OoC~I decided to have him do all sorts of things that morning, and decided to post in the section where he would be when he finally decided to rest xD
After a long night of hunting and playing games with Nira, the next day had arrive. Ken woke up and turned his head looking at Nira. He smiled and licked her on the side of her maw before standing up, yawning, and stretching. He walked out of the den, poking his head out first to make sure no other wolves were out in case they missed something the night before.
He began walking away from the dens. He came out on some plains where the sun shone all across the land. Ken began walking in random directions to try getting a new sense of direction of the land. He found a tree that had branches that hung low to the ground. He climbed up on the branch and looked out at the land again. He observed animals and how they behaved. He watched how they ate, where they slept, where they played, and more. He figured it would help them out next time they decided to go hunting.
Ken jumped off of the tree where he startled a group of flys that were eating at the body Nira, Tobias, and himself had been eating last night. He hadn't even noticed where he was. He walked away from the carcass and came upon a small stream. He started drinking his fill and then hopped into the stream taking a quick swim. He got out on the other side and began walking deep into the Seriqan Forest.
As he walked deeper, he hadn't even noticed the underbrush getting thicker. He began stepping on thorns and the thorns scratched his legs. He smelled blood. He looked down and he was bleeding. "Darnit." he said sighing. "Those are some strong thorns." he saw the underbrush began getting lower again, as well as the tree branches. He finally found another tree branch where he hopped on it and began licking his wounds. The blood still continued coming out. He frowned looking around to see if anyone was around that could help him, but this place seemed deserted. He let out a long and ear peircing howl that echoed across the land. He wasn't trying to get any certain wolf here. In fact, he was trying to get any wolf here at all. He was just in pain.

"...I...I really don't want to talk about it..."
Tyreno padded on, a little weary, but mainly lost. He'd never gone out on his own, his 'job' in his old pack required him to stay in the main area, usually only going out with some sort of escort. Point being, he never had to pay attention to where things were before. Not like that would matter here, he was days away from his old pack lands, but it would have been nice to draw on some experience.
So now he was merely following scents, he was looking for a new pack, and so was trying to find another wolf. The forest he was in smelled greatly of wolf, no doubt another pack was nearby, but so far he hadn't been able to find one. His lack of experience must have dulled his natural tracking instincts.
He stopped, sighed, and was about to lay down, effectivley giving up for the moment, when he heard a howl.
His first thought was to run, no doubt he was discovered and was soon to be run off, and Tyreno did not want to get into any fights; he had been hoping the natives would have been peaceful and allow him to talk first. But after the initail wave of fear... something else began to register. That wasn't an aggressive howl... no, it was a pain and sorrow filled one.
Flicking his ears to figure out the direction from which it came, Tyreno took off again, running for the wolf that had let out the howl, all worries of being attacked vanished.

