Noquisi giggled to herself, watching the pups roll around. "That doesn't even rhyme..." She murmured, finding it funny anyway. It was about time that the pack had something fun happen to them. "We should hold a story telling tonight..." She mused to herself, thinking aloud. Nodding, Noquisi turned to the others in the clearing. "We should. It would loosen up tensions and it'd be fun. What do you all think?" She asked, blinking at her packmates.
Usdi sat up, ears perked. It sounded fun. But, what would the others think?

Heraclea paused in her struggle for domination, ears perked at the word "story". Untangling herself from Ajax she scampered over to Yanah and begged, "please, please can we have a story night?"

Ajax yelped as he was kicked, releasing her tail. Rearing up, he batted at her face as she charged. They tumbled to the side, but she managed to land on top of him somehow. He was about to bite her paw when the word "story" reached his ears. He was at Noquisi's side in seconds, his tail wagging furiously. "Yes please!" He barked, kneading the ground with his front paws.
Yanah nodded, liking the idea. "That sounds great. It certainly would perk everyone up," she said, shooting Noquisi a grateful look.

Noquisi nodded, thinking. "Well, if anyone wants to tell a story at the telling, they can. It doesn't just have to be me. In fact, it's more fun if lots of people tell stories." She said, smiling. "Don't you think?" She asked Yanah.

He gazed forward, capturing the soft light of the setting sun. It was rather nice out, actually, compared to the previous days. Emiko's words shocked him back to Earth. Lycaon? He pondered on who this 'Lycaon' was for a few moments, but gave back into reality to respond to the words that spilled from her mouth. Something about sharing water with Lycaon and the drought not letting up. Of course, the part about the drought was very true. It's unrelenting grip had all but driven him insane. He nodded slowly, turning his head towards her. He exhaled deeply and was about to say something, until Emiko continued speaking. His eyes brightened at her remark, and brought himself to reply.
"Oh, same here, same here. We have lots in common, right?" This whole romance thing was rather tedious. Always replying in the way best suitable, courting her... The list goes on, but it would actually be worth it. He decided to end this all right now, though. "Do you feel the way I do, about this?" he ask her tenderly. Maybe that would do the trick and end all this nonsense in the way of what they were both waiting for. Now that he looked back on it, it actually seemed like a rash and silly thing to do, but oh, well. It happened and there was no taking it back. It was how he felt, anyway, so why try and stall?
Lya's ears perked the Ajax's serenade of silliness and he and his sister tussling about on the ground. She finally remembered something - Usdi. He was officially a yearling and therefore could become a novus. Paying no heed to the others attempts to let loose and have fun, she approached the boulder where she announced all things related to the pack. She stepped on the massive thing, positioning herself on top then motioned with a nod and a tail flick for her fellow Satraps to join her.

"Oh. I understand." Ahava smiled sheepishly after seeing Lya's reaction. "I... I should've known that. Yeah... if you want to talk about it later, you know I'm always here for anyone." With that, the Satrap tusned around to hide whatever feeling that was showing on her face, and was about to walk away when Ajax started singing. Amused by the pup's exuberance, she started to giggle. And then she heard talk of a story-telling-- she would look foward to that. But just when she was deciding whether or not she should join the others she was beckoned by Lya to meet her on the boulder. What could this be-- so soon after the mood she was in?

Noquisi was about to continue before Lya stepped up onto the large rock used for ceremonies and announcements. Closing her mouth, the young healer perked her dark ears up and swiveled her head to face the rock. Maybe whatever Lya was about to say would cheer the pack up?
Emiko turned to Kaeso, filling her eyes with what she hoped looked like love of the utmost degree. "I have never felt this way about a wolf before, and I know I never will again. I love you, Kaeso, and even though we've only known each other for a few moments, I know I want to be with you until the stars reach their end, and until the moon ceases to exist." She finished, spouting whatever came to her mind first.

(Romantic Emiko Anyways, timeskip to the others to prevent graphicness? Short post is short, but it doesn't eyerape either so...) Kaeso was very pleased with himself on the inside, however on the outside he was pretty much a romantic, sappy blob. Emiko's response didn't startle him as to what she said, but how she said it. This girl really was passionate about the whole deal, wasn't she? Actually, if he were in his right mind, he probably would have guessed that it was staged. However, he was a hormonal wolf in love so, of course, the spark burned on inside him. Apparently she wanted to carry out with the deed, but he asked before doing anything. "Are you sure about this?" Lya stared out onto her watchers, and eyed Usdi especially. "Usdi, come here," she ordered. It sounded more like a reprimanding scold than an order, though. Maybe she's just pretend she was angry at first just to tease with him.

