A soft pattering could be heard as the tan and white male trotted leisurely through the forest. Sparrow paused for a moment to scent the air and was still for a while before shrugging and trotting on. He stopped in a small, grassy clearing and sat down. It was a good place he'd found to relax and just think about how life was going.
He thought back to not to long ago when Leia had almost drowned under the ice and frowned slightly. Then his thoughts moved to Exx, his newest friend in the pack and he found his tail wagging slightly. His head dipped slightly as if embarrassed even though there was no one there. He started to think of other things, generally spacing out. Even if another wolf were to come into the little clearing with him, her probably wouldn't notice for a few minutes or until the wolf spoke. He sighed softly, still lost in thought and lay down staring at the grass in front of him. His ear twitched slightly at the rustling of a bush nearby, but it didn't pull him from his little world.

Exx peered out from behind the wall of verdant shrubbery in which she hid. She snickered softly to herself and thought it a good idea to surprise her new friend. She had been rather down yesterday, but another new friend, by the name of Sukalina, lifted her spirits and Exx was feeling rather peachy this morning. She smiled as Sparrow idly wagged his tail, his tawny head moving round and round to look for her. She stifled a giggle and pawed the earth, ready to make her attack.
In one fell swoop, Exx lunged out of the bushes and hurled her small, yet powerful body right onto Sparrow, laughing like a manian all the while. She plopped to the ground next to him and giggle for a good minute before she looked up at his face to see his reaction. |

Sparrow had been completely oblivious to Exx's approach so when she jumped at him, he yelped slightly and jumped back, his head lowered and his dark eyes wide in surprise. His neck fur was beginning to rise, but once he recognized the black fur and green eyes of his new friend, he calmed down and let his fur lie flat. He shook his fur and sat down as if trying to regain his dignity and tilted his head slightly. "Aw, what was that for?" he asked, trying to sound like he hadn't just been startled out of his skin.
He shifted slightly as he calmed down some more and smiled slightly at her. He ducked his head slightly again as he thought about what he must've looked like to Exx after she'd jumped at him and his fur grew warm when he heard her giggling. He would've been blushing if he didn't have his thick tawny fur. He gave a goofy grin and shook his head slightly before looking back to the black female.

ooc // Awww I lobe Sparrah! He's sooo cute.
Exx's giggles subsided and she was gasping for breath. When she finally regained her composure, she heaved a sigh and looked up at him through fathomless, mystifying green eyes.
"You should've seen your face!" She smirked. "But I cannot blame you, for I am a terrifying huntress!" She snarled slightly as she said that, but her ears remained forward in a playful posture. She lay down on the turf and rolled onto her back, making an imprint in the already melting snow. Kicking and batting her legs at the sky, she grinned up at Sparrow. |

Sparrow nodded and smirked slightly. "Yes, you're such a terrifying huntress," he said. "I'm sure all the mice and rabbits are shaking in their burrows where they are safe and warm," he said with a slight teasing tone. He padded over to him, his paws crunching in the snow that had managed to escape the warmth of the coming springtime. He grinned and placed a tawny paw lightly on her chest and tilted his head the other way he'd tilted it before.
"There, I've got you pinned," he stated calmly and wagged his tail a couple times. "Does that make me the mightiest hunter in the forest?" he asked with some authority in his voice while maintaining the playful posture. Of course, she wasn't actually pinned and if she truly wanted to, she could get up with little to no difficulty depending on how playful the male felt at the time.
((Sparrow lubs you too))

Feeling the pressure on her chest, Exx giggled, gazing up at Sparrow who loomed above her menacingly.
"Well, I suppose it does, if I didn't do this!" She rolled over like a trained Beagle to where she was between his front legs on her stomach. She got her footing and stood straight up swiftly, attempting to pick to male completely up off the ground. She laughed and bounced him about twice, which as as much as she could do given her small size. |

To be perfectly honest, Sparrow had just been expecting her to stand, but when he found that she'd effectively picked him up, he was a little surprised. He gave a small 'Oof!' when her shoulders first hit his belly and he whined softly, paddling the air like he was swimming. He 'oof'ed again when she bounced him before sliding to the ground and landing in a light brown heap, pretending to be dead.
After a moment of 'death' he sat up with a big goofy grin across his muzzle and his tongue hanging out of his mouth a bit as he panted slightly. His tail brushed back and forth against the snow and patches of grass and he looked at Exx, shrugging his shoulders in defeat. "I'll admit it. You got me," he yipped and continued to look at her as he sat there happily, resembling a big happy wolf shaped teddy bear.

