[html]ooc;; Anyone else wanting to join is still more than welcome! Thanks for replying guys!
The howl left his lips and he allowed them to curve up in a soft grin. His family would soon be around him and he would be sharing a special moment in his life with them. Of course, he didnt count on his family and friends being there almost immediately. It was perhaps two or three minutes after the summons had been sent when he thought he heard something behind him. Figuring it to be the creak of his new house he ignored it. Stupid mistake really. He almost stumbled forward as a comforting weight slammed into his back. If the females scent hadnt filled his nose at that point he would have thrown her off and sought to disarm the attacker. But her scent, so easy to him, filled his nose and he allowed long arms to reach back and hold onto her legs, trapping her to his back in a piggy-back. He would have preferred a sweet voice in his ear to the yell he got, but the laugh that echoed in the small meadow by the spring was heartfelt and genuine.
"Well hello there, Miss Siku!"
He replied, attempting to swing her body round his own so she faced him on the ground instead of caught his back in her grip. Soon they would be living here together and he would see her almost every day. A stab of apprehension caught him as he thought of his morning rituals. Get up, bathe in the river, run until he was out of breath and energy. The compulsion to run was so strong in him that he doubted he would ever be able to stop. Would Siku mess this up? Perhaps not. Whether he got her to the ground or not he was unsure as Gideon moved into the clearing. Holding himself gingerly Saul could see that there was something very wrong with his brother. Concern darkened emerald eyes as he moved towards the black male. Hands automatically reached out to inspect what had happened to his arms as the younger of the brothers spoke.
"Gideon... what happened to you?"
He demanded, all thoughts of his house and his happy day washed from his mind. His brother was in pain and he was going to help him. Of course, Conor couldnt have picked a better time to show up. More distressing than his brother, their leader look downtrodden, exhausted. Saul looked between the two men most constant in his life with a certain amount of concern, worry and serious distress on his face. However, the small curve of Conor's lip said the Alpha was attempting to make everything normal and Saul begrudingly took up the act. A smile curled his lips upward as he very gently patted his brothers shoulder. Moving back towards Siku and the house Saul commented back to Conor.
"A labour of love... emphasis on the labour."
He smiled, trying to battle past the serious concern for his brother and his father-figure. Still, pride in his creation welled. It was crushed momentarily at Conor's comment before he saw the smile on the males lips. He was just teasing is all. Tail swinging back and forward for a moment Saul glanced at Siku and grinned.
"Not at all Conor... we were just talking!"
He offered, hoping Conor wouldnt say something to mess up their friendship. It was quite obvious to an older member that they were more than friends, but the pair didnt know it yet and didnt need to be told.
