Friendship [open]

[Tumble]

A light breeze blew gently over Tumble’s gray and gold colored pelt. He blinked the dust from his eye, tears beginning to form from irritation. Quickly Tumble rubbed his eye with a front paw to clear away the water. He had gone for a run to stretch out his aching muscles. He had just recently become a Kai and hadn’t been sent on any “missions,” yet and his legs were itching to run. “Well, I’ll become useful soon, hopefully.” He said to himself. A robin flew out of a near by tree making Tumble’s ears twitch. He yawned and walked out from the shade of the trees into a sunny opening. Tumble would joke around camp and talk with the other wolves, but he never really made any close friends. “Oh well, there is still time.’ Tumble thought playfully. He suddenly heard a sound from the bushes, startling the small wolf male. A rabbit sprang out in front of him. Instinct forced him to snap at the creature, but it was too quick and he only bit down on dust causing him to choke. ‘Wow, that was smooth Tumble.’ He thought tongue hanging out.

((Can I join, I like your post. If you say yes, I have to wait for my wolf to get approved.))

[Tumble]

((Sure, it says open, so it is open to any one ;D ))

[WolfieIsCrazy]

((Ok, thank you! I will post as soon as I get my wolf approved))

"Damn rabbit, it's like he knows I can't see out of this eye." Mitsuki growled under her breath as she followed the rabbit, emerging from the bushes into an opening. She was an excellent hunter, but every once in a while, her prey would notice her blind eye and use it to their advantage. The sun shone into her good eye as she stepped out from the shade of a tree. It took her a moment for her eye to adjust to the brightness. She looked around to find the rabbit being snapped at by a male. He missed and got a face full of dust. "Looks like the rabbit is smarter than both of us." She remarked as she padded toward the male. She recognized him, he was Tumble, one of the newer wolves in Akeru.

She sat down next to him, her good eye closest to him. One time she made the mistake of showing her bad eye instead of her good, and spooked away a pup. The poor thing never goes by her anymore. She was smart enough to not do that again. Her fur swayed in the light spring breeze, she closed her eyes and looked at the sky. Spring was her favorite time of year.

[Tumble]

Tumble was incredibly embarrassed when he noticed the other wolf and he looked a bit sheepish. She had seen his failed attempt to catch the rabbit. He had seen the other wolf around the pack camp, and how some were uneasy with her blind eye. Tumble, on the other hand, didn’t mind at all. “Um, hi.” He began hesitantly. He noticed how Mitsuki looked up into the spring sky. “It is a very beautiful day isn’t it?” He said lifting his head as another nice breeze came by. “I just was out for a run. The camp is too crowed.” He said stretching out. “What are you doing out here?” Of course he knew, but Tumble was just trying to make conversation.

[WolfieIsCrazy]

Mitsuki smiled at the sound of his voice. "It is a beautiful day. I agree with you." She opened her eyes and rested her gaze on the wolfs' eyes. They shone a light brown with a blue reflection of the shy above. "The camp does seen crowded at times. That's why I like to come out here and hunt. It's just so peaceful " She paused as another breeze ruffled her fur, bringing the scent of a rabbit. " Except for that damn rabbit. He just Loves to tease me." Her words came out as a playful growl. She smiled as she turned back to the wolf. He made her feel ... different. Like it didn't matter she couldn't use her left eye. Like she didn't even have a bad eye. It made her feel good. "Well, if you have some free time, would you like to hunt with me." She could easily get enough food for the pack on her own, but she liked his company, and she was tired of the stares she got from other wolves. It was like they had never seen a wolf with a blind eye.

[Tumble]

Tumble saw happiness light up in Mitsukis’ eyes, or should I say eye. He liked making others happy because it made him feel happy. “Hunting isn’t my strongest skill. You, o the other hand, can hunt.” He paused. “Well except for that rabbit.” He added playfully. “It seems it has made a new sport of teasing us wolves.” Tumble joked getting to his paws. The warm sunlight fell upon him making his gold patches of fur lighter. “I guess I could hunt for a bit, with you of course. It wouldn’t be fun with out another wolf.” He said. His face showed a goofy, dog-like grin. “Lets see if our rabbit friend is willing to play along.”

Mitsuki was delighted to have Tumble hunt with her. She pointed with her nose to the dense forest next to her. Her nostrils flared as the scent of a wounded dear entered her nose. The deer was nearby, stumbling through the undergrowth to find a safe spot. Her ears turned from side to side, trying to locate the deer. Her ears stopped moving once she found out where the deer was. She closed her eyes, letting the sounds and smells guide her through the forest. She moved her paws slowly, making sure not to make noise. There were noises behind her, so she could't tell if tumble was following her. She could sense him, it was weird having another wolf with her, since she hunted alone most of the time. Most of the wolves disliked her, she didn't know why. Was it my eye? It was all she could think about. She stopped and stared at the ground, covered in leaves.

