A few weeks passed since he returned his pack,a pack he hasn't seen since he was a mere pup. Now with almost two years of age,Lyric had changed,or at least in a way. But this change was hard,a change that was born from the tragedies that still haunted him from his childhood. But at least he had Twig , Beat and Theory by his side,so he was sure that his mourn would soon pass and he could finally live withut worry. But for now he would allow time to be the one who distracted what his could be. Today the young Lyric was having a casual walk through the plains, without real intentions besides just having his mind clean from trash. Sooner or later he will be an adult, someone with responsibilities, and having this garbage on his thought wouldnt be wise for him. But it was hard to not return to those days, those dark days.  As he walked he shook his head, wanting to wipe out all of the bad thoughts that lingered there. "Speak"

Haiku’s white streaked form raced over the plains, certain that he’d outpaced his siblings. Or maybe he took a wrong turn who could know? Running was so much fun though he didn’t have much care where any of them were, he was filled with the joy of racing. Of extending his gait as far as it could go and running as fast as he could. It was always better with Senryu at his side but even this was bliss. The wind blew through his fur and over his face and he blinked back his eyes. His vision distorted with tears he was going so fast through the grasses that he could barely see above.

His youth or inability to pay full attention, whatever the reason was he didn’t see his cousin Lyric. At least not until it was the very last minute. Haiku’s bright eyes widened in surprise as he tried to put on the brakes, but it was too late. If Lyric didn’t move the young puppy would run right into his right thigh.

He yawned reflecting how tired he was, sleeping was hard now that he was still fighting of his own sadness, a fight of the reality of being alone,with his parents, long gone. He had Twig and Beat but he still felt the absence of parental figures. And that made him some nights being unable to sleep without nightmares or memories of them. There as he was having his time to relax a sudden weight was felt on his thigh like if someone or something was there. Calmly he turned his head and saw a pup there, apparently he run on him,but he was fine. And this was a deja vu in a way as the last time another pup also found her way onto him. Could this one also be from Rhyme's litter? "Hello there little one!" He greeted him smiling at him with warmth. "Are you okay?" He asked hoping the pup didnt got hurt with the blow. "Speech"

Haiku had indeed run into the bigger wolf, but he bounced off just as easily and settled in the sand on his rump. He looked up with big tricolor eyes as Lyric spoke, despite the sadness in his eyes the older boy was all smiles. He had a welcoming tone to his voice that Haiku quite liked. The young boy beamed up at his cousin, ”Hello, big one!” The puppy giggled lightly, his tail wagging happily at his rear. ”Yeah, I’m alright.” He rubbed his shoulder with one paw convincingly. Haiku and Sen were constantly roughhousing, he was fine.

Haiku had just about run himself out too, at this point he was starting to feel a bit tired. His own maw opened to reveal his sharp puppy teeth with a quick yawn. Not that he would ever ever ever admit defeat to a nap.
