[atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/3h8qw.gif] Evelyn slowly trekked back into Kytalae Hollow, where she knew the rest of the pack and the dens lay in waiting. She glanced back to see if Kainashi was still following her, positive that he was, but was still worried about how he would do when meeting all of the others. His reaction when she first met him was something to be concerned over, especially since he said he had never done very well in a pack. She hoped the others wouldn't overwhelm him, but there was more of a chance that he was to be the one to get overwhelmed. She walked into the pack camp without fear, revealing herself to everyone. She looked back again at Kainashi, "You can wait right there if you want. I can go find Magispar and have her help me gather everyone." As she finished saying it, she went off to find the female guide, the lupus she had come to respect. Usually, it was strange for a Lumen to like a Lupus, but Evelyn was weird like that. Normally, it was in Lumen blood to despise Lupus, but this pack was full of them, and Evelyn had never minded them in the first place. Stopping somewhere in the center of camp, she gazed around and mused to herself, wondering where the wolf she was looking for could be. She didn't see her for a moment, and still didn't even after looking. Irritated somewhat, she decided to make it easy on herself and called out for her, "Magispar? Where are you? I need to speak with you please!" As she called out, she continued to look around for her, trying to see if she could find her at all.

[atrb=background,http://i51.tinypic.com/xfqlmu.gif] Kainashi was in step with Evelyn with her graceful movements. He was walking behind her. When she glanced back at him, he attempted to bend the light waves around himself to make himself invisible just for the fun of it. He smiled faintly, and released his hold on the waves, figuring it was too late to attempt to hide from her. He glanced cautiously around as they entered the camp. There were many wolves, and most had their wandering eyes on him. He took in a few deep breaths. He wondered what they thought of him. He was glad Evelyn was near him though, she seemed to block them off. He noticed most of the pack members were Lupus. He honestly didn't care, and he believed in that Equality policy. It meant he wouldn't be less than anyone. He was glad that the Great Spirit hasn't refused him. He wasn't showing his feelings to anyone other than Ev, so that still made him strong, right? He sighed and sat down as Evelyn walked away from him to find Magispar, who she told him earlier was the Female Guide. Kainashiii, Kainashi, Kainashi, Kainashiiii, the voices purred. You can't ignore us forever. We're your friendssssss. Kain snorted and lowered his body to the ground, putting his head on his paws lazily as he waited for Evelyn's return. He didn't feel as shy as he did when he entered, only because he kept reminding himself of the Equality policy, as he called it. Though it would help if Evelyn was here beside him again.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/56Mq.jpeg] Magispar trotted up to the two, Evelyn the Lumen and a wolf she didn't know, as they entered the hollow. "You two smell of each other," she commented. "Do I even have to ask? You're friends and you want Kainashi accepted, right?" Magi grinned. "Now, why would you even feel the need to ask?" The dark wolf gave the wolf she didn't recognise a good look over. From the way he'd become invisible just before he entered camp and then appeared again, he was a Lumen. And he and Evelyn knew each other. As little as Magi knew Evelyn, she respected her and trusted her judgement. There probably wouldn't be anything too evil about this wolf. She sat down, tail curled around her paws. "I'm Magispar, the Guide," she introduced herself to the lumen she didn't know. "Your name, if I may?"

[bg=ffff00] Faye opened her bright yellow eyes, stretching her tall and slender white body gracefully from where she had been taking a light nap. She noticed Magispar and Evelyn, as well as another unknown wolf, who must be new to the pack. Curious, she stood up, her posture friendly and welcoming: New members were always a joy, and she loved how the Alliance had been growing since she first joined, which actually wasn't that long ago. She wanted to make sure to get to know everyone in her new pack, since she was a Sage, and might need to offer them advice, heal them, teach them, or even deal with small conflicts. However, the Sage sincerely doubted this last issue would ever arise. She was fairly sure this newcomer was a Lumen, and immediately held a fair amount of respect for him, since it took courage for a Lumen to integrate themselves with a bunch of Lupus's around. Faye smiled warmly and trotted over, her graceful long legs carrying her the short distance. She followed Magispar's example and sat down, trying to keep her pose warm and friendly, since she was still a little new at being around so many wolves at once. She was actually surprised that she was beginning to like socializing and always having someone there for you, something the seven year-old wolf had never quite known, at least for a long time. She not only came closer to introduce herself and get a better look at the newcomer, but to offer support to Magispar in case she needed it, but Faye doubted she did. Faye held her head high, but not intimitading, and with a certain noble air to her, although she thought herself no better than anyone else, it was simply her nature. " Greetings, newcomer." her serene voice greeted him, and she hoped he did not feel frightened as others sometimes had by her air of assertiveness and simple quiet calm that she sometimes instilled. She smiled, and included Magispar and Evelyn also, staying a polite distance away so as not to scare the newcomer away and to show a certain respect to her pack leader, as she thought of Magispar as.

