"Hello there." Juliet giggled, looking down at them. She licked the one on her leg and began wagging her tail lightly, probably give the bigger male a challenge. "They're certainly not shy, are they?"

"Those two aren't." sunstorm agreed, laying down as the shy female came and nestled herself against her belly. The other five continued to play with their nephews. They were certainly having fun. Meanwhile, the big male hopped up, trying to catch Juliet's tail with his sharp little teeth. The silver-and-black one, however, tried to grab Juliet's snout with his forepaws, tail wagging at the attention.

Juliet allowed him to set his paws on her maw. She also let the male bite on her tail. He would probably be the only male to do that, as well. "They're so adorable." It made her want her own little puppies. But until she found a male that she liked, she'd just have to go without.

The gold and silver male dropped down and ran over to her other paw, trying to climb up her leg and onto her back. Of course he kept falling, but he didn't stop trying. He was so cute. Sun grinned at her granddaughter, amused. "When you get a male of your own, you'll get to have tons of these little things crawling all over you."

Juliet giggled at the little pup. It was adorable to watch him try, at least. "I don't even have a male and they're STILL crawling all over me!" She nodded to the little pup who was trying to climb on to her back.
Suddenly, Starblood whimpered. Mystic looked at him. He didn't seem to want attention. He was just watching all eight of the younger pups play, ears drawn back. It took Mystic a moment to realize that he must be thinking of all of his brothers and sisters. Mystic sighed and pulled him close. "Little one, cheer up." She licked his head. "Don't be sad."

"Yeah!" One of the other females, several shades of beautiful gold like her mother, bounced up and propped her paws on Starblood, eyes dancing. "What's wrong? Why don't you come play with me?" She offered, aiming to nuzzle him under his chin cheerfully. "We'll play hide-and-seek and, and tag and... stuff." She licked his cheek, happy. She didn't understand Star's loss at all. Her mother had been careful to keep her pups away from the other members of the pack.

Starblood smiled a little. This little pup reminded him of Dove. She was always outgoing and cheery. But his ears still remained flat against his skull. "I...I used to have a lot of brothers and sisters too." He didn't want this litter to get hurt as well. Reduced down to a couple of pups. He and Dandre would have to protect them! "I'll play with you." Starblood smiled a bit.
"Grrr! I'll get you!" Dandre told the little pups, baring his fangs playfully.

The little female laughed, stumbling back, tail wagging as she faced him. They'd be best friends! But abruptly, she paused, eyes dancing. "I heard there was a river in the territory! Can we go see it? I wanna see it!" She piped happily, catching the attention of her two energetic brothers. The silver-and-black and silver-and-gold males leapt over, excited themselves now. "There's a river?! Cool!! Let's go see! Let's go see!" The bigger one chirped happily.

"I dunno..." Starblood sat down, mulling over the idea. His mother had taken both him and his brother to it when they were ill. The waters had been refreshing and clean. Engergizing, almost. But it was very rough. Water roared over smooth wet rocks and sent showers of spray up into the air. She told them that they shouldn't come here without her.
"The Rough Rapids isn't a place for little ones." Juliet said firmly. "It could sweep little pups like you away in a heart beat."

All eight of Sunstorm's pups turned and propped themselves against Juliet in all different places. "PLEEEEAAAASSEEE?" They begged, all ears back, eyes wide, tails wagging, all plainly adorable. Just begging her. "You can come with us! You can make sure we're not hurt!" The biggest male begged.

"I don't know...you'd better ask your mother. I don't want to do anything without her consent." Juliet said uncertainly. She'd hate it if she took the pups down there and something were to happen. Sunstorm would never forgive her! "If she says yes, then I'll take you."
"Can we go?" Dandre looked at Mystic.
"Only if your sister goes with you." Mystic answered. She didn't want her pups down there alone.

Sunstorm, having been chatting with Mystic, gave her trusting nod to Juliet. Although the young she-wolf had never had her own pups, she'd watched others' for long enough. Sun trusted her completely. The big male howled in delight and instantly ran in circles, since he wasn't sure in which direction the rapids were. But he couldn't wait to get there!

"Alright. Now stay close to me and don't go too near the river's edge." Juliet said as she began to lead the pups towards the Rough Rapids. Starblood and Dandre followed behind, tails wagging. They were big enough to be trusted near the water's edge. They could finally feel grown up!

The big male leapt forth in front of her, tail wagging, his slightly smaller brother bounding after him. They were obviously a tad too energetic over this. The shy female and the social one kept close to Starblood and Dandre, relaxed. They were patient enough to not really want to go. But since their new friends did, they would. The other four kind of just hustled around Juliet, wagging their tails happily.

"Oy! Stay with me!" Juliet wanted to call out their names but quickly realized they didn't have any. Oy. Hopefully her mother would help Sunstorm think of names soon. She looked at the other pups clustering around her. "You need to be careful in these lands, little ones. If you aren't sure-footed you could fall and hurt yourself." She watched Starblood and Dandre leap over a root with ease. They were adapting well.
