A place to belong

[enapay]

The fennec fox pricked up her big ears as she trotted along the dusty trail, listening carefully for any sign of wolves or foxes or... anything. Theft was on a mission to belong somewhere... anywhere. She had to find a pack that would accept her. As she trotted she came across a familiar scent. A scent that she had spent almost her entire life up until now, trying to avoid.
Are they wolves? Or... dogs?
As Theft entered a clearing, she stopped for a moment to catch her breath. Becoming quite thirsty, she began to lap up some of the dew from the grass. It didn't taste very nice, but it would have to do. As the scent of others became quite strong, she flattened her ears to the back of her head in... was it fear? Surely not.
OK. If I can't pluck up the courage to go to the Synl pack, They're going to have to come to me...
Theft began to make little squeaking noises, hoping to alert some of the pack she longed to join.
And now... I wait.

Umm... *Waits for reply...

(OOC: Sorry, I'm the only one accepting people into Synl at the moment, and I've been a tad busy...I have a doctor appointment right now, but I'll do my best to reply tonight or tomorrow.

[enapay]

Don't mind me.

[Sonny]

OOC: Khavie I can take care of this one if you like I'm not busy and I'll be helping out with Synl more now

[Busy Kavs]

(OOC: Sure, I really need the help, thanks:)! Oh, and Kavs' name is spelled Kahvie, not Khavie. Common mistake though, since it's and odd name and all ;D)

OOC: Sorry I knew I spelt it wrong but couldn't remember the right way to spell it.

The borzoi known as Sonny had caught an unfamiliar scent on the wind one he could not quite identify, it smelt like a fox but not the type he was used to. He wrinkled his nose as he sniffed the air again trying to get a good whiff, definitely a fox. The scent lead him to a dusty trail which he immediately began to follow the scent was strong here.

Continuing down the trail the scent got stronger and stronger, suddenly he heard something and decided he was close, he could already see the fox in a clearing not too far away and quickened his pace. He was now almost running but slowed down when he was almost there and walked into the clearing with his tongue out, he was panting and rather tired now. He let out a bark at the fox to announce he was there and then sat down for a moment to catch his breath and decided to let the fox come to him. They were timid creatures and he didn't want to seen too threatening.

He wagged his tail hoping the fox would take it as a sign that he was friendly, the alpha really wanted to meet this fox that was unlike the one's he knew of, he particularly wanted to ask it what kind of fox it was. He sat watching and waiting for the fox to respond to him.

[enapay]

OOC: Coolness!!!
Theft looked at the borzoi male in iintrest. Was he a member of the Synl pack? Would he let her join? Theft could only hope. And pray. All she had ever wanted was a place to belong.
She began to walk towards him, pausing every now and then. Hesitating. Maybe this isn't such a good idea. He seemed friendly... but then again, so did those two Sallin members that killed her parents.
Throwing caution to the wind, Theft walked right up to the borzoi and sat next to him.
"Hi. My name's Theft. Your's?"
All Theft could do was wait. She pricked up her huge ears and waited for a reply.
Hoping... wishing... praying.

[Sonny]

He looked over at the fox who had come up to sit with him and smiled, well he hadn't scared her off at least.

"Hello Theft, I am Sonny and I'm an alpha of this pack land." he said.

He then looked down at his feet and decided to ask his second question.

"Excuse me for asking but, what kind of fox are you?" he asked, "As for me I'm a borzoi dog".

Sonny smiled and lifted his head again, how strange a fox talking with dogs when dogs were used to hunt them down sometimes, he'd never seen it happen but he'd been told about it and once heard the horn. It must be terrible, to be hunted down and killed that way being ripped apart while your still alive, he thought.

No wonder foxes were so timid, still wolves were killed sometimes too and dogs, he shuddered. But being a worry wart was not in Sonny's nature, life was a party and everyone was invited, of coarse there were their enemies who could be considered drunks and be thrown out of the party.

