[Why Should I Worry?]

[Sapphire]

Cocoa spun around, nodding to Haine and Sukalina, as she padded over next to her friend, Sukalina. "Greetings, Sukalina. I'm glad you came." Cocoa said, smiling as she nodded to her older friend.

"Yeah, Toboe is quite popular around here. He's lucky, though. Nobody has a crush or anything on me. I'm all alone, but Toboe probably has a mate or something by now. It's not fair, most of the time. Sapphire, my sister, was heartbroken twice, and now is a loner. We are both all alone." Takumi said, his head faced to the ground.

Haine grinned and also mock-bowed to Sukalina as she arrived. He liked her, she was good fun, in a sort of calmer way. It was odd, she was just different to the other females, made him feel comfortable.

"Tskkk!" Haine tutted loudly at Takumi. "C'mon Taki, no one likes a misery guts. Spend a little time with me. Put it this way, no one's exactly falling at my feet and you don't see me moaning do you?" He grinned to show he was keeping things lighthearted. "You've gotta get out there, meet some more faes, flirt a little more. Life's too short," Haine prophesized, eyes flickering back to Thorne as if wondering why he hadn't left this little party of DS wolves yet.

[Sapphire]

Takumi smirked, looking up at Haine. "Yeah, you're right. Anyways, I think you might have found a female. What about Cocoa? You know her. She's a pleasant wolf to hang around, but sometimes she is a little headstrong in battles, yet she knows what she is doing. She's used to it. I think you might have found a possible new mate." Takumi said, smiling as he shouldered his new friend.

Cocoa didn't pay any attention to what Takumi had said about her. Her eyes were too fixated on Thorne, then Haine, then Sukalina. So much attention..... yet such little time to understand everything.

[Pokemo~]

Thorne rolled his eyes, shaking his head, an amused smile on his face. 'Oh joy,' he murmered sarcastically, the words falling form his lips as easy as it was for him to sleep. He paused to listen to Haine and Takumi's conversation for a few moments, a smile growing on his face.
'You wouldn't be advertising this Cocoa wolf because you were related to her, would you?' he asked with a small chuckle. He hadn't heard anything about it, it was the way he was talking about Cocoa, like she was so amazing.

'I'm sure she's not all that, else she wouldn't be a wolf,'

Haine's ears flicked boredly and he tilted his head towards Takumi, raising a brow as if to say Are you being serious? Sure, he liked Cocoa a bit, but honestly having her presented to him by her nephew was a bit offputting.

For a sickening moment he had to half-agree with Thorne. He didn't let it show for long, though, for he did not want Cocoa's feelings to get hurt. He'd rather rip Thorne apart than openly agree with him, but the former option was so much more effort.

"Thorne, I'd suggest holding your tongue, you pretentious bastard," he grinned charmingly at the dark wolf. "In case you hadn't noticed, you're not really in a position to be insulting anyone."

[Sapphire]

Takumi shrugged, as he looked at Haine, the look saying,Please, she's very lonely. She only has two brothers left, and she barely sees them. She has no pups, no nothing. Takumi sighed, hoping Haine would notice what he had just tried to say.

Cocoa's fur bristled, as she narrowed her eyes at Thorne. "Hey, I'm not the one who is going crazy with the thought of that Alya that you talked about in the Cave Of Echoes. Anyways, who is Alya? Hmm? Or is she just another figment of imagination in your pitiful little mind?" Cocoa snarled, her chocolate brown orbs full of daggers.

[[Midnight]]

Sukalina's ears twitched in interest. All this talk of Cocoa made her wonder just how lonely she really was if even her little nephew was trying to set her up. She wasn't really concerned about it until the direction of the conversation was apparent. She felt her neck fur bristle just so slightly when Takumi threw her on Haine, her eyes narrowing. Haine wasn't the type you tossed packages in front and expected him to accept.
Besides, I can't ever imagine him with a mate, she thought protectively.
Anybody could call her anger jealousy, but Suka loved to see Haine single. Wild and free. For some reason, being around his happy and flirty banter made her less lonely these days.

And then the conversation took another spin. Sukalina turned her attention back on the mouthy Falling Moon, and this time her fur really bristled.
"Hey, you. You don't know Cocoa, apparently. If she hadn't found out where her true loyalties lie, she'd still be your Alpha, biting your ears off, you fool. She comes from a strong family line, and where do you come from?"
It was apparent that he was an Omega in his pack, just by his measly scent and the way he held himself. That made her snicker at him out loud.
"And what you are but a bunch of dirt to your pack?" she snarled, advancing towards Thorne with her teeth bared. "Falling Moon is full of mongrels!"

[Pokemo~]

'Oh my dear Cocoa, you have no idea who this Alya is, do you?' he sneered with a smirk. If only she knew, if only she couldn understand how much pain Alya could cause her.
Would cause her.

He chuckled menacingly, 'Why's that, you pretentious bastard?' he mocked, his lower lip twitching upwards.

'Where her loyalities lie, or where she can take refuge amongst her pitiful dancing stars play buddies. If she had stayed with us for a moment longer we would of torn her to pieces, limb by limb until she was nothing more than a heap of flesh and bones, on which we would feast!' he licked his lips, a very slight smile curved on his lips, looking Sukalina in the eyes as if to say;

Go on then.

Haine wasn't a very noble wolf, in fact, the thought of fighting other wolves bored him to tears. They always had some retarded motive which blurred their actual fighting skills. In fact, the only time he ever felt the slightest bit worried in a fighting situation was when he was faced with an animal with no morals- bears, cougars, bobcats... you name it.

Which is why, when Thorne acually turned cannibalistic, Haine felt it was probably the time to step in. He didn't snarl or growl or advance a few steps menacingly, no, this disgusting wolf had crossed a line and Haine knew that himself, Cocoa, Takumi and Sukalina weren't going to take it.

He ran at Thorne without a second word and in a blink of the eye he'd jumped, aiming to sink his sharp hardened claws deep into the side of the other wolf when he was staring at Sukalina.

[[Midnight]]

Sukalina felt a rush of air at her side and she turned to watch as Haine charged Thorne. The move sent an adrenaline rush to her veins and so she, too, joined in the brawl, launching herself at the enemy wolf with her full force. It had been a while since she had been in a fight, but the same thrill and bloodlust came naturally sweeping back to her.
She aimed her jaws at Thorne's left front leg, hoping to clamp down on it and prevent him from moving far. Perhaps the rest of their packmates would join in, too.

This is what happens when a fool steps in Dancing Stars' path!

[Sapphire]

"Takumi, stay out of the fight." Cocoa ordered, as she threw herself at Thorne. "Duke and Anevay gave me a chance to stay, but no, I couldn't say with those bloodthirsty idiots. And yeah, by the way you had described Alya, she seemed like a pretty stupid wolf. She probably is a figment of your imagination because you are too sad and lonely to think up anything else." Cocoa snarled at Thorne, as she aimed to jump onto his back.

Takumi let out a growl, but didn't argue. His claws sheathed and unsheathed back and forth, his paws itching for battle. But he knew if he dared to attack, his aunt would get mad at him. And you don't want to get Cocoa mad, or you will regret it, that's for sure.
