It's the time of year! (open)

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Feeling a subconscious twitch tug at the corners of his mouth, Dallas inclined his head slightly when September Breeze mentioned the deaths of her brothers. As much as he hated to admit it, he cared deepy about his annoying brother; if he had been killed in battle, he wouldn't know what to do.
"I'm sorry about your brothers," Dallas murmured. His expression brightened, however, when September added that she had at least become more motivated. Well, at least she's optomistic...
Tearing his focus from September Breeze, he turned his attention on Tourniquet. "So... what about you? What was your past like?"
Coop had stripped his piece of meat, and began gnawing on the remaining bone, which was beginning to snap from the pressure of his fangs. His ears remained perked, however, for sounds to signal Missing's return.

[nighty!]

Tourniquet grabbed her meat from the rabbit and then looked at Dallas. She knew that she was going to be asked that question but she wasn't so sure about how to put it. "Well, Missing and I are twins. Our parents were Sheerians, then after a couple of months, they disappeared," She explained her version of her story. Missing might put it in a different way.

Missing was still trying to get that apple.

September Breeze shakes off a bit of snow. She listens to Tourniquet tel her story. "Well looks like we all had it rough." she sighs. She takes another bite of meat and let her eyes wander. Once she comes back to her mind she realizes she was staring at Dallas. She quickly adverts her eyes and breaths evenly to help avoid turning red.

She was thinking over their stories and smiles soon. "Seems like we all will make good friends." She pants happily her full tail brushing the ground. She looks at them all hopefully.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

A smile spreading over his lips, Dallas nodded, eyes subconsciously wandering in September Breeze’s direction once again. “…we’ll all make a nice little band of misfits, won’t we?” he murmured distractedly. Then, all at once, he realized he was staring, and ducked his head away with a burning sensation flushing his face.
…why do I always do that? With a sidelong glance at Coop, Dallas sighed a soft sigh, relief on his breath. At least Coop was too interested in his rabbit to notice…
True to Dallas’ observations, Coop busied himself, gnawing on the last bits of rabbit bone that remained from his scrap. With this many wolves here, the least we could have done was afford to catch a deer or something… and where did that Missing go anyway? She was totally into me!
Standing abruptly, Coop cleared his throat and padded off into the woods, calling back with a chiming, “I’ll be back in a minute!”
A “plan” had already weaved its way into his mind. I’ll find Missing and impress her with my hunting skills… maybe a deer will be around! Oh yeah, she won’t be able to resist me after—
He froze, jerking to a halt at the sight of Missing, leaping up and down in front of a tree. Being far too much of an idiot to understand what she was doing, Coop tilted his head to one side and raised a brow. “Uh… what’re you doing?”

[nighty!]

Missing kept on jumping to grab that high apple that was so close for her to get but she couldn't get the dang fruit. Then a voice came to her. Uh... what're you doing? It sounded like- Coop. It had to be Coop who didn't know what she was doing. "Uh... exersizing with my legs, trying to get the apple up there, I can't get it right now but I was close," She lied so she can make up some excuse so he wouldn't know that she was a vegitarian. She didn't want anyone to know that she was a non-meat eater though that is what wolves are known for.

September starts to shiver a bit. she thinks back to warmer happy days and stops.

~Flashback~
It was a warm summer's day outside and September was frolicking with the older kids, she always did. September was flirting with an older wolf. Fierce trotted over as he licked her cheek. The younger wolf ran in fear. September looked up at her brother. "Brother why did you scare him away?" Fierce grinned at his little naive sister. "No real reason." he licked her head and finished his thoughts, "Just promise me you wont ever mate." She smiled happily and agreed, "Ok what ever that means, I promise big brother."
~End Flash back~

September shook her head vigorously. "I'm sorry big brother I don't think i will be able to fulfill my promise." She whispered softly

[.Rabid Lycan.]

