Town Hall

"um..well I think the girls side is done. I saw beds in there already...lucky, us guys have to make ours." He teased. "Wanna help me in the shop getting the wood ready?"

Rhea laughed, "Sure, I'd love to help," Rhea said, straightening her clothes and tying up her hair.

Toboe yawned and laid down on his side, panting, as if it were hot inside.
~Is it just me or is it hot in here?~ He looked up at Mika, his tounge lolling out of his mouth.
~'I think...I am....'~ He didn't even want to think the last part.
~'No, I'm not. It's just the herbs kicking in.....'~ He thought, hoping that it would convince him.

Ronan smiled "Your hair looks prettier down" he whispered in her ear. Before kissing her neck gently. "Ok" he chuckled "workshop...we have set something up in the warehouse." he smiled "right this way my lady" he playfully bowed before opening the door for her and then closing it and then skipping to the warehouse laughing softly.

Rhea cursied to Ronan, laughing as she did so and then walked by his side to the Warehouse.

Malek came up to the town hall to check on Toboe, when he saw Mika inside kneeling down beside the wolf. Malek almost ran inside and ran to Mika and Toboe.
"Is he alright?!" He asked, worrying, as if the wolf had just died.
~I...am fine boy...~ Toboe said slowly.

Mika looked up "He's ok for now" Mika said slowly. She watched as he knelt beside the wolf. "Malek...I can make him comfortable but..." she sighed

He looked at the wolf, then up at Mika.
"Can we talk about this somewhere else?" He asked kindly, almost whispering. He looked over in the area where the guys room would be as if saying, 'Over there.'

Mika nodded and walked over with him. She looked at him sympathetically but also questioningly.

He put his hand on his head and ruffled his hair while scratching the back of his head.
"How much longer does he have? That you can estimate?" He asked, his head down but he could still see her eyes.

Mika sighed and looked at the wolf and then back at Malek "I don't know...he is still eating and drinking...that could keep him alive for a while..but Malek" she put a hand on his shoulder. "Wolves will often go off to die...if he wants to leave let him...let him die free like he was born...not a caged animal" Mika said softly "The elders will send a new spirit animal to you...look what they sent Rial" Mika smiled kindly "It won't be the same...it never is...I know" Mika said softly

He nodded and put a hand on hers.
"I know. I trust the elders." He looked down and remembered his belief.
"I trust the spirits to take him to a free world for him...." He said slowly. He put his hand down so he wouldn't cause any weirdness.
He looked up at her.
"When he wishes to go, I will let him go. I wont keep him in here." He took a deep, shaky breath.
"Thanks Mika." He said quietly.
"He has been through so much with me...ever since he was a pup and I was only six..." He looked at the old grey wolf laying by the fireplace, sleeping.

Mika nodded "I have had Whisper since I was 10...she is ten already." Mika sighed "but hey maybe..the elders will bring an another pup?" Mika asked and looked back at Toboe. "He will be free...I know we will miss him..but hey...him and Jarlon can run in the fields" Mika chuckled but her eyes were glistening.

He had to chuckled at that.
"Yeah that would probably be a good thing. I know Jarlon never got to meet me, but hey Toboe can tell him how the villages are doing." He chuckled slightly and then sighed slowly.
"Another pup. Wow. That would be a fun one for sure." He chuckled again slightly and thought about that.

Mika smiled and nodded. "Hey have you ever seen those maned wolves? They are interesting wolves. They are red and black like a fox but big like a wolf. I have never seen them but I have heard stories"

He shook his head.
"Nope never seen 'em. I've heard some strange stories of them though." He shrugged.
"I like them Gray wolves myself. Or the Snow wolves." He half smiled.
"Toboe is a cross between them both."

Mika smiled and nodded. "Did Toboe...um did he ever disappear for a few days?" Mika raised her eyesbrows up and down hoping Malek would get her question.

"Here in this village? No he never snuck out for a couple days. But...he sneaked out alot at night...." He raised an eyebrow at her.
"Where are you getting at?" He asked with a laugh in his voice.

"Um I just wouldn't be surprised if there was 1/4 snow wolf 3/4 grey wolf pup running around" she laughed

He laughed with her and shook his head.
"Nah, he'd tell me if he was out doing that kind of stuff." He slowly stopped laughing and looked over at his old wolf, who was slowly dying.
"Is there a she-wolf around here?" He asked, thinking if maybe that was a possibility,

"Not that I know of..but there is wild wolves in woods" Mika shrugged

"I had heard of something like.....uh what was it...." He thought for a second and then looked up sharply.
"Oh yeah someone said something of Bardon releasing his sister's white wolf in the woods. Do you know if she is still around?" He asked, looking at Mika.
'He may have gone off with her.' He thought, half hoping he hadn't and half hoping he had.

"Yes he did" she said slowly.."but you should know...she isn't welcome in the villages..she has been seen as a threat...I don't know if she is around or not.."

He tapped his foot quietly for a second, and then rocked on his feet.
"A threat...how come she's a threat?" he asked curiously, hoping she was still around.

(after the ride)

..............cattle pasture.

I walked in scratching the back of my head. My stomach was turning and I wasn't feeling to well but I pasted on a smile and walked in and untied my jacket.
