Town Hall

"Toboe told me before he...left us...that he was going out into the woods alot at night, meeting the white wolf Takyia. That is how I guessed." He shrugged, forgetting about the snow conversation.

"Hmm, but you don't know that Taykia was the mother do you?" Mika asked curiously

"No I don't. All anyone told me was that he was found motherless." His shoulders slumped slightly.
"I am just glad I have him." He smiled slightly, picking up the pup as he dropped his stiff meat.
~Hey I wasn't done with that!~
~Oh well. You can 'eat' it later.~ He chuckled, looking at his markings that were now coming in bigger than before.

Mika nodded "Who knows" she shrugged. He didn't need to know of the wolf's parents. It would be better if he didn't. "So he enjoying life?" Mika asked as she leaned back onto the couch a little, resting her back.

"Yeah he is. He seems to grow every time I turn my back." He laughed, sitting back down on the couch beside Mika.
"How is Whisper cooperating with you pregnant?" He asked, knowing the puma was a bit touchy.

Mika laughed "Oh her? She is doing fine.." Mika smiled and petted the cougar that came up beside her and purred. "I think she is looking forward to it actually." Whisper sat down and rolled her eyes ~Looking forward to a little devil that pulls my tail?!~ She asked in shook

Tsume jumped out of Malek's lap, landing on his face with his bum in the air.
~Nice landing.~ Malek chuckled.
~Eerr...~ The pup groaned as he stood up, falling down again with his legs splayed out. He saw Whisper's tail and jumped for it, biting it.
"Tsume!" He laughed slightly, but watched him.
"He is going to be trouble come spring." He shook his head, smiling.

Whisper watched the pup and obliged him by darting her tail back and forth. ~If only human children were so easily amused~ She chuckled. Mika laughed "that he is..and he'll have two babies actually to play with..human ones anyway, and who knows how many animals" Mika smirked thinking of Beauty and Koda.

"Two?" He cocked an eyebrow at her as Tsume jumped for Whisper's tail, only landing on his chest, his front legs going backwards.
~Oof.~ He stood up and tumbled sideways.

"Yes, Kai is also expecting" Mika smiled

"I didn't know that!" He said, surprised.
"I thought you were only expecting." He chuckled slightly. Then he thought about if Arya again...her face....her hair...he found his hand fidgeting with the charm around his neck as he thought about her.

Mika smiled and nodded. She looked around. "I expect we will be memorizing the number of cracks in the stone in the walls by springtime" Mika laughed

He jerked back to reality and looked around and chuckled.
"Yeah probably. Let's see...one there...number two there....three..." He teased, poitning to each crack in the wall he saw.

Mika laughed "four there..5 and 6 there" she laughed.

"See? We are already memorising them!" He laughed, watching as Tsume finally gave up on Whisper's tail and sat down beside her, wimpering.
~That's not fair! I almost had your tail!~ He complained to the cougar.

Mika nodded laughing. She looked down at Whisper. ~That's the point sweetheart~ The cougar laughed ~Did you think I would let you catch my tail and turn it into pulp?~ She chuckled and gave him and affectionate lick.

~Pleh!~ He said as Whisper licked him.
~Gross!~ He wiped his face on Malek's trouser leg and looked at Whisper with a mad face.
~Don't do that again. Your tounge hurts. It's got pricklies all over it.~ He complained.
"Tsume, what are you doing?" Malek lauged as Tsume wiped his face on Malek.
"Wonder what the spring will be like..." He thought for a minute.

Whisper chuckled, she pulled the pup over with a gently paw, pinning him down she gave him a bath with her tongue. ~You've just forgotten what a good bath feels like~ She laughed and washed him all over.

~Hey! Stop...that! You're....not...my...mom....~ He said in between licks, squirrming under the cougar.
~Pleh!~ He said when Whisper licked his face.
~You're breathe smells funny.~ He laughed like a human child but then screwed up his face again as he was being washed.
~Icky!~

Whisper chuckled ~No I am not, but I am the closest thing right now. And that is because I am a cat I smell "funny" you don't smell so hot yourself~ she laughed. She held him down and started washing his paws. ~Learn to do this yourself and I won't have to~ she smirked

~Mmmrrmmm...~ He groaned through a closed mouth, squeezing his eyes shut.
~I smell better than you!~ He said as she licked his paws.
~Ow! Owwy! That hurts!~ He looked up at Malek with sad eyes.
~Make her stop!~ He cried to him, trying to pull his paws away.
"Oh, Tsume you're fine." He chuckled.

Tyler Walked in Slowly, Tears falling off the brims of her Stunning eyes.
"Mika." She whimpered, Walking towards her and Malek.

"I'm leaving."

Whisper just ignored the pup's protests and kept cleaning. Mika looked up when she heard Tyler's voice. She quickly stood up and put a hand on her shoulders. "Tyler? Why?" she asked gently

"I'm going with Stark. I know you dont trust him. But he's saved me before." There was sadness in her eyes as she tried to smile.

Malek looked up with Mika and stood with her.
"Tyler you don't have to...." He began, not sure if this was a good choice.

Tsume looked up at Malek and the strange girl.
~Who's that?~
