He watched as the two disgusting, beaten-up wolves disappear in the distance. His iris was now contracting to tighten his focus towards the other wolves. He began speaking as he trotted over, "Is everyone alright?" He spoke sweetly as he noticed they where two females. His tail still erect and now slowly flicking with his pace.
Bruno knew that it was time to find somewhere to retriet. His body was tired; words where calm now and he sounded rather exhausted.

Saidin flung back his head and boldly howled their victory at the retreating wolves, his voice loud and strong. He turned to the others and grinned. "That ought to teach them! Maybe next time- Sweeper..." he said, fixing the albino's name in his memory, "...will think twice before trying to barge on in like that again." He was breathing a bit heavily, but from excitement, not exertion. The fight had been more like an intricate dance, with everyone involved whirling around, posturing, yet little actual physical contact. None for him, anyway- thus his rather exuberant attitude. Joining Kota, Bruno and Sweetsnow, the black wolf settled close to his friend, eying her wound anxiously once he'd spotted it. "Are you okay?" He asked her, echoing Bruno's question. He was dismayed to find her hurt while he was untouched, having tried to keep her away from the intruders once the albino had made it clear he'd already had a go at the femme.

Her muzzle snapped up as Saidin's howl broke any piece of guilt Kota held for the manner in which she had spoken to Snow. Only realising there and then that she had forgotten about the wolf she had fought along side and tried to protect, her head tilted. As he spoke, a small joy spread through her- Saidin had voiced her thought; the worrying sensation at the back of her mind about Sweeper returning soon fell away. As Saidin came closer, settling himself near her figure, she could only watch him as her tail swayed back and forth. They were all okay, and this wound was nothing compared to what had been dealt to her in the past. With his question of her shoulder, her chest expanded again, a sly toothy grin answer his question. "What- jealous?" She asked, her grin fading. It seemed that with her exhaustion, she could only pay her attention to one wolf at a time. Her concentration skipped as often as her thoughts did in this state, and it wasn't the first time she had been in this condition. Breathing in deeply to keep her mind focussed as much as possible, her hind rose once more, tail swaying but with less enthusiasim.

Sweetsnow smiled, awkwardly, at Bruno and Saidin, unsure of what to say. Thoughts played about in her head, until she managed to find something to say. Her soft voice came out, low in the late afternoon air. Has anyone claimed the lands yet? If not- someone does need to. And if Sweeper has already started to bother you, he'll bother you more, until you give him what he wants. She said sadly. When healthy, he's quite witty in battle. I faced him, a long while ago. She smiled, sourly, if wolves could smile in such a fashion. I guess you could call that Personification. She chuckled, shaking her head. I'll introduce myself. I've already done so to Kota, but I'm not sure anyone else heard. My dubbance is Sweetsnow. You may call me Snow, if it so pleases you. She dipped her head slightly, looking from Saidin, to Bruno.

"Sweetsnow," he repeated. "I'm just good 'ol Bruno." He repeated his name in his mind as well, realizing how silly it sounded. Her question, about alpha's, ate through him. "No one is reigning higher than any other at this point. To establish balance we should figure out a quiet plan to avoid any other interactions with this... this albino guy." His adhrenaline was subsiding now, and his heart finally slowing to a normal rate. "I honestly don't have any suggestions as to who shall reign as alpha or alphess. Rather than speak of names, I think the only ones able to hold such a position should show it." His eyes blinked thoughtfully as his eyes stuck to Snow. "Snow, you seem quite sharp. You do have prior knowledge of this Sweeper monster, correct?, and maybe you could help us defeat him."
His tail still swished back and forth, "I don't mind what happens as long as I have somewhere to lay my head at night. Maybe even a companion is in the future mix for me, I don't know." His random ramblings made him, to himself, seem rather skiddish and spongey in words. "Excuse my retarded ass, I'm just going to scoot off somewhere. Glad everyone is all right." He shook his head lightly and began to slowly pad away from the group.

