I got a lovely bunch of coconuts do do do
#1
(forward dated to the 9th. Assume Kiara got Shiloh out of the house)

She had been so depressed since the day she lost her pups. She had locked herself away from the world, wouldn't eat or sleep well. She had stopped talking but had let Kiara coax her out of the room to go to the new pack. She knew the woman was scared to go alone so she went with her. Shiloh had lost weight since the river incident and she looked horrible, with bloody bandages on her side where she had hit something on her journey down stream. She looked at the white woman and gently licked her forehead, leaving Sarian with Aleo.

As soon as she was outside she shifted down to her lupus form, her body shifting fluidly, the bones shifting down and changing her form softly. She prided herself in her almost silent, non-painful shifting and she looked over a Kiara with dead eyes. Where were they going? waited for Kiara to lead and trudged quietly behind her, her thoughts far away. She wondered how X'yrin was doing. Shiloh knew her friend was pregnant but unlike Shiloh, she would have strong healthy pups. She hoped to be there to help the woman birth them but knew deep down that she herself wouldn't be trying for pups again anytime soon. The four pups she lost still weighted heavily on her mind and she only hoped that her relationship with Sarian grew stronger now. Shiloh whined softly and rubbed softly against her friend, wanting the closeness of another without all the questions. She nudged Kiara softly, careful of the wounds she carried. They were healing nicely and Kiara's fur did a good job hiding the most of them. The one on her stomach was healing rather nicely and Shiloh was proud of her handy work.

Maybe if she ever stopped being a sunya she could become a doctor for the pack, heal people. It would give her a reason to meet more of the pack and she looked forward to new friends. She might have something to look forward to. She also decided she wanted to train to become stronger. After her talk with Jace she was tired of being weakly. She would hunt more, eat more and grow strong. It was what she wanted. "Kiara where are we going," she asked in a soft voice.

This trip had taken some convincing, as both women needed to be heavily persuaded in order to leave Ichika no Ho-en. In fact, it had taken most of the night for Kiara to convince Shiloh to even leave her bed while Kiara had spent the entire day convincing herself that the trip was necessary. The snow wolf was still very afraid to leave the Ichikan boarders. The only thing that gave her the courage to travel so far away was that last time she left Ichika she had met up with Insomnia. Her meeting with the strange female was a positive reminder that there were many types of wolves in the world and not all were out to harm her. Armed with this knowledge, and with the desire to see her former pack brother Noah, she managed to convince both herself and Shiloh to take the trip. With dead eyes Shiloh waited for Kiara's to take the lead. "C'mon Shiloh, this trip will be a lot of fun." Her words were to reassure both wolves as they departed from their home.


The trip had taken a long time. Both women were still recovering from their injuries and Kiara still did not trust the neutral territories. Kiara's wounds were healing nicely, the red scars just barely visible beneath her winter coat. The wounds were a lot better now and offered the arctic wolf a winder range of movements. As they walked, Kiara did her best to hide her fears, but she was constantly searching for danger and her ears were high and alert. Shiloh on the other had, desired comfort and Kiara gave it to the grey women whenever she was asked. Their bodies rubbed up against each other, while soft and gentle licks were passed between the two wolves.


The main reason why Kiara had pestered Shiloh to take the trip was to get her out of the house. Even so, the grey wolf's mind was still clouded with grief and she barely processed Kiara's words. The Ikusei hoped that this trip to see their former pack brother would cheer Shiloh up and bring her out of her misery. "We are going to see Noah, remember? He lives in the new pack that is to the north. We will be there soon."


True to her word, the scent markers of the New Dawn pack could soon be found. Kiara halted several feet from the boarder, she did not want to be seen as a trespasser. The snow wolf stretched her neck out and raised her head just slightly as a long howl issued from her maw. It was a greeting howl and a call to Noah, one that traveled swiftly over the wintered lands. The rises and falls of the pitch unique to the snow wolf, but beautiful none the less. When the last note faded, Kiara sat back and waited.

Sorry for the wait girls.

The grey male had spent the last few days since he had talked to his mother, deep in thought. What had the male done? His mother spoke so freely and so happily about love, and being in love with the black female. It had made Noah think about what he had done. He didn’t mean to, he really didn’t. The silver male just wanted to be happy. The male could have only hoped that Rendall would have come to be by his side by now. It was not a test or anything like that. To see if there was still love in that relationship, for the silver male knew that she loved him, but the male was starting to question if she loved the pack that they were in just a bit more, or maybe it was something else, maybe it was that he had not given her a litter of pups? Oh the questions had done nothing but run though his head the last few days, and playing out everything that he could remember where he could have messed up just bad enough to where she wasn’t coming.