Exx barked happily, green eyes sparkling brilliantly. Her gorgeous black coat was contrasted by the tiny flecks of snow that had collected upon it when she had fallen to the ground. She yipped again and lowered the front end of her body to the ground while her rear was up in the air, tail wagging like a banner. She tossed her head and slapped the ground with her forepaws, indicating that it was time to play. She leapt from side to side, waiting for the male to catch on. |

Sparrow mocked the play bow before prancing forward and trying to get his nuzzle between the back of one of her front legs and her under belly so he could nudge her and possibly make her fall over. After he'd made his attempted, he danced back and lowered his chest until it was just above the snow. He tail wagged, but he didn't hold it up as high as Exx's. I supposed you could call it Sparrow's natural submissiveness coming out to play. He gave an anxious yap and hopped from side to side as he waited for the female to make her move.
After a few seconds of waiting, he lifted himself off the ground slightly and looked at her quizzically. He briefly wondered if playtime was over and felt slightly disappointed. He loved playtime, it was one of his favorite times. He tipped his head a little and gave a curious whine before lowering himself to the ground again and smiling up at Exx as he waited. Mind you, all of those actions only took about ten seconds, Sparrow's just impatient when it comes to play.

Exx's gentle green eyes were full of excitement as she curiously watched the pup-like antics of her friend. She chuckled and pounced on him, ears pinned to her head in mock fury. She let out a "terrifying" yelp and opened her mouth. She nipped gently at his ears and scrambled with her paws to climb over his back.
Being the graceful creature she was, Exx slipped off and onto the ground with a subdued "oof!" She giggled like a pup and commenced to trying to nip at his heels and ankles. |

Sparrow gave a playful whine as she nipped at his ears and set them back and out of the way. He gave a small yelp and backed up, sort of resembling a dancer as he hopped from one foot to the other in an attempt to avoid the nips. Of course, there was a grin on his face the whole time. He even lunged forward and tried to get her side with his paws.
He tried to control his jump so that if he did hit her with his paws he wouldn't hit to hard and hurt her. Playtime wasn't supposed to hurt. At least normally it wasn't. He grinned, his ears gong randomly between facing forward in a playful manner and being pinned back against his head in mock aggression. He gave a playful growl and tried to paw at her face or neck.

Exx grinned and spun about Sparrow's compact form, her tail swishing delicately behind her midnight black body. She let loose a few sharp barks and nipped at his ears, hopping back and forth on her nimble paws.
She backed up at sat down, tail wagging in the dirt. She yawned and smiled wearily at Sparrow, who was still oblivious to her ending the game. "Sparrow." She smiled and tilted her head, her eyelids heavy over her sparkling green eyes. "It's been a long day." She blinked slowly, watching him. |

Sparrow seemed disappointed, but nodded nonetheless and sat down, panting slightly and looking up at her. He still felt like playing, but if she wanted to stop, then so be it. Maybe it would be better to just sit and talk a little bit.
"So what about today made it a long day for you?" he asked with his head tilted slightly to the side and his ears pricked curiously. He looked at her as he crossed his white legs in front of him and also yawned. He glanced around the clearing but, seeing nothing more interesting than the other wolf, looked back to her.

Exx felt his gaze burn against her. Her cheeks flared up and she stammered a bit before struggling to free an exhausted hmmh from her lips. Smiling awkwardly she said,
"Just arriving at Dancing Stars land, meeting Caerwyn, you, and this roughhousing has made me quite sleepy. I traveled a long distance to get here, Sparrow" She cast her emerald eyes toward him, feeling the warmth of his friendly gaze. "And you're starting to make me feel as though it was worth my troubles." As she said this, she giggled slightly, and looked down at her paws. She knew every little detail of them, that is how often she was staring at the ground. |

By now, Sparrow was rolled over on his back, warming his belly fur in the sunlight that decided to peek through the trees. All four of his legs were in the air and the top of his head was brushing the ground as he continued to watch Exx as she spoke.
He smiled and wagged his tail slightly. "Really?" he asked. He felt slightly special that he was able to help make her feel welcome in the new pack. He felt that it was his duty to her as her new friend to help her settle in and he would as long as he felt necessary. "Well, if you're tired, we could always go back to the dens," he suggested quietly. He wasn't trying to tell her what to do, just make a suggestion about what he thought a wolf should do if they were tired. Sleep seemed to be the sensible thing to him, she didn't have to stay here if she didn't want to.