Kwabangul had sat there, just outside the woods, listening to the end of the conversation. He had zoned out for a while, paying more attention to a few clouds that had been crossing the sky. He was easily distracted like that. Alphas and alphesses? He was rather unsure as to what was going on, having not heard the better part of the conversation between the three. Deciding he had had enough of just laying around on the grass, he stood up, feeling stiff and quite sore. He didn't like sitting still for long. He stretched, his rump in the air paws out in front of him, and he yawned, a really large yawn, releasing almost a moan from his mouth. Noticing the one wolf begin to pad away, he decided to follow his path. What was his name? Something like Bruno? Hrm... Never heard that name before... Then again, I suppose he must think that my name is pretty weird... Ignoring Saidin and Sweetsnow, he followed Bruno.
As he walked, he pondered parts of what he had heard. Sometime during his cloud-watching, he had heard some yelpin, some snariling, basically your average fight sounds, but he hadn't really paid much attention. Now, it came to the front of his mind, and he wondered about it.

Orbs scanned Bruno as he spoke, crania bobbing lightly. Nice to meet you. She said quietly, audits flicking forth as she listened to the Alpha situation, then the bit of her helping with Sweeper. The only advice I have for you right now is to establish the powers. Alpha, Beta, etc. I really don't care myself. She said quietly, flicking her tail. She was still laying on the ground, her bones resting. She'd trotted a long way, and the sudden movement- her moving around all jerkily, didn't help. Audits flicked lazily, as Bruno walked away, and she looked back towards Saidin and Kota. As soon as Saidin introduced himself, she'd either give the two some privacy or leave the packlands all together- and go find herself a cave. The first seemed to be more proper.

As he slowly walked away from disordly pack, he couldn't help but notice a strangely paced creature's paws hitting the ground a short distance behind him. He announced so the wind would carry his words back to whoever was following him, "Like the view?" He chuckled to himself as he slowed down to walk side by side with the follower. "My name is Bruno, blah blah blah. Who are you and why are you following me? Don't you know that freaks others out?" His voice was friendly as his body language grew a bit happier to see he had company. He turned to glance, just once more on the group before he headed back to the dens. He waited for no reply as he continued rambling, "Where you from? Where you headed? So on and so forth." He was eager to finally have someone to talk to. Bruno's eyes scanned the terrain for his tree marks to lead him back to where he was previously napping. At a later point he realized that the dens he was headed to where much too big for him and his future family, if he was to have one. As he was speaking to the new wolf he encountered, he took quick and sharp turns that his nose desired.

"Oh, uh, hi." Trying to remember all the questions, he was glad that he didn't have to catch up with Bruno, as he had slowed up. He was a bit irked that Bruno had picked up on him so quickly. It must've been his footstep, there was no way he could have been smelt, he was downwind. "Well, I'm Kwabangul, and I'm following you, because, I really have nothing better to do. I'm out here alone, watching clouds. Gets boring pretty damn quickly." Bruno was getting pretty excited. Weird. "I don't know the name of where I'm from, but I know it's south of here, you? I'm not headed anywhere... I had not hin g to do with my life, just followed my instinct and ended up here. Same questions at you." He managed to keep up a cheerful facade, masking his irritability.

"Jealous? Hardly." Saidin snorted, shaking his head and ruffling his fur as he did so. "Being hurt is no fun at all." Turning his attention almost guiltily to the wolf who had abruptly appeared and joined the fight, he returned her greeting. "I'm Saidin; thanks for the help with Sweeper." He glanced at the retreating forms of Bruno and a second wolf, and let out a soft sigh. Sweetsnow was probably right, but no one seemed exactly eager to start rounding up all the wandering loners to create a pack– no one except the albino, and that was just NOT happening. It would be a little hard to stop him, though, with everyone running off by themselves. Still, what could he expect to do about it? His dark gaze returned to the two females he was conversing with, his lighthearted manner quickly returning- if it had ever really disappeared in the first place.

She smiled, dipping her head towards Saidin quietly, audits flicking at his words. She seemed to scan him, as if she was judging him, then her orbs flickered off into the distance, where Sweeper had dissapeared. Knowing him, he would have ran off anyways, with Kota attacking him like she had. She cocked her head, pushing herself up into a standing posistion. Orbs narrowed slightly, as she stared at him. You should try.She said, only five seconds later realizing she hadn't any sense at all. For Alpha, I mean. You seem sensible. She narrowed her eyes once more, the cock of her head less friendly, now more wary. She just realized she was among strangers- those which could attack her at any moment. Tail stopped it's wagging, as she spoke once more. Unless I'm wrong.

