Looking as the bear came out rather nervously, I walk a bit towards him, catiously... I look at him closely and see a vine rapped around his forehead, covering his ear a bit, It looked somewhat close to a bandana Space wears... only green..
"Hi..." I start. "My name's Spectrue..." I watch him closely, looking at his brown eyes. They looked shy, very intimidated. I nodded before him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Urctos." I was being very polite and quiet. I looked at him a bit more and made a small, sincere smile, trying to act a bit more benevolent and less serious. I wasn't very hyped about it, but I was at trying to make him feel welcomed. In fact, I felt a little...catious myself around this new bear...But I felt no worries, I just made myself help him feel welcomed the best I could.
I stood back and looked down at the grass and pebbles, and thought for a little bit...I wondered where I would live during the time I was here... I couldn't possibly intrude to live with Niki...After me and him got a few more of my questions answered about living as a bear, then maybe I'd try to think of somewhere to live. Besides...Not very many bears usually stay together in one big sloth as much...Unless the bears themselves are related somehow... But...I'm in no way related...So... I'd probably figure something out when the day ends...

Since it looks like Urctos is a little shy, I think we should take the pressure off him.
"Hhm, don't worry Urctos, we don't bite... well we do... but we won't bite you..."
I turn to the rest of the group.
"We shall head to the salmon run soon. Shall we go now?"
The rest of the bears agree. Ken'ichi and Kamali come over to me.
"Can we ride on your back?" the two of them ask.
"You sure can!" I smile and lower my body. I look over towards Koda and he's getting a ride from Kenai.

"Hhm, don't worry Urctos, we don't bite... well we do... but we won't bite you..." Niki saya to Uctros.
He turns to everyone else and says, "We shall head to the salmon run soon. Shall we go now?"
"OK," I nod. Everyone else agrees.
"Can we ride on your back?" Ken'ichi and Kamali ask Niki.
"You sure can!" Niki smiles and lowers his body. The two cubs hop on.
I look at Koda. He is getting a ride from Kenai. I turn to Kovu and Kia. "Let's see if we can get a ride," I tell them. They nod and walk over to Spectrue.
I pad over to Truttle and sit by him. "Could I ride on your back?" I ask while smiling sweetly.

Ken'ichi stared at the anxious bear, his body crouched a bit to give in a direct look. "See Urctos? They're OK with you, and I think they like you."
Raising his eyes from the ground, he gazed quietly into the cub's. Another warm smile crossed his features, and he said, "C'mon, I'll stay close to you so you won't be alone when getting to know the others, OK?"
The black bear's lips curled in a tiny smile as he lifted his bottom and stood on all fours.
"Hi..." A male bear started "My name's Spectrue..." He was a grey color... strange. Urctos blinked a little as he stared into his eyes.
"Hhm, don't worry Urctos, we don't bite... well we do... but we won't bite you..."
The one named Nikiski turned to face the others and asked something about... the salmon run. Urctos wasn't sure to go or not, but he was not one to complain. He kept his mouth shut and watched as the cubs jumped on the other bear's back happily.

I was about to jump on Niki's back when I glanced back at Urctos, still a little scared of coming along.
I turn to Niki and Kamali, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay behind with Urctos and catch up on old times."
I let Urctos catch up to me and I start padding along with him, "How's that wound holding out?" I ask him as I look at the leaves blocking his right eye where his wound is, "there's nothing to be scared of Urctos, this is a friendly place, you won't be pushed around."
He looks at me, he's still a little scared, "Don't worry, I'll be there for ya, you won't be alone."
I smile at him, assuring him he won't be. Urctos is my first friend I made after my family was murdered, so I'll be there for him no matter what. After all, I bet he's been through so much, probably even more than me.

Looking behind me I see Kovu and Kia poking me in the side.
"Hey, can we rid your back to the salmon run?" The asked politely. Ride? Me? Um... I supposed it wouldn't hurt.
"Uh...Sure, I guess. Hop on.." I said.
They did so, and I got on my back.
"Your fur is so silky soft." Kia said, feeling the silver fur on my back.
"Ah, yea. I've kept myself...um...well cleansed and groomed, I supppose, heh..." Kovu hopped up and down.
"Come on, let's go! The others are starting ahead!" His claws kept poking my shoulders. Kia laughed. Alright, alright, anything to stop his jumping.
"Okay, alright, fine, let's go." I said, begining to walk foward to the others as we headed toward the salmon run, the two laying across my back...

