Casimir snorted at Reverie’s words. Lazy Mutt. Who was she calling a lazy mutt? She had purebred Stock all the way through Switzerland! Her eyes narrowed at the thought. Nor was she lazy. She just happened to be tired. It wasn’t often your owner’s left the city without you.
Dark cinnamon eyes watched the scene unfold before her and she caught a whiff of the Ridgeback’s scent. He was the one that she had smelt all over the park. He’s Tyrant. She pondered slightly, tilting her shaggy head to the side. He didn’t seem too tough like his name… More like a big softy…
She chuckled lightly to herself, but stopped as Reverie’s Dour mood turn itself upside down. A grin had split the mountain dog’s maw and the older dog was a little confused. We’re all city dogs like that? Completely unpredictable?

Reverie grinned, dark gaze darting to the sleeping Valentina. She had always, secretly, thought that she would be jealous if Tyrant claimed a mate. But she wasn't...
Well, maybe a tiny bit. But the jealousy was overwhelmed by an odd, out of place feeling of good will and joy. Reverie's smile broadened as she turned back to Tyrant.
"I take it she said yes?" She asked with a soft chuckle, thick tail swaying. "You-"
Reverie's voice halted mid sentence and she turned her head at the sound of pawsteps. She grunted as Casimir padded into the Hollow, rolling her eyes at Tyrant before trotting round him to Valentina's side.
"Congratulations," She whispered in her friend's rosey ear.
--------
Tyrant frowned, shooting Reverie a confused look as she skirted him, leaving him face to face with a strange mountain dog. Tyrant padded forwards, features bewildered, and dipped his head in greeting to Casimir.
"Er... Hello. I'm Tyrant, Top Dog of this Gang. I take it you've met Reverie..." Tyrant trailed off, glancing over his shoulder. Sometimes, he really didn't understand his easily angered friend.

Casimir mirrored his action, not actually too sure if she should show her respect or not, her features just as puzzled. At least she wasn’t the only confused one in the hollow. “If that’s her name.” She mumbled. Reverie had never actually introduced herself to the mountain dog.
“My name’s Casimir.” She took a small shuffle forward and lowered her voice, a bit worried how he would react. “To tell you the truth…I’m not actually sure what I’m doing here…” Her auds flicked back and her tail drooped. What was this here? A Gang…was that kind of like a family?
||Blah!!! crappy post. Man...Cass is such a Dork.||

Storm watched the others warily. She hadn't slept, and her gold eyes flashed as the mountain dog introduce herself. So, there were others, other dogs, that lived in the streets and thought that gangs meant safety. She sighed and didn't bother to stand up to greet them. It wasn't like she needed to know them personally. She flicked her tail and turned away, hoping no one would notice her.

The scarlet wolf-dog's eyes shot open as she felt her friend's voice in her ear, and scrambled quickly to her feet as she realized Tyrant was up and there was a large new dog entering the Hollow. A few seconds later, Reverie's words finally sunk in and she turned to her friend, smiling widely, velvet ears pinned back. She had never known Reverie and Tyrant's relationship to each other, and had been slightly worried as to how her friend would take her and Tyrant being mates.
Valentina nuzzled her friend's ear happily, then uttered quietly, "Thanks!" She gave her friend an affectionate look as she stayed by her side, and looked back the large femme who called herself Casimir. She appeared slightly confused, and realizing that she must have followed Reverie in, Valentina did not blame her. Her own first meeting with Rev had left the wolf-dog more confused and haughty than she had been in all her encounters with other dogs.
She offered her a reassuring smile, looking to her mate and back. She cocked her head to the side, gently sitting down and regaining her composure. "Pleasure to meet you, Casimir," she said, even though the femme had not been directly speaking to her. Valentina was completely unphazed. "I am Valentina. This is a gang, and if by not sure what I'm doing here you mean you have no where else to go..." She looked to Tyrant, a meaningful look in her icy eyes. "Then I'm sure you could join us."