The howl came to him, his head jumped up, he knew that howl. The silver male quickly jumped to his paws leaving the den as he gave the bob cat a nip on the furry cat’s shoulders on her back. Stopping for only a second he gave a sway of his head motioning her to follow him. She must have heard the call also, as the she cat gave a sleepy yawn and then a nod and the two animals were off.

Reaching the border the silver male looked to the white wolf with a warm shake of his tail going up to her nipping her softly upon the cheek. Then seeing the grey lady that seemed to be just a few steps behind her, the male gave her a joyful woof and greeted her too in the friendly matter. The male had hoped that Rendall was behind the two ladies but so far it was just the two ladies. ” Kiara, and Shiloh! N..n..n..nice to see both o…o..of your w..w..w..wonderful faces!” The male spoke with a chipper tone. The male was ever so glad to see some of friends that he had left behind and turned his back on when he joined this new pack. The male would still welcome them to the borders and around the borders as if these friends where in the same pack as him.

Shiloh bowed her head to Noah before licking his face softly. "NA....namaste Noah. Excuse me if i don't talk much... I just recently miscarried my pups," she said softly looking down. She whined to Kiara and rubbed against her, her tears falling again. She lay down by Kiara's side, her eyes closed. She wanted to run but couldn't because of her side. Speaking of her side it was bleeding pretty bad. "Noah I need your help. Do you have any bandages and skullcap herb? My side is bleeding from my fall. I... haven't had much help from my mate lately and Kiara can only do so much," she said looking up at the grey male.

She didn't even remember Noah that well. But he had been there for Kiara so he was trustworthy right? She was starting to feel lightheaded. She was feeling sick and dizzy. She shouldn't have come. She started to licking at the wound before stopping. It hurt too much. "I am sorry. This is about the two of you. Kiara go talk to your friend. I'll stay here..." she said closing her eyes again

Seeing the silver male again was wonderful. Kiara could barely contain her excitement as Noah ran towards them. She wanted so badly to run towards him, but with the injured Shiloh next to her and the boarders of a strange pack before her she stayed still. Or at least, as still as could be. Her tail was wagging furiously and her body shook like an over excited pup. When Noah came close Kiara jumped happily in the air and showed him with kisses. She laughed as he licked her cheek and barely took notice of the bob cat that stood in Noah's wake. "It is great to see you too. How have you been Noah? Enjoying the new pack?" Kiara was curious about New Dawn. She had met one of it's members before and wondered what it was like.


Shiloh's words broke Kiara's heart all over again. The miscarriage of her pups was a devastating loss and a horrible event for the two females, Shiloh more so than Kiara. The snow wolf turned and licked Shiloh on the forehead, giving her a comforting whine and hopping she would cheer up. The wound on her side had opened again and Kiara sniffed it tentatively. She would have licked it if didn't hurt the grey female so much. "Lie down Shiloh, your not well." Kiara couldn't help but wonder if it was a mistake to bring Shiloh here. If she should have let Shiloh stay back in Ichika and gone alone. But if Kiara hadn't insisted on the trip then Shiloh would have stayed cooped up in her room, not moving. "Don't worry Shiloh, I'm not going anywhere. Noah and I won't abandon you. Right Noah?" The snow wolf looked towards the silver male, he had been so helpful when she was injured, so it was only right to reason that he would stay too and watch over Shiloh.

OOC junk goes here.

He watched the silver and white lady as she spoke about losing her litter. The male felt sad for her. He lowered his head, as he gave a nod. He wasn’t sure what it was like to have a litter of pups of his own, let alone to have the horrible feeling of loosing that life inside of you, that joy that you and you alone have the great honor and pride of carrying on the love you have to another being.

Dipping his head as he greeted the lady, so many of the pack members that he had left was sticking with the greeting, it just wasn’t something that Noah felt was him. The more the male thought upon that topic he don’t believe he had greeted someone once with bowing down to them in that manner. ”I have s…s..spider webs and moss. My m..m..mom is the healer.” The male spoke truthfully. He had been getting an interest that was learning the herbs and uses for them, but other than the basic first aid he knew nothing.

The silver male looked to the white lady that he cared for in a wonderful way. He lowered his head chucking as he stepped into her warming touches as he allowed his tail to show how happy he was to have her around him. She was in a much different state the last time he had seen her, and now here she was happy as could be, like a pup almost. ”Yes!” The howled out in a low tone as he playfully nipped at her as he returned the tender licks.
The silver male took a step back to allow Kiara to tend to the pack member, he would have hoped that the pack sister would stick together, and would take care of each other then they needed it. It was something that the pack had been very good at, and that was carrying for it members and any other vagabond that came to the borders that needed any help. Upon the questioning if he would stay or go, he shook his head. He was not going to just leave some one here, not till they were ready to return to the pack that they had came from. ”It would be r..r..rude to leave you.”
