"Oh, it is. I'm sorry, I didn't imagine there would be a vegetarian, but the potage and the salads should do. I will fix another salad for you if you want." She ruffled the rabbit's head fur. Buster inspired her trust, while the poor little dog looked like he was afraid of being hit any minute now. It's not much orthodox, but...milk anyone?"

But ignoring getting an answer he stood up and ran over to the edge of the forest and started examining past the trees. "What do you think is in the forest? Probably something fun. Wanna go?" He asked while turning to the other dogs, he was giving them a cute, friendly 'Please' kind of smile.
Tia got excited at the thought of and adventure. Yeah! Let's do it!
She then ran up to Albert
C'mon slowpoke!
She yelled to Rex

Rex smiled as he stood up and fixed the guitar on his back "I'm coming, I'm coming!" he said as he ran to them.

He smiled at her as she ruffled his head fur. "It shouldn't be a problem, mam. I'm usually a pretty light eater, anyway."

"Milk sounds good."

Rena had waited till the others had said something about the spread before answering Isibel's questions. In response to those questions though she said "I'll just act like I know what "Potage" is and say no, but I will take that cup of milk thank you. Anyways, like I've already said, I've eaten my lunch, and I don't want to over eat and not be able to eat dinner with my ma. She's what you might call... "eccentric" about that kind of thing. Just don't tell anybody I said that." She finished, while taking a seat close to, but not at, the table.

Albert smiled at their responses. "Fun, now let's see what we can find!" He started walking through the trees examining every little detail of their surroundings. "Wow, this place is pretty cool already" Albert walked over to a small tree and checked the trunk for a while. "If it gets cold in the winter time and there is a power out this would be some good firewood, though I doubt they would let us cut it down" Ablert giggled after pointing out something so pointless

"Yes" Rex replied, as he followed Albert "Forests do tend to be beautiful." he looked at the shepherd in front of him "But mind that we only use dead trees for firewood."

Isabel filled five glasses of milk. "Very good. In this case..." She proceeded to fill the plates with the pureed vegetables soup. She added grated parmisan and croutons of italian bread. "Bon appetit, boys."

Sat Nov 19, 2011 2:43 am

She didn't need to tell Buster twice. he grabbed a cup of milk, sat down, and started eating, enjoying every mouthful of the tasty dish.

Leafolawl · Post by **Leafolawl** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 3:08 am

Rena had walked over and grabed a cup of milk and walked back to where she had seated herself, and was about to take a drink of it when Isabel had said 'bon appetit, boys.' She looked up at the human and asked. "When you say 'boys', are you refering only to those who are gonna eat, or the lot of us? 'Cause I happen to be a girl, incase you hadn't noticed. and finished talking for the moment with that. She really hoped it was the first of the ideas, because she really didn't sound like a boy, and really hated being compared to a boy.

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 4:14 am

Isabel smiled at Rena. "I'm afraid I referred to them only, since they are, as you correctly pointed out, having their lunch. I would've gladly said 'boys and girl', otherwise. So, Rena, what does your family do for a living?"

Leafolawl · Post by **Leafolawl** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 5:31 am

"Ah-duh-umm..." Rena had fumbled out as her first response, trying not to sound overly stuned by the question, and clearly failing. After a brief pause to get her words right, she replied properly saying. "M-my ma owns the local book store." While putting her ears down and looking away from the major group, Trying to instill the thought that she didn't want to talk about it, because she didn't. Simply because she wanted friends who wouldn't be all business. "Anyways, don't be sorry about not including me, I'm not eating and you were talking to those who were, no harm done, right?" she said in a last ditch attempt to change the topic right there.

"Oh, that's great! I never seem to have enough books to buy for my son, and what with my job, I need legal texts by the handfuls. Please, tell your mom to visit as soon as she can. I'll be all too happy to be her legal counselor in return for a bargain on purchases. You're such a lucky cat!

better slow down, dont want her to think I'm a slob

valerio · Post by **valerio** » Sat Nov 19, 2011 3:09 pm

"It's good to see someone enjoying so much his food. If you want more, Gage, just ask. So, what do your parents do, if I may ask?"

This kinda reminds me of home, ill be coming back more often.
Tia said.
She then walked next to Albert, keeping up with his pace.

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:13 am

"What was your last home, Tia?" Rex asked

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 11:18 am

Tia remembered the pack of wolves she used to live with.
I'd rather not say.
She then gave a light chuckle.

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 12:06 pm

"Your choice, lass." Rex said with a relaxed smile. He really liked the forest. They were so rare whenever he and his Dad went in the last few years

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 1:15 pm

Tia looked around and saw a patch of beautiful flowers she went over and picked a few of them
I'm sure mom will like these
Tia picked at least a dozen of them.
She then sniffs them, and gives a sigh
This has to have been the most peaceful day I've ever had in my life.
She then saw a Butterfly land on one of the flowers. She watched it for a while.
Wow, that is the most beautiful butterfly I've ever seen... It's also the first butterfly I haven seen my brother eat...

(it's the same brother that played the guitar)

"You're really enjoying yourself, aren't you?" Rex asked, smiling "As far as I could tell, you've either lived too close to a forest or in one." he sighed and said quietly, looking at the trees above them "In any case, you've probably lived better than me - moving from town to town, rarely staying at one place for longer than 3 months, rarely finding a good park, let alone forest."

Tia frowned. She walked over to Rex and gave him a hug
At least you have friends, like me and Albert. That's a plus right?
She continued to hug him.

