A small giggle escaped him and he nodded, agreeing with Steel. "Very true." he said, looking up at the side profile of his face. Xander wagged his tail slightly, not knowing weather he was considered a pup or not. Just to be on the optimistic side, he did so silently accepted the compliment. "I like to explore, and learn new things. Daimond just taught me how to hunt and climb today! It was real fun.." he said, leaving out the gory details of the hare. "But, I don't really know what else TO do here.."

"Ah,you`ll find out.There`s climbing,for one,yeah,then hunting,exploring,even playing,ands then there`s swimming."Steel said cheerfully,begining to swing back around.

Now Xander's tail was wagging faster than ever. Swimming!? Oh how he used to spend day in and day out swimming close to his birth mother in the river. "Really? Swimming!? We should go someday.." he said, pouncing in front of Steel happily. First impressions weren't all that they seemed to be after all.

"We can go everyday,since you seem to like it so much."Steel`s voice was smooth and cool,and he reemerged into the clearing.He sniffed the pups carefully then quickly lost interest and found fun in a floating leaf.Vulpes eyed him with disgust and his lips curled finnaly into a smile.It was a true smile that showed all of his brilliant white teeth.

Xander giggled, watching him in the middle of a short attention span. Steel seemed to be very fun and pup-like to him, but that was all he knew so far. "Cool! Sounds great!" he said, pawing at Steel's tail. "Do you think the pups will like us?"

"Pur-robibly"He said,attention still focused on the leaf.It floated harmlesly to the ground.Steel frowned,and looked at the tree infront of him,somehting gleaming in his eye.Vulpes noted it.His smile faded."Steel,come now..."But Steel wasnt listening.He took a few steps back and ran forward,smacking head first into the tree-trunk.The limbs trembled violently as Steel spun in a circle,dazed.Then leaves began falling by the numbers.Steel shook himself and yiped happily,bouncing up and down.

Xander laughed again but once he rammed his head into the tree, he winced. Just seconds later, he found out why he made this unsmart move, and Xander smiled, leaping up onto his hind legs, batting playfully at the leaves. But once he heard the sternness in Vulpes' voice, he sat back down, just watching and wishing.

"Vulpes,let him have fun."Daimond said,raising and eyebrow.Vulpes gulped,and shrugged."Fine.Dont grow up.Act like a pup the rest of your life.Give a bad example.See where it gets you,Steel.See where it gets you."Steel just nodded."Okay."He smiled and batted the leaves agian.Vulpes sniffed and turned.

Xander backed away from Steel, thinking of what Vulpes had just said. He frowned at Steel and slunk away behind a large rock, laying down for a short rest. "When are we going to back to the Mountain?" he asked, eagerly. He didn't think he could bare to watch the sad sight of Steel any longer. Xander was sure that he meant well though.

Vuleps looked at Daimond worriedly.She rolled her eyes."You!You under estimate me!"She snorted and picked up Hotaru gently,her unhappy squeel sounding.Vulpes was quick to grab Kait,and Steel finnaly gave up his leaves to pick up Kouta,who was seemingly asleep.Daimond flicked her tail,mouth full of fur,for Xander to follow.

Xander silently got up from his resting spot and followed the three adults. As they went, he made silly faces at the small pups, even though they couldn't see. It was kind of funny and entertaining, watching them go limp and look around aimlessly. He tried to walk closer to Steel, who was holding Kouta, making sure that if he were to drop him, Xander would be there to catch him. Hopefully, there wouldn't be any falling leaves.

Vulpes looked aimlesly up at the climb before them.Very well.He started the climb,careufll to keep Kaito up high.His small furry hide had accidently scraped against a stone,and Vulpes heard seomthing in the pups throat that made alarms go off in his brain.It was a rapsing,almost silent noise,but Vulpes recognized it.A newly bron growl.He felt the need to throw Kaito right off the mountain.A fall fromt this high would almost surely kill him.But,he couldnt.He continued onward,Steel and Diamond following behind." You`skeepn`p?"Steel`s voice was strangled and prewtty much undistinguishable.Vulpes rolled his eyes and pulsed ahead,coming up to the top and towards the den Steel and Daimond and Fate slept in.He placed tghe pup down,and Steel did the same,Daimond coming in lastly and nessling into warmth.Steel spoke."I said,YOu keeping up?"Daimond gave a little laugh.

Xander watched him carefully, and climbed up after him, all the nervousness that was inside him, floating off of his shoulders. It was almost night fall, and he yawned quietly to himself. He walked into the den, curling up into a tight ball in the back corner, quickly falling into a light sleep.

Vulpes quickly deperted,llines running across his weary face.Steel nuzzled Diamond before continueing to the back and curling up in shallow nook,his nose in a crack.
