Obi raced through the dry tall grass. The air was warm, making a nice breeze on his face as he chased the bug ahead of him. The bug was so close. Obi pressed harder on the dry cracked ground and sped up. 'Almost there!' Obi thought. He reached out a big paw. Then suddenly he tripped over his paws and fell. He tumbled head over paw and landed on his back. Groaning he looked up just to see the bug to a loop over his head then fly away. Sighing he got up and shook his head. Dust fell to the ground. Throat was almost as dry as the ground beneath him. He went to find a source of water.

Keely was sneaking through the yellow grass, her peachy nose was pressed to the dry ground, she was following the scent trail of a field mouse. She crept as quietly as she could, though she did trip seemingly over nothing on occasion. Her twin tails twitched with anticipation.
Bright purple eyes caught faint movement ahead. Her little rump wiggled as she prepared to pounce. With a chorus of triumphant giggles she landed squarely on the terrified and alarmed rodent. It let out a pitiful squeak as it was pinned below the petite paws of the little yellow lyxxus. She pulled back, leaving only a paw, claws extended, pinning the narrow tail.
"Mwhaha! I got you little mousy!" She poked and prodded the little thing, playing with it, taking in every feature and muttering about what bits she would try first. The mouse tried urgently to wrench itself free from its bubbly captor, but to no avail.
She flipped over the mouse onto its back admiring the bright white underside of the tiny fur ball. She was about to give the morsel a quick bite to end it all when a familiar scent hit her nose. She strained to make herself taller, to see over the grass. She could not see anything. She pouted at the mouse, it was keeping her from raising on her hind legs.
With a bit of thought, she decided to shift what paw was pinning the rodent. She splayed out her left legs to keep her balanced while she brought her right hind leg up to her foreleg. She extended her claws on her hind paw to pin the tail of the mouse to the ground, so she could free her fore paw.
She laughed with glee as she managed the swap without losing the prey. She then raised on her hind paws to get as much height that her small body would allow. Her brown tiffed ears swiveled and flickered, trying to hear where the scent was coming from.

Obi walked fast through the dried grass. The ground under his paws seemed less cracked. He heard a laugh of a wolf close by. He stopped frozen. Very slowly, he sat up and raised his head over the yellow grass. A breeze blew the grass to bend down. 'There!' He spotted another wolf, it's head looking straight at him. He raised his tail in alarm and crotched, slowly moving closer to this small wolf. The wind blew again bringing the wolfs smell. It was strangely familiar. He stopped again and lifted up his head. And met the eyes of this wolf.

She saw movement and turned to face it. Her eyes locked with the other wolf. At first she was confused and curios. Then her expression melted and became bright and cheer as recognition crossed her pretty face.
"OBI!!!!!!!" She squealed with sheer delight, completely forgetting about her snack. She dropped to all fours and bounded toward him, tails waving ecstatically. It was one of her brothers!! She had not seen any of them in months!!
She skidded to a halt in front of him, ears flat on her head, body lowered in an energetic greeting. She licked under his chin rapidly, the same way she had greeted their cousins only a few weeks before. "Obi! Obi! Obi! I missed you!"

Obi stopped, having no idea what to say. Could it be his sister who he missed so dearly? From far away it didn't look like her but she looked so much like his sister. He sniffed her as she licked his chin rapidly. It was her, she smelled the same! But now she had new smells on her. His tails went wagging everywhere. "Keely!" He nuzzled her. Licking and sniffing all over her to check if she was ok he bombarded her with questions. "How are you? What have you been doing? What's with these new smells on you?" Finally He rested his head in her soft fur between her shoulder and neck. "I missed you."

She joined him in the happy dance of licks and sniffs, having her memories of her strong brother amplified by his scent. She nuzzled into his chest, practically sitting on his forepaws. It was obvious that the energetic and rabid speech patterns were familiar in the family.
She answered his onslaught of questions with rapid, quick-fire answers of her own. "I'm great! I've made lots of friends! I found Chasie and Holmsie! We started a pack together! You need to meet Fyodor! You should join too! I missed you too!!!" She panted, all the excitement had her beside herself.
"What have you been doing?" She looked up at him, her purple eyes gleaming and sparking in the sunlight. Her tails seemed like they would never stop wagging.

Obi licked Keely's forehead. "I have been wandering around, not doing much. You found Chase and Holmes? That's great! I can't wait to see your pack!" He slowly got up, making sure not to drop her onto the ground. He play bowed, his muscles shifting in one big ripple. He stared into her violet eyes that glimmered in the sunlight. The grass swayed in a long breeze.

