Indeed it had taken her longer than anticipated to get everything finally sorted out and as a result it was a bit of time after the last of them had shifted that Jace was ready to present them with their gifts. The thing that had actually held everything up was the building of Dalgina's easel which had perplexed Temo and Jace but eventually they had it complete along with a few homemade paintbrushes and some traded for paper and paint. For Pandora there was a beautiful metal flute that was adorned with all sorts of wonderful patterns along with a book Temo had managed to find, a beginner's guide to using it. Honrin had his bleached white bow and arrows with their brightly colored feather tips and a tanned leather quiver to hold them in. Keldava who was so much like Jace, so willing to protect, for her Jace had made hardened leather bracers and greaves as well as adapted the polar bear pelt she had found at the winter festival into a luxurious cloak with a gold coin as the clasp.

All of them were away from the house when Temo and Jace finally decided they were ready and pulled the gifts out of their hidden places. She had the news of her pregnancy to give to them too. Every now and again she would catch Temo's eye and they would smile together secretly. They had started this adventure together, now the page was turning to the next chapter. Now that they both were ready Jace threw back her hair and called for their young to join them, after a few seconds of apprehension Temo joined in on the authoritative call. Slowly her children began to trickle home, she greeted each one as they arrived but waited for all of them to appear before announcing the news they had to share. There were smiles all around from Jace and Temo before Jace stepped forwards to speak to them all as their matriarch,

"I want you to know just how proud your father and I are of all of you for reaching this point in your lives. You've started on the road to becoming independent adults with your own ranks and roles now. And we have gifts for each of you that will help you on your chosen paths. But before we do that I have some important news to share with you... you'll soon have new brothers and sisters to play with and look after because I'm pregnant."

Dalgina had left her family with Tehu. They were sitting in Taru's house, talking with her about different things that had shown up in her life. She was happy with the art she had been making, glad that she had hands, even if it had come later than her oldest siblings. At least she hadn't been as fearful about the change as Keldava, left for last. Legs swinging happily she lifted her head as Mahn's cry came out. That was odd. Papa's voice joined in, and Dalgina dropped off the counter. Tehu took to the air as they raced across, wondering what the call could possibly be about. They hadn't been called together like this for a while.

Entering in she found her siblings arrived, Mahn smiling happily to greet her. Settling on the floor Dalgina watched, Tehu's wings flapping as he rested on her shoulder once more, listening for what they'd be told. Dalgina's tail wagged as Mahn spoke, happy that she had made them proud. She wanted to do her best for them, she really did. She loved her family, and didn't ever want to leave them. The day Mahn spoke of when they first came wouldn't come for her. Told that Mahn was pregnant Dalgina's ears flattened, realizing what that meant. She was excited for the siblings, not so excited knowing how siblings came to be. When?

It had been a perplexing challenge to Temo on how to build an easel, considering that he had never seen one before. But Temo liked challenges like this and with pictures, a number of attempts, help from Jace, and a bit of luck, they managed to get one made. The real challenge was keeping everything a secret to inquisitive children when they were about.

There was a level of excitement within Temo as he and Jace gathered together the gifts that had been prepared for their offspring. Part of his excitment was for the news that they had to tell the family. The news that the family would soon be getting bigger.

After the call was sent out for their children to return home and gather around, Temo quietly waited with Jace as the others slowly arrived and gathered around, his ears forward and a smile on his muzzle with anticipation. After their children arrived, no, not children any more, they have grown to young adults now. There had been a few bumps and scrapes along the way and they deserved to be considered adults now. It was with those thoughts that wee the last to go through his mind when Jace stepped forward and spoke the words that reflected both of their thoughts.

ooc: yay so happy I found time to respond to this. Pandy is so excited

Pandora had been learning a new dance all that morning. From the rise of the sun she had been practicing. Her hands becoming ever more fluent in waving about the faded purple scarf she had found. Her voice hummed in broken tune but the music constantly within her mind remained uninterrupted by the heaves of her breath. She found herself far hungrier these days since she shifted. Probably because she had been doing nothing but dancing and moving. She loved her legs. When she completed her new choreographed dance once more (of many) a pleasant feel of nearly perfecting it fell upon her. That's when she heard the call.

A smile drew upon her maw and she took off running with a delightful hop in her step as always. She had hoped to greet her family with hugs (as she adored her arms nearly as much as her legs) but felt it was important to allow things to just go their course. She did how ever carefully gave her brother's arm a gentle touch and a soft smile fell upon her. She looked to her mother and listened intently and when the announcement of a coming litter was revealed. Excitement bubbled and exploded in her body resulting in a squeal and hop as her hands clapped together. Thats wonderful! She looked to her mother for permission to approach in hopes to release her bubbling excitement into a hug for her mother and father.

Late sorry D:

Keldava's ears twitched rapidly as she followed the sounds of her family congregating back to the house; the strong scent of blood filling her nostrils preventing her from following the scents as she normally would. Ever since she had made her first catch Keldava had been hunting as often as she could, enjoying the feeling of supplying herself with food from large game rather than scrounging off of others. Thankfully control of her Secui form had come much easier than that of her Optime and now that she could control the movement of her powerful form easily, hunting was usually successful to some degree.