((Sorry I wasn't active.....))
[glow=navy,2,300]The tall, dark shape stalked into the hollow, indigo eyes flickering over the other dogs. He just now realized a meeting was going on. He sat out of the way of the other canines, face expressionless. He had gotten himself back to normal.[/glow]
[glow=purple,2,300]Next a small vulpine shape slid down the slope. It was the first gang meeting she had witnessed, but she was terrified of Casmir and the others. She paced shyly, not knowing whether to sit with them or the higher-ranking dogs like Tyrant. She waited to be noticed, too shy to speak. Her auds flicked back and forth as she continued to pace stiffly.[/glow]
((Last but not least...Cody!))
[glow=red,2,300]The young cattle dog trotted into the hollow gloomily. What was the point of even coming? He had no friends, and no one even noticed him. He looked at some of the newer faces, Triss's half-brother among them. Espio lifted his head to look at him for a few seconds, then it lowered again. Cody looked around, trying to find a place to settle down. His muscles rippled under his white pelt as he sat and adjusted himself into a comfortable position. He waited for more dogs to arrive, limp brown-white ears perking slightly.[/glow]

The large form of a femme appeared from beyond the bushes and mess of plants. She slowly made her way down the slope and looked over at the gang. White furry auds were pinned to her head as her normally cheerful light honey eyes looked to be a bit sad. She sighed before she made her way to her Lord. "Greetings Lord Tyrant and Lady Valentina!" Her tone was it's regular light and soft self. Large feathery banner wagged behind her as she looked at them both. ---- Powerful paws carried the large form of the brute across the Deserted Woodland that he had once walked upon. Auds were pivot as he caught the voices of his fellow pack mates and some he had never heard before. He slowly made his way through the bushes and down the slope. Sharp talons sunk into the cold earth as he made sure not to slide down. Dark coffee brown optics searched for the lead dog known as his Lord. A small grin spread over the large canine's muzzle as he made his way over to his Lord. "You called Lord Tyrant?" His tone was full of respect as he gave a low bow. ---- Nimble paws made quick use as he ran across the wooded area. The brute didn't even walk down the slope as he jumped and landed on his paws with a 'thud'. His form grew more straight as he raised himself from his crouch landing. He quickly made his way over to Tyrant and stopped beside Sabre. He raised a brow as he watched the large dog bow. He shook his head before he turned light chocolate brown eyes to the brute known as his Lord. "Sir Tyrant, what is this meeting for if I may ask?" His tone was how it always had been, rough and low.

A warm, understanding smile broke upon Tyrant's maw as Casimir spoke, and a soft chuckle was emitted. Reverie! He shook his head. Poor Casimir.
"It is. Excuse her." He said warmly, eyes dancing. "Casimir, as I've said, I'm the Top-" He was cut off by Valentina's smooth voice, and he turned and smiled at her. When she was finished, he turned abck to Cass and nodded.
"Yes, as Valentina said, you'd be welcome to join." He smiled, dipping his head.
Then, a series of questions echoed in his ears, and Tyrant turned to Amaya, Sabre and Leon, laughing.
"Hello," He said, deciding to leave Casimir in Valentina's paws. "I have called you here for a gang meeting. Most dogs seems to be present..." Dark eyes darted around the Hollow, and Tyrant shot a reassuring smile at Trissacar before continuing. "So I think I will begin."
Tyrant dipped his head politely to the three, then turned and bounded to the center of the Hollow. He raised himself up proudly, holding his tail and head high, then released a loud bark, calling for quiet.
"Hello, everyone." He boomed, his voice loud and projected. "I have called you here for a gang meeting." tyrant turned his gaze on Triss.
"First, I would like to announce that the gang has a new shaman, Trissacar." He smiled at Triss, then turned to look at Valentina. "We also have a new Lieutenant, Valentina." He grinned at his mate, eyes twinkling. "She has also, I am proud to announce, accepted my request that she becomes my mate."
He turned his attention from Valentina back to the rest of the gang.
"Last, but not least, I would simply like to welcome all of the newcomers to the gang - inculding my sister Aphrodites, Valentina's brother Laion, and Triss's brother, Espio. Welcome!"
He finished loudly, then lowered his head and turned to trot to Valentina's side. He kissed her crania tenderly, then grinned at Casimir.
"Did you decide to join?" He questioned, tilting his head to the side and already thinking over possible ranks for the large Mountain dog.
ooc: Finished... but still crappeh.