Yanah rose slowly and ambled over to the rock, standing a few steps behind Lya. She sounded angry; strange since she knew what this was about. There was humor radiating off of her, perhaps she was joking. Expressionless, she stared down her nose at Usdi and raised an eyebrow. She hadn't forgotten his earlier outburst, though perhaps he had. Gently she bumped Ahava's shoulder and waggled her eyebrows, gesturing with her eyes at Usdi.
Ajax scampered to sit in front of the rock, having never been to a ceremony before. Was Usdi in trouble? Lya looked angry, prompting him to scoot back a few feet. Maybe he was in trouble for trying to cross the border earlier, he thought. Served him right though, for trying to break pack law.

Heraclea sat beside her brother, sitting up straight for the meeting. She had never been to one before and wanted to make a good impression. She then noticed Lya staring daggers at Usdi and her posture sank considerably. The Satraps had figured out where the pups had gone, Heraclea knew they must have. Why else would Lya look so angry? There was a pause in the meeting, giving Heraclea enough time to explore some plausible explinations for their little adventure. If worse came to worse, she'd just blame the whole thing on Ajax and Usdi, plead that she had merely been trying to stop them and then keep them from getting hurt, but it seemed she wouldn't have to use her clever lie after all because then the meeting continued.

ooc; Sure, haha. I will just post mine, then you can timeskip.
Emiko leaned forward, nose almost touching Kaeso's. "Kaeso, I have never wanted anything more in my life." She whispered, eyes glowing. 'That's not true...' The cunning female thought to herself, 'I want power in this pack the most. But, to get that power, I need Kaeso to believe I love him with all his heart.' Going the step further, Emiko licked Kaeso's cheek before leaning back with a serene expression on her face.
Noquisi raised her eyebrows at Lya's angry appearance, wondering what Usdi could have done to upset the Satrap. 'It must have been pretty bad.' The healer thought to herself, licking her paw.
Usdi's ears twitched. 'What did she find out about? The dens? The border?' He thought to himself, a cold claw raking over his spine. 'Am I being kicked out of the pack? What will Uleyov say? What will I tell him?!' He frantically thought, frowning. Usdi padded forward, hesitating before sitting down. 'Will she yell at me? Or will I be physically punished?' He thought to himself, swallowing nervously. He ruined his one chance at an actual family.

((Aight. Also, freestyle on the speech.))
After her fellow leaders and Usdi had join her upon the rock, her equally as stony expression softened to a slight grin. "Hey, get up here," she said jokingly. Of course, she did want him up there, though. He had gotten big. She raised her eyebrows at him in the slightest. It was a harmless gesture, but it could mean so many things. In this situation, it meant something along the lines of "I'm proud,"
With a quick look to Yanah and Ahava, she began the ceremonial speech. Afterwards, the pack would go hunting, Usdi included to seal his status of Novus. "Today, we look upon this yearling," she trailed off, waiting for Yanah to continue the speech, so they could do this in unison.

"Who has outgrown his young days and earned the chance to learn our ways," Yanah continued, smoothly picking up where Lya had left off. She hoped he hadn't been scared too badly- it was just a little joke. Or Lya was becoming bipolar. Shaking away the thought, she smiled at the young wolf.
Ajax's ears perked up as Lya's mood changed and she began a speech. He moved a bit closer, wanting to soak in every detail and wanting to be in front of his sister.

Heraclea relaxed as Lya's tone took a turn for the better. She hoped no one had noticed her sudden tension and called her out on it. That would be as good as a confession. She attempted to assume and expression of nonchalance and watch the rest of the ceremony, praying that everyone was so consumed with watching Usdi no one had noticed her moment of fear.

Usdi would have dipped to the ground in relief, but he couldn't, or the others would know he did something. Perking up, the young wolf smiled, realizing that today was the day of his ceremony. 'I am becoming a Novus!' He thought to himself excitedly, happily wagging his tail.
