Bandit and Buster;

The two males walked about as they searched for a particular female. They glanced at each other and the older male has spoken "You've grown, I wonder if your sisters is ok.." Bandit had said as he sighed, he failed to watch his own daughter and now she had slipped away from his own paws. But his son stood by him. Buster frowned a little right before growling in anger "Don't worry, Dad. We'll find her and when we do I'll make sure I'll teach her a lesson!" Buster barked as he then twitched in anger. Bandit shook his head and continued walking. Both males, after walking for fifteen minutes, stopped on their tracks and sat down, taking a small break. Bandit had laid on his stomach while Buster looked around like he was on watch. Buster then looked at his father and asked how he was feeling. Bandit shook his head again and simply replied with an "I don't know."

Buster actually didn't like how his father had answered but he had to ignore it. Buster then closed his eyes and lifted his snout up and let out a howl. Bandit raised a brow and flattened his ears, almost bothered by the fact his own son just howled basically right in his ears. Bandit then lifts himself by sitting up and glancing at his son, forest green gaze met forest green gaze. If only Bandit's daughter were here, well, her eyes were like the mother's eyes. Bandit and Buster couldn't think of what Breeze would be doing right now, or what she has been doing.

One thing was for sure they needed to find her and fast. Bandit then sprang up and started walking again and his son Buster would follow. They looked around and Buster would randomly howl again, which made Bandif bark at him and Buster's face would be a light pink from embarrassment.

Breeze;

Leaning down towards the small pond Breeze took in a few mouthfuls of water; before staring down aimlessly at her reflection. A look of boredom crossed her features; as she'd sat down glancing across the tiny pond. She could go for a swim, but she didn't feel up to getting her fur wet especially with the dropping temperatures. Yeah, she figured their wouldn't be any swimming till the weather shifted; she put her paw on the top feeling the thin ice underneath. It was nearly frozen over another night and it'd a sheet of ice. Though that meant that fishing was off her list as well. It was even getting harder to find any small creatures most were tucked away hibernating but all she needed was a whiff. Then she would demolish any den they'd built and rip them apart whether or not she was hungry. The female then second guessed herself; wasting any food in winter wasn't wise. She'd just have to find something else to occupy her time or track down a certain wolf.

Without warning a howl had broke through her train of thought making her ears twitch; her tail wagged furiously she'd recognized the wolf. Quicker than she thought was possible Breeze had jumped to her feet bolting in the direction it came from. Though it sounded far off then she'd liked it to be; but if she hurried she could sniff him out. As she ran snow shot up behind her; and the trees seemed to blur when she sped past them. Suddenly she halted to a stop; nearly slipping on the wet ground beneath her. The female eyes widened when she caught wind of not only her brother but her father Bandit. They were resting here together not too long ago; maybe they were looking for her. She hadn't seen them in so long; that she found herself whining in excitement.

Another howl rang out; this time closer but it was cut short. It didn't matter to her because she then darted towards it; running faster when their mingled scents seemed a few feet away from her. Though she'd underestimated the distance between them; cause they were in her sights but she didn't know if she had enough time to stop herself from crashing into them.

Bandit and Buster;

Things didn't look like it was going their way, or at least Buster's way, he couldn't howl and that was basically what he wanted to do the whole time! Bandit probably wouldn't have minded if only he wasn't so worried about his daughter...

"I shouldn't have let her go..." Bandit said to himself while giving out a big sigh. Of course, Buster heard and saw that and all that Buster could say was "Aww, Dad, stop doing that! You're making me worried and you know damn well I don't like getting worried!" Buster said merely in anger.

Bandit's eyes widen, did his son just tell him what to do? What was Bandit to do? Scold him? Bandit didn't know what to do, in fact, he wasn't going to do anything except to say "Like father, like son." Bandit said aloud and chuckled quietly. Buster cocked his brow and without warning he someone bumped into him "Hey!" he barked and growled, getting ready to attack "Watch it!" Buster said still growling right before he realized who bumped into him.

"Um...Um.." Buster's eyes twitched and his mouth dropped, while Bandit had been trying to sleep even after he heard Buster growl and yell at someone. Bandit thought "He can deal with it.." its not like he was too lazy or careless to protect his son.. He was just disappointed at himself for not keeping his promise. So there Bandit was, laying there and trying to rest, Buster finally noticed that his father didn't realize who was right there in front of them "..D-Dad! Wake up you lazy furball! Look who's here!" Buster said with excitement as he then wags his tail.

