[i]Had watched the awakening routine of the elder Artorias. Her gentle eyes watching his movements as he stood upon all four lengthy stilts and moulded himself into different stretches before making approach towards her. Aiyana's own head dipped as he sat nearby, a respective gesture as she greeted the wiser and older male. The gentle thoughts of her brother as he glanced about danced through her mind as her lips pulled slightly in a agreeable smile.

As she then glanced about further, eyes trailing over the edges of the forest she'd take a deep breath in, the darkened nasals of hers pulling at ever tidbit of information hovering through the minor breeze the forest provided. "[b]I think it may be time to go and check the territory,[/b]" she'd think to herself, sights resting upon the still slumbering Tahoma.

Shaking her head lightly, the sound of ears flapping against her cheeks could be heard. Hind legs slowly pushing upwards as she stepped forward and glanced upon her brother and the elder, "[b]I shouldn't be gone for too long,[/b]" the thoughts traveled lightly as she soon began walking towards the northern edge of the pack's rendezvous sight. This route led towards the river that passed through the Taiga's span, its water cool and refreshing to those who stopped to satisfy thirst. 

As she reached the edge of the forest she'd begin winding between the large trucks of the surrounding trees. Her paws lightly crushing the below mulched earth as she moved elegantly and trailed the outskirts of her territory she'd spent so long looking for; ears alerted, tail flagging high behind her and nasals racing as she listened to the fauna going about their daily habits. Her presence startling some, while only catching the attention of others, most knew of a passing wolf to a hunting wolf and some didn't waste energy unless visibly being eyed for lunch.

Aiyana remained unaware as she begun patrol as to what or who was lurking within the territory, her senses on alert as she was ready to face just about anything and deal with any newcomers she may pass, whether friend or foe she always seemed prepared.[/i][/color]

[i]"[b]Artorias,[/b]" he'd nod lightly towards the awakening elder. Still rested upon his side and elbows Okami would watch the movements slowly happening around him, little Suki still deep in a slumber as she rolled and wiggled and cried and mouthed about within the spacing of his forelimbs. The sound of life around him keeping his maw baring a grin before he'd focus upon the figure of his sister stating she was going to take her routine of ensuring everything was safe. 

He had little to no worries about her being able to defend herself in the chances she passed another wolf or possibly even humans. Okami knew that Aiyana  was strong enough to fight back and fast enough to outrun anything coming her way. "[b]I guess I'll stay here with Suki,[/b]" he'd kid lightly, the mental train of thought drawing him to watching the small bundle of fur he generally pup-sat daily anyway.[/i][/color]

[color=BA55D3][h3]Suki[/h3]
[i]Had lightly stirred upon the awakening of more of those around her, the sound of them shuffling and interacting making partial sights flutter open for investigation. The sight of the larger, ebony male they called 'Artorias' sitting nearby, made her huff in curiosity before she looked up at Aiyana and then Okami.

As Aiyana begun heading off she'd roll onto her stomach, fore-paws shifting to slide under one of Okami's limbs about her and her chin moved to rest upon that same leg. "[b]Why does she always leave us here?[/b]" Suki had thought about this many times before, though Okami never really answered it a way she understood as she watched daily, as the female who'd found and provided her with a sanctuary to grow, left. 

The feeling of being abandoned always struck her in these moments, but it usually never lasted long as she'd glance at Tahoma still slumbering and then to Artorias sitting so near. Mini jowls parted as her still youthful milk-teeth bared themselves with that slender snake of flesh curling, she was still tired and ready to pass out again as she shifted all her limbs to press further into Okami's fluffy and warm chest. Head buried in the crook of his elbow as she watched a few birds fly through the seemingly cloudless blue expanse above.[/i][/color]