Dallas twitched his ears, catching the muffled sounds of a whisper coming from September Breeze’s direction. He glanced over at her with a questioning expression, his tail swishing to one side as he did so, and asked silently with his eyes: did you say something? What is it? Not that he really expected an answer—they hadn’t known each other for long enough to really share deep secrets and such, he supposed.
In the silence that followed, Dallas gazed with a hint of regret at the dismembered rabbit. I should have caught something bigger…
Far too blissfully ignorant and self-absorbed to realize that she was lying, Coop hesitated before shrugging off his confusion. Eh, all girls are strange… why should this one be any different? And besides that, she’s easy on the eyes…hehehe.
Glancing up at the bright scarlet fruit that dangled high above, he smirked. “Want some help? I think I can reach it…” Secretly, he hoped she’d approve of his request so that he could show off his jumping ability. Being who he was, he had to use physical strength as a substitute for brains and personality. ( )

[Acacia]

September looked Dallas in the eyes and put her head down on her paws to reminisce about her brothers and she started to shiver viciously. She sighed and her body shivered. She looked at Dallas again her eyes pleading for warmth. September looked over to Tourniquet. She then turns her head to lay it down. She starts to fall asleep.

[nighty!]

Missing continue to jump for the apple till she got it and lost her balence and fell down. "It's OK, I got the apple, don't worry about me now," She lied again. She really hate lying to anyone about her being a vegitarian because no one has to know about it. It's a secret and it'll be a secret forever, even if she has a mate. The neophyte rolled to the side and started eating the fruit. It was really refreshing to her.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

The shiver that spread down her spine worried Dallas, and he found himself subconsciously shifting in her direction. But when she gazed toward him, he couldn’t help but stand, trot over, and lie down at her side. His fur brushing her side slightly, he lifted his chin and stared into the woods, wondering where Coop had gone. “I’ll be back in a minute?” Jeez, he doesn’t need to be a jerk AND a liar…
Coop blinked slowly, obviously buying in to Missing’s ploy. Not that he was clever enough to call her bluff, anyway. Nodding as if complete understanding, the brute murmured, “Alright, that’s cool.” Chicks want their space; it’s always the same… “And—?”
He turned his attention to the tree, oblivious to the fact that she had begun to devour the fruit due to his position. Back towards Missing, Coop crouched before leaping into the air, reaching toward an apple even higher in the tree with the sole motivation of impressing the girl beside him.

[Acacia]

September moved closer and stopped shivering as she sighed contently. She smiles subconsciously at the warmth of Dallas next to her. "Dallas you smell refreshing, and you are very warm." She mumbled. She turned her head to protect her nose from the cold and put it in Dallas's fur.

[nighty!]

Missing's simple mind just watched Coop backed toward her and then jumped for another apple, from a lot higher section of the tree where she got her apples from. Wow... total body builder. She thought to herself after he grabbed one of the highest apples. The she-wolf's eyes went big and bubblely(if that is a word). Missing gave a girlish sigh of affection after the though.

[.Rabid Lycan.]

A small blush bloomed under the cover of Dallas' fur, inwardly pleased that she was accepting his actions to move closer to her. In fact, he was expressing some outward emotion as well; a smile could not be prevented after she responded and tucked her nose into her fur. "Happy to help," he murmured softly, slowly bringing his head to the ground and resting it at his paws. Something about the tranquility of the moment made sleep appear so... appealing.
Fangs gripping the sides of a ripe, scarlet apple, Coop landed on the earth with a solid thump, his ears going back slightly in a display of satisfaction when Missing's sigh of admiration reached his ears.
I knew it-- no girl can resist the Coop.
Strutting a little, he approached Missing-- not noticing that she had eaten the previous apple-- and sat in front of her, dropping the apple at his paws. Shaking himself, he grinned. "You're right-- that is a workout," he woofed, curling his tail over his paws.

[Acacia]

September fell asleep her nose in his fur. She had childish dreams during her nap. She dreamed of butterflies and puppies playing in fields. Her body twitched lightly as she dreamed.

[nighty!]

Missing smiled at Coop. "Yeah, told you," She giggled. The she-wolf stretched and stole Coop's apple and started to eat it.

Tourniquet watched September fall for Dallas, that was very sweet of him though and then watched her fall asleep. "Gosh thanks a lot, now i feel sleepy." She yawned and closed her eyes.

Missing yawned exactly the same time as Tourniquet, "I'm sleepy now. Night." She said closing her eyes.