Bandit groaned before opening his eyes and lifting his head to now see his daughter right in front of him "Breeze?" Bandit stood up with the quickness and smiled widely.

Breeze grinned over at her father; tail wagging while she moved to nuzzle her head into her father's chest before doing the same to her brother in greeting. Then she stepped back almost as if to get a better look at the two; it'd been a while since she'd laid eyes on them. Even had given up hope on ever reuniting with the pair, the valley was huge enough for her to stray away from them. The she-wolf had regretted that she had wandered off; but now here they were in front of her. ”I thought I'd never see you two again.”

“If it weren't for that howling of yours Buster I probably wouldn't have found you guys. Which must have been annoying.” She snickered, feeling somewhat giddy now that they were standing in front of her. For a brief moment she thought back to Kylon who was most likely searching for; they'd not gone far from each other since meeting up. Though when she heard her brother she couldn't help but dart off in search of him; not wanting to miss the chance at seeing him again. It was so much better that her father was with him also. Kylon would just have to worry a little; or either sniff her out.

“You guys miss me?”

Bandit and Buster;

Buster's smile faded into an aggravated snarl when his sister mentioned his howl being annoying "It's already bad enough Dad thinks it's annoying.. I don't need you to mention it also..." Buster mumbled before shaking his head and smiling just a little. He would rather of her mention how annoying his howl was than to had never of seen her. Then Breeze asked if they had missed her, Bandit opened his mouth right about to say something but with the quickness Buster spoke in an almost angered tone of voice "Did we miss you? What kind of question is that?! Of course we did are you nuts?!" Buster said as he began to twitch. Bandit glared at his son before rolling his eyes "What Buster MEANT to say is;
Yes and how have you been doin lately? " Bandit said in a calm manner while Buster still was twitching.

Bandit cleared his throat loud enough for Buster to hear, Buster then got the message and he finally stopped twitching his body "...Sorry." said Buster. Breeze's brother sat close to her with a sly grin to his maw "So, how ya doing,
sis?" Buster cocked a brow and tilted his head. Bandit also tilted his head just a little and wondered the same thing. The main thing was Bandit was so glad to see his daughter again, maybe now he can still keep his promise that he made to their mother.

[conspiracy]

Breeze;

A sly grin tugged at her lips because of his outburst; she was glad to know that she'd been missed but of course she'd already known that. The same had went for her brother and father; the dark haired female definitely missed the two. It'd been displayed in her excitement, while usually she'd been calm and collected. This reunion had been something to celebrate and the she-wolf could barely control her tail as it swayed furiously behind her. Neither could her brother stop twitching; but her father had quickly put a stop to it. Then came the question of what she'd been up too; which she'd gotten into a lot of things. Though which ones were she willing to bring up?

“I've been good, you know just getting into whatever trouble I can find.” She chuckled, mirroring her brothers grin while responding to their questions. Breeze had a nose for trouble it called to her; and yeah when boredom struck she'd go in search of it. Though could you blame her? “Accidentally, crossed into pack land about a month back and met an interesting wolf while I was there. Came out unscathed, obviously.”

Should she tell them about Kylon? What could it hurt they were her family after all. Though telling them meant that she thought more of him them she'd let on; and they'd easily read her if she lied. “I also met another wolf, his names Kylon and were sort of together now.” she said, cringing at how it'd sounded out loud.

The she-wolf had never been one for putting labels on things; because usually she wouldn't stick around for that long. Their had been something there; something that she still wasn't quite sure what it was yet. The ebony she-wolf then shrugged as if the news wasn't a big deal; before starring over at her father and brother.

“What about you two?”

[Boomer]

Bandit and Buster;

As they both waited for Breeze to reply Buster had been flicking his tail up and down, rapidly. He was just excited to hear what Breeze had to say! Buster thought "This better be a good reason why you left! Otherwise, I'll pummel you!" Buster shook his head roughly and glanced at his father.