OOC: Sorry it's short I'm busy

[enapay]

"Hello Theft, I am Sonny and I'm an alpha of this pack land."
Oh good, thought the little fox. She was so much smaller than him, but at least he seemed friendly. And an alpha... maybe this was her lucky day.
"Excuse me for asking but, what kind of fox are you? As for me I'm a borzoi dog".
A dog... Theft's mother and father had always told her to keep watch for dogs. Stay away from them. But this was important.
"I... I'm a fennec fox. We're native around Egypt, but my parents snuck onto a boat that came here and... well... here I am."
She waved her black-tipped tail and looked up at him with her shining green and blue eyes. She seemed to be getting more comfortable around Sonny.
Maybe they were wrong about dogs...
"I just came..." She hesitated.
Would they want me?
"I came to look for a pack. I need somewhere to belong. I feel so lonely most of the time. My parents were killed by Sallin. So I'm on my own."

[Sonny]

OOC: Sorry about the short reply, no idea what to write
BIC:
Sonny sighed "Sallin are creul, we're enemys of them, I never heard of a fox joining a pack, are you thinking of joining in here?" he asked wondering what the other members would think.

They'd probarbly be very kind and sweet, he loved that fact they were accepting and just hoped they'd see a fox as no different. He looked at Theft, Egypt? That sounded far away he had heard of it but nothing too much, sand and heat.

No wonder this fox had big ears and short fur, phew it must get really hot there, he thought. As for himself he was born in the area and so his type had adjusted to it, he yawned and decided he might rest a little longer even if Theft wanted to go stay with the pack, he had been running a bit at full speed.

[enapay]

OOC: I don't blame you... I'm stuck too.
BIC: "Sallin are cruel, we're enemys of them, I never heard of a fox joining a pack, are you thinking of joining in here?"
"Maybe... If I'm wanted. I could be a scout, or... anything. I just don't want to be alone anymore."
Theft saw Sonny's thoughtful expression at the mention of Egypt. Had he not heard of it before?
"Egypt... It's across the sea. In Africa. It's really hot, but seeing as I was born here, I'm used to the cold."
She looked down at her front legs, her gold coloured bangles shining brightly in the early morning sunlight.
If the pack was as nice as Sonny was, maybe she would have a chance to join.
"As for Sallin... I've spent almost my entire life trying to avoid them. They killed my parents and left me to die. I could never forgive anyone for that."

[Sonny]

OOC: Once again, short
BIC:
He nodded understanding "It'll be alright here, are you sure being a scout is what you want? That duty could involve Sallin? I don't want to put you in danger like that they might just recognize you" he warned.

Sonny honestly didn't know exactly how much a fox could do for a pack, I mean a Scout was probably perfect due to their small size they could hide well. But it would mean she would be risking her life, he decided if that was what she wanted that would be what she'd get but felt it his duty to warn her about a Scouts duty's.

He smiled at her though, Sonny couldn't help his smiles he was just happy, life was a party and it was too short to be sad all the time. He looked at her concern in his eyes, He was however glad she was brave enough to join a pack with no other foxes.

[enapay]

"It'll be alright here, are you sure being a scout is what you want? That duty could involve Sallin? I don't want to put you in danger like that they might just recognize you"
Involving Sallin? That was something she didn't want, and she appreciated the fact that he told her rather than leading her into the usually dangerous unknown.
"What would a fox be able to do in your pack? I'm good at stealing things. I've been stealing from Rakine for most of my life."

OOC: Short but sweet...

[Sonny]

Sonny nodded understanding, "I have had to steal in the past too, but if we can get by without it I'd rather not do it, all it does is cause problems. If you like you can come back with me and I'll introduce you and you can have more time to decide. Best not rush into things yet" he said.

He was glad he was getting on fairly well with Theft, infact he was glad to be able to get on well with a fox he had no idea if they'd even come close to a large dog, they were naturally enemies, well the pet dogs were anyway. This might just be interesting to get the pack to control themselves if any of them had been fox hunters, he knew sometimes dogs came along who had been abandoned or got away from humans.

Then an idea hit him "What about a messenger? You are fast on your feet aren't you? and I assume would do alright traveling" he said trying to think of something Theft could do that wouldn't involve fighting against larger canines or risking her life.