She darted through the lands at break neck speeds of lightning as she made her way as a blur through the vast lands. The snow all around her sparkling in the sunlight. Her paws had gently hit the ground as her speeds were slowing down, and her slender body came to cease. She stood among other dogs all around her, unsure of what to think. Her bright eyes looked all around her, from one face to another. Her ears twitched listening to the voices and words thrown out clearly into the open. She stood there in silent not wanting to just but in. Of course if she had something to say she had no problem blurting it out. Only last time she had done that it cost her the life she once knew, but wanted to live with humans anyway, feel the rush of the race throughout, the cold ice between your toes when your so close, and the barks of so many others right up next to you. She did miss the life, but it was over and this was to be her new home no matter how boring it looked, surviving on her own my not be the smartest thing.
Another husky had come wandering in so gracefully. Her coat pure white as the snow all around her, the ends of her coat dancing in the gentle breeze that blew by. Her soft blue eyes gawked at the others when she had halted right before them looking from one to the other as Lightning had done. Her soft gaze so tender glanced back and over each one listening to the words and tone of their voice. She didn't like to just stand there like she was an idiot. No. Cosha was very clever, only for once she had felt as if she knew nothing and words rambled on through her mind. "Hello" She said in a timid tone, but so tender with a smirk to her face. Her large ears perked, and her tail hung down curved at the end waiting for someone to reply.
Just after Cosha said her little hello yet another seemed to appear. His coat was dark with brown and black mixed in to an almost brindle with black around his eyes. His paws smacked into the ground with a harsh rumble in his throat that faded as he came in sight of others. He didn't what to make of it. "Oh, great" He thought trotting closer and pausing by the others. He knew no one here, knew nothing of this place, and didn't care. He would stay and learn. Things would go just as long as they would keep out of his way. A more hostile dog he was, aggressive mostly, but at time more laid-back. He choose to basically just listen in for if something rather important was to be announced other then what little he knew already.

Casimir felt the frown upon her face as Valentina spoke, unable to help the unconscious expression. It was true, where was she to go? Back to where the master had dropped her off? Hah. She wasn’t that stupid!
She nodded slightly to Valentina’s words, but paused as Tyrant began to address the rest of the dogs. She listened in silence, her dark eyes taking in everything around her. The scent of foxes was heavy in the air, something that threw the herding dog off even more than the wolves. Her eyes fell back to Valentina as the ridgeback addressed her. So she was his mate, it was beginning to make sense now.
Her inner thoughts we’re cut off swiftly as Tyrant turned back to her, and spoke to her. Did you decide to join?
Did she? Was this what she wanted?
Casimir nodded her head slowly, speaking quietly to the Rhodesian. “Yes…If you will have me.”
Yes. This was what she wanted. A new family.

