Alex comes in after a few posts between us so Ly puts Emwe under the floorboards first? I'm pping his mood, but you told me on msn to make him distraught so in your face! <3

//Emwe Soul


tar det siste verset av en sang han ikke kan

The boy looked up at his husky protector, his face a frown of heavy thought. He was acting strangely, stranger than he did, besides the name-calling and well.. all the other stuff. So he was acting increasingly weird - yeah! That was it! He was weirder than normal.. Just because Conor took a walk? Conor took a walk outside, and now the grown male couldn't find him. Well duh, Conor was good at hiding, Emwe always had trouble with that. Emwe was too fat to find any hiding spots that were good, and Conor was just too good at finding him anyway! That's why Emwe never played like that with his brother anymore, but obviously this nice uncle of theirs hadn't understood that. All he had to do was to look properly. He was grown up! Grown ups did that - find things. Especially when they shouldn't be found. Secretly, the little boy wished someone would find his momma, because he hadn't seen her today, and somehow he didn't like the feeling it gave him. The young boy sat there simply looking at the mix whose care he was left in, puzzled, bored and amazed. Grown-ups were odd, truly. Good thing Emwe would never become one, then!


His eyes traced the movements of the grown male, and finally the boy dared to speak up - not because he didn't normally dare, of course(!), but it was weird to see his caretaker in this state. 'e's just 'iding, you knows... His nose was lifted slightly higher than usual, as the boy was proud of knowing things the other obviously did not. He was certain Conor would grow tired of the game he was playing soon enough, and return to them. It was just silly to behave like the mix did, really.

Lysander’s smile at the boy was real. More and more as the two little toys talked with him, he was amazed at the young boys he kept. Their emerging personalities were a wonderful thing to watch unfold, and Ly liked to think that his “parenting skills” had something to do with that. Oliver and Jake were fine young men, plus their small children speech always put a smile on the husky’s lips. Words from their mouth sounded much cuter than words from anyone else’s. Still, even little Oliver’s comforting words did not keep the smile too long, he was worried about Jake.


“Well, I wish Jakie wouldn’t hide on me. It’s nerve-wrackin’’.” Lysander stared down at the tiny bit of venison left in his hands. Of course, as he did most nights he gave the boys, or tonight just the boy, first pick of the meat but Ly had lost his appetite and couldn’t finish. He was too worried. What if something happened to Jake? Further more, what if Conor told on him? What if they came away to take away Emwe? Lysander had closed up the cabin and locked the door, and he sat with his back to the window, his bulk blocking out any onlooker’s view of Emwe. Still, Conor’s scent clearly led away from his cabin, and though he had tracked the boy for a while at one point he had to return to Oliver. He still had one pup to care for. “Ya want anymore?” He held the meat out to pudgy little Oliver and smiled. He liked watching the boy eat and Lysander was always reminded of the story of the old witch fattening up the children to eat, but he never said so. He didn’t like to tell Oliver and Jake scary stories, he only told them about butterflies and rainbows and kitty cats. “Ya want a story before bed little sir?”

The mix responded and Emwe frowned again. Well duh, that's how the game works! Well perhaps not with the nerve... thing, because he had no idea what that meant. He used a lot of weird words, at least from time to time, and Emwe liked to try to pronounce them. neeer-acking! neeer-acking? He wasn't that little anymore, in fact he was quite big! At least everyone said so. He was bigger than Conor too, or maybe he was just fatter, but it was still size. He still thought some words were a bit hard though, even though he was so big, and as he tried to pronounce it the second time he lifted a hopefully smiling face to his caretaker. Was it right? Was it?


A piece of meat was presented to Emwe, but he wasn't really that hungry anymore. He had been alone a little while today, and it had been so boring - now he had no energy left. He shook his head silently, still sitting very still on the floor, looking to the husky. He asked if Emwe wanted a story before bed, and the boy smiled up - not immediately because of the story, but the nickname at the end of the sentence. Sir! Only grown-ups, and fancy grown-ups were sirs. Daddy was probably one. But Emwe was so little! Oh - that's why he was a little sir! Conor wasn't! He'd tell him the second he got tired of hiding. But Emwe did want a story, oh yes, but he'd wondered for some time if his caretaker knew anything a bit more exciting than all the butterflies and stuff. Maybe you can tells the story of a bear or - oh! Maybe Conor gets eatened by one! Tell that story! Emwe's imagination often made things up like that, and it had gotten much exercise today when he'd been left alone with no one to torment with all his ideas. Emwe'd stood up by now, and his tail wagged furiously with excitement. As a child he failed miserably at seeing the dark side of this - as he knew nothing of death. He knew what he ate was dead and stuff, but that didn't apply to wolves, of course. Conor could never die, there was no such thing! Oh what an adventure it would be for him, to be eaten by a bear!

