Summer Den

Echo gave a saddened face about what had happened.

Belle saw his face. "What happened over there is none of you concern." Belle said smoothly. "And this is my mate. His name is Echo, and he would also like to get to know you two. What do y'all think of that?"

Echo gave Belle a look of thanks and then turned his attention back to the pups to see their reaction.

Zephyr thought about it for a minute, then his tail started to wag, as is common in most dogs, even half dogs. "That'd be great!"
Kashtin looked a Echo. "Depends... He any good at wrestling?"

Belle laughed a bit. "He was when we were pups. I don't know if he is anymore or not. Oh I know! You two versus Echo! Then we will know." Belle looked at Echo standing back a bit.

Echo looked a Belle quickly with his mouth hanging open. "What?!?"

"Get'em boys!!!" Belle yelled.

(Moment of internet!!! GOOOOOO GAS STATION! GOO INTERNET PHONE!!!!)

Kashtin grinned, and jumped at Echo, using his open mouth like a step and clambering onto his back.

Zephyr hung back, watching his brother's clever move. "Good job, Kashtin! Now you just have to pin him down... For ten seconds."

Belle laughed.

Echo instinctively rolled over and pinned the pup. "Is this good enough for you guys?"

Zephyr nodded. "Good enough for me."

Kashtin smiled. "Haven't pinned me for ten seconds." he started to wriggle around, trying to free himself.

Rowan padded into the den. He looked about as he was going to move the moss from the den. "Do you need help Khora?" he stopped.

Rowan nodded. "You wouldn't mind if i took out the last remaining scraps of moss real quick would you?" Hus blue eyes shone bright as he awaited her reply.

Rowan took off and collected a large ball. He rolled it out of the den and into the bushes nearby. He saw Jay making her rounds as they got ready to leave. He padded back into the den. He sat by Khora until he was told he could touch the pup.

Rowan nodded and told khora quickly, "I will follow you out and to the fall den." He then grabbed the pup lightly, yet firmly by the scruff. He winced as the pup made a pittiful sound. He felt the bundle of fur tense up and try to curl into a ball.

Jay made her way to the den. "Everyone ready?" she asked.

"Almost, I just need two more people to carry pups." Khora responded. Erebus flicked his tail. "I'll take one Khora. If you'd like." She blinked, and then nodded. The black wolf leaned his head down a picked up one. "Jay will you carry this one?" Khora asked.

Bo-Bo decided against offering up help to Khora. He still had issues with Raffiel.

"Ready!" Asku and his children chirruped.

Zephyr charged forward to help his brother, pushing at Echo's legs, trying to topple him. His help allowed Kashtin to free himself a bit more.
"It's been 7 seconds!" Zephyr barked warningly to his brother.

Echo had heard Jay. When he turned his head to look at her and reply, Zephyr hit him in the side. Echo tipped a bit, loosing his grip on Kashtin. Then, leaning over too much, lost his grip completely and fell over.

Belle broke out in laughter. She couldn't help it. "Ok boys, we have to postpone our fun until we get to the fall den, ok?"

Kashtin got to his feet. "Errrr... Actually... We all know I was going to beat him there! I just lost track of time. Maybe in the future we can wrestle again."
"Stupid." Zephyr muttered. "Anywayyy! Which way?" He piped up.

Holo went to Rowan's side. "Who's that fluffball?" she asked.

Jay picked up a brown and white pup. She flicked her tail letting everyone know it was time to go.

"Come on. This way." Belle started to follow Jay.

Echo went to Belle's side and began walking with her.

Khora picked up the last pup, and glacinng at Raffiel and Erebus started padding towards the fall den. Raffiel glared at Erebus, but remained silent so he didn't disturb the little ball of fur he held closely. Erebus thought about how easy it would be to kill the pup he held, right then and there... No... Its not worth the trouble that would bring. Erebus changed his mind, realizing that he would instantly be the one to blame.

As Belle, Echo, and the two boys walked up about even with Khora Echo looked over at her. He then turned back to Belle. "I need to go talk to Khora. I will be right back."

Belle's eyes widened. "What?!?!?" She asked in a hushed tone. "Are you freaking crazy, wish death, or are just plain stupid?"

"Belle I need to apologize to her. You know me, I can't just leave something like that without at least trying to mend it."

Belle sighed. "I know. Just don't get yourself killed, ok?"

Echo smiled. "Ok." He then padded over next to Khora. He bowed slightly, showing respect. "Khora, I am terribly sorry for my action previously. I did not know I was doing wrong. I was just trying to be a good pack mate. Would you please forgive me?"

Echo looked up completely surprised. Not at the fact that she forgave him, but at what else she had just said. "How- how could possibly know that information?!?" He asked clearly embarrassed.
