Sleeping, or Hunting?

[Rakashan]

Rakashan was now walking ahead of the group. In front of him he saw dens, and open woods. His eyes were glazed over with tiredness, but his stomach was growling. He glanced back at Twilight and Keverne. "I cannot chose between sleeping and hunting." He stepped next to Keverne, and nipped her ear. "How about you?" He asked. He sat on his haunches and yawned.

OOC; I told you I shouldn't start. =O

[Twilight]

((Ooc: Personally, I think that Keverne should reply to this first. As it would make more sence... *Waits*))

[Keverne]

Keverne yawned widely, an answer in itself. "We just ate, didn't we?" she asked. "Well, I don't know about you, Twilight," the brown-furred wolf added, with a glance at the other wolf. "If you two want to hunt, go ahead. I'm finding somewhere warm to rest and..." Keverne let her voice trail off. Rest and what? she wondered. Just something that went with rest, apparently. She wondered if Rakashan would rest with her. New mates should be together, she thought, but that didn't mean they had to be.

[Twilight]

Twilight just gave a sigh. "I really do not care." She replied softly. "I personally am not that tired, but if you wish to sleep, I will go amuse myself elsewhere." She gave another sigh and turned to Rakashan. "I am guessing that this means it is up to you to decide."

[Rakashan]

Rakashan coughed uncomfortably. "Well, I guess I will be asleep." He glanced at Keverne, then Twilight. "Sorry, Twilight, we can go on a big pack hunt tommorow." He offered. He slowly made his way toward a pre made den. Without thinking, he stepped in. He was suprised to see how large it was in the inside. "Wow." He said. He found that the den was large enough for two wolves to fit comfortably. He looked at Keverne now, eyes gleaming.

[Keverne]

Keverne wagged her tail. "These old dens have been up for a while," she commented, stepping in. "There's nothing soft to sleep on, unless sand counts, but we can find some soft plant life later on." She stepped inside, paws slipping slightly on a small slope--the den was underground, after all. With a sideways look at Rakashan, Keverne curled up comfortably on the sandy ground.

"It only stays up because the whole den-place is dirt," she said. "The wolves from...earlier on...brought in several layers of sand to make it soft. They would clear it out after a moon or two."

[Twilight]

Twilight gave a sigh and shook her head. "That is fine with me. Sleep if you must." She turned her body around, tail slowly swaying from side to side. "I shall leave for now. I will be seeing you later." She slowly walked off, thinking to herself.

Ooc: Sort I know... What am I supposed to do now?

[Chill]

OOC: You can start your own hunting thread...catch something, maybe, and bring it back to eat. Sleeping will have gotten boring by then.

[Rakashan]

Rakashan nodded gently, and spoke. "Alright, Twilight. We shall see you later." He said, smiling. He curled up around Keverne, and sighed. His tail coiled around his backleg, and he yawned quietly. He let his muzzle drop across Keverne's spine, and he laid with his eyes open. "I guess it's the right time to say good night." He murmured, and he blushed. Perhaps he should be giving her some space. Well, he'd find out later. For now he would wait until she said something.

[Keverne]

Keverne moved closer to Rakashan and sighed. "Have a good sleep," she muttered, drifting into a dream...

"I've been waiting for you, Keverne," spoke a deep, hoarse voice. Keverne nearly jumped.

"Kwolenth! What are you doing in my dream?"

The wolf's yellow eyes were the only thing visible as he replied. "I've been sent to you, Keverne. You are the one."

"The one what?"

"Why, my StoneSayer-in-Training, of course."

Keverne's head reeled. StoneSayer-in-Training? No, no, she wasn't ready for that...

"You must come soon, Keverne. Take your time." His eyes glittered; what did he know? "Come when you are ready to...fulfill your duty."

Keverne bolted awake. "Rakashan!" she shouted, startling even herself.

[Rakashan]

Rakashan jumped to his feet. If it were physically possible, he probably would've jumped about 6 feet in the air. His mind did though. "What? What is it?" He asked, eyes darting frantically. What was it? Was there a human? A bear maybe? He continued to search, but he found nothing. He sighed to himself, and sat back down finding nothing out of order. He gave her a brief lick and smiled. "What is it?" He asked, obviously calmer than before.

[Keverne]

"Kwolenth," Keverne whispered. "It was Kwolenth. He--he spoke to me...in my dream. He said...that I should be his StoneSayer-in-Training. Me, Rakashan!" She lowered her head forlornly onto her paws; for all that she should be happy, Keverne was distraught. StoneSayers lived alone but for the Representatives. She couldn't lead that kind of life! "There--there are no other wolves allowed with the StoneSayer," she explained. "And...StoneSayers are not allowed to have a mate. Or...or cubs." There. She had said it. Keverne stood slowly, shakily, turning to face Rakashan. "What am I going to do?"