One more Emwe post then Alexey can jump in?


“Nerve-wrackin’.” Lysander confirmed the pup’s pronunciation, even if it wasn’t completely spot on. “Conundrum. Jake missin’ is such a conundrum.” He gave the boy another word, he liked teaching them things, though it felt a little pointless with Conor missing. He hoped the boy would find his way back home, but if he had to settle for one of the two, at least he still had Emwe. Oliver was less trouble than Jake anyway. They both were curious and constantly asking questions, but Conor challenged Ly more than Emwe, and sometimes Ly couldn’t come up with answers fast enough. He smiled, opening up one of the floor board and putting the venison away. They could eat it for breakfast.




Steel gray eyes, matching his smoky gray pelt, twinkled as Oliver described the story he wanted. Lysander couldn’t help but chuckled, the story idea amused him, it was a good plot. It would have scared him, if Ly didn’t know that Conor’s fate was more likely to be eaten by a coyote or rouge wolf, or starve to death, but he wouldn’t think about that. He’d just go searching for Conor again in the morning, maybe take Emwe with him then. “Alright, alright, let’s see… Well little naughty Jake decided to go off on his own one day, and much to his dismay the day quickly turned to night, the sun extinguished itself and a blanket of darkness quickly took over Phoenix Valley. Little Jake hadn’t been out in the night by himself before, uncle Ly made sure good boys were in bed before then, but naughty little Jake decided he was too scared. That is until he heard something followin’ him…” Ly lowered his voice, hoping to build the suspense, although of course Emwe already knew the end of this story. “Crunch, creak, crack. Those were the noises Jakie heard and when he turned around not only did he see glowing red eyes, but a big mouth of razor teeth, drippin’ with salvia.”



Lysander paused, wondering if perhaps this story was getting too scary for Emwe, but he had started it, he needed to finish it. ”SNAP! Om nom nom. The great big bear gobbled up Jake in one bite. In the morning uncle Ly and Oliver went looking for naughty Jake, but all they found as a big of bones. They never saw little Jake again.” There, the story was concluded, and like most of his stories it had a good morel. “So you see Oliver, it’s much safer staying inside here, no bears in the cabin.” He lifted up the floor board, revealing the biggest compartment. It might seem empty now, with Conor missing, but Ly had been just a little more hay in there for the boy, now that his brothers wasn’t there to keep him warm. “Ready for bed little sir?” He gestured to the hole in the floor and smiled fondly at the child. He was the good one anyway, Ly decided it would be okay if they didn’t find Conor.

Ugh, had to re-write this four times! Sad Stupid laptop..
And yes - Alex's turn now!

//Emwe Soul

Lysander confirmed and Emwe's tail went crazy with activity behind him, as if his whole bottom would lift if he wagged any faster. He was right! He was such a big smart boy. A great smile on his face quickly disappeared as the husky served him another word to play with. con..connnnond..conndram? Conndram! The boy had no idea what it meant, but that didn't matter much. It sounded a bit like "Conor", too! If he said the weird words people would probably think that he was smart! He would like that very much, to be smart. Emwe repeated the word inside his head a few times as his eyes followed the movements of his caretaker who was putting the meat away under the floor. It was strange, because Conor and Emwe also slept under the floor. Were they food too? Although, uncle Lysander would never eat them, he knew that much. He was nice, and Emwe liked him very much, even if he was weird.