[Evelyn <3]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true]

[atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/3h8qw.gif] Evelyn chuckled as she walked with Magispar back over to where her friend was waiting. "Oh no, no. That's not the case at all, Magi. I just wanted him to meet a few members to make him feel at home. Also, he wants to be a Sage for the pack, so I figured Faye should meet him as well. He doesn't know much about herbs, but I know Faye can teach him." She wanted to make that much clear. All Kainashi wanted to do was meet his pack and Evelyn wanted him to feel at home, as he said he hadn't done good in a pack often. Once they made it back to him, she saw him lying down and trotted over to him when Magispar stopped. She put herself beside him and nudged his cheek lightly. Evelyn offered him a comforting smile and lifted her head again to face the Guide. She remained standing, hoping to offer Kainashi some type of comfort that he could handle. She wanted him to feel at home, and she'd do anything to make sure he did feel that way. She wasn't sure why she cared so much about him and his feelings, but it just seemed to be an instinct she had gained. Evelyn's crimson eyes caught sight of Faye as she approached, warily though, and it caused the Lumen to wonder what the Sage was doing. Perhaps she was just being cautious because there was a stranger in the pack's camp. She leaned her nose to Kainashi's ear, "That's Faye, our Sage." She lifted her head again and nodded in greeting to the lupus, "Hello, Faye. My friend here wants to be a Sage. Any chance you could teach him about herbs?" She smiled at them, trying to be friendly. The equality policy had worked out for her so far, and she hoped it would work out for Kainashi.

[Kainashi]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,400,true]

[atrb=background,http://i51.tinypic.com/xfqlmu.gif] Kainashi looked at his paws, feeling a little self-concious as a Lupus padded up to him. He grinned as she mentioned him smelling of Evelyn. It helped, to think of her. She announced her title, just as Kain had expected her to be. He cleared his throat, which felt dry because he was a little afraid. He didn't want to be judged, but this was the only way to ever ensure his safety in numbers. "I'm-" he looked at Evelyn. He didn't want to say 'I'm Worthless, nice to meet you.' "I'm Shonen," he managed. He attempted a weak smile. Soon another Lupus was walking over to them, she sat down cheerfully, it seemed. She made a nice Lupus, she was pure white with a few markings on her legs and back. Kainashi would have confused her for a Lumen, if not for her eyes. Evelyn came closer to him, and he could hardly breath with her being so close. It was natural, but so unreal to him. She told him that that she-wolf, Faye, apparently, was their senior sage, just as Ev had mentioned something about that yesterday. Kain dipped his head at the pair in front of him, as a form of respect and remembrance. Kain looked at the wolf with the yellow eyes. "I'm Shonen." His tail wagged lazily behind him, he was learning. Slowly coming out of his cocoon like a butterfly, he felt new and fresh. A new start, a new beginning. Maybe they wouldn't notice his hallucinations, as long as Ev didn't mention it. Kainashi's eyes shifted to Evelyn, who seemed so comfortable around other wolves. He envied her slightly for that, wondering if he'd ever be as socially strong as she was. She pleaded Faye for her help in helping him become a Sage that he hoped to be. He nodded slowly. "I've always wanted to help others," he mumbled. Which he has, ever since his former alpha exiled him. He couldn't bear to witness anything happening to anyone else. "I figure with enough practice, I could excel at being a S-Sage." His eyes pleaded with the she-wolf. "Would you be so kind as to help me out, Faye?" He swallowed and looked at the female guide. "If you're accepting of that, of course?" He leaned against Evelyn for comfort. He was glad she was here with him now.