A breeze brought the scent of deer with it. It was getting away, and for once. She didn't care. Why do they not like me? I'm not mean, am I?

[Tumble]

He watched as the other she-wolf began to listen for prey. He, too, strained to hear his surroundings, but he almost instantly gave up. Sure he had hunted for himself, but that was when he just came across them by accident. Tumble wasn’t the most patient guy. As Mitsuki began to move, Tumble followed trying to be as quiet as she was. It wasn’t going to well. He would wince at every little sound he made and his to feel his skin under his fur heat up with embarrassment. ‘I so useless when it comes to this stuff.’ Tumble thought irritably. ‘Mitsuki must be mad at me for making all this noise.’ He suddenly caught wind of the scent she had been following. It was deer and as soon as Tumble was going to jump after it when Mitsuki suddenly stopped. Her head was facing toward the ground and she held a saddening aura around her. Was it because he was being too loud? Did she not enjoy his company? “Mitsuki, what’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?” He asked swinging around to her font and whimpering in concern.

[WolfieIsCrazy]

Mitsuki shook her paw as a tear dropped down from her fur. "I'm fine." She paused and tried to make her voice sound convincing. She didn't know who she was trying to convince more. Tumble or herself? "I was just thinking." She hoped he wouldn't ask, but she couldn't control other wolves. Her ear nose twitched a breeze brought the scent of rotting meat. They were to late to get the deer. But, since it died this soon, it probably wouldn't be very good meat.

The night was creeping up like a cat stalking prey, slow and silent. The breeze's became cooler and swifter as the day faded away. "I think we should head back." She tried her best to sound happy, but she didn't know if he could read faces as well as some other wolves'. She turned in the direction of the dens, muting her senses to ignore the wolf if he decided to not believe her.

[Tumble]

He saw the tears drip down from the she-wolves' eyes. Tumble saw she didn’t want to talk about it, so he decided to drop it. All he said was, “If there is anything I can do, he hesitate to ask.” With that he realized, like Mitsuki, that it was getting dark. He wanted to cheer her up so Tumble ran a little bit ahead of her then stopped to turn around. “I’ll race you back,” He said with another stupid grin of his face. He was about to take off when he tripped clumsily into a pile of leaves. Tumble poked his head out and coughed out some leaves from his mouth. Tumbles’ ears flatted with embarrassment. He was trying to cheer Mitsuki up, not make a fool of himself.

[WolfieIsCrazy]

Mitsuki nodded her head in thanks to Tumble. That was all she needed, someone to see her true self- past the blind eye. When he offered an easy win for her, she didn't hesitate. She took off after him, passing him with ease. She heard a crash, she slowed down and turned around to see a pile of leaves being tossed into the air. Tumble had tripped and fell into a pile of leaves. He flattened his ears, obviously from embarrassment. Mitsuki padded over to him, she tried her best to hide her laugh, but failed as a burst of laughter escaped her lips. She came face to face with him and blew a leaf that settled on the top of his head.

"Maybe we should just walk." She didn't know if she was audible due to her laughter. Now she knew where he got his name.

[Tumble]

“That might be a good idea.” Tumble said still hot from embarrassment. Then, forgetting his embarrassing ‘tumble’, he began to laugh with her. Mitsuki was fun to be around. Tumble felt relaxed and carefree in that moment laughing away his worries. Maybe he had just made a friend. He was always was trying to hard to make others happy that he forgot about his own happiness. “ Maybe if I walk, I might not fall into another pile of leaves.” Tumble said after his laughing died down. He got to feet and shook a leaf from his paw. Tumble began to walk a little bit a head. He then turned to face Mitsuki. “Do you think that we could become friends? I’ve never really had a real friend.” Tumble asked hesitantly.

[WolfieIsCrazy]

Mitsuki watched the leaf drop to the floor from his paw. She followed after him, instead of watching the ground in font of her, she watching the ground in front of tumble. When he asked to be friends, she was shocked. Normally people just become friends, they don't ask. He was a weird one. "I thought that we already were." She walked past him, playfully dragging her tail across his face. Her nose twitched as the smell of rabbit entered her nose. She looked to her right and saw a rabbit emerging from a bush. She quickly lowered into a crouch and turned to the direction of the small prey. It must be a stupid rabbit to not be able to sense a wolf about to pounce on it, just a few feet away. Within a second the rabbit was dangling from her jaws. She dropped in front of Tumble. "My first gift for my first friend." She smiled and waited to see what he would do.