She giggled happily and jumped off of him before turning and mirroring his play bow. Her white tipped tails caught the sunlight with brilliance as did the white lily marking on her chest. She grinned from ear to ear. She had just been missing her family, it was like magic that one of her brothers would show up to play.
"Uh-huh! We claimed this plain and have lots of fun places to see. There is an orchard, Obi! There are so many flowers!" Her ears flattened and eyes widened as she recalled the awe she always felt when she went to the fruit trees.
"Fyodor asked me to be his mate there!" She blushed a little when thinking of her Fyodor. The thought of him made butterflies try to burst from her chest. "We are a small pack, but we have had visitors that might join us! You should come and see!"

Mate? Obi automatically felt protection over his sister. But when he saw the way she reacted when talking about him, Obi decided to wait to meet this wolf. Still feeling a little stiff after hearing mate he got up from his bow and wagged his tails. "You have a mate?" He looked around looking for the mate. "I would love to meet him." He said through somewhat gritted teeth. He dug his claws in and out of the dry cracked ground. He spotted a small field mouse sitting near by. He turned and smiled at Keely. He got ready to pounce. The mouse caught his scent and ran, Obi racing behind, tails held high.

She giggled a little at his question, the word was still novel to her. She got up from the play bow as well and flipped around to trot along side her larger brother. "Oh you will meet him! We could go try to find him now if you like! He shouldn't be far."
She looked around the terrain, as if expecting him to magically appear. She did not see him though and swung her head back around when she heard her brother give chase to another mouse.
She laughed loudly and sprinted after him, her little legs moving quickly to keep up with is longer strides. She bounded like a happy kitten chasing a butterfly. Nipping occasionally at one of his tails if she got close enough.

Obi heard keely behind him, nipping at his tails. He reached out with a big paw and grabbed the field mouse. The mouse sqweeked in protest. Obi reached down and gently bit the small neck of the mouse, quickly ending it's life. He bit the tail of the mouse, carrying it in his mouth he turned to face his sister. He put the mouse at her feet. "Eat up!" He jumped around her, his eyes dancing around catching all the scents and smells.

Keely almost ran into him as he suddenly stopped to catch the mouse. She skidded a little, all four paws coming together as her small body lurched forward. She teetered a little, but managed to keep her balance. She giggled at her accomplishment, she usually would have fallen on her face.
She stepped back a little as Obi turned, not wanting to get smacked in the face by his muzzle. She smiled happily as he dropped the mouse at her feet. "Thank you, Obi!" Her tails wagged as she reached down and munched on the morsel.
She sat down with purpose and began to clean her paws and face once the snack was completed. She seemed to be singing in her mind, her head moving back and forth to a happy beat. She looked back at her brother, "When do you want to find Fyodor? Or do you want to see the lands first?"

Obi stopped jumping at her question. "Let's meet your m-,um Fyodor, first." Obi was still unable to imangine her with a mate. Obi would tell if this guy was good enough for her. He walked around in a circle, suddenly tripping a bit with his giant paws getting tangled in moving in such a small space. Catching himself, he nipped at Keely's tails playfully. "Where is he?"

She tilted her head to her side, the two brown dots above her eye, as well as the dash across her nose seemed to gleam as they caught some of the spring sun rays. Her yellow fur was a bit ruffled by her brother's movements as well as the warm breeze that had crossed the plain. She twitched her tails out from her brothers teeth with a chorus of giggles at her new game.
She leaped to her feet and bounced in a circle as he walked around her, trying to keep her tails out of his mouth and keep her face toward him. It was fun, but after a while began to make her dizzy. She also got tangled in her own feet and flopped to her side with happy laughter.
Her ears flickered at Obi's voice, "Yay! I don't know where he is right now, but we can explore and look for him. I'm sure we will find his scent soon enough." Optimistic and bubbly as always, she hopped to her feet again. She looked toward the more central part of the pack lands. That would be a good place to start!
"This way Obi!" With that she pranced toward her idea of a good location. Whether or not it would prove fruitful was yet to be seen. All she knew was that she wanted to show Fyodor off to her brother. Maybe the pack would become larger as more family was brought in.

"This way." Keely said leading Obi on the search to find Fyodor. as she sniffed the ground Obi watched above the grass. He didn't see anyone there but it was good to keep a look out. He followed his sister sniffing the air, his scarred muzzle twitching. His sister was still as optimistic as always. It was great to see that the world that he had tried to protect her from didn't take that away. She was sniffing the ground, her tails held high. He turned and pounced on her laughing. "Always look around Keely." He said play pinning her on the ground. He started to get off.
