WELCOME TO SM

SPLAT - SPLASH - SPLOOSH! The young pup was not with holding any energy today. He was winded up like a spring loaded toy waiting to burst out in playfulness and any amount of loudness he could summon. And where was a better place to do such a thing than the shallow rocky bed of the Salmon River? The fish themselves where few and far between. But regardless of spawning times Aibel found joy in the simple numbers of the few salmon that had unfortunately lodged themselves in the shallow and slowly drying up - areas of the river.

The pup was soaked to his skin, he didn't bother wasting time to shake off any extra water, he had all these fish! His small paws bounded into the air as he attempted to land on one of them, but the slimy scales sent it flying and his chin falling right into the rocky bed. SPPLLLAASSHHH, once again water rained everywhere and this time he choked slightly as his head went under water. Throwing his head back in sheer joy the young wolf howled a high pitched youthful howl.

Aibel didnt need anyone, he had plenty of fun by himself! Although there was no doubt in his mind that he would be getting a lecture for wandering so far from the others. Things where strict in the pack lately. His coat was soaked, he left the cool water and found fish that where dead on the shore. And he did just what any pup would do! SMELLY FISH ROLL!! "Mmmm!" He sniffed the aged carcass of the fish and rolled back and forth as its scales and rotten smell stuck to him.

ooc: I'm hopin' I can post here with little Kalita...?

Kalita rolled her eyes as she watched her brother splash about in the river. She'd followed him here, not interested so much in playing, but just being around her brother. Either brother was fine, it was her sister that she preferred to be without. So to avoid her sister, she'd followed Aibel. A small smile tugged on her ebony lips as her brother found entertainment in one of the simpler creatures of the wild: fish. Personally, she found them smelly and slimy.

Her small smile twisted into a more disgusted look as her brother rolled on the fish and covered himself with 'essence of dead fish'. Sighing quietly, she trotted toward him, tail barely wagging. "Aibel, you better not come home smellin' like that. You'll stink up the den." she told him, scrunching her nose dramatically. Her pale but deep blue-grey eyes looked over him, and she noted the bits of scales covering her brother's body. She rolled her eyes again, though a small smile graced her features. In an attempted-graceful trot she closed the distance between the main flow of the river and herself. Kalita lowered her head and lapped up the water, her eyes closed with delight.

She loved living here. Despite the faint but still unfamiliar smells of the pack before hers, this was her home. Slowly, she was becoming more and more familiar with it, and with it grew her love for nature itself. It was a pretty thing, and still being young (as much as the little pup hated admitting it) she didn't quite understand there was more to it than the birds chirping and the sun shining. For her, it was a perfect world, save for the rest of the rowdy males of the pack and her sister. But those things could easily be ignored. Like now. All she could think about now was Aibel, his nasty smell, and the river which was the source of the problem. Stupid, smelly fish.

"I dont even smell HALF as bad..." small jaws slipped words through sharp teeth as he sniped the air towards his sister, "as you." Snickering he wiped a smile across his face with a devilish grin returning his undivided attention to the fish body. His roll complete he now had a tasty dirty snack. Ah, just like he loved it.

He stretched, getting bored with the fish with a quickness. "What to do today.." He said aloud, mostly including without having to directly include, his sister. Days like this he hated. Unfortunately, these days where coming more and more. There where hardly any events that the young pups could partake in. Everything seemed to be of adult business. His father was always gone doing something. His mother, although he loved her beyond words - was rather boring.

Despite the inactivity, Aibel happened to be a very active pup. With an overactive mind. "So Kalita.." He announced with a pep in his step - plopping down next to her. "...Lets go check out the pack borders." A simple, fun, troublesome afternoon given to her right on a silver platter.

Kalita's eyes narrowed at his comment. "Says the one covered in rotten fish..." she muttered, but a small smile played on her lips. She didn't doubt he would roll in other things as well, other things that would smell worse than rotten fish. Mother would kill him. And if she didn't, little Kalita would. Kalita didn't see the point of getting dirty, though with her fur color, it looked like she already was. The greys and browns on her sides and tail were much less prominent now but when she was even younger they were a deeper color. That was unbearable.

"So Kalita.." "...Lets go check out the pack borders."

Kalita's eyes narrowed in the slightest. The border? Weren't they not supposed to stray that far, especially without one of their parents? Chianna no doubt would have killed them, but why did she have to know? What their mother didn't know wouldn't kill her, and Kalita's smile widened a bit.

"Alright." she responded in her naturally soft voice. But there was a hint of...what was it, mischief that even surprised her. "But mother and father can't know. You know what they'll do if they find out." Kalita warned, the conscience screaming at her in the back of her mind. But for once in her life, she decided to ignore it completely. A little fun with her brother wasn't going to do any harm, was it? It was quality bonding time, time to enjoy themselves before having to step up and really participate within the pack. These were the days of freedom they had to enjoy, right? They were pups, that was what life was all about! Kalita justified their actions with this, so naturally she had no qualms about going.
