"It's okay." Visni murmers, finally she has gotten the guts to take a bit from the female rabbit. Leaning down, she gently nudges the big belly. The canine will not go anywhere near the stomach, she will leave the unborn children. Instead, the creature begins to eat away at the legs and shoulders, a bit of the neck too. Sure, this is hardly a snack let alone a meal, but Visni will make do with what she will eat for now. At the sound of others, she grows tense.
Ears flicking, "A- Alright" The canine stammers, looking down at the female hare who stares back up with glassy, lifeless eyes. A paw gently strays out to close her eyelids, the mother appears peaceful in that moment. Looking to Boans, Visni brushes her face against his side in passing, walking slightly ahead before looking back and awaiting for him to take the lead. While she is not eager to meet the other wolves, the female does have a few questions for this 'Tris'. Perhaps the female would know of taking care of pups? This would be a lovely thought, to atleast have a bit of advice to take with her along the journey.

Boans watched as Visni nudged the female hare, feeling terrible still. As his mate closed the his meal's eyes, he chuckled aloud at her, for she was being so sensitive about the pregnant hare. "Visni, lovely... she's gone. You don't need to give her proper burial. I clearly see that this is off-limits for you know though." he said softly as she passed by him, rubbing her head against his shoulder as they began venturing together to meet Tris. Padding in unison, they came upon a few wolves in a gathering where Tris stood looking quite unhappy as her belly was obviously swelling from her pregnancy. He dipped his muzzle to the others, keeping Visni close by. "Tris, M'Lady. A word?" He said, knowing she was upset, thus him walking upon eggshells around her. He knew that him and Visni had to be careful around her for he sensed something was wrong. He made eye contact with her, but the gentle kind to not damage her.

Tris's back fur bristles along her spine as she is boxed in, thankfully Typhoon removes himself from her face. She realizes dimly that he was meaning comfort, but being touched by so many was making her uncomfortable. In an uncharacteristic way her head whips around hearing a new voice, and then twisting again hearing another...one she knew as a loner. A growl ripples from her throat starting low and growing in regard to the new voice. It was upon seeing another that she stops, the posture and stance of Darcy suggest destitution, depression.
Tris stands now, pointed and edgy, her posture is still but authoritative, commanding and demanding respect even in her present situation. The dredges of sadness drain, replaced with flighty feelings flinging here and there, helter skelter. She's angry, unhappy, elated, many things roiled together. It reflects in her forward tone. "Who are you, depressed here in the Cross Roads. I don't believe I've ever met you." While not rude her tone suggests she's distracting herself, for those who know her may catch her angry aggressive tone.
The reaches of attention are making her dizzy and feel threatened presently, where normally she would only feel loved, and perhaps a little rushed. Her breathing sharpens again, and she looks at Boans, Visni behind him, does she know Visni. Damn it, she's getting confused. "Yes, Boans." her voice is harsher than she intends it and she winces.
She's not forgotten Nebula and Sev, the pair hopefully are patient with her. She turns her head enough to look at Nebula, her eyes are pleading with apology for all of this, her poor new friend will probably wish to leave her. The new feeling is Anxiety, fear of her friend leaving. Please don't let her be abandoned again! Felines are Sharp, the look in Tris's eyes gets wild, as her fears eats into her taxed brain.

Darcy only glanced up at the cross roads alpha. She sensed a high ranking wolf and did a pathetic bow with her head. The blue wolf brought it back up to meet eye contact with her. "I...I am..." it took her a minute, for poor Darcy was still in shock from Onisapher's turn of events. "Darcy," she managed to cough out. The lone wolf did not like cross roads, but as of now, she could care less. Maybe she'd eventually come to like them. Her blue and green gaze drifted to that of the others present. The female did not know, but she grew angry towards males now. She was not lesbian, nor bisexual, but because of recent events, the blue she-wolf did not like males.
Typhoon bowed his head in apology, realizing he made Tris feel uncomfortable. The hunter did not bristle when he saw the blue wolf, but only pulled his black ears back. Still keeping his distance from Tris, Typhoon walked up next to her. He was a part of Cross Roads as well, so he will do his job, even if he is only a hunter.

Boans at first felt a little defensive as she spoke a sort of venom toward him and Visni, but soon calmed as he saw her wince. She had clearly been through a lot, and a pregnancy must take a lot out on the females. He hadn't known, but soon would witness this as Visni was now expecting. "Greetings, Tris. So sorry to disturb you." he said as he lowered his muzzle to her in respect. "This is Visni. She is my mate and I thought that you could perhaps spend some time with her..." he said, pausing for a moment before continuing, as he drew a little closer to her dropping his tone to a whisper, "She's a bit nervous... she is expecting. I thought you'd perhaps be able to sooth her fears." he said, hoping she'd not shoot him down, or his lovely mate at that.