Todays hunt had actually been one of the unsuccessful ones; the wounds that Keldava had managed to inflict on her prey had been mostly superficial, though she had caught a few decent sized blood vessels judging by how much she had been bled on, and she had lost it when Mahnaya's call distracted her so, despite her crimson stained face and muzzle Keldava's stomach was empty as she trotted along, keeping a sedate pace to avoid using up much more energy but staying in her Secui form anyway; even when she didn’t need it Keldava liked the powerful feel of her enlarged muscles, especially when she could move slowly and savour the sensation.

Keldava arrived at the gathering last and barked out a greeting before she plonked herself down next to 'Gina, thwapping her tail against her sisters side. Keldava started to pant to work off some of the heat she had built up hunting, tongue trailing out of her mouth happily and catching against the blood coating her chin, causing Keldava to lick her lips several times before she realised she was doing it.

Keldava's tail beat against the ground when Mahnaya spoke of being proud of them all; with how much Keldava respected her mother such praise his home for her. Her tail stilled in shock momentarily, mouth hanging wide open in a display of shock and razor sharp teeth before it snapped shut and Keldava's tail resumed movement, beating the ground even faster than before. "New Orej?!" she exclaimed happily, lunging forwards towards Mahnaya and stopping just short in a play bow, prancing about and mock lunging several more times in excitement, half circling her mother as she did so, "When!? What're they gonna be called!? Can I play with them!?"

Honrin Wolfe-Denahlii · 07-14-2012, 12:52 PM

Honrin was the last to arrive, he had raced his way all the way from the other side of Cercatori and even passed then out of the pack lands to answer his Mahn's call. Such loyalty the hybrid arctic woman inspired from her children, it was heartening to see and any mother worth her fangs would be jealous of the way Jace's children adored her. Just like his dark sister that had stopped several long moments before him he arrived with a skidded stop and fast pants of his lolling tongue, trying to regain his breath from his dash across Cercatori.

The boy was in optime form and stood taller than everybody gathered there, including their father, who he was half an inch taller than now. He looked down upon his short but ferocious mother and felt the warmth bleeding into his heart, beating around his body. He swelled up proudly at their praise and then his jaw dropped open in shock at her revelation before clicking shut sharply. His tail suddenly had a mind of its own, whipping through the air so fast it was almost a blur. Keldava danced forwards and Panodra squealed, only Dalgina didn't look as happy as the rest of them and he was silently upset for her for a few seconds before a powerful rush of emotions overcame him and most higher thought deserted him.

He jumped forwards too, reaching out his long arms to pull them all inwards, even the secui Keldava and reclusive Temo whilst simultaneously falling to his knees in front of his mother. Even on his knees his head reached her chest as he held them all close in an uncharacteristic show of elation,

"That's amazing!"

Jace Wolfe · 07-14-2012, 01:02 PM

She laughed, she was carefree at this moment, surrounded by them all. Even the thoughts of their gifts driven out of her head as Honrin brought them all together, his head resting against her chest. Her arms were not so long as his and she could only surround two at a time but she did so, placing a kiss on top of each of their heads. The question most of them wanted to know, when.

"Two months. Not long at all. Of course Keldava but they have to grow before you can, at first they're tiny, about a paw's length long." She held up her paw to show just how tiny. "You were all the same, so small I could pick you up with one hand." Their little family that for so long had been just herself and Temo was growing once again, she liked the idea of a large family. She never wished for them like the year that she had done, alone and lost, unloved and frightened. Gradually her mind returned to her and she remembered the other reason for calling them all together,

"Come on now. We still have the gifts for you to give out."

Keldava settled next to her, Dalgina immediately turning and bumping happily against her. The sight of blood shocked her mind. Was Keldava injured? Partial flashes of a broken memory entered her mind. The group gathering, Ichika together as a pack. Mahn, coated in blood and so proud. The despair and pain that followed. Was something bad going to happen? She whined, leaning over and nuzzling at her sister. Worry flooded through her with the thought of what might be. She didn't like this very much.

Keldava's reaction to the news did settle her a little, even if she was feeling uneasy about the amount of blood that was involved. Dalgina was afraid it meant something bad would be coming. It scared her. Honrin managed to scoop them all together somehow, drawing them into a hug. All worries vanished, laughing happily as she shared in the joy of being with her family. She loved them all so much. A kiss showered onto her head, assuring her that everything was alright and joyous. No need to worry at all. I love the puppies! Even if they did come about in a way she didn't want to think about. Nodding Dalgina backed up, eager to see what she would get.

It was quite a sight to Temo seeing the family together. It brought the memories of when they were born, all of them so tiny that they fit in the palm of his hand. Even Honrin who now was starting to tower over him once barely filled his hand. It amazed him how nature had come up with a way for something that was so small to grow so large. He had read in some human book that everyone started out as two really tiny cells, which everyone was made up of billions upon uncountable billions of these objects that were too tiny to be able to see, that merged together to begin the growing process and into what he saw before him.

He was overjoyed to see that everyone was happy to hear the news that there was another litter on it's way and he wondered who of the four would be the first to start their own family. Temo was mildly surprised when he was suddenly engulfed by Honrin's long arms and pulled tight together with the rest. "I best not get into an argument with him, he can probably beat the crap out of me" he thought jokingly to himself.

After the group family hug, he rejoined jace to stand next to her to assist in the handing out of gifts. We are so proud of all of you for how you all are making a place for yourselves, despite the occasional rock in the trail tripping you up, you all have done amazingly well and we cannot express enough our pride in you.
