-bodolf looks at okami- "she... she would be ok with me going into her? she... she might be tired or something? i don't want to bother her unless it is ok"

-adimar huffs as he sits normal again watching speaking in a sharp voice- "sorry"

-josh gets back up brushing himself down with a sigh- "that's ok wolfie. come in" -josh moves to sit on the sofa as talyn nuzzles kira- "hey there, you and the pups ok?"

-Khari smirking as she watches Josh, Kira nodding as the pups feed from her- "I'm fine.. just a little tired"

-Akela growling softly at the tone of his voice, looking at Zion and Tammy she lowers her ears a little-

-Okami rolling her eyes as she lays beside the pups- "Just go and see her."

-bodolf nods as he stands moving into the room scarlett had gone into-

-adimar huffs- "it's good to see you"

-josh sighs as he sits on the sofa as talyn nods- "are the little ones ok?"

"They are fine" -Kira wagging her tail as she looks at the pups, smiling as she watches them sleep-

-Akela keeping her ears low as she lays her head down, sniffling softly she mumbles- "Please don't hurt them.."

-Scarlet would be taking her boots off as she sits on her bed, wrapping a bandage around her wrist she looks at Bodolf and smiles- "Hey Bodolf. What can I do for you?"

-bodolf whimpers as he watches knowing that she was hurt lifting a paw not knowing if to move closer or not looking at her wrist-

-adimar perks his ears- "wh... why would i ever do that?"

talyn nuzzles kira as josh watches them. talyn looking at josh making josh instantly look away as talyn keeps nuzzling kira- "i missed you kira. i am sorry that i keep disapearing"

"Bodolf.." -Scarlet smiling as she motions for him to come closer, taping the bandage in place- "I lost my footing on a hill, i just scraped my wrist on a rock. Im fine honestly"

"I....i.. I don't know" -Akela curling up as she whimpers softly- "I know you won't do anything.. I just have.. flashbacks. and nightmares that these two get hurt..."

-Kira wagging her tail as Talyn nuzzles her, licking his muzzle softly- "You are now. And maybe you could just watch these two whilst I have a small nap..?"

-talyn nods- "absolutly" -josh looks over at kira, talyn glances at josh making him yet again looks away and get up stepping out of the house, talyn giving a confused shrug at josh's reactions nuzzling kira- "please do rest ok"

-adimar nods- "i understand akela. i am sorry that you have them but i am not that mutt that last time i saw was locked in a cage at the alpha's house"

-bodolf quickly moves and sits in front of scarlett sniffing her wrist licking it a little-

"I... I'm sorry." -Akela whining as she lays her head beside the pups, smiling a little as she looks at Zion- "He looks just like you.."

"Bodolf i'm fine.." -Scarlet chuckling softly as she strokes Bodolf's fur gently- "I have been through worse, a small cut to my wrist is nothing"

"They have just been fed.. so they should ne fine.. Just watch them.." -Kira mumbling the last part as she falls asleep as soon as her head lays back down again-

-talyn lays next to kira with the pups in between them- "rest well kira"

-adimar nods again- "indeed he does."

-bodolf nuzzles into scarlett's hand as his eyes close a little-

-josh closes the door to his house slightly moving towards scarlett's house slowly-

-Ashe whining in her sleep as she wriggles next to Kira, this making Narla wake as she also whines-

-Scarlet smiling as she uses her other hand to stroke Bodolf gently-

"Wanna come and say hi...?" -Akela stretching out a little so Adimar can see the pups-

-adimar smiles looking at akela- "am i ok to?"

-talyn nuzzles the pups softly-

-bodolf wags his tail like crazy as scarlett does-

-josh gets to the door of scarlett's house softly knocking on the door, only okami able to hear him-

-Akela nodding as she nuzzles Zion softly and smiles-

-Okami perking her ears up as she looks towards the door, smelling it's Josh she wags her tail-

-Ashe whimpering as she wriggles in the bed, crawling over Narla-

-Zion stretching his little paws out as he yawns, Akela watching Adimar then glancing at the pups-

-Scarlet patting Bodolf's head as she stands up, Okami running over to josh as she wags her tail-

-Nova lay down on a rug by the fire she glances at Talyn- "How come you kept staring at Josh?

