boomer froze and blushed just a little. After a moment or so the female said it was a coincidence and then she winked at him, wait-what? She winked at him!

Boomer blushed even more which made his cheeks a rosy color. And then for some reason he swayed his tail like he was excited. Boomer quickly shook his head and came back to reality "Um, what?" he said before gulping and chuckling nervously. "Um, I have siblings, two older brothers and a sister," Boomer looked up a little as he thought of what else to say "I'm also an uncle! How cool is that?" he said with the same smile Bonnie was having.

Azul;

The blue furred male trotted about as he looked around and sniffed the air, he smelled a few scents and one of them was very familiar. He walked even more and after a couple minutes he came to a full stop as he spotted a few wolves. He looked at the one he knew, Zeus. "Zeus?" Azul said with a tilt of his head. The male walked closer and stood by his brother and looked at the two blonde strangers "Um, Am I interrupting something?" he glanced at Zeus still raising a brow. He then shook his head and spoke "My name's Azul, pleasure to meet you." Azul nodded as he glanced at the two blondes.

(I realized I haven't used Azul so I just thought I should plop him here, if you guys don't mind ^^)

[Blood]

Zeus;

An expression of thought was on Bonnie’s face before she smiled and answered his question. It was a normal answer of what any other wolf might be doing in the area, but still Zeus was curious as to what her deeper intentions might be. ”And what would make us so interesting?” He continued to question her as he set his rump down and assumed a casual position. His reply didn’t come right away, because the she-wolf was very distracted with gazing into his and Boomer’s eyes. Every time her eyes locked with his own, Zeus couldn’t help but cringe with how awkward it seemed. He soon figured out why she was doing it, because she then exclaimed how all three of their eye colors matched. He had to double check, because honestly he had not paid close enough attention to either of their eye colors. Turning his head, he looked at Boomer, then at Bonnie which happened to be the exact time she was looking at him. Another awkward cringe, but it didn’t last long because her focuse returned to Boomer, and stayed there for quite a while longer.

“What a coincidence.” Bonnie’s eye twitched. Or was it a wink? Zeus suddenly made an expression that was half raising an eyebrow in surprise, and half narrowing his eyes in suspicion. What a coincidence indeed. He watched the two of them closely, and poor Boomer was fluttered by the attention she was giving him. She could have had beautiful wildflowers in her hair and smelt of fresh lilac and he would have still blushed that hard. The cringing returned and now Zeus almost felt bad for the He-wolf as he stared sheepishly as Bonnie also pointed out their similar pelts. Zeus almost rolled his eyes and groaned in disgust, but then the she-wolf asked another question. A question directed at not just her favorite of the two, but to both of them.

At the mention of siblings, a haze fell over his eyes and Zeus found himself wondering about Hemera and her son, and how they might be doing. His heart longed to go visit them, to be greeted with his nephew’s bright smile and sweet laugh, to caress his sister and encourage her saddened spirit. Boomer’s reply broke him from his thoughts, and Zeus intently gazed at the blonde male as he told of his many siblings. Zeus wasn’t surprised though, he had quite the family himself, although he only cared about one in particular, the rest... well he didn’t really care what they were doing with their lives.

An uncle too?! Now this meeting was definitely a coincidence. How could there be so many similarities between the three of them when their lives had never crossed paths until now. Zeus would have openly shared about being an uncle as well, but his sister’s pup was not his information to give out, and he didn’t like the idea of her safety and privacy being threatened. Clearing his throat and flicking his tail around one of his paws, Zeus gave his family tree of six siblings in order. ”I do have siblings. An older brother and sister, and two more sisters and a brother beneath me.” He tilted his head and raised his chin slightly, almost as if to say, I’m on a whole level above you. ”And you, Bonnie? What is your family like?”

Zeus’ attention was suddenly snapped away from the conversation he was having to to the edge of the tree line where yet another wolf appeared. But this wolf wasn’t another stranger that he would have to introduce himself to. No, this was his very own sibling that he hadn’t seen in many winters. In a moment, Zeus was on his feet again and his muscles tensed with discomfort though it was hardly noticeable. His ears flattened with the sound of Azul’s voice and his expression became grim. ”Brother.” He made the slightest dip of his chin in a cold greeting. Azul didn’t seem to mind the unwelcoming vibe Zeus was giving off, for he came right up to him and stood next to him facing the other wolves. Zeus refused to move, and scoffed quietly when his brother asked about interrupting them, which he replied with, ”Hardly, I was just telling them about you.” Sarcasm dripped from his words as he shot a cold glance at his older brother even though he was an inch taller.

Zeus didn’t know why this after noon was deciding to become very unpleasant for him. With every situation, his patience grew thin and he was becoming very annoyed. A sour taste coated his tongue, and his stomach was in knots. He tried to pull out the root of the problem and figured it was probably because he was standing on Wildflower Clearing turf, and the thought of Ivory Wild sparked regret which brought all of the other emotions to the surface.