Nikiski
Ken'ichi is about to jump on my back when he glances back at Urctos, "You guys go ahead, I'll stay behind with Urctos and catch up on old times."
I smile and let him do whatever he wants to.
"So Nikiski, how do you like having Ken'ichi as a brother?" Kamali asks.
"Of course I'm enjoying it!" I say with a smile.
"Even with those wounds?" Kamali points at one of those scars on my side.
"Well, yeah, that's what an older brother does eh, helping his little brother get out of trouble." I chuckle.
"You know, you are exactly like Siraki, taking care of the younger ones," Kamali says and I drop my laughing.
"Well... I suppose brothers are alike..." I stare at nowhere.
"He misses you..."
"I miss him too..." I look up at the blue skies ahead...

By all means, I am prepared for a tough battle. But I am totally thrown off guard when the female bows her head low, with a welcoming gesture. She told me simply that I’d be welcome where they were, and in fact they were a new pack. So new? They seemed such close friends, I had figured they were already a pack. However, I keep a stern face. I’m still not sure of these wolves. Was this some sort of trick? The female looked honest enough, as thought she meant it. The male came forward, he looked a bit uncertain. Perhaps my size intimidated him? Then, after he had contemplated, he too bowed his head, welcoming me, introducing himself as Kadzait. He asked for my name in return. Not being much of a talker, I replied simply, not once bowing my head.
“Ohanzee.” My deep voice thrummed through the chill in the night air. I looked casually over to the other female wolf and the pup, making sure I wasn’t being ambushed. Yet, my muscles begin to loosen up, no longer tense. I didn’t feel threatened anymore. I didn’t want to intrude, yet I am fairly curious about this ‘new pack,’ as the first female had called it. Why had they needed to form a new pack? Why were three adult wolves and a little pup on their own? I wondered if they, like myself, had left the pack of their puphood. Yet the female had talked of hardship, at least, that’s what I inferred. Perhaps they had been ousted? It was none of my business, really. But this pack felt different from the one I had been in. Somehow, I felt at home. I placed my words carefully.
“Perhaps I could stay with your pack for a while.” I paused. The male might think it a threat, think I was trying to take command of the pack. In no way did I want him to lash out, so I continued.
“I’m not trying to barge in, mind you.” I say, looking at each wolf in turn, particularly at the male. “I just..would like…” I pause again, “a second chance. With a pack.” Perhaps they wouldn’t want me. I could understand. A large, dark wolf, mysterious in all ways. They might not want to accept a stranger, and I was as strange as they come. However, I waited for their reply, keeping steady eye contact.

After we all finished greeting Urctos. Nikiski turns to us and announces that we should head to the salmon run. We all agree. The cubs ask for rides on most of the backs of the bigger bears. Koda on Kenai. Kovu and Kia on Spectrue. Kirchy pads over and sits next to me.
"Could I ride on your back?" She asks, smiling sweetly.
I look at her kindly and smile. "Sure you can! Just hop on." I lower myself to let her hop on my back. She was a lot lighter than Sioul. So I didn't have trouble carrying her.
While we were heading for the salmon run I thought I would chat with Kerchy a little.
"So Kerchy. Did you know that there is a game the bears have at the salmon run? We toss a salmon tail around and whoever catches it gets to share a story. I love hearing stories from others. Do you have something to share at the Salmon run?"
I was eagerly excited to be able to hear stories from all the new bears that have arrived. What stories would they have to tell?

Nertuark
Talist goes off and greets the wolf. He looks big and strong. I stand beside Sila and Kadzait goes too and greets the wolf. I can hear the wolf introducing himself as Ohanzee.
Sila and I pad forward to introduce ourself. Sila greets first and I tell Ohanzee my name.
"I'm Nertuark, great to meet you!"
I pad towards Ohanzee, rub around his front paw and come back, standing beside Kadzait.
Now Ohanzee looks like he is in real deep thoughts... I wonder what he is thinking about...

Truttle looks at me kindly and smiles, "Sure you can! Just hop on."
He lowers himself and I hop on his back. Everyone started heading in the direction of the salmon run.
Truttle tells me, "So Kerchy. Did you know that there is a game the bears have at the salmon run? We toss a salmon tail around and whoever catches it gets to share a story. I love hearing stories from others. Do you have something to share at the Salmon run?"
I think about this. "I've never played that game before." I think about a story I could tell. I could tell about when I tried to hiberanate by myself after my family died. That was funny. "Yeah, I think I have a story."
I look straight ahead. It was almost winter. Where would I go? Would I have to relive that story? Or would my friends let me stay? I sigh softly.

