You agree to dinner

You agree to dinner
Posted 2022-11-30 06:50:27 (edited)


The group is EXTREMELY talkative. You're unsure why you were intimidated by them in the first place. The two females are small and clumsy, and Ollie is a gentle giant. Their conversation topics are childish and naive. They explain to you that they had decided to go out on a "hunt". They simply tracked an animal until they found where it lived, and then stopped. This seemed rather pointless to you, like puppies at play, but you didn't speak on it. Narny, the cross eyed red wolf, seemed happiest that you were coming along.
After a short while of speaking on mundane topics, you decide to ask about them.
"So does your pack have guests often?"
Narny wags her tail and runs into you. "Oh yes!- sorry- all the time! We meet so many wolves from all over! I've never brought my own guest though."
"What was that?" Spooky barked back, walking just a few feet ahead of you and Narny. "And what about the puppy?"
"That was an accident!" Narny growled. "I thought it was one of our own puppies and you know that. It doesn't count!"
Ollie and Spook giggle together and dismiss the topic.
"So what's your pack like?" Narny asks you.
You explain vaguely the look of your territory, and the way of life. Narnys eyes seem to cross further than before, and you can't tell if she likes the sound of it or not. "Well I'd love to see it!" She yaps at you enthusiastically.



The journey isn't long, and brings you to a long flat field pressed up against the mountains base. There's wolves EVERYWHERE. A soft faced green wolf approaches as you enter the territory. "Kids! You're back! And whos this?"
You state your name and the group explains how they found you. The green wolf introduces herself as Kenge. "The leads aren't here at the moment, they've gone up the hill together for some sort of meeting?" Kenge laughs. "I think they just wanted to have a play date with the leader, he's their friend Yknow." She wags her tail at you gently and continues. "They can't give the tour, but I can if you'd like! I can make sure you didn't hurt yourself in the stumble as well, or you can stick with these chumps."
"HEY!" Narny barked, looking straight past Kenge. "I heard that!"
Kenge laughs again, and looks to you. "Well? My feelings won't be hurt either way!"



"I'll go with them, since we're already acquainted." You state.
Kenge nods in agreement. "They'll treat you good, Narny looks like she's about to burst with excitement!"
You turn to see Narny wagging her tail so hard she's practically falling over. "We'll show you everything!" She barks. "Let's start now! Can we?" Her friends agree and decide Ollie should lead once again.
First he shows you around the entire territory, starting with the hunters den. It's a large pit filled with fresh food and old bones. They tell you to meet them here if you get lost, and move on. Next, he takes you to the the sitters den, then the elders. The wolves are all extremely friendly and happy to meet you. They drop by the herbalist den, where kenge asks if you're having a good time. You nod and she smiles kindly at you. Finally, they circle back to the omegas den. They explain to you that in this pack, omegas like themselves perform a very important role. They serve as guards and give a full look to the pack, even while all hunting parties are away. Spook seems proud of this title.
When they're finally done with their very long tour, they take you to dinner back at the hunters pit. There, you're asked floods of questions about yourself by the entire pack. Though you can barely answer through the mouthfuls of food given to you, the wolves seem happy anyway.
As the sun sets, the trio take you down to the travelers den. It's a very large den for just one wolf, and right by a lake too! They all bid you farewell for the night, and head to their homes.

The Next morning, you're awoken by the sound of a loud thud. "Hello?" You bark. You look around you for any sign of danger, and come to find Narny in the caves entrance. She's flat on her face, as if she's fallen off the top of the den. "Narny? What are you doing here so early? And are you ok?"
Narny stands and shakes herself clean. "I wanted to catch you before you leave!" She yaps. "Do you plan to stay long? Or are you going back home today?"
You pull yourself up to a sit, and think for a moment.

Will you:
Go home
Stay a bit longer

You nod towards Kenge. "I do feel a bit sore" Kenge smiles sweetly at you. "I'll get you fixed right up!" Narny lowers her ears. "Oh, ok, maybe we'll see you later then!"
Kenge steps in "I'm sure you will Narny! Let's get going."
You follow Kenge through the wooded half of the territory and into a small den entrance. The den opens up into a wide space with 2 smaller rooms off of it. "The graver diggers stay there." Kenge states, and points her nose to the room on the right. "And back there is the quarantine room, but don't worry, we haven't had anyone there in a long time."
She walks to the back left side of the cave and gestures to a small patch of dead grass. "Come lay down and show me which paw you hurt." You spin around a few times and rest yourself on the grass. It's not comfortable by any meaning of the word, but it's warmer than the stone and dirt floor. You hold your front left paw out to her. "I slipped on it, it doesn't hurt too bad, probably a small sprain." Kenge presses your paw gently, feeling for any serious breaks. "It seems fine, there's a lot of tension here on the inside, here. On the right. Is that where it hurts?" You nod, and she nods back. "Well it doesn't seem serious. Why don't we get to the showing you around part?" You agree and stand up. She Leads you to the entrance, where she's met by two puppies. The smaller one yips to Kenge. "Kenge Kenge! Raspu got hurt!" Kenge stops and looks at the pups. "He looks fine to me. What happened kids?"
Raspu barks through his sniffles. "My tail hurts so bad Kenge!" She tilts her head at the little wolves and invites them inside. "Sorry, our tour will have to wait. Why don't you wait in the quarantine room? It's nice and cozy in there!" You agree, slightly disappointed to be stuck here any longer, and walk into the small tunnel. It leads into a small round cave, just big enough for two wolves to stand up in. It's slightly darker and cooler than the main cave, and the grass inside is fresh. You sniff the floor and find that it's lined with clover. You huff and plop down on the bedding, waiting patiently for the pups to be finished.




"HEY! Did you fall asleep?" Kenge barks at the entrance. "Can you hear me?" You jump awake and walk out to see what she's barking for. "The pup just wagged his tail too hard, he's fine, just shaken up.  Pups can be so dramatic. It's almost dinner time now, we should get down there!" You nod sleepily and she leads you to the hunters pit. You're greeted warmly by everyone, and they ask you many questions about yourself. The food is delicious, and it doesn't seem like anyone has their own food. They all grab from the same pile, some wolves chewing on the same piece of meat while they talk. Narny, upon smelling you, tackles you in a big fluffy hug. "I missed you! You should stay in the omegas den with me tonight! It's nice and warm!" You nod slowly.
When everyone's finished eating and the crowd begins to clear, Narny bites the fur in your neck and begins pulling you gently. "Come on! It's this way!" She runs off and almost immediately smacks into a tree.
"Oops! Louie is already asleep, I guess I shouldn't be running." She explains. "Follow Spooky, she's going the same way" You look around and spot her, and lead Narny with you carefully until you reach the omegas corner of the territory. The whole area is overgrown with grasses and flowers, and has at least three large cave entrances against the mountains base. There are also smaller dens scattered around the area, and a large crack on the far right side. Spooky ducks into the second largest hole, and you follow with Narny close beside you. The other omegas, unaware that you were coming, rejoice at the sight of you, and pull you into a huddle. You fall asleep comfortably in a big stack of puppy love.

You wake up the next morning in the center of the wolf mound, nobody else is awake yet, and the sun is just starting to come over the horizon.

 
    Will you:
