Aroro itched at the irritating collar, claws scratching at the plastic that covered the device inside the collar, which would shock him if Vinh thought that he was wandering off too far. So he tended to be staying around the stables for the other Tribe members to hang out or rest in at times, as Vinh had decided that it was her turn to be cleaning it up after seeing it a mess the day before from the batch of 3 younger siblings causing such a mess of it chasing each other around. Boredom was tearing away at his patience slowly, he did not like being forced to hang out in one area for such a long time for no reason.
He had gotten such a scolding from Vinh after spending time with his dad and sister, but he did not have such a clue as to why he was in trouble for being hostile towards them? All he remembered was everything had balanced out after going down to the river for swimming, and as he knew his memory was already poor in remembering everything, he had thought nothing else important happened that would have etched itself into his mind even with his forgetfulness, something such as being hostile towards his family would have been something he'd remember.
Yet he had no memory of such a thing, he couldn't even imagine himself doing such a thing. He much preferred to be alone, though if someone was persistent enough to accompany him regardless, he wouldn't act like he was cornered and needed to defend himself. Much less would he act as such for no reason, even if he was quite upsetted by the fact of his dad not hardly bothering to act as a dad. Even Elsu being an Alpha, he had time for his two pups in the pack and the ones who were not in the pack, taking small time from the pack to visit them at times. It was almost as if Elsu had more time on his paws as an Alpha than when he wasn't an Alpha, and the pack Aroro was in was much bigger than Asher's, though since he knew his dad also had influence over Kuruk's pack also, which gave them a very close stand on how many others they had control over. So he gave no room for excuse on Asher's part, and only the slightest forgiveness he felt towards him was from the small part he remembered of when they were all by the river.
Other than that, he felt as if whatever he might have done that got him in such trouble, had also set the two apart from being in a good family relationship even farther apart. |

Tsuki was in the barn, enjoying a day where the handlers had all gone off with Kuruk, Kodama and Asher as I little dominence trip. That meant that Tsuki had all morning at the very least do do whatever she wanted, which has so far consisted of her playing with Askitaka and Mononoke, tow of Sozin's newest black pups that had taken a liking to the similarly coloured female. She didn't mind in the slightest, as they grew up she tended to consider them similar to kin, like little siblings. She didn't really have any younger siblings that she knew, since Asher continued on to have litters outside the pack and she didn't really know her mother. She had family of course, she had two siblings in other packs that lived within the tribe but that was a ltitle different. One of her brothers had recently gotten so upset over her and Asher hanging out with him that she honestly hadn't aproached him since then. Not that she didn't want to see him, but that she most certainly did not want to upset him any farther. After all, they where family and that meant they weren't suppose to be hurting one another right? She had no idea, to this day, what had offended him so much so she could do nothing but assume it was something she had done and feel the guilt.
Ashitaka and Mononoke raced passed her, out into the sheep feilds where Raakel and the other sheep where once again getting chased around by the once wild toktoa who had been tamed by Sozin's sister, Hazel. It looked as though they where all having a blast, Ashitaka and Mononoke racing around everyone's heels, but Tsuki herself didn't feel inclined to join in. Chasing games weren't really her thing, specially with sheep who had very little as far as brains went. She got up, stretching in the sun rays that always seemed to filter through the barn roof despite the amount of work all the tribe handlers put in to fixing it. She supposed she could go hunting or fishing, but for right now she would settle for just going outside and getting some fresh air. With a yawn she headed out the barn, looking around. Her brilliantly coloured eyes adjusting to the light and taking in ehr surroundings as she scented the air to see who was around at this time. By this time of day usually any toktoa's still around where going to be also without a handler for at least the morning, so anyone would be ptotentially someone she could ahng out with. Catori was off with Puka, she knew, having a little romantic romp through the flower feilds. It was romantic, but Tsuki found such things also rather silly. If she fell in love she had no intentions of acting like a pup. However, she'd have to fall for someone first and so far that was far from happening.