[bg=ffff00] Faye's heart softened at Shonen's words: A newcomer, a stranger with a history, someone she didn't even really know. She looked around at the dens, as she thought of all the good this pack was doing: Equality truly did exist here. He might be a little timid, in her opinion, but she didn't mind at all. " If you want to help others, then you've come to the right place. I would be honored to help you out, and I think a smart fellow like you will learn quickly." she said to him, winking with a smile. She noticed the bond between Evelyn and him, and was glad he had a friend, and Evelyn too. Faye included Magispar and Evelyn in her smile too, since she was glad to count them as friends. Faye admitted to herself that for a moment she had fallen back to her old ways of thinking, that if she didn't know someone, it was best to stay away. However, she knew this was unwise and not true, since how would she have met so many wonderful wolves? Any fears she had vanished, and she doubted they would return for a long time. Faye was eager to help her pack, and this was an excellent opportunity to not only help her pack by training a new Sage, but also Shonen to do something he liked: Helping other wolves. Faye thought of herself as a pretty good judge of character, and there was something about this wolf that she liked. " There's a certain spark to you, Shonen. I think you would make an excellent Sage, and member of this pack." she wasn't really one for giving compliments, but when Faye did, she was always truthful, and meant what she said.

[atrb=background,http://i.imm.io/56Mq.jpeg] Magispar blushed beneath her dark fur, then smiled hurriedly to cover her bluff. Magi was a social wolf, never one to hide away and turn quiet because of a mistake made; and so she kept going, smiling and hailing Faye as the wolf approached; "Hi Faye!" She didn't try and call the wolf closer, not guessing what made her sit at such a distance. If she was simply shy, so be it; Magi might be outspoken, but she didn't have a problem with shy wolves, and was always determined to treat all wolves as equal. She was glad to see Faye and Kainashi getting on- he would clearly fit into the pack without too many problems- and suddenly she had a thought. She trotted up to Evelyn. "Does this mean you've decided to stay, and believe in equality?" she asked the lumen, eyes shining. "You accepting him, and being together in the pack." The dark wolf grinned. "I'd like to be friends. If you wouldn't mind being friends with me back." Magispar nodded her head, and looked around with a peaceful, contented sigh. Everything seemed right.

(OOC: Sorry short post, was gonna have her do more but I g2g)

[Evelyn <3]

[atrb=border,0,true][atrb=cellSpacing,0,true][atrb=cellPadding,0,true][atrb=width,500,true]

[atrb=background,http://i53.tinypic.com/3h8qw.gif] Evelyn felt Kainashi lean against her, pressing their fur together. She felt the blush on her skin as well, cursing the annoying feeling that bubbled up in her stomach every time he did this. She wondered vicariously what it was that caused her to feel such things, and she believed she knew, but wasn't sure and didn't want to ask until later. Perhaps Magispar or Faye would know something about it. She would ask them when she could steal a moment from them. She watched Kainashi interact with the Sage, seeing the immediate friendly connection between them. A smile graced her lips and she had a great feeling her friend would get along well with everyone here. She was glad, glad he would be able to fit in so well. Her smile, however, faded when Magispar approached her and asked her if she decided to stay, decided she believed in equality. She thought for a moment, thinking herself that it was a believable thing. Although, being the prankster she was, she decided to pull a joke to lighten the mood some more, though they might not like it. "No, I hate this pack and I'm leaving. I'm only here to drop him off." Of course, the sarcasm was clear in her voice and the smirk on her face was evident. It was clear she was only kidding, but just to make sure they didn't take her seriously, she let out a laugh and spoke again, "I'm kidding. Of course I'm staying." She chuckled at the joke she had made, even though she felt herself that it was a little mean. Her facial expression faded back to serious. "It's true, Magi, that I told you not long ago that I didn't believe in equality, and that I gave you a set amount of time to prove to me it existed. If you couldn't, then I would leave the pack and return to being a loner." She glanced at Kainashi with her crimson eyes, then to Faye, then swept her gaze out at all the other wolves, her pack. She looked back to the Guide. "However, I've been here long enough to see that such a thing does exist, and you've done your part in proving it to me." Then came the part about being friends, which made Evelyn laugh cheerily. When she settled, she voiced herself, "Magispar, I would love to be your friend. So far the only real friend I've had in this pack is Stone, but mostly because I respect her so much. If anyone is to be thanked for my presence and change in mind, it would be her. I'm glad to be part of this pack, and I will fight to the ends of the world to protect it. I can promise you that much." She offered the Guide a friendly smile, showing her that, for once or twice in her life, she was truly serious about what she had said.