The maned wolf watched Tris, whincing at the words that shot from her muzzle and hit her like ice. A shiver rushes down her spine, causing her lanky frame to give a small shake. Her head and tail drop more than that had before, even then it seemed hard to show the vastly smaller alpha, proper respect. No words are spoken, but there is a quiet admiration, for Visni sees a power that Tris retains. This female commands wolves with ease, yet has the gentle way of a mother. Tris makes Visni uptight and at ease all at once, especially with all these wolves and- something that resembles a cat?
She shakes her head in confusion, staring at Nebula and then to Typhoon. Eyes wandering to Darcy, who appears to be filled with sorrow. What had hurt such a female? Visni yearns to know, but will not ask questions, it's not her place. Shuffling slightly closer to Boans, the end of her tail curls beneath her slightly. Eyes darting from each creature around them, worried about what was going on at the current moment. And then, they rested upon Tris, who Boans was currently speaking to about something.

He is understanding and only shuffles slightly away from Tris, to give her a bit of room to breath. The male will not leave his old friend's side, not for now. Exceedingly silent, he just watches and waits for an order or a spot of conversation to come his way. Looking to Darcy with interest, just like the others, he wonders who had done her wrong. Sifting through her appearance to try and find the core of it, to where the real Darcy lies. Sev has no magic, just the skill of observation. Studying her with keen eyes that try to pick out anything, a twitch, a look, anything that would tell of her situation. There is only pain to the way her eyes are, hurt from the inside and out, as Sev would say.
Looking to Boans, he studies this male and Visni as well. He has seen Boans, but has yet to see a wolf with such mane like Boans' surprise mate. Flicking his ears, the male catches word of the expecting female and only wishes he would congratluate them. But the sensitive side of Sev directs him to do so would be rude for Tris and he quickly shuts his muzzle.
----
Nebula catches Tris' apologetic gaze and only replies with a gentle smile accompanied by another nuzzle. The feline is as loyal as any pack member, gladly staying beside Tris in such a time of need. It's what her brothers would want for her to do, they would stay together, thick and thin. "It's okay." Nebula murmers towards Tris once more, hoping to ease the red wolf's tension.
While she does not know the pain this canine is feeling, nor can she truly understand the scar that this will all leave. Nebula does know she can follow behind Tris until asked to leave, this is a determined thought. Long tail skims over the grass, bugs flee in fear of the furry death. Eyes staring at all these- wolves, these beasts who are both feared and loved. Knowing she is outnumbered, Nebula will tread lightly, and be sure to be aware of just who is around at this point.

Poor Boans...this present state, pressed, full of anxiety, unhappy...the sound of someone cheerfully unaware makes her cringe and grow angry. Would that she could flush she would, only her dark ears get hot for it, and her already heightened breathing turns near to hyperventilation. Her shoulders are still and the furr is standing on end, her thick coat only making it worse. She starts to tremble, aware of being answered by this new wolf, feeeeling her feelings come off her, making things worse. Slowly her teeth bare, thin black lined lips pulling away revealing those white tipped yellowed canines to carnassials (larger back teeth) and a hiss is produced as she sucks in air between the tightly clenched jaws. Now, even a red wolf has roughly a bite pressure of 1500, so this small female can do damage should it come to it. "Enough." It escapes in a hiss through her clenched jaws, her eyes ahead on nothing. Mothers...parenthood...Parenthood. WHISPER. In the space of heart beats her ears are dropped and her eyes are dilated again but her teeth are still bared, she's hunched and flicking her head and gaze to each of them, her jaws unlocking to release her anxiety and anger at last. "WHERE IS WHISPER. WHERE IS MY WHISPER. SO HELP ME GOD, FIND HER." All of hells fury cannot compete with an angry mother wolf, even a surrogate like Tris for Whisper. "DON'T STAND THERE, FIND HER." she roars at her gathered clan, before whipping around to Darcy again and eyeing her with crazy light, her teeth snap with each word as she talks, sounding fevered with Madness. "I don't know why you look as you do Darcy, but so help me" she pauses to breath then continues "Help me find Whisper, and I'll help you best I can." she's not calmed but cooled her tone. Should anyone touch her now they will be hurt, she's been trying to avoid that...but nothing will settle her now. No more words, her eyes flash anger and vengeance, her mate is gone, so help that bastards' soul if he'd taken Whisper with him too. She'd never gotten the details from Sev, but now there was only one thing on her fever washed mind, finding her last piece of intimate family. Yes, the pack was home, and family...but there was /her/ family, which was now Whisper and the young in her belly. God help the soul that hurts this pup...Tris will have blood.