The white femme was lying peacefully, fast asleep. She was exhausted from the night before, all they had done was play, but still it tired her. Soon she felt a tongue roll over the side of her maw. She let a smile come across her face, she knew who it was: Ken. She peeped open one of her eyes to see the large brute in her face. She returned the favor easily, rolling her tongue passionately over his muzzle. Her eyes watched him exit the den, she still smiled.
Nira slowly arose, yawning from just waking up. Her yellow eyes scanned the den entrance where he had just left. She tilted her head, wondering where he was going to. "Ken?" Nira's soft voice said, but to no reply. He must've left the area. She walked slowly towards the blinding entrance, and stepped out, the sun glaring in her yellow eyes. She looked both ways and saw nothing, she tried once more to see Ken walking away. She let a grin cross her maw before trotting towards him.
Nira managed to catch up, for the most part, but lost him again. She wearily stepped around, looking for Ken. She let a sigh emmit from her maw. 'How could I lose him? He was right infront of me. Hmmm, well I did suggest a new place to got to last night, maybe he decided to explore.' She smiled, 'His rather predictable.' She thought, half kidding. She came to fields, rolling plains with few trees. Many prey were gathered around, grazing.
Nira kept trotting on, trying to predict where Ken had disappeared to. She really wanted to chase the prey, but she knew if she were to do that she would probably never be able to catch up to Ken. So she pushed on, ignoring the grazing deer. Her legs kept going, looking like they knew the direction, but in reality she had no idea where on earth to go. She came to a halt, a forked path almost. Nira looked left, then looked right. 'Ugh, decisions.' She thought, trying to choose a path.
Nira got a little frustrated and instead of picking a path, went into the forest the lied in front of her. She carefully took a few steps, the forest was extremely large and dangerous. Her yellow eyes fell to the ground, where bushes of poison, and thorns poked out at her. With her rather slender frame, she managed to not get cut by the thorns or get a rash by the bushes. She came to a small clearing, bug enough for almost two wolves to sit, and thought. 'Where did you disappear off to Ken?'
Nira tilted her head to the side, trying to think a bit more. 'Okay Ken, maybe your not all that predictable.' She thought before arising off the grassy ground. She began to walk again, watching her step while staying on alert. She had no idea what lurked in the forest. Her ears were on end, and tail straight back. Soon she caught noises infront of her, and the scent of another wolf. She peeked through the bushes to see a wolf just standing there. She was about to ask him who he was when a howl pierced the silence.
Nira knew who's howl it was from the moment it started. A smile crept across her maw, but disappeared as soon as she realized what the howl meant. She immediately rushed towards it, forgetting about the wolf and worrying about Ken. She gracefully sprinted through the forest without any damage, and soon saw Ken there sitting on a tree branch bleeding. She trotted over to the tree branch, and hoped onto it, looking at Ken with a face of worry.
"What happened?!" Nira said, fearing for the worse: He was attacked. She let her yellow eyes search his legs, all of them seemed to be cuts, not bites, and more spaced out then if it were from another animal. She lowered her muzzle to his leg, and began to clean the cuts with him, rolling her tongue over his fur. She hoped it wasn't as bad as she thought. [OOC. BLAR! I posted the most, victory is mine!]

Ken continued licking his cuts after he let out the piercing howl. He was a tad relieved to hear small sounds in the forest around him. He wasn't as alone as he first thought. He only hoped that noises he had been hearing weren't a group of wolves from another pack, then he would never go out of the forest again.
He pushed the thought to the back of his mind and continued licking the deep cuts. None of them seemed like serious cuts, just one or two on his right hind leg. They were pretty deep and Ken frowned. When he heard the sounds in front of him getting closer, he spotted a white wolf. Nira?
His ears stood up and he watched closely as the white wolf got nearer. He sighed in relief when she revealed herself. She jumped on the branch with him and asked what happened. Then she began licking his wounds with him. He smiled and continued himself. "I was running and ran into a bunch of thorn bushes. I don't even know what happened." he tried standing up, but failed miserably and fell back onto the tree branch.
Just then he heard more movement from where Nira came from. He looked at her and tilted his head "Did you bring someone with you?" Then Ken got an unfamiliar scent. He looked back at the bush and began growling, trying to get whoever was behind the bush to show themselves. Then again, he wasn't sure if they wanted to join the pack or not. He stopped growling and waited.