[atrb=background,http://i1218.photobucket.com/albums/dd415/Somatra1/kback-1.jpg] [scrolly:h(200),w(405),sy] Trotting along in the now familiar meadow Stone thought back to the day she had joined and the wolves she had met since then. The experience had been one that varied highly from her normal activities and comfort level, but none the less she had stepped up the the challenge in her own right. She had started to take to reclusing her self again, preferring the quiet company of the still earth then that of other wolves, but it was now time to break out again and face the music. Solitary confinement was all well and peaceful but it limited one's abilities. Up ahead the smell of various wolves greeted her nose, and Stone was all too pleased to realized she knew and liked most of the wolves. There was however a wolf she did not recognize and she trotted calmly over, blue Sapphire eyes lighting up with interest. Was this to be a member she had not met or a trespassers being addressed. Upon arriving she immediately recognized Magispar, Evelyn and Faye but her attention was on the new male. He appeared to be a Lumen as he did resemble Evelyn; was he her friend? She spoke up, her voice a strange sound to her ears as she had not had to sue it of late, "Hello all, how have you been? I regret my lack of presence of late, but sometimes some quiet is necessary." She smiled softly and addressed the other wolf, "Good day, my name is Keinvarii, but you may as well call me Stone as it is a tad easier to remember." She gave a nod and then turned a questioning gaze to Evelyn waiting to hear what had just transpired. [/scrolly]

[Kainashi]

[atrb=background,http://i51.tinypic.com/xfqlmu.gif] Kainashi hung on Faye's every word. He had already begun finding that she was a wise wolf, one to be respected highly by him. His tail wagged still, lightly upon the ground. He dipped his head at the female in respect. "I will try not to let you down, Faye." He was beginning to truly hold Faye dear as his Mentor, allowing her to know him and teach him things he never knew. This trust would come in handy, and he was ready to hold nothing back from his teacher. He turned his gaze to Evelyn beside him. He offered her a shy smile before once again listening to Faye. Magispar and Evelyn started talking, and Kainashi could feel the friendly truce between the pair. He wondered why they had come to such a decision; what had happened? His mind tried to focus on Faye, but he couldn't help but overhear the conversation happening beside him. He did hear Faye though; he blushed at her words slightly, and tried to cover it back. He projected the usual white and blue combination onto his pelt over the light pink that appeared. "You really think so? I hope you're right." He smiled. It wasn't long until Kainashi saw another Lupus approaching. His pale pink gaze drifted over the female, an Earthy green with blue eyes. He wondered who she was, and why she seemed to hold so much confidence. He blinked as she spoke, she seemed enthused, about something unknown to him. Stone, Stone. He remembered Evelyn mentioning something about Stone. He frowned. When Evelyn spoke of Stone, she had made the wolf seem as if they were a God, one that needed recognition. He chewed his lip before deciding to drop any tension and judge her for herself, and not on Evelyn. His eyes brightened, and he began to feel more confident about himself in this new pack. His tone was clearer, and easier to follow. "I'm Kainashi, truly, as Evelyn knows. But prefer if anyone called me Shonen." He smirked and looked at Evelyn. Only she knew the story behind his nickname, and Faye may end up eventually knowing. Those two would be the only to know of his past; the rest would stay hidden. He looked at his mentor, and rose to his paws. He dipped his head at Stone respectfully and offered a smile.

OOC: Kainashi, if you're open to Faye teaching you some things or whatever, feel free to start a separate post and I'll reply.

[bg=ffff00] Faye the white Lupuse was satisfied with what they had all accomplished, and decided that maybe now was a good time to leave: After all, she had already met Kainashi, so she could let other members have some time with him. He seemed hard-working and intelligent, something she valued in wolves. She stood up, readying herself to leave as her yellow eyes swept the small gathering. "Good day everyone. Kainashi, it was a pleasure to meet you and I look forward to working with you." she nodded and left the, her long white legs carrying her out of the den area, where she planned to look for something to eat...