As his caretaker told the story he'd requested, Emwe's eyes grew larger and larger, both because he was amazed and giving his full attention, but also because he was just a little bit thrilled. It didn't take long before his body was suddenly in a sitting position again, and his tail swung less quickly by the second, soon almost not moving at all. All of his energy and attention was focused on this story, and one could see the images that flew before his eyes inside his imagination, one would understand his amazement. Only when the part where the full picture of the bear was introduced did he show any real sign of fear, and his ears bent slightly, halfway flat against his head as he realized that it might not be a wholly good situation for his brother. Although, it couldn't be that bad being bear-food, since it was an adventure, but still - in his mind - the creature was a display of pure, raw evil. The boy suppressed the urge to lay down and flatten his fluffed self against the floorboards, he had an image to look after, after all. Such a big and clever boy couldn't be scared, wouldn't be scared! No, he was brave, so brave, not even a little scared. Luckily he didn't have to fight it as much after the highpoint of the story, as the eating part went quite smoothly and then the whole story was over with. Of course Emwe could not relate to the bear eating his brother in the same way as he himself ate things - no, the bear simply swallowed Conor whole - naturally there would be no scene of actual violence.


As the husky concluded that the cabin indeed was the better place to be, the little boy nodded and quickly smiled again - the fear was already vanishing out of his system. Bed-time now, yes it was. And a little sir he was, again! Soon his tail was wagging, and the fleeting attention of his mind made certain that any horror from the story was now forgotten. No worry existed in his little mind, no anxiety for the safety of his brother. He'd always been good at hiding, and Emwe had full confidence that the lost child was simply toying with them all. Is bedtime! The young boy was still not physically tired - after all he'd been sitting alone for parts of the day - and now he bounced around the husky male the last seconds he could, before he went to his sleeping spot. It was a little crowded, under the floor, and Emwe didn't like that so much. But now that Conor was on an adventure there was so much more room! So much more comfortable - Emwe had everything to himself! It was quite nice, perhaps Conor should go hide more often, he thought. It should be a comfortable change. Quickly snuggling himself into a good position, wiggling this way and that, his activity soon slowed down and he felt quite drowsy. It was amazing how quickly that boy could fall asleep.

OMGIMSRY4THEWAIT&SUCKINESS. 300+

Alexey had spent quite some time wondering how she’d react upon retrieving Dahlia’s youngest members. It definitely wasn’t an easy thing to predict; all depended on the circumstances she was presented with. They were already three months old now. Oh, how time flew! How much had they grown during their absence? The children had more than likely developed their own personality by now, so which one was the little rebel? Had they already forgotten about their birth pack? Endless questions paired with unfounded insecurities were driving the caregiver on the verge of insanity.

Extensive research led her to Phoenix Valley once again. It wasn’t that she didn’t trust DaVinci’s flair but it had dawned on her sometime after their conversation that she actually knew the pups, and he didn’t. It wouldn't hurt if she took a guided tour of the pack lands, right? However, Alexey didn’t even have time to call for the sub leader; a scent all too familiar caught her attention before she could do so. Conor; it was him. There was no doubt about it. No hesitation was given before stepping over the border and venturing into forbidden territory. Rules and regulations meant nothing to her now. Not when it came to rescuing children that belonged to Dahlia de Mai.

Conor’s trail, growing fainter by the second, led her to a little cabin. Where one puppy’s smell seemed to fade, the other one’s became more imposing. What the hell was going on? Although Emwe and Conor weren’t her own children, Alexey became as dangerous as an enraged mother. Her upper lip was already curled into a nasty snarl; a blunt warning to whoever felt like opposing her. Her attempt at using the door knob was futile, so she went for plan B. “Open the damn door, you bastard!” she screamed, promptly clenching her right hand into a fist and taking a swing at the wooden door.


Where the tawny woman found the strength to actually put a dent into the wood was a mystery. But she did. And she didn’t plan on stopping.

Obediently the chubby child climb into the hole, curling up and contenting to sleep. “Goodnight Oliver, sweetest dreams!” And he pulled the covering over the hole, smiling to himself. Yes, the child was a good one, he was proud even. Laying his head flat against the floor he could barely hear breathing on the other side, but he waited and waited, patiently and happy, until the breathing became even, shallow and nearly impossible to hear. The boy was asleep and Ly pulled himself to the side happily. Grabbing up the deer skin Whinnifred had gifted him, he made his own bed and shut his eyes, thinking about Conor and what to do about the missing child.



