The Wildwood Keep the story going

Gladius walked up to Kama and bit her ear teasingly. She listened to Gladius before she spoke. <b>"I'm only looking out for you dear."</b> Kama rubbed her neck against Gladius, nuzzling her. Gladius' eyes widened as she grinned at Kama's statement. She listened as Gladius spoke. <b>"He'd have to worry about you and me. I doubt this skinny thing could take us both anyways."</b>

Kama grew uneasy as Gladius walked right up to the strange boy. She showed hostility but her eyes showed amusement. Gladius thought this whole situation was a game. Kama kept a close eye on the two younger wolves and tensed up as the male ran past her and Gladius. He came back with a rabbit in his mouth. He dropped it in between the two girls and told them to eat it. Kama picked it up and threw it at Gladius' feet.

<font style='margin-left:20px;'>Gladius chuckled at Kama's remarks, eying the brujo as he tossed the rabbit at their feet. "A decent hunter though, he might be worth more than his compliments yet." She teased, her jaws parting to let her tongue loll. She wagged her tail easily and sniffed at the fat hare as Kama tossed it to her, and she quickly looked back up at the male with a cunning gleam in her yellow optics. "I will enjoy knowing you have slain my foe's brethren, while the thing lies fat in his den, I feast on his friend. This doesn't mean I couldn't have still gotten him- If I had truly wanted." She murmured the last more to herself than the male, tearing at the rabbit and bolting down the meat quickly. </font>
<font style='margin-left:20px;'>She swiped her tongue over her jaws when she finished, letting her tassel hang comfortably as she looked from Kama to the stranger. "Boyo- what is your calling?" She barked, almost an order but out of good nature as she grinned at him. The hostility from Kama towards the stranger amused her, and she wondered if it was just his interest in her that would anger the wolfess, or if Gladius returning the interest would spark irritation as well. She did not wish to displease her fosterma- it would simply tickle her hide even more if simply speaking to the boy would wrinkle Kama's nose.</font>

Brynn looked between the two females as the younger one ate the rabbit he caught. He smiled when she mentioned he might be worth more than his compliments. Brynn wagged his tail slightly. He chuckled when she made the comment about the rabbit. She was quite an interesting young wolf.

<b>"Name's Brynn."</b> He looked to Kama as he spoke again. <b>"I overheard you're Kama but may I get your name miss?"</b> He turned to face Gladius when he said the last part. She seemed to enjoy when the overprotective female was aggressive towards him, something he didn't really enjoy.

Kama watched the two closely. Gladius seemed to enjoy the boys company. Perhaps she should give him a chance. Kama would still keep a close eye on him though. <b>"We are heading for Bramble Falls. I suppose you're welcome to join if you wish. I'll be keeping an eye on you though."</b> She glared at him, a small warning.

Kama looked to Gladius, wondering if she was ready to keep moving. She was nervous, excited, and anxious to get to the falls.

<font style='margin-left:20px;'>"Gladius Blacksea." She gave an exaggerated bow and smirked, tail swishing the ground behind her like an amused tabby cat's. Her tail's speed increased at the mention of bringing the boy along on their journey, and she bounced on her feet excitedly. Although she would not know it, part of her enjoyment of the boy's company was out of the rising breeding season. A pure instinct, though she had no interest in mothering pups anytime soon, it made her toe tips tingle and her body feel more lightweight than it did before. Spring fever she would pass it off as, for a warrior could never admit their weakness outright.</font>
<font style='margin-left:20px;'>She nodded her head when Kama looked to her to see if they should continue, and flicking her tail tip wildly she leaped ahead, back on the course to bramble falls. She briefly looked back to make sure they were keeping up, her tail arched behind as she led the cavalry-like charge to find Kama's lost mate. Today was certainly proving to be an adventure.</font>