"...I...I really don't want to talk about it..."
Tyreno skidded to a halt as another wolf ran past him, obviously heading towards the howler as well. So there were other wolves here... was he being watched? How long had he been watched and why has no one attacked yet? Tyreno cowered a bit, but forced himself to keep moving forward. No matter what happens now, there was another wolf injured, how badly he didn't know. perhaps he'd get a warmer welcome if he helped out somehow...
so he continued towards the sound, slower and much more wary. All the new scents confused him, and so he continued to look in the trees and foilage to see if he was still being watched.
He then heard voices up ahead and so stopped, crouching down to try and hide himself. He couldn't make out what was being said, and his possition didn't have a great view either, all he could tell was that one was male (whether he was cute or not Ty couldn't tell) and he was the injured one, and that the wolf that had previously dashed past him was female, and trying to help the male.
He tried to get closer to get a better look, but made too much noise in the process, his lack of experience to blame again. he cowered again, hearing one of the wolves, most like the male) start to growl. he tried retreating but found himself back up against a tree or something that managed to block his pasage. Then the growling stopped.
Now he began to panic, his thoughts leading him to believe that they stopped growling so they could hide and sneak up on him, wolves were very territorial after all.
Tyreno began to shake, perhaps even giving his position away, and couldn't supress the pathetic whine that built up in his throat.

Nira continued the soft motions, making sure she was cleaning his cuts and removing any chance of major infections. She let her tongue roll over one last wound before looking him in the eye. She had a bunch of mixed feeling at the time, anger, sadness, happiness, and they went on. She didn't like being angry at him, but he made her worry, greatly. She put the thought away, trying to be happy he was alright.
Nira pressed her nose gently against the left side of Ken's maw, closing her eyes. She began to nuzzle him, but thats when he asked her if she had company. She pulled back her head, rather fast, and stared at him. Who would be with her? "Why would I have brought someone, the only other wolf I know is Tobias, and he disappears every so often. Where is this question coming from anyway?" She asked, raising a brow.
Nira kept the face until she heard movements in the bushes herself. She looked over at them, almost as though she were trying to see what was hidden behind them with her yellow eyes. The wind blew through her white pelt, shaking the bush a bit more. It was only moments after that she released who it might be. She looked back to Ken for a moment, before focusing on the bush. 'It could be that wolf,' She thought, 'Ken did send out a howl to anyone that could help him, he could've came.' He being the wolf she passed earlier.
Nira's eyes watched the bush, it began to shake more, defiantly occupied. But then, something she didn't think would happen did. The male she had passed by began to whimper, she tilted her head, then looked to Ken. "Stay here, kay?" Nira didn't even wait for an answer. She pounced down onto the ground, and walked slowly and quietly to the bush that concealed the wolf. Her eyes stay on the bush.
Nira closed in, her heart starting to rapidly beat, she didn't know what to expect. It could be a wolf from another pack fake whimpering to get her attention. She came to a halt, if it was she was doomed. She shook the thought from her head as she started her slow motion walking back to the bush. She slowly pushed her head through the bushes, followed by her body. Her yellow eyes began to peer on the other side.
Nira slowly began to see the figure on the other side; A small wolf, well still slightly bigger then her stood frightened and backed up into a try. Her aggressive stance was immediately dropped. She walked completely through the bushes, and looked at the male tilting her head. She then released why he must've been whimpering. She shot a glare back his way, then looked back to the wolf infront of her, while sitting.
"Sorry about the threating voice, Ken just isn't that smart." Nira said as a joke. She let a warm smile cross her face. "My name's Nira, and the wolf up there bleeding from not watching were he stepped is Ken. Who might you be?" She asked, trying to be as friendly as possible and hopefully calm the wolf's nerves down. She kept the smile on her face, awaiting an answer.

Ken watched her run off. He didn't want her to go, but then again, it wouldn't have mattered. She would have went anyway. He pushed the top half of his body up as she got closer to the bush. He let out a small whimper in fear for her.
Then she began talking, and he smiled. It must have been a small frightened wolf. He layed back down looking into the forest and let out a small sigh. His legs were still having throbbing pain, and he knew it would be a while before he would be able to walk again.
His eyes began to close and he thought about how he would get back to the dens, but that would happen later, so he pushed that thought to the back of his mind for later. Then he opened his eyes looking Nira's way again, hoping she would come back soon and introduce him to the new wolf.