Aroro watched Vinh boredly, laying down on his side before rolling onto his back. Enjoying the coolness of the grass as his handler cleaned out the different areas she found dirty, cleaning some tack while she was at it. Upon her spotting Tsuki who she had missed spotting entirely she glanced towards the silly looking Aroro and back to the black female, completely confused on what she could do to make him scat as to avoid another possible fight. Though she decided against it as she still had the remote to give the half mane a nice shock if he so much as lifted a lip at his sibling. She patted the dark furred female's shoulder she passed, then continued cleaning of the saddle that was covered in dust and other grime that was hardly identifiable as something that was a normal existing thing. Her brown eyes constantly glanced towards the doors of the barn, the remote to the collar out just in case.
Aroro wasn't aware of his sister's approaching presence, only registering the lump of fur that landed on his face with a yap before it clambered up onto his and turned around before laying down facing him. Black fur covering the blue eyes that were underneath the black mess of fur that not laid atop Aroro, inching his way forward slightly as the half mane looked at Svart questioningly only to earn himself a tongue on his nose, covering it in smelly puppy breath slobber. Aroro sneezed and flipped over, pinning the poor Yeti behind him as he rubbed his nose off with a paw. Svart scrambled out from under him, turning and growling at him pitifully.
"Meany!" He said, sticking his tongue out at Aroro before turning and beginning to run before he ran into Tsuki's leg on accident.
Svart looked up at her and wagged his tail before standing back up, "sorry 'bout that!" He apologized before running off back into the barn over to Vinheart for some attention from his Handler.
Aroro looked at his sister in surprise, thinking he would've smelt her scent or noticed her presence standing there earlier before Svart showe dup out of nowhere and ambushed him. Unsure of what to say, he turned his head to look elsewhere, thinking quickly before he greeted her.
"Hey Tsuki," he said with a curt nod.
He could already feel his muscles tensing up at the situation, ready to run over to Vinh as if she would give him safety.

Tsuki had looked over, honestly surprised to see Aroro around at all, much less for him to approach her right now. He hadn't said a single word to her since something had set him off against her, to which she still felt guilty over even if she didn't exactly know what part of it had set him off. She kenw that, just as much as it could have been her, it could have been Asher as well that had set the halfmane off with such agression towards his family. But looking at him now, even with her tail tucked behind her legs and her ears against her skull to show she meant no harm at all, she could see his eyes spoke differently then the last time she had seen him. They seemed, almost like the Aroro she ahd thought she had known before he had gotten so upset, but her body spoke to how she didn't quite trust it just yet.
"Aroro." She said, and though many things filled her mind with what she would have loved to say, at the mment she was so lossed for words that instead his name was all that came out. It was to ahrd to know what to say, to not want to risk offending him more than she already had. She had never wanted to hurt his feelings in the first place, if it indeed had been her fault and not her fathers. Either way, she had been desperate to get a relationship with all her family, more than what she had now, and he was a part of that. A strong part, if she may add. She was the only brother she had that she had gotten to know since all the puppies had found thier homes with new handlers, including ehrself though hers was probably the closest to where they had come from.

Aroro looked at her, thinking over whether he should ask what he had in mind. Though thinking about it just made him irritated, as he always hated the idea of a Tokota having to think of what to say to not tick them off in some way.
"Do you have any idea what happened at the river?" He asked out of curiosity, making no tone to show he knew what had happened or was trying to mock her for being rude towards them, as he had no memory of it.
As he asked it he looked away again, not wanting to make eye contact with his sister so he didn't seem to be trying to intimidate her. He couldn't ask Bristle about it at all, since he was being kept away from leaving Vinheart till it's passed a week. Punishment truly made for him, while most others in the pack would find it just a normal thing to do, hang out around her for endless hours without doing much else unless she wanted to do things. So far as punishment he had been kept away from finding out what really happened, though he couldn't blame Vinheart at all since she was unaware of his confusion to what had happened.
Though Svart was fine company, despite knowing few words as of the moment, and always giving the most smelly of licks of affection to others. The only reason the pup was even out at the moment was because most others were off doing other things with tribe mates or on their own. So he had no help feeling not awkward around his sister, as Vinheart didn't seem to be doing anything about it, though he felt her watching cautiously just in case he acted up. His ears laid on top of his head, keeping his head turned away from Tsuki as he awaited her to think he was joking about not knowing, or actually answer and believe him to not knowing.

Tsuki looked at him, and as he spoke her eyes widened in surprise, not that he could probably see as his gaze turned away from hers. She wondered if that was guilt or shame, or simply trying to make her more comfortable though she highly doubted the last one since so far her brother had not been the type to go out of his way to make others comfortable, and once upon a time she hadn't minded that about him. Of course after everything that happened she-
"How could you ask that? Asher has stopped speaking to me since then and I don't even know what to say myself quite frankly." She said, her voice both surprised and a little upset. After all, what had happened at the river had been on her mind since it happened, since not only had it been sad to watch any attempts of her family being together get ripped apart but it had also been for a reason she had never fully come to answer. He had been having so much fun, they all had. She had thought everything had been going just fine, until he snapped. Of course, she knew that he must have had his reasons but so far she had yet to come up with one. Not one that answered all her questions at least. It was hard, to think such thoughts.
So why he was bringing them up, as fi he didn't remember, was beyond her.

Aroro didn't want to look towards her, but he began to think that with him looking away that he could hide a lie, though he wasn't. Looking at his sister, his emerald/amber eyes looking straight into her amber eyes. He had nothing to lie about in all honesty, he was not one to lie and he did not enjoy being lied to.
"I ask because I have no clue what happened," he replied flatly, no fault in his tone that would show a lie. "I remember going to the river, everything going fine, nothing else. I don't have the best memory in the first place, but I wouldn't forget something as important as driving others away for no reason. So at the moment I have no clue why I am stuck in one place, when the only thing I know about what happened is I did something bad, but I don't know what it was."
By now his tone was practically pleading, he didn't mean to have done such a thing, he remembered it going quite well and he didn't want it to end once it had started. Sure he had been quite grumpy about it before, but once it started he was quite glad he could have time with the part of his family he hadn't spent much time with. Realizing he was acting like a begging puppy, he turned his head away again only this time in embarrassment. He probably seemed like the biggest liar to his sister, yet he was trying to fix whatever he had done and didn't remember.

She listened to him, and while his words made sense ot him for a moment she just couldn't beleive it, even though she knew he wasn't lieing. Something in teh way his gaze held hers mand how steady his voice was assured her slightly, but she just still couldn't beleive it. How could you just forget something like that? She sometimes had longed to forget moments as bad as that one, and instead often found herself losing those easy memotries, the pleasent ones on lazy days where nothing significant happened and yet it was a wonderful day well spent. Those where the memories she forgot no matter how hard she tried nad yet her brother stood before her now and admitted to forgetting somehting as big as his lashing out towards herself and their father. She was speechless really and for moments lasting seemingly forever she could only watch him with a blank gaeze of surprise and down right disbeleif. She was shocked, unsure how to answer. This meant she would never know what upset him, could never ask and try and make things right, but then on the other paw maybe it meant things could go back to the way things where before all this happened. How she craved that, when ehr and her brother got along midly well, sure they hadn't been best friends or anything but they had indeed been able to enjoy one anothers company and she had liked that. She ahd liked having a brother she could talk to, someone who could understand her in a way no one else could. Familt was hard to come by these days, since most pups where taken to new homes as soon as they where weaned from their mothers and checked out by the vet. It would be unreasonable to assume any of her future siblinsg would be any different and they'd never be full siblings, not like Aroro was. SHe could never see her father being with her mother again, despite the fact that sometimes something in her fathers voice made her think that her fatehr wanted to be with her mother even after all this time.
She sighed, finally. She couldn't not tell him, she was not that kind of toktoa. She may not always be talkative but when she spoke she spoke truth adn didn't glaze over the details. She liked that about herself, that others could no they were getting the real version, not the pretty one, but now looking back at her brother she wasn't so sure. Honestly, a large part of her just wanted to glaze right over it and move on in hopes that things would be better. Realistically though teh trith would get out one way or another and he may as well hear it from her.
"We where lauhging nd having fun, Asher jumped in the water and somehting set you off. You stormed away adn when he confronted you to ask that you stand and face the consequences of your actions I- I honestly thought you where going to fight him. You where so angry at him, at us I guess, but you never really said why and you looked so ready to have our throats that honestly Asher didn't meet your challenge and we just left after that. Asher hasn't spoken to me since and I haven;'t spoken to you or him." She said, feeling guilty all of the sudden that she hadn't tried harder to mend things between her family. "I guess I just thought that you needed your space, that I may have upset you somehow and I certinaly didn't want to make things worse. I would never want that, I- I was really happy to have family."

