OPEN: You Were Delicate and Hard to Find

[[Midnight]]

There was a huge grin on his face.
The kind of grin that the little guy only ever wore if something very special had happened.
That's why, when Frosty approached Toboe, his son, the fluffy wolf could tell that something special had indeed happened to Toboe.

"Greetings, Son," he growled as he sat down near the tan wolf. He planned on asking Toboe a bit about his sister, Sapphire, but first the concerned father wanted to know what kind of mischief his pup was up to.
As he greeted him, Toboe looked up at his father, the grin still plastered on his maw. It was so contagious that even Frosty found himself smiling inquisitively before he even knew why they were both smiling!
"Mind telling me what's going on with you?"
He asked the question in a slight no-crap tone. Whether or not Toboe even noticed, Frosty was unsure.

Toboe smiled even wider, his tail smacking against the snowy ground. He was glad his father had found him, because he was exactly the wolf he wanted to talk to. He didn't wait to build up the excitement and just went for it.
"Dad, I think I might have a mate!" he stated, trying hard to stop himself from taking a leap into the air.

"What? Really?" Frosty questioned, a look of utter surprise on his face. He knew Spring was coming and the next generation was old enough to start their lives, but he just didn't expect this all to happen so soon. Especially with the rather immature Toboe. Goodness, was he going to lose all three of his children this season?
He wasn't sure what more to say, so took it slow.
"Uhh, well, that's great, Son. Who's the girl crazy enough to like you?" he teased with a small smile.

At this, Toboe sat back on his rump, his eyes bright and exuberant.
"It's Eyelle. She's so awesome and pretty, and we just talked for a little while and I gave her company, and... I really like her. And I think she really likes me, too."
He waited to see what Frosty would think.

Frosty took a quick look down, nodding his head. "Ahh. Eveline's daughter. She's just your type," he said quietly, and quite sincerely. He could picture the couple together. "Well, did you ask her to be your mate?"
Toboe frowned, tilting his head a bit to the side. "Ask? I have to ask her?"
Frosty sighed loud and long. Poor little Toboe. "Yes, of course you have to ask! How else do you think it happens?"

Toboe looked down at his paws. Maybe that's why Eyelle had wanted it to go a little slower? He hadn't even asked her to be his mate yet! "Well..." he said, starting to tell his dad how he felt. "I just thought, you find someone you like, someone who makes you get that feeling in your belly. That feeling that you know you want to take care of that wolf and love them for your lifetime. And that's what I got with Eyelle. So I licked her cheek to see what it felt like."

Frosty smiled proudly. Toboe had the right idea, he was just a bit clueless about how to actually make things official. But he would learn. And, perhaps Eyelle really did love Toboe back, which was just fine. Frosty was happy to see the pack was truly prospering because of the young ones.
"Well, Toboe, you're half right. But if you know you really love Eyelle, then you need to make sure she loves you back. And you do that by asking her to be your mate. You can't just assume that you're mates already just because things went smoothly at first," he counciled his youngest son and child, watching him with soft and proud eyes.

Toboe nodded, now detirmined to do just what Frosty had suggested. But he would do it sometime later, after he thought about what he had said. For now, he wanted to be in the company of his one and only pop.
"So how is the family?"


{Just come in however the heck you want }

[Malo]

ooc||I want to bring Jasmyne into this :] If that's okay

[[Midnight]]

{Heck yes, shoot and score, wonderfullest-Malo This is an open board for anyone and everyone!}

[Malo]

ooc||Lol she can talk to Toboe about Eyelle xD

bic||As her nose caught familiar scents, the fae moved towards them, her creamy pelt blowing in the breeze as she moved at a brisk pace. She was more careful than usual; she knew the mountains could be even more dangerous at this time of year, especially because of the snow. She wondered why Toboe and Frosty had chosen here to speak to each other, but she wouldn't ask. Coming upon the two, she gave a smile.

Hey there you guys! She said with an exasperated breath-running up the mountain and trying to avoid getting injured in the snow had taken a lot out of her for some reason. She walked up to them, and sat down eagerly next to Toboe. Giving a nodd and warm smile to Frosty, she looked at Toboe and grinned. How have you guys been lately? Can you believe it's almost spring? She scratched her neck with her hind leg and waited for an answer, hoping she wasn't intruding on anything really important or personal.

[[Midnight]]

Frosty nodded a greeting at Jasmyn, surprised when he got a good look at her. He remembered seeing this female as a little pup, and she was growing up fast. Just like all the others.
Good gosh, it's just so hard to believe.
Ironically, too, Jasmyn was Eyelle's sister, the topic he and Toboe had just been discussing.
"Yes, it is hard to believe. This winter wasn't so bad after all; in fact, it truly flew by," he replied with a proud smile.

Toboe shifted next to Jasmyn, eyeing her carefully. Did she know about what was going on with he and her sister? I mean, she had been sitting there the entire time... Or, at least, for as long as he could remember. Now that he thought about it, he realized he had lost complete track of Jasmyn after he and Eyelle began their deep bonding.
"Hiya, Jasmyn! We've been really great, in fact, we were just talking about your sister... Eyelle," he told her, a bit shyly. This was quite awkward, more so than he thought it would be. "How have you two been lately?"
He tried to be nonchalant about it, but the desperation for info about Eyelle was just so obviously plastered all over his face and in his eyes.