"...I...I really don't want to talk about it..."
Tyreno jumped as Nira entered into his view, he would have growled at the sudden intrusion, but he was more frightened than anything; he wasn't really a fighting wolf, never did it before in his life, not even play fighting with the other pups his age.
But then she dropped her shoulders, abandoning all aggression that could have been shown in her stance. This confused Tyreno a bit... he wouldn't have thought any other wolves to be this accepting or whatever was going on. Did he just look that pathetic? Probably so, he was cowering against a tree, not to mention he was considered small.
She introduced herself, and the other wolf that was still up on the branch, mentioned he was injured, causing a slight flick in Ty's ears.
"er, I'm Tyreno..." His ears flicked again and he lowered himself a bit lower. "Is... Ken? Is he going to be alright?" Obviously Tyreno had a tendancy to worry too much.
If Korin=Tyreno, and Tyreno=Sabre.... does Korin=Sabre? (we're the same people)

Tobias was resting in the heart of the Seriquan forest, sweet, sacred place of the Luthira pack. His eyes were closed and his respiration slowed as he listened to the sounds of his lands. Birds trilled, rabbits munched, badgers scruffed and dug out dens with their heavy claws.
From far off he heard the sounds of a howl and he perked his ears. Ken?
Immediately he spung to his feet, ears raised and alert, sensitive nose picking out scents. Something was wrong! Ken was hurt, and there was the smell of an intruder in his forest. A savage barking howl ripped from his throat in anger. Nobody intruded on his forest. They may roam where they liked on the borders, and welcomed members were free as he was, but this scent was not of Nira or Ken. This new wolf must have injured Ken!
His ears lowered instinctively as he leapt from his perch unpon a rock formation, his fleet paws carring him swiftly towards the plaintive howl of his friend. Looping vines and twisting thorn brambles all had to be avoided, but he knew his woods well enough to bypass the thorns and leap or dodge the vines. Which was fortunate, because both were plentiful.
As he came closer to the scent he slowed, creeping his way towards the intruder wolf. He smelled blood, and both Ken and Nira's scent as well. Perhaps they had taken care of the intrusion... But again, the smell of intruder and blood enraged him.
Another growl let loose from his throat as he burst from cover and leaped on the cowering wolf by the tree. Nobody was going to intrude and injure those who called his lands home, especially in HIS forest!
[I know I'm intruding as this was meant for Ken and Nira, but I felt like showing Tobias's alpha instincts at work >.>; I'll be gone as soon as Ty is all sorted out with him. xD]

"...I...I really don't want to talk about it..."
Tyreno's ears twitched as he heard something... something that sounded very much like a growl, and he knew it wasn't coming from Nira. Before he could even so much as whine, he was hit by a another wolf, knocked down onto his belly, pinned to the floor.
Immediatley panic set in, should he struggle? No... maybe he should lay there, show he was no threat. But what if the other wolf didn't care and wanted to kill him right now? Then he should fight back. But he couldn't fight...
In the end, he just squirmed pathetically beneath the other wolf, of course, whining loudly.
(( heh heh, maybe he can take tyreno somewhere and then it could go back to just Ken and Nira.))
If Korin=Tyreno, and Tyreno=Sabre.... does Korin=Sabre? (we're the same people)

Tobias growled deeply, his bared fangs very close to the intruder's neck. His tail was raised high, as were his ears, maintaining his poise even in anger. The intruder was small, but he knew from experience that small wolves could be especially deadly. They could slip out like an eel and be a pain in the tail vent to catch again.
"Who are you and why are you here?" He barked, raising his head a little to do so. His front paw was on his chest, holding him down, the other at his side to help keep his balance should the wolf struggle as he was presently doing. "More importantly, Why do I smell the blood of one of my wolves here, where you just happen to be?"
His fangs glinted in the sunlight, but he was not trying to be mean. He had lived through a war and was afraid of war coming again to ravage his people. Necessity was what drove his snapping jaws, not cruelty. Although he was coming to realize that the blood-scent was not found on this newcomer, which meant he might not have hurt Ken...