The loud banging startled him and he got up with a start. Steel eyes moved to the door, no one came for him so late, and certainly not so angrily. The women’s voice on the other side was unrecognizable, and he muttered to himself pulling himself up and towards the door. “Who is knock, knock, knockin’ at my door?” Lysander said this out loud, loud enough for Emwe to hear if he had awakened, and it was a signal. A signal for the child to remain quite while Lysander disposed of their visitor, who might be a threat to the child, or so Ly had told them.



Opening the door wide he came face to face with the angry women, knowing full well that she could see inside him completely empty cabin. Aside from the deer skin he had just been asleep on, the floor, walls and everything was bare. The bulky husky stood over her, he was rather tall in his luperci form, and peered down at the dent in his door, rubbing his chin calmly. “Well now, what’s this? A midnight mistress who goes about causin’ property damage? Hmm.” His words were even, almost warm, and his eyes twinkled amusedly. What did she want?

//Emwe Soul


tar det siste verset av en sang han ikke kan

Emwe's dreams were full of bears and them eating his brother when uncle Ly's voice broke through his adventure and force him back to the not-so-shiny reality. It hadn't been a nightmare, because in his dream he was saving his brother from his (probably) painful fate, with the most extravagant display of skill and strength. The pup hadn't heard the woman's voice, however, but judging from what his uncle was saying, he understood that this was one of those times when Emwe would have to lie very still and be a good boy, because the husky had already told him that something like this might happen. Emwe liked to pay attention and do the nice things, people were happy when he did the nice things. People who were happy made him happy. But now that he was awake, he heard that someone was knocking, or perhaps crashing at the door. He wondered why this person wasn't so happy. At the same time a familiar scent vaguely tickled his nostrils - why, it was sort of like mummy smelled. And daddy too. But there was something else, and Emwe knew - in a way - that he didn't know the person who was crashing at uncle Ly's cabin door. Suddenly he felt slightly worried, and his ears lay flat against his skull in the darkness under the floorboards. It was as if the space, which was quite large now that Conor was out on an adventure, shrunk with every second. But uncle Ly spoke and then it was a little bit better. The impressions flashed over the boy's personality so fast that he barely had time to regard either, but the slight anxiety and the awkwardness at noticing his pack's smell (for that was what he'd smelled) lingered, and he didn't know exactly what to do about that. Instead he simply put every ounce of attention he had in him into listening to what was going on. Hopefully uncle Lysander would scare the not-so-happy person with the weird smell away.

Slight PP. Let me know if you want it changed Kris. <3 300+

Alexey was about to give that door another piece of her mind when it suddenly opened, revealing a well-built male with strange markings. Definitely not someone she’d met before. It took a whole lot of willpower not to bop him on the nose right then and there, if she could even reach that far. Whoever this husky was, his physical built gave him the upper hand. But amazingly enough, it mattered very little to the caregiver. She’d spent what seemed like an eternity searching for those boys and now that she was so close to finding them, it was going to take more than a beefy male to stop her.

His behavior was what irked her the most. Oh, he needed to just drop the act and hand over the kids. “Shut up,” she ordered, pushing past him and entering his barren home. It was empty, aside from the deer skin on the floor. Alexey spun around to meet the man’s gaze; confusion and self-doubt were expressed through her amber-colored eyes. Something wasn’t right. They were nowhere to be seen but she could definitely smell at least one of them. “I know they’re around here somewhere,” she started, her eyes burning with hatred. “Why don’t you spare yourself a whole lot of trouble and give them to me, unless you want all of Dahlia de Mai knocking at your door.”

Her comment was paired with a grimace. He disgusted her. This mutt was no better than a pedophile. Lexey sincerely hoped he hadn’t brought any harm to the Lillium’s children. She didn’t wait for him to reply before calling out their names, trusting one of them would remember her. “Emwe? Conor? Where are you guys?” If that didn’t work, she would have to call for DaVinci.

The angry women pushed past him and straight into his home. For a moment Ly wondered if he should be upset or offended, but decided against both. Instead he gave her his most charming smile, his arm sweeping the room. “Welcome to my home, miss.” He ignored her command to shut up, just as he hoped Emwe would ignore her calls. So far he was being a good boy, and Lysander was so proud, he had taught him well. Later he would have to get Emwe a present for being so good.