I am unsure what to think as the new wolf, Ohanzee, he said his name was, introduces himself. He seems very mysterious, and dark. Nertuark seems to take to him quite well, as he goes over and rubs against Ohanzee's front paw. Ohanzee asks if he can stay with our pack for a while, and the fur on my neck rises unintentionally. I can't help but feel protective of our new pack. I don't want to turn him out, I know what his predicament is like. It just seems that now I have a responsibility to protect the pack, and I couldn't go around accepting every wolf who asked. After a moment of thought, I decided I could give Ohanzee the chance. However, the choice is not mine alone, I am only one part of this pack. I turn to Talist and Sila, my green eyes questioning their thoughts on the new wolf joining us.
OOC: dang, I love this font! So cool!

OOC: I'll post seperately with Kamali and Ken'ichi when they are not together.
BIC: (Kamali) I look up into the sky as I ride on Niki's back, I forgot about humid and warm the days can be, and I can feel winter is coming soon. Winter...there's a season that brings back memories...
Ah, I remember when Ken'ichi and I used to ride those ice slides from the mountain all the way to the bottom. Hahaha, Ken'ichi used to get mad when I always get the longer slides, he loved to get the longer ones. He almost fell off a cliff when he picked the wrong one, good thing I saw him or else he wouldn't have been here today. Those were the days...
But...When mother died...things have gotten rather uneasy...Father had gone serious when it came to protect us. We became more strick when it came to wander around the mountain, and father gave me too much responsibilities to maintain, which didn't let me time to spend with Ken'ichi. Poor Ken'ichi...I remember when he begged me to play with him, but I couldn't because of father's overwhelming responsibilities on me...
And when I had to go down the mountain to gather some things, I took Ken'ichi with me. And when the job was done, we played so much, I had enough time to make it up the mountain in time thanks to Ken'ichi for helping. We played so much that day...I loved it when I played with my little brother, he was so full of energy and put up a good fight when wrestling...
But then...they came...I fought with everything I had, trying to protect the bear I treasured the most...Ken'ichi...
But when my energy was getting dim, I had to more strength to keep up. A spear unto my side, an arrow on my shoulder...and to finish me off, a spear into my chest, right into my heart...Forgive me Ken'ichi...that's what I roared out when I was one step away from death...
I buried my face unto Nikiski's back, remembering those painful memories...But when I died, I wasn't about to let Ken'ichi alone. I watched him, looked out for him as a spirit. I reached out my paw to him when he was wounded by the knife, I placed my paw on his shoulder when Nikiski was hit by the spear, I stayed next to him when he was fatally wounded by the arrow on his chest...I never left his side, even after death...
And when Ken'ichi reincarnated me, I was so happy beyond words...I'm happy to get another chance at life, and another chance of being his brother. Heh, this means I can bug him like I used to do.
I raise my head from Nikiski's back, "Hey Nikiski, did you know Ken'ichi had a nickname back then?" I say with a grin.
Nikiski turns his head to me and asks me what was his nickname, "It always used to make him feel uneasy and angry, I used to call him Keni. Even our parents started calling him that." I laugh as I remembered how much it used to bug Ken'ichi, "So now we have a way to bug him, together."

Dragging his paws as he walked, the bear held back from the group by a few feet. He was still unsure about this... Heck, he didn't even know how to catch salmon properly... some sorry example of a bear he was....
"How's that wound holding out?" Urctos jumped, startled but soon relaxed as he saw Ken'ichi's face. Resting a paw on the vine, the cub continued, "there's nothing to be scared of Urctos, this is a friendly place, you won't be pushed around."
A faint glimmer lit up in his brown orbs. "Don't worry, I'll be there for ya, you won't be alone."
Urctos slowly gazed up at the bears ahead of them. "You...really should be up there with them... laughing and talking."

Kamali asks me as he raise his head from the fur on my back, "Hey Nikiski, did you know Ken'ichi had a nickname back then?" He says with a grin.
"Oh really? What was it then?" I ask as I turn my head.
"It always used to make him feel uneasy and angry, I used to call him Keni. Even our parents started calling him that." Kamali laughs, "So now we have a way to bug him, together."
"Alrighty then, let's try it when he comes back to us." I say with a grin.
