[i]Oh Bam-bam...how many times do I have to tell you...anyone but Akira[/i] Beast shrunk back from Luke as he blew air down his nose at him, he placed his paws back on the ground watching the alpha slide out of his nest. [i]Arceus...he did not wake up on the right side of the nest today[/i] The Arcanine thought to himself, noting the truth to Akira's words he nodded as if in understanding. Not sure he should relax even though the Ninetales had said she wasn't going to bark at him. "Yes Akira..." He murmured lowering his head to her before she left feeling a prickle of worry a the thinly veiled threat the alpha's mate issued him, he exhaled as she walked out. "Well...this is a good start to the day hmm Amara?" He chuckled to the only cub that had remained with him.He lowered his head to Amara. "Come now Amara, there's no need to hide. Would you come with me to find the others?" He asked her gently, water dripped off the end of his nose as he nudged her lightly. His ears pricked as he heard another voice echo around his nest, he turned his large head to look at Kir offering her a toothy smile as he greeted her. "Good morning Kir, how are you today? Say Puff wouldn't happen to be with you, would she?" He greeted and quickly inquired as he got up and padded over to the door glancing to make sure Amara was with him before he dared to step outside. [i] - Bam-bam - [/i] Bam-bam had been happily frolicking for a while now, moving slowly around towards Beast's nest,She skipped her way out of the long grass catching sight of Kirlia and Puff also making their way to Beast's hut! They must have heard about her, helping out Akira this morning. With this in mind she merrily skipped on, though as the previously mentioned Ninetales appeared out of Beast's hut she ground to a halt. Watching the majestic pokemon quickly move towards her, she felt a smile cross her face as she hopped out of the long grass a few meters in front of Akira. "Akira! HI" The Cubone shouted to her, waving her bone around so fast she lost her grip on it and sent it flying towards the agitated Ninetales. [i]Oops...[/i] She put a hand to her mouth watching the bone soar through the air...prepared to bolt should Akira decide the bone throwing had been a purposeful act.