While she looked at him in disbelief, he started thinking back on even bothering with talking to her at all. Thinking it may have ended with a straight up answer from his father rather than sister as she seemed so stunned at his question. Just as he was about to just tell her to go on her merry way and ignore him from then on she finally spoke. He listened without a word, expecting something she was going to say to make some retort to his memory as some kind of lie. Yet when she explained instead, he couldn't understand anything on himself just turning into some bratty pup.
It was then his turn to sit in shock, he didn't expect for it to be that bad. He never expected to ever act in such a way, so with hearing that he had done it, he wanted answers on what could've made him act such a way. There was few times he had such bad memory, usually right after he started a tussle with Bristle or something of the sorts. With that in mind he stood up quickly, looking towards Vinh who wasn't paying him much mind anymore as Svart was keeping her attention.
"Thank you Tsuki for telling me," He said, turning to look back at her with a smile, though his gaze was serious. "I don't know what happened that could have set me off like that, I really don't, but I think I know someone who could. Come on."
He then headed off away from the barn, hoping she would follow as he glanced back quickly before continuing on towards the closest patch of trees where he had seen his piebald friend hanging out around for the past while as Aroro had to wait through the punishment of going nowhere. He didn't care if Vinheart extended his punishment for running off, he wanted the truth and with Tsuki there to hear it. If he waited until he was free from punishment he likely would have never been able to get back to Tsuki to get an answer from Bristle. Feeling that his father would likely not let him come near, even if Aroro was trying to be friendly again.
Making it to the trees he followed the scent of his friend farther in until he could see the light tannish spots on white walking along lazily. Aroro charged and stopped in front of him, head high as he stood over the slouching piebald who looked at him in surprise before sending a glare at the half mane.

Tsuki ndded, padding slongside him. She could tell this was more his quest than her own, since she was simply contest with having things smoothed over, but she accompanied him nonetheless. The area was mingled with so many scents it was hard to know exactly which one he was following but she knew by how his face seemed so focused that they where, in fact, following someone specific. That he had someone he thought would know, oh gosh she hoped it wouldn't be Asher he was thinking of confronting. Her father was not on good terms lately with either of them since that incident, he probably felt so much guilt and frusteration that he lashed out where he should probably be kinder, since Tsuki knew her father wanted to mend things.... He just seemed equally unable to do so. She was cautious, because she was no alpha and that made her hesitant to be going off to challenge one, let along her own father. She was nervous, and though she didn't speak she wanted to make sure he knew what he was doing, that just announcing himseld like this on Asher may not give him the answers he wanted.
That, was, of course till he went and and charged in front of a tokota that was not Asher. Tsuki glanced at the both hf them, missing some sort of context as to whom this was and why he would know what had happened that day. Tsuki recognized his white and tan pelt, sure, but not very well. Only from having seen him around... or maybe was he there when they went fihsing that one day? She wasn't sure but she kind of remembered him being there... She stayed back though, her eyes watched carefully. Aroro was a bold tokota, unlike herself, and she could admire him for that but there was no way she could follow in his paw steps. She was far to timid of that, for to nervous abuot stepping on anyones paws and having them take a disliking to her. Of course she knew such things where unavoidable in life, and that not everyone was always going to like you, but it never seemed to sit well with her so she tried to avoid it as much as possible.
Well, what did she know? Perhapsthis male tokota really did know what happened.