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:08 pm

Rex blushed as he hugged him. He wasn't used to other pets to hug him, yet he couldn't deny the fact that he was enjoying the hug "You're my first friends, actually. Never had the time to make any friends after the shelter. Mostly because my Dad was forced to move from town to town." the German shepherd smiled "But I like having friends." he hugged her back

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:13 pm

She smiled.
Also yes, I did live in a forest at first.
She continued to hug, then realized something
Hey... where's Albert?

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:29 pm

Rex was about to ask her about her past life, when suddenly her question made his ears to perk up. He looked around and couldn't see the other male. "Indeed, where is he?"

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:33 pm

Where did he go?
She let go of Rex and looked around
Albert? no answer
Albert!!
She started to get worried
How could we have gotten separated.

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:40 pm

"He probably didn't notice we stopped." Rex said with serious expression, then turned and yelled "ALBERT!"
The German shepherd looked back at Tia
"We better look for him."

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:45 pm

Tia sighed
Saw a tree that made two paths up ahead.
Okay, you go left, and I go right, and we meet back here okay?

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:49 pm

Rex nodded "Alright! Who finds him will yell. Good luck!" he said and went through the Right path.

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 3:57 pm

Tia took the left side and walked down the naturally made path.
She looked around for signs of Albert but saw none.
She continued to walk, and saw a giant lake to her right.
Woah... This is pretty cool, but no time for sight seeing! I gotta find Albert!
She ignored the lake and continued down the path.
Man, where could he be?

The Moon Howler · Post by **The Moon Howler** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 4:28 pm

Rex was following the path, looking around for any signs of Albert.
He ended up in a small opening, a field full of red and yellow wild flowers he did not know.
The shepherd stopped for a second and glanced at them. "Beautiful flowers! I might get some for Tia." He thought, but quickly snapped out "No time for this right now, Rex, you have to find that pup Albert!" he muttered to himself.
He quickly crossed the small opening and continued "Where could he be?"

Gage finished chewing his mouthful of turkey and looked up
Dad's working for some contractor over in Blue River, Mom's cousin owns the diner in Blue river so she's waiting tables. We're nothing special I'm afraid.

Albert bent down and was examining a strange flower, he picked it out of the ground to show Tia and Rex "Hey loo-" Albert noticed that he was separated from the rest of the group when he went to show them the flower. "Uh-oh, this is not good." Albert started to look around hoping he didn't stray too far from Tia and Rex, but they were nowhere in sight, "TIA, REX, WHERE ARE YOU?" He yelled as loud as he could but with no answer he decided it was nothing to get worked up over.

He looked around and saw the path he came from, as he started back down the path he noticed a small stream that had clear water in it, he walked over to the stream and took a drink of water. "I wonder where this traces back to?" He silently asked himself, Albert started to walk up the stream to find what was at the end. It took Albert about five minutes to get to the end where he found a small pond, He looked to see if there was any thing in it such as fish or something else, but there was only a few leafs and twigs, with knowing that there was nothing in the water he threw his collar on the closest rock and dove in the pond.

As he was doing a series of swimming techniques he heard a faint sound, Alberts ears perked up when he heard it, he got out of the water and cautiously walked over to see what it might have been. When he got over to a tree he looked past and seen a familiar figure a short ways from him. He started to run over to the figure, as he got closer he realized who it was. "Hey Tia!" He yelled as he was running. Short after he stopped in front of her, dripping wet without a collar he smiled. "Heh, I thought I was going to be lost for quite some time, but at least now I won't have to find a way home alone, that is if you also have no clue where we are"

He slightly chuckled and looked at Tia awaiting a response

He slightly chuckled and looked at Tia awaiting a response

His response was a hard slap to the back of the head
YOU IDIOT! DONT EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!
She growled, then hugged him
I was worried about you.
She then noticed he had no collar
where's your collar?

Aerroxosity · Post by **Aerroxosity** » Sun Nov 20, 2011 9:28 pm

Albert recoiled in pain from the slap on the back of his head, it really did not help he was wet on top of it. He had no time to respond when Tia had hugged him in which he had hugged back. "Sorry, I guess I did not really notice you had stopped for something. But as goes for my collar, I think I set it on a rock or next to it when I went swimming." He was slightly blushing because he was forgetful enough to forget to put his collar back on, his blush quickly faded when he realized that Rex was not with her. "But that's fine for right now, do you know where Rex is?" He asked kind of worried.

He did say to yell when one of us found you, now follow me... But first, put you're collar on!

Albert smiled softly and gave Tia a friendly kiss on the cheek. "That was for scaring you, I really did not mean to." His ears went slightly down before he ran off to the small body of water to find his collar. Once he got there he looked at his collar that was still sitting on the rock he had put it on, he put it back around his neck before running back over to Tia. When he got back over to her he gave a warm smile. "So, lets go to Rex, then we can do whatever afterwards" He gave a small hand gesture for her to lead the way.

Tia blushed very deeply when Albert kissed her
Uh- well... Thank you...
She continued to blush very deeply and led them back down the path she took at first, when she came to the tree, she sat down
Uh, okay, now we just wait for him.
She was still blushing from earlier, she couldn't stop thinking about it.

Aerroxosity · Post by **Aerroxosity** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 12:41 am

Albert sat down next to Tia, he looked over at her and remembered the flower that he had picked earlier. "Oh hey, Tia, look at this!" He pulled out a Globe Thistle flower from his collar, completely undamaged it was perfectly round and striking vibrant blue color. "It's beautiful don't ya think?" He asked completely letting go of his accurate tounge and just speaking the way he liked to. "I picked it up while I was walkin' through a small cove made of trees. he chuckled a little bit and handed the flower to Tia

TensaZangetsu · Post by **TensaZangetsu** » Mon Nov 21, 2011 12:50 am

It's beautiful Albert!
She then hugged him
Thank you!
She then blushed at being so close to Albert, but continued to hug him