“Excuse me, Dahlia de what?” His voice was still warm, friendly. It wasn’t as if she could tear through his home searching for the children, he had nothing for her to tear through. “Who are ya searching for anyway? Maybe I can help ya look.” He knew she was only going to shout and scream more, maybe even throw in a few insults, but Lysander was a gentlemen and always ready to help out a lady.

So quiet, so quiet - Emwe was a good boy! He was such a good boy, doing exactly what uncle Ly had told him to do, but still the little bedroom he had under the floor seemed to be shrinking. The angry woman was getting angrier, too, and she was using words Emwe did not understand. But uncle Ly was nice to her - which was strange! Perhaps the angry and weird-smelling woman was just playing a game with uncle Ly - sometimes they did that, and then they were like different persons, and in a wholly different place than the cabin. For another second Emwe's mind raced through possible scenarios, though it was hard when he didn't understand all the woman had said, until his mind-play was interrupted by his name called out. Instinctively, his tail started to wag furiously - his name! It was him, he was right here! He almost squealed in excitement, before he remembered what uncle Ly had said, but then the woman was so strange smelling, and he could hear her walking around on he floor. Footsteps rang in his ears (they could be very loud to ears that weren't so old, and when they were right over you!), and all the tension in the air made the poor puppy feel rather uncomfortable. In fact - though he had of course never told anyone this - sometimes the little bedroom under the floorboards wasn't so great, sometimes it was very small. Too small, as if it was choking him, or at least that's what it felt like. Emwe didn't like it, but he wanted to seem brave with everyone, and that's why he hadn't said. But now that the woman was so angry and walked around all over the place, Emwe's excitement quickly died, and his tail stopped wagging - the "bedroom" was shrinking, he was sure! His ears lay flat against his skull again, and after trying to survive it for what seemed like ages, a puny whimper escaped his muzzle. Oh, he didn't want to be here now! He wanted to be upstairs! One front leg pawed once, twice at the boards over his head, and he whimpered again. When uncle Ly was being so nice it couldn't mean something bad, could it? Oh, he just wanted to go up there instead, even if the woman was angry and smelled weird!

Oh, she wasn’t a happy camper. And this male was making things worse by playing stupid. He wasn’t really a brainless idiot, Alexey knew that much. Sneaking into Dahlia de Mai and leaving without a trace required plenty of skills; as a matter of fact, she still couldn’t understand how he’d managed to do such a thing without getting caught. It was nearly impossible. Plenty of questions raced through her mind. Why had he kidnapped the pups in the first place? The Caregiver ignored his “Dahlia de what?” inquiry, refusing to waste saliva over the likes of him.

When he offered to help her find whoever it was she was searching for, a growl rose in the back of her throat. That filthy dog was infuriating! Before she could even react, scratching came from below. She took a step back, amber gaze moving to the floor boards. Her eyes were wide with shock, her face now flushed with rage. “That’s who I’m looking for. Get him out of there.” she ordered, her tone of voice dangerously low. She could’ve lifted the floor board herself, but she was giving him a chance to comply.

If he refused, she’d take the pups and let the Lillium himself come back and finish this. Lexey kneeled to the floor and attempted to find the compartment on her own, calling out to little Emwe below. It was clear now that Conor wasn’t being kept in the same place; his scent wasn’t strong enough. She’d question his whereabouts once she retrieved the other child. “Emwe,” she started, her tone of voice a little softer now. “Lexey’s gonna take you to mummy and daddy.”

The whimpers and scratching from the floor boards were unmistakable as a puppy in distress. With his cover blown, Lysander freely chose a few choice words to swear under his breath as he moved in between the women and the moving floor board. “ Go back to sleep Oliver!” His voice boomed with authority, his eyes glared down at the women. No way was she of all people going to take his pup from him. He had worked hard keeping them alive, feeding them, playing with them, protecting them... all that hard work for what? Some looney lady to come and sweep him away? And so soon after losing Conor? It was not fair and he would not go down without a fight.