Saidin blinked and stared at Sweetsnow for a few seconds while his brain processed her suggestion. He abruptly puffed up, outrageously swelling his chest as he curled his tail upward, raised his head, and struck what he assumed was a powerful-looking pose. "You think so?" He asked in as deep a voice as he could credibly manage, regarding the other wolf with a pompous manner. Then his eyes squeezed shut, his jaws parted... and he burst out laughing. Completely missing her suddenly-cautious attitude, the large wolf deflated and angled his head toward the ground, helplessly swinging it back and forth in mirthful denial. "Me? Alpha?! I-I'm hardly old enough, or smart, or wise enough, or- or..." For a moment he was unable to speak, his fit of hysterics stealing his air faster than he could take it in. "I- I... I'm sorry," he gasped once he could breathe at all again, the thought that she could have been serious occurring to him. He didn't want to offend her, it was just... "It- it's just... who in their right mind could possibly want to follow me? I can't lead a- a pack!" He cracked up again, chortling at the preposterous idea.

She was rather disappointed with Saidin's answer; of all the wolves she would've galdly swore allience to, it would've been him. When the femme suggested the idea, both auds shot forward, agreeing with her completely, though giving no voice to the solution. But with his reaction, they quickly shot back down. She thought he'd make a good leader; well.. He'd saved her from her own stubborn starvation. If that wasn't something to go by, then she didn't know what was. Her maw dipped slightly, gaze soon turning away as she let the two speak. Her opinion wouldn't matter to the two; if Saidin thought he himself was too young; and she knew without a doubt that he was much older than that of herself; then there was no way she of all wolves could speak about matters of this importance.
So as much as she felt obliged to object to him, she managed to keep her tongue at bay.

She narrowed her eyes, anger welling as he took her suggestion as a joke. She took his laughter like mockery of herself, and pulled her head back, standing tall. A lopsided smile forcibly granted her maw, as she lowered her dial once more. While you are still not mature, Saidin, I think that if you put your mind to it, you'd be fine. But you took my suggestion as a joke; therefore you only helped your case. And I do not take offence. Her voice was flat, and dull. Audits flicked to Kota, noticing her impatience. Or whatever might be bothering her. She saw the flicks of the femme's audits, as she had suggested, then the droop of them. She looked back to Saidin. Don't be so quick to doubt yourself, when others trust you so greatly, and look up to you like they do. While she's seen Kota's trust of Saidin, she didn't care that she was exaggerating. If anything, self confidence needed to be instilled within every wolf. If Saidin thought wolves looked up to him, maybe he wouldn't be so quick to deny him that great posistion. I would've claimed the spot myself- if I was younger. While I'm not that old, I'm too tired to rule a pack. Much less defend everyone from Sweeper. Plus- the brute has no respect for females such as I and Kota. Which is why he narrowed onto her. She shook her shaggy dial, lowering her maw to scent the ground, picking up Sweeper's fading smells. I'm too sore to fight him anyways. He doesn't fight fair. She sighed, turning her head to lick her shoulder, tounge brushing over her hidden scar. In this manner, she was vulnerable, her jugular in plain veiw of the other two wolven. Kota was sensible; she seemed to respect Snow. Saidin, was a bit foolish in his ways, and too friendly to try anything. Snow turned back to the two, analyzing them. What do you think, Kota?[/i]

If it were possible, an irritated blush would form across the bridge of Kota's snout at Sweetsnow's observation. Her audits pressed back as far as they could, maw dipping further. She was a proud wolf of a proud family, no matter how shamefully they fell, and the mentioning of an emotion that she herself had yet to admit was aggitating at the very least. Yet despite this aggitation, Sweetsnow soon caught her attention once more with the mentioning of Sweeper- it was something new that she could discover about the wolf who had made such an entrance within the forest. Maybe something she could exploit. Breathing in sharply, she stood back on all paws with an exagerated haste. And yet she waited calmly for the femme to finish her words, jumping at the chance to question. "I am of no position to give an opinion on such a matter...." She hesitated, her gaze shifting from Sweetsnow for the briefest of seconds as she chose her words carefully with the sudden change in topic; the female seemed quick to offend. "But I would like to know why Sweeper hates me so." She took a step forward, almost desperate for the answer. "I had done nothing- I don't even know him! But he tried to hunt me down like mere.. Vermin!"
Her head turned from Sweetsnow to Saidin; he had yet to hear what had happened earlier within the day. It almost made her wonder how he'd react.