Boans' heart dropped, for this could someday happen to him and Visni, which made his panic for the Alpha even more real and urgent. "I will do my best..." he said as he pushed his snout to the ground and inhales, picking up a scent of a pup. He did not know the pup, Whisper well but he knew that he was on the right track. His tail stuck straight up, hoping he'd bring Whisper back in a short time, yet he knew that he wouldn't without the obvious help of others. His warm gaze met Visni's who most likely was frightened by this episode that was happening. "My love, please stay put. I love you.." he said as he rubbed up against her tenderly as he was then, off. His long legs carried him faster than he had ever gone before, for there was a pack member in trouble... a young one too. "Tris, I am not sure... but I believe I have found something." he said, before he had simply turned heel and began darting through the forest toward the scent of the pup he had picked up moments earlier. *vanishes to Lone Wanderer, for now*

The blue she wolf looked at Tris with a confused look. She had not noticed that the female before her too looked hurt, and Darcy sympathized her for that. With a nod, the blue-she wolf followed Boans scent, not knowing who this "Whisper" pup is. Darcy's ears never raised, neither did her tail. Both stayed drooped down with her hard, cold, sad eyes.
*exits to Lonely Wanderer*
Typhoon perked his ears up at Tris's sudden wanting to find the small pup. With a swift nod, the brown black wolf broke into a sprint, following the scent Boans who seemed to have found a scent. His leathery nose twitched, eager to help his alpha female. She needed to stay strong, and that would be hard for her to do bearing pups. Typhoon would be there for her though, as a friend and as a pack member.

Left now with Visni and Nebula for company she felt less threatened, but still there is some from this other female...one she did not even know...a few thoughts danced in her mind, rather unlike herself. She considered hurting Visni to the point of her loosing those pups, so the threat was not born, then again why not just Cull the mother as well neh? She could blame it on...on..no......she could do no such things, it was not her nature to hurt except for food. Tris is perhaps to passive for her own good.
Her head drops and her ears turn away She turns some to face north, and speaks over her shoulder, not looking at her company, partly in shame, partly in still present anger. "Let's head towards home. I've an announcement to make to the rest of the pack. Nebula..." finally she looks around to the clouded leopard and tries at a smile "I'm sorry for this...if you want to leave...I can't stop you of coarse." though she hopes and prays that the feline will stay, Tris fears haveing done to much harm in her outbursts and reactions.

Sev has darted off in another direction, he believes that perhaps Whisper is closer than those other wolves had thought? And quickly he acts on impulse darting away like Onisapher, Darcy, and Typhoon had. Although he still goes in their general direction, Sev takes to the woods closer by. Shoving his muzzle into bushes and weaving through the trees as he searches for her.
---
Visni is wary of the angered alpha female, being sure to keep her head and tail as low as they could go, she watches Tris begin to move. When the words drift to her ears, the canine is unsure if she should follow. Visni wasn't good with helping calm down strangers, hell, she could't have even calmed down her own friends. Better safe than sorry, she remains still and doesn't make any motion to follow after Tris.
Perhaps she would lay around and think about things, such as her own pups. Pick a few names for them and wait for Boans to get back. Yes, anything but angering the alpha female sounded good.
---
The stocky frame of the feline is quick to be at Tris' side, looking at Tris with brows raised. How could the creature think she'd leave at a time such as this. "Never." Nebula replies with great confidence, slowly beginning to move the way her red colored friend had been going. Nebula didn't think about Visni or even the other wolves who hadn't even introduced themselves. And surely she wasn't going to just leave Tris at a time like this, her brothers would have been upset if she'd done that.
A long tail gently flicks at Tris' muzzle, trying to cheer her friend up in whatever way she can. Looking over her shoulder, giving the wolf a grin, the big cat glows with a cheery demeanor that she's well known for back at her home. Even those eyes dance with somekind of positive gleam. There is a sudden movement as Nebula walks back over to Tris and does what she had done when they had first met. Reclining onto back paws and wrapping her arms around the canine's neck in an awkward embrace. "It's going to be alright." The feline assures once more, feeling that perhaps, she might be right.

She is startled at being hugged again, but it was what she really needed then. With a shudder her closed eyes rimmed in tears and she hugged the feline back. Opening those moist green eyes the tears spill over across her cheeks. "Thank you Sister, I am sorry, again, but please, come with me for I have to tell the rest of the pack." She untangles herself and takes a few steps back so as to not howl right in the Clouded Leopard's ear. Her head lifts and taking in a deep breath lets out a howl as loud as she can, a summons to the main dens. She will do this periodically as she runs, so that most can hear her.
Before going far though, she looks back over her shoulder at the sitting Visni. Her ears fold back, she was terrible towards this female, and it's not Visni's fault that Tris is having a terrible spot right now. She gives a short howl, calling for Visni to come too. Weaved into it is an apology, sorry for her actions and thoughts.

The female's came into Boans' eyesight as he came to a halt after traveling to find them from his recent discovery about the spoken of, Whisper. This Timber Wolf was saddened that he could not return with what he was requested of him but he'd just have to deal with the fact of the matter. "Visni..." he said in a low tone as he came forth from the shadows. His ears forward, he listened as his head hung down low, for he was afraid of Tris's wrath she'd bring to him. "I am sorry... she would not come with me." he said to Tris as his brown eyes settled upon his Alpha's.