“Get out of my house now.” He took a threatening step towards her, his lips slowly uncovering the pearly fangs. Shifted, his claws were longer and sharper than normal, and his was bigger, that was an advantage, but he didn’t really want to hurt her. Not if he didn’t have to. And certainly not in front of the boy. He would never want Emwe thinking badly of him, not in a million years.

Oh the confinement, the small space! The walls were going to eat him alive, or squish him! The boy had no notion of death, but he did have a notion of pain, and the whole process didn't seem very tempting in his mind. His imagination was perhaps overly active, but then again he had been shaken out of his sleep, into a very noisy and angry reality. Soon enough though, his clawing attracted attention, of both kinds. The angry woman's voice wasn't quite so angry, and she said his name again. She would take him home to mommy and daddy? But what about uncle Ly? It wasn't as if he didn't like mommy and daddy - of course he liked them! He liked uncle Ly too, though. But right now it didn't matter, because all he wanted was to get out of this tiny tiny room, so small, too small! When Ly's voice boomed through the room the boy shrunk to probably half his size, that was how much he pushed his limbs to his body, but soon enough he was scratching at the floorboards again, more frantic now. He grew more stressed with the negativity in the room, the storm gathering, threatening his feeling of peace and safety - the tension ripping through what had been a good day, and ripping it to fragments.


A whimper escaped him, louder this time. Why wasn't anyone taking him out of here? He wanted to get out! This room was going to eat him! Still he tried to understand what the two adults were saying and doing, what they were up to, and whether uncle Ly was going to let the angry woman take him back to mommy and daddy. Two paws still worked furiously, as if to dig him out to safety. Safety from the viciousness of his walls and their confinement. Yelling to get his caretaker's attention, the boy mustered whatever sound he had in him, nearly squeaking his little sentence out. Uncle Ly! Is so small in here!

Oliver? Amber-colored eyes flared up with distinct anger. Had he renamed the kids? How dare he! The husky’s demeanor changed completely, he’d gone from amiable to enraged within a split second. Alexey’s mouth dropped open as he took a threatening step forward. Never would she have expected the dumb-looking male to become so imposing. What had she gotten herself into? Dreyrugr’s words suddenly came flooding back to her. This was exactly why he rarely allowed her to leave the pack lands by herself. Lexey was not a fighter, unlike Dahlia de Mai’s Adonis. She barely knew how to defend herself!

However, the rage boiling inside of her was intense enough to wash away all signs of fear. Emwe and Conor belonged with their parents, not this psycho. “His name’s Emwe,” she spat, a hint of indignation and annoyance behind the words spoken. What kind of name was Oliver anyway? Alexey grimaced, showing her distaste for the child’s new name. From her kneeling position, the idiot dog seemed even more dangerous. Alexey had to look up to meet his gaze, and that’s when she noticed the ugly snarl on his face. “I’ll leave once you give me the kid,” she countered, mimicking his expression by displaying her fangs too.

She was about to stand up when a loud whimper came from below. Emwe’s scratching made it easy to pinpoint his location and Alexey attempted to move around the man standing between her and the pup. It was pointless. Without his consent, it was unlikely that she’d get her hands on the child. “You sicken me! Get him out of there or I’m calling DaVinci!” she threatened, her voice almost hysterical. Oh she planned on making quite a scene.

The woman was fussing, the boy was fussing and neither of them indicated that they’d shut up soon. The two of them were giving him a headache. The woman and her silly threats, Lysander laughed sincerely at the idea of calling DaVinci. The man was a clown, just like every other being in this pack. But little Oliver was growing more frightened and uncomfortable as the moments passed so Lysander strode over to the women and knocked her out of the way, kneeling down to open up the floorboard that revealed Emwe squirming inside.




Holding the child close to his chest, Lysander looked over the boy’s head at the women, knowing she couldn’t snatch him just right out of his arms. Conor was gone, he did not want to give up Emwe. Firefly would one day come back for them, but the idea of just leaving these lands with the boy was still floating about. His voice softened, became genuinely warm and comforting towards the boy. “Oliver, my little sir, do ya know this women? She wants ya to go with her.” His eyes went back up to the Dahlia female and he glowered.