Silently the large, lean form of a wolf came loping in, a disgruntled look on his ink and gold maw as he thought about Reverie snapping at him and bossing around that other dog with no good reason.
He came to the bottom of the slope and halted, lifting his head slowly up to look around at all the dogs in the Hollow. Tyrant, Valentina, Reverie, Triss, and Espio he knew, and he recognized the large femme from earlier who must have followed Reverie in. His crystal eyes darted about, searching for his sister, whom he finally noticed next to Tyrant, with numerous dogs milling around them. Tyrant was smiling and talking to them all, and Valentina was saying something to Reverie.
Then the Lord bounded to the center of the Hollow, issuing a loud bark, and Laion quickly and quietly weaved his way between all the members, flashing Triss a smile and nodding to Espio as he passed. He went behind Reverie and Valentina, and came around to sit on his sisters other side. She stole a glance at him quickly, but her icy eyes seemed to be glued to Tyrant. He, too, looked to the Top Dog, and then felt his half-husky sister nuzzle his shoulder quickly by way of greeting before she straightened herself. The wolf grinned at her and sat down uneasily, flicking his black ears and tail nervously and fidgeting his tan paws, enormous black talons digging into the cold ground as he awaited Tyrant's words.------------------------------------------------------------------ The wolf-dog's warm gaze followed her mate as he took his place in the middle of the Hollow, a hush seeming to fall over the large den, as all eyes turned to him. She couldn't stop beaming, knowing what he was going to announce, but forced her body into a regal posture, head held high and tail wrapped tightly around her rosy hind-quarters to contain it from flailing madly.
She felt her brother creep up next to her, unaware of his presence until his golden arm brushed against her. She saw him lean back ever so slightly to look at Reverie quickly, before he slouched back down next to her grumbling something quietly. She looked at Reverie questioningly, then back to Laion, shrugged and nudged his shoulder with her maw. He smiled at her and she returned her gaze to her mate, as he began to speak.
She smiled brightly at her friend Triss as Tyrant announced her being the new shaman, and motioned with her head for the black fox-dog to step up, as her thick tail slowly uncoiled itself and began thumping the ground subconsciously.
Then she caught Tyrant's gaze as he turned to look at her, and the smile she'd been compressing once again bloomed into a toothy grin. She felt Laion cringe next to her as Tyrant said his name, but then he recovered and lifted his head up, smiling sheepishly. She heard him utter quietly "Congratulations Valentina!" barely loud enough for even her to hear.
Valentina licked her mate's cheek affectionately as he returned to kiss her head, and she was still smiling widely. Her icy eyes roamed around the Hollow to the rest of the members, and noticed three dogs that had just entered, one of them uttering hello. She smiled at her and nodded her head in response. "Hello," she said to the pure white femme, although her eyes trained over the other two as well, notcing that they were all huskies; half of the same blood that coursed through her own veins. Her eyes flicked back to Storm as she remembered the femme who had the same blood as she, then to Espio, thinking of his half and half lines as well.
She cocked her head and turned to face Tyrant. "It looks like we have a few newcomers..." she said quietly, and then her gaze flicked back to Casimir, whom she offered a brilliant smile. "Of course!" she answered her for Tyrant, her playful gaze bouncing back to him as she said this. "It's good to have you then Casimir."

Tyrant smiled at Casimir, dipping his head. He could still feel the caress that Valentina had returned him upon his cheek, and this filled him warmth. He turned his smile upon his mate as she spoke, her words causing him to look up at the three huskies that had entered the Clearing, who had previously been unoticed.
Tyrant got to his feet, once again deciding to leave Valentina alone with Casimir. He would decide the female's rank later. Large paws carried him over to the three outsiders, muscles tense. He did not yet know their intentions upon his lands - uninvited.
"Greetings," The Top Dog rumbled as he neared the three. He smiled at Cosha. She looked friendly.
"May I ask your names and your reasons within my borders?"

The shaman's pinnae pricked forward when her name was mentioned. She ducked her head for the time when dozens of eyes would turn on her. But at Valentina's friendly invitation the vixen leaped forward, realizing the place next to her half wolf friend had been taken by the wolf Laion. Since she was in front of everyone else, she self-consciously trotted behind them, starting to pace, again too shy to speak.
Thinking of how undignified she appeared, she poked her small nose between the lupines' shoulders, trying to squeeze in, for she'd never want to come between the leader and his new mate. But it seemed rude to part the brother and sister, so she sat on Tyrant's other side, shaking as she turned her gaze to the many dogs.
Meanwhile the small but burly Cody watched Espio yawn, the pointed tips of his audits flicking back. With a sigh the young dog turned his attention to Amaya. Crouching as only a herding dog could, the Dalmatian mix weaved through the dogs to her, the first canid he met on these streets. He came by her side casually, sliding down to lay, his right paw crossing over his left arm as he yawned very loudly, trying to gain attention as he was very lonely. Looking into Amaya's oculi briefly, he sensed the sadness in them, too. "Hello," he said as nonchalantly as he could. OOC: Aw...Cody! ^^

Storm gazed at the rest of the newcomers, not impressed. There didn't seem to be any rankks other than Tyrant's, Valentina's and the shaman. She yawned, her ebon tail flicking as she shifted as if to stand. She quietly moved to one side, padding silently to the small fox-dog's side. A reminder of the wild, no matter how distant, was welcome. "Greetings, I am Storme. By your scent, you are half fox. Do you remember anything of the wild?" She noted another fox-dog among the throng, larger than the one who sat beside her.