[Malo]

Jasmyne turned her gentle head towards Toboe, and raised an eyebrow at his eagerness. She pretended not to notice, secretly jealous that Eyelle could have so much attention from someone, when Jasmyne had no one of her own. Though she was happy for Eyelle, that was for certain. She would always love her sister, and when she was happy, Jasmyne was happy. It was the same for Leia, though she knew her bond was stronger with Eyelle.

I've been good Toboe. And the last I saw Eyelle, was when we were with our uncle Josiah. A kind of family meeting, if you will. And before that, we were fighting with that ignoramus Tessar. Ugh, he puts my fur on end.

[[Midnight]]

Toboe pretended to know what an ignoramus was and laughed a bit awkwardly.
"Ehehehehh. What kind of fight was it? Is she okay?" he asked, looking over at his father, who was rolling his eyes at him.
Frosty took a step forward, shouldering Toboe, and asked Jasmyne, "Isn't that bum from Falling Moon? Surely you and Eyelle took care of him."
He winked at Jasmyne, showing he didn't really expect the two females to kill a Falling Moon. Toboe just studied Jasmyne, thinking of how different the two pretty sisters were from each other.

[Malo]

It was just an arguement. He's quite rude, Toboe, he disrespected Xaka...and yes, she's quite alright. Turning her head towards Frosty, she nodded in disgust. Yes, he is. He was messing with Topaz too. But he's too much of a wimp to fight Eyelle and I. Besides, we'd pummel him. She said, a grin on her face as she demonstrated by tackling Toboe and gnawing on his left ear.

[[Midnight]]

Toboe laughed as he was tackled to the dirt floor, trying to pull his ear out of her grasp. It didn't quite work, which only made him laugh even harder. One of Toboe's favorite things was wrestling, after all.
"Ahh, g-goodness, Jasmyne," he yelled, beginning to paw at her with a front paw.

Frosty smiled and nodded his head in agreement, the contagious laughter of his son rubbing off on him a bit, too. "I'm glad to see you and Eyelle are honorable Dancing Stars. After all, it'd be embarassing if you beat him up in a completely unfair fight...." Then he raised a brow, realizing something else. "Then again, any fight against Dancing Stars would be unfair for Falling Moon. We've become tougher than they could ever imagine!"

"That's right," Toboe replied confidently, still trying to pull his ear away from Jasmyne.

[Bry]

ooc: Let's bring in Leia. They can have a sister to sister to friend to male talk! xDDD

bic: Leia padded up behind Jasmyne, and gave her and Toboe a friendly grin. She then did a wolf-curtsie to Frosty. "Hello you three!" She said happily. She was curious to what they were talking about, but wouldn't it be rude to butt in like that? Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes. No. Yes... NO. She couldn't stand the curiosity. Surely, if it was rude, she'd be forgiven, wouldn't she? She gulped nervously, "S-So, what are you all speaking about? I heard Eyelle's name, is something the matter with her?"

[Malo]

Jasmyne stopped shaking her head-with Toboe's ear still in in it-long enough to look up at her sister's voice, her smile growing larger as her littermate appeared. Yes, we were talking about our little...run in, with that fool Tessar. Eck, he's so rude. She snorted, then laughed along with Toboe and Frosty. Turning to the older of the two, she grinned. You are right about that Frosty. We're much stronger than we were then, and now, not only you veterans can join the fray. Eyelle, and Leia, and Caerwyn, and Prospero, and Toboe and I and all the others who were pups can help now too. We can beat them.

She stood up straight, puffing out her chest and making herself look bigger. Yes, they had all grown into strong adults in Dancing Stars, and would be a force to be reckoned with. She was proud of her pack, and looking at Toboe who was still under her, pounced on him again, pawing his face playfully.

[[Midnight]]

Frosty sighed, proud of Jasmyne's truthful words. The only problem was, Falling Moon probably had pups of their own, too. Surely they hadn't just been sitting around all this time. All possibilites had to be considered. But he wouldn't trouble the younger ones with worries, not right now. There were more important things happening right now.
He tuned back into the conversation, smiling at Leia's polite greeting. "Hello, Leia!"
It was almost like it was turning into a gathering of in-laws. If, of course, Eyelle and Toboe was to happen.

"Hi, Leia," Toboe echoed, sitting still for a moment to greet the other sister. He felt proud of himself; he was getting to know Eyelle's family, right? And that was a good thing, right?
He growled at Jasmyne and tried to roll away, his laughter starting up again.

[Malo]

A grin was set upon her maw as she sat down, backing away from Toboe's frame. She looked around at the familiar faces, glad to have their company with her. She couldn't believe the year they had had, and they were almost full grown now. And to think it would be spring soon. They would soon be old enough to have their own pups, with permission of course. It seemed funny to her, how a year ago around this time, the adults were running around somewhat similiar to the way they were doing now. And of course, it's how she and her sisters came to be.

Jasmyne gave a stretch then lay down, glad to be in the company of friends of family. If it could only be this peaceful all the time. She looked at Toboe, head tilted. So whatcha been up to lately Toboe? No trouble, I would hope.