//Emwe Soul


tar det siste verset av en sang han ikke kan

Suddenly, in all his confinement and panic, two hands reached out for him, and then he was with his caretaker, safely nested as he held the boy. Emwe was not aware of the fact that he indirectly was the source of the woman's anger, nor that he was being held by the male not just for comfort. This way Lysander had an ace, and Alexey would have to hear him out. The only thing that spun through the boy's head was the overwhelming relief of being out in a larger room, pressing himself to his male friend's chest. Nothing was better than the feeling of fur to his face - he was certain of that! Uncle Ly wasn't exactly mommy, but he'd do. It took only moments before his breathing had calmed, and his little heart did not pound quite as hard inside of him anymore.


Two small ears perked once he heard his title spoken aloud, giving the caretaker his full attention. His question was kind of weird, but now that he could see the angry female, he knew he had seen her before. His memory was a little poor at such a young age, but her scent and face clicked in his mind, and he knew that she was from the same place as mommy, and that she had visited him many times. The name, however, was gone to the boy. His tail was wagging slightly now, and his face became a mass of wrinkles as he concentrated, and spoke the obvious truth. Obvious to him, that is. Is from home! The boy was excited, now that he finally understood a few things. Then he glanced at her again, before he looked back to his "uncle" Ly. I's not remember her name. The last sentence was uttered with a sensation of pitless sorrow, for he'd failed - he didn't know her name. Then he buried his face in Lysander's chest again, hoping all the loud yelling would stop now.

Although she’d expected some kind of reaction from the male, she hadn’t expected him to actually get physical and knock her over. Alexey remained on the floor, watching the male’s every movement with utter shock. Then he finally obliged and did what she’d requested. A wave of relief washed over her as little Emwe came into view. He was okay. Honey-hued eyes scanned his body from head to toe. There were no signs of physical abuse. And from the way he snuggled up to the brawny husky, she could only assume that he wasn’t emotionally scarred either.

Lexey didn’t know what to think of it. He wasn’t supposed to like his kidnapper. Things had turned in the male’s favor. She couldn’t physically assault him because he was using the Lillium’s child as his shield. Snatching the child from him was not an option either. There was no time to seek help from Haku either, so she had to hear him out and reason with him. The husky referred to the puppy as “Oliver” once again, and Lexey couldn’t help but flinch as the young one replied. Had Emwe forgotten his own name? He certainly had forgotten Alexey’s. It was a little saddening to hear it. And in all honesty, it hurt. A lot.

Tears were building up behind her eyelids. Her anger had been replaced by heartache. What could she say now? He had the child in his arms, and Emwe wasn’t helping her out. “Don’t you want to come home with me, Emwe?”

Lysander hugged the child close to him, loving both the feeling of the small boy clinging to him and the desperation in the face of the women. “Silly boy, this is home.” His tone was playful, he knew the arguing was distressing the boy. His stone eyes danced over the women, who was now nearly pleading with the puppy to take her side. It gave him a certain kind of satisfaction. Just because perhaps the puppies belong there in Dahlia de Mai rather than in Phoenix Valley, they all assumed the puppynapper was a cold hearted creature who would have treated the children poorly. He had treated like princes.




Lysander could drag it out, make it more miserable for the women, and that is what he intended. Turning his body so Emwe was even further out of reach, he sneered at her, but kept his voice calm and even for the sake of the boy. “Do ya even know his favorite food? His favorite game? Favorite bed time story?” Lysander had learned a lot about the children with the time spent with them. Perhaps much more than their parents had known. He hoped Emwe sincerely saw it fit to stay with him, keeping the boy against his will would break Ly’s heart.

The angry lady spoke to him, about going home. Home - mommy and daddy were home, and he was visiting uncle Ly for a while. He was going to say something, but before he got the chance the husky replied for him, and at his words came a frown upon the little face. Well, this was maybe home, but where mommy and daddy were was home too! That was in truth a very complicated and hard thing to think about, and instead he let his eyes look at both the grown-ups, with a face that openly stated that he agreed with them both. As the male continued talking, he did not fully realize that he was speaking to Alexey, confused as he was, and thought the male was asking him questions like she had. Proudly, he yelped his answers, but not very loudly. Just loudly enough to be heard. Emwe likes rabbits and guessing words and bears eating Conor stories! Then, looking at both faces his ears dropped a little, concerned about their anger and how they behaved towards each other.