-adimar chuckles as he watches the pups- "so cute"

-josh looks down at okami and smiles stepping in a little- "hey there big girl"

-bodolf sticks at scarlett's side keeping his head against her injured wrist as if protecting it-

-talyn shrugs- "i ain't a fan of humans, it is nothing personal"

-Scarlet heading into the living room as Okami wags her tail and licks Josh's hand-

-Nova eyeing him for a moment before laying her head back down, watching Kira sleep- "When you go for long periods.. it really does hurt her feelings.."

-Akela gently picking Zion up and placing him between Adimar's paws- "Zion.. this is your daddy.."

-adimar perks his ears glancing at akela then looking at the pup- "hey there"

-bodolf keeps his head against scarlett's wrist as he stays by her side moving with her-

-josh softly strokes okami looking over at scarlett and bodolf- "well then"

-talyn whimpers softly- "i... i know. i really should do better"

-Zion crawling onto Adimar's paw as Akela nods, lowering her ears- "I trust you.."

-Nova licking her paw as she watches Talyn- "Why do you go away so much?"

-Okami wagging her tail as she nuzzles Josh's leg whilst Scarlet adjusts her bandage- "You okay Josh?"

-josh shakes his head tears starting to form in his eyes as he keeps stroking okami- "i... i can't do it... i..."

-bodolf nuzzles scarlett's leg softly-

-talyn sighs looking at nova- "your a curious little one aren't you?"

-adimar nods softly nuzzling the pup with a smile- "thank you akela"

"You have some time with them, i'm just gonna eat" -Akela standing as she nuzzles Narla softly, nuzzling Adimar as she heads towards her bowl-

"And you like to dodge questions" -Nova smirking as she licks her paw, looking at Talyn- "And I am an adult now. Not a pup"

"Josh.. What can't you do?" -Scarlet frowning as she walks closer, rubbing his arm gently-

-bodolf sits looking at josh-

-josh glances at baodolf sterpping back a little as he whispers keeping one eye on bodolf nervous of if he heard the next part making sure only scarlett could hear- "th... that wolf.... the... the wild one... he... he knows i am scared.... and... and i think he is getting ready to push me out... i... i need help please."

-talyn nods- "your going to be fine when you get out into the world properly. i can tell you can handle your self already"

-adimar lays with the pups nodding to akela-

-Akela glancing back at Adimar as Zion crawls onto his paw-

"Shh.. calm down it is okay" -Scarlet frowning as she wipes Josh's tears away gently and pulls him into a hug, Okami listening too Josh as she huffs, looking out the window-

"You never answered my question." -Nova grinning as she lays down on her side and stretches- "My sister wonders what you do when you wonder off for days on end."

-talyn lowers his head- "just... think i guess... i am not a fan of humans and the only reason i am here is for you and kira."

-josh sniffles hugging scarlett back- "i... i am so sorry... i... i just need help with that wolf. he.... he is welcome to my home and all but i just don't want him to push me away from kira or my home"

-bodolf perks his ears looking at josh ready to move, not in a friendly way tho only okami would be able to tell-

-adimar nuzzles the pup softly as he smiles- "you are so cute"

"Bodolf. He isn't a threat." -Okami eyeing Bodolf as she tilts her head before glancing back at the door, Scarlet smiling as she rubs his back gently- "Shh its fine, i'll help you"

-Akela wagging her tail as she watches Adimar and smiles- "You are a great father"

-Nova huffing as she lays her head between her paws- "Still does not answer the question. You leave your mate and pups for days on end because of a little fear? Ha okay..."

(Btw, Nova, Khari & Bodolf Jr are one of Okami and Bodolfs litters. Nova & Khari live with Josh also)

-talyn narrows his eyes his voice firm but not aggressive- "not fear. it is so i do not do something stupid whilst keeping my freedom. yes my wonderful mate and pups suffer but i would rather have days away knowing i can come back over messing up and not being allowed back"

-bodolf perks his ears at okami's voice sitting back down lowering his head-

-josh pulls back a little looking at scarlett tears still falling as he speaks- "b... but how? h...how will you help?"

-adimar looks at akela and nods- "if you says so"