Bandit listened to Breeze's statement "Trouble huh? That sounds about right." he smiled and chuckled, then he continued to listen to what else Breeze had to say. She mentioned her accidentally Coming across a pack territory. Bandit's eyes widen a little "W-what? Y-you could have gotten..." Bandit looked down, she could have gotten hurt! Bandit could never forgive himself if she did get hurt! He shook his head, all that mattered was that she wasn't hurt and that she was safe.

"Well, I'm glad me and your mother taught you well to survive on your own.." the first few seconds Bandit spoke he sounded calm, but when he mentioned their mother Bandit sounded.. Depressed.

Buster looked at his father and growled "Dad! This is no time to be sad now!" he ran up to his father "We all miss mom! But Breeze is here and this is supposed to be a happy moment!" he barked and nudged Bandit, telling him to get a grip.

Bandit shook himself, realizing that his son is telling him to get a grip, shouldn't it be the other way around? Bandit nodded and glanced at Breeze when she mentioned another wolf and how they were together "What!?" Bandit said sternly.

Buster slowly backed away from Bandit, getting closer to Breeze "Sis..." he whispered "I think you better tell him that the guy your seeing has green markings..." Buster said, not knowing what to do. Bandit calmed down, then sighed.

"What... What is he like? Is he even good for you?" Bandit took a few steps closer to his daughter, like any father, he wanted whats best for his daughter.

[conspiracy]

Breeze;

Breeze watched her fathers mood shift when he mentioned their mother; which made her tail halt its movements. She didn't understand what it felt like to lose a mate; though she'd guessed the pain she felt for her late mother was doubled for her father. It was a different pain; one that she wished she'd never have to experience. Though in response she made her way over to him to nuzzle into his fur in a comforting manner. At least she thought it'd be comforting because the she-wolf wasn't exactly the comforting type. For her family though she would make an attempt. Her head turned to face her brother as he'd approached their father; with some advice of his own.

“Busters right, we do all miss her.” Her head nodded, as she looked over at him.

Though when she mentioned Kylon as an aversion; his demeanor had changed which she'd expected but it'd been relief. Breeze still found herself moving away from the wolf, as her brother moved closer to her and away from their father. He could be intimidating when he was angry; which he'd been the only wolf beside their mother that could intimidate her. Especially when she'd angered them.

"I think you better tell him that the guy your seeing has green markings." Buster whispered.

Breeze glanced at her brother, and for a moment she considered lying. Though her cons outweighed her pros and she knew she would be better off being honest. “His markings aren't green, their…. yellow. Does the color really matter?”

She asked, watching as he sighed and visibly calmed then he began questioning her about Kylon like any father would. The she-wolf knew he was only concerned for her. “He's caring, nice, well to me and you'd like him. He's about the first wolf I've come across that matches my pace when it comes to….things. We just connect you know.” Breeze paused, debating on whether to keep going.

”He makes me happy, not that I'd just come right and tell him so, not yet at least.”

[Boomer]

Bandit and Buster;

What!? Kylon doesn't have green markings!? Bandit thought he had raised his kids to admire green markings so much! And he would have thought that they would be with someone with a B name... Bandit sighed loudly before gazing at his daughter "Well... I don't know... I thought you would have gone with someone with a B sounding name and had green markings... But," he looked down and rolled his eyes barely "Whatever makes you... Happy."

Buster cocked a brow "How come she dared to go out with someone with yellow markings? I know uncle has yellow markings... Wait, what am I saying?" he thought and shook his head roughly. Buster leaned towards his sister and spoke "If he makes you so happy... Then why isn't he here?" he said and ever so slightly tilting his head. Bandit raised a brow for a brief moment before looking to Breeze, wondering what she would say to that.

"Do you ever plan on going with someone else? No offense sis but, you are the type to do that..." said Buster hoping that his sister wouldn't get mad at him. Both males glanced at each other for a second, maybe Breeze had changed while she was gone, and if she did, Bandit would not have liked that.

[conspiracy]

Breeze;

Breeze hadn't given Kylon's yellow markings a second thought when she met him; come to think of it she hadn't come across anyone else with green markings; except family that is. It was a little deterring if she thought about it. The female would no doubt have wondered if the other wolf could have been a distant family member, and that was a little off putting. Seeing that that was the case she'd learned to admire other variations of pelt markings; but of course green was green was still her favorite. Or maybe it was now second; though she wouldn't mention it. She'd snorted when her father rolled his eyes. “Yeah, you sound really excepting, I know you'll grow to like him.”

Wasn't that what usually happened? Breeze wasn't sure. Besides nothing was really set in stone; the future was just as unpredictable as the weather.

She'd turned to Buster with an almost sheepish expression when he asked about where Kylon was. “Well we were together, then when I heard your horrid howling I'd darted off. I mean he's most likely sniffing out my trail, probably a little pissed that I left without warning.” The she-wolf grinned at the thought of Kylon following her scent while he angrily searched for her. It didn't cross her mind to at least tell him; but then again it would have ended with the same result even if she did. Having been going and coming as she pleased it was a habit to just wander off; which was how she'd gotten separated from her family in the first place.

“None taken,”A laugh fell from her parted mouth, in response to Busters question; could she end up with another wolf? She'd been good for just that very thing, but she wouldn't know. “Honestly, I'm not sure. Though who knows, right? I can't foresee the future, plus I'd rather live in the moment.”

[Boomer]

Buster and Bandit;

Bandit shook his head barely, Breeze said he would like Kylon... But Bandit was most likely not gonna like any one Breeze was with. He sighed ever so slightly and his eyes twitched, his son noticing that, but decided to say nothing.

Buster rolled his eyes after Breeze's comment about his annoying howl, what was he to do? He was bored and just wanted to do something to fill the silence in the air.

Bandit coughed a little before giving out a small grin "Always living in the now, tsk tsk, some things are worth thinking of," he glanced at Buster for a second "and some things aren't." his eyes twitched again and continued to grin "I'd say I don't need to worry about any of you two, but you know I plan on keeping my promise..." Bandit looked at his daughter, wondering if she had any regret of leaving her father and brother. So many times had Bandit told both Buster and Breeze that he had promised their mother that he'd keep them all safe, he plans on keeping that promise until death came to him.

Buster frowned ever so slightly before nodding barely and stretching. Buster glanced at both his father and sister before flicking his ears.

Kylon;

Gray flashed past, then more gray and yellow fur blurred through the woods. A whisper of wind and the swift patter of paws made the shaded green landscape seem alive for only a second before it fell back to silence. Another shiver of action as the hunt continued, this time a small flock of morning doves where disturbed and they noisily flew up into the high swaying branches. A few squirrels scampered up the trees as well to avoid the heightened chase. Before another second past, there was a soft squeal and then silence as the hunt was completed.

A proud Kylon came tramping through the bushes with a freshly killed hare hanging from his maw. His step was light and his tail wagged behind him like a victory flag, but his chest was heaving from the speedy running. Some hares were easy chases, but this one just happened to be a little longer before the prey took a wrong turn that cost it its life.

The warm flesh was magic in his mouth, and the taste of blood made his stomach twist with anticipation, but Kylon wanted to share his meal with a certain someone, so he set of to follow her scent trail.

Breeze had a wonderful scent that threw Kylon back into the memory of when they first met, and he hardly noticed the trail getting stronger before he happened across a clearing. Voices reached his ears and afar off he could see Breeze’s bright green and black pelt in the distance with two others. The soft carcass dropped from his mouth and he lowered his head while squinting at the two strangers. They looked very related to Breeze, how he guessed, maybe because they all shared very similar features and colors. He chanced to approach, picking up his prey and stalking closer. The three some seemed intent in their conversation, and when he neared close enough to hear, Kylon set the hare down again.

Pissed about her leaving? Kylon had hardly noticed she’d left, he’d been too distracted with his hunt. He took another step forward, about to introduce himself, but then he heard one of the males, who actually addressed her as sis. Great, he was going to meet the family. But that didn’t give him as much of a gut ache than what her brother had just asked. "Do you ever plan on going with someone else? No offense sis but, you are the type to do that..." Someone else? Kylon’s brow deepened as he watched closely to what Breeze’s reply would be. She laughed, and then gave her answer which was only half satisfying to Kylon. He didn’t want to think about the deepness of such meaning, but he stored the question away for later. Right now he had to think of a good entrance before they noticed him.

”Hey Breeze, these two giving you any trouble?” He couldn’t think of anything better, so Kylon just ran with it, as he gentle lifted his tail in a lazy sway and held his head high before trotting closer to Breeze’s side.
