Xinal glanced back at her with a look that seemed half hiding, half none of your concern type of look rolled into one. The slice of red in his pupil seemed to be taking over more of the natural sky blue eyes of his. The instant he made eye contact he shifted his eyes away superficially looking like it was a embarrassing moment for him. "Er... it's the old scout's verification that we ensure our route. Although it's kinda pointless now thanks to the reorganization. Force of habit, I guess. Yeah, definitely force of habit." This Xinal smoothly blended truth and lies.

"I'm probably joining black division. I want to get out of the scouting routine." He muttered back, ears still pressed against his head and tail lowered, but nevertheless it sounded like the original Xinal.

------------------

Freya only grinned, "Oh don't worry about me when we get into a fight. I can hold me own." This was one of the few times she was actually feeling happy and good whilst being an alpha. Maybe it was thanks to Daiku's cheerful personality?

As the muttering continued wolves started to organize fall into groups. Within moments the Black, Red, and Blue Divisions would relatively form big clusters with perhaps only a undecided wolves remain. A group of undecided wolves huddle together, the three having their heads low as they discuss eagerly.

Hayumi looked at Xinal's once blue eyes "Your..eyes Xinal, they have red in them." She longed for the comforting blue color that use to swim in his eyes.She half nudged and half nuzzled his shoulder "Something is bothering you Xinal, and your not telling me what." She looked directly at his red and blue eyes, ignoring the fact that everyone was beginning to join their group.

Occ: Sorry guys! I'm late to respond! o_o'

"Oh... erm... let's see um... the red division? No, no, the black; Is there even a black?" Leara was very confused, she didn't understand a thing. Leara decided to think about what she was good at. Erm... hunting! Yes! "I'll go to Freya..." Leara whispered to herself.

"My eyes?" Xinal eyes shifted in an attempt to look at the impossible: the eyes one looks out of. He blinks his eyes from the strain of the absurdity of his goal. "I'll probably need to get that checked." He laughed.

"Something is bothering you Xinal, and your not telling me what."

He glanced down at his paws, his expression nearly unreadable. When he does look up he had a soft smile on his maw and his eyes gentle. "I thank you for caring. Things are about to change. But hey, don't worry about it." His tail flicked itself to one-side as if brushing away something. "Things will be different starting today."

"Well I guess I'd better head off to Daiku. Almost everyone has chosen a division." He stood up to stand on all four of his paws. "I suggest you report to Freya already."

After Xinal nodded his head to bid his leave he went off to the black division.

--------------------------------------

Freya nodded as she took into account who has already gathered around her. "Yes, Kiku. You'd make an excellent scout. Ah! You trio are the best hunters here. Very well." She continued her rounds inspecting the wolves planning to join the division. "Well... you seem better off as a warrior but if you insist on being part of the Red division, we'll see how you do."

She turned her head to glance around and saw Leara approach. "Oh hi there! Leara, right? What role are you planning on having? You seem like a wolf suitable as a scout or huntress." Freya suggested gently.

Hayumi nodded unsurley "Okay, as long as this change is for the best." She stepped back a little before trotting off towards Freya.She looked around for the wolf but it was hard to sort through the massive bundle of wolves she expected to be the black division since they were mostly serious.As she managed to dodge a black divsion male who was bulldozing his way through the crowd she finaly spotted the familar pelt of Freya amungst the others."Oh Freya over here!" She waved her paw about to grab her attention before rushing over to her "I am just here to tell you that I'm thinking of becoming a huntress, how do you think that will suit me?" She asked the Alpha for her thoughts, knowing that she of all wolves should know best.

Leara looked up to face Freya. "Oh, yes! A huntress! That's a great job!" She cried, her face glowing. "I used to be the best hunter in my old pack..." she muttered, and then made her way to Freya, battling the crowds.

Freya nods her head at Leara who nearly instantly agreed. The swarm of wolves seem to be a tad bit more relentless at the moment to the point that even she was being shoved around.

"Geez, this is getting crazy."

She turns her head to spot a waving paw. She was about to make her way to her when she suddenly popped up in front of her from the crowd. She couldn't help but flinch. After shaking her head she nods her head. "Yes your build looks the type and I remember your catch with Xinal. Very impressive." Freya praised.

----------------------

Xinal made his way to Daiku amidst the nearly chaotic crowd that seems to dominate the field at the moment. His air resumed the negative charge once more and the red in his eyes were starting to be more piercing once again. As he trotted forward calmly, he doesn't seemed to be affected by the wolves pushing each other about. In fact the wolves that were pushing were actually quite few The movement just made them seem bigger than they actually were.

"Daiku? I'd like to join the Black Division." He muttered trying to grab Daiku's attention from where he was.

Hayumi smiled and thanked Freya before joining up with the rest of the red division.The wolves were laughing and joking around with eachother, but at the same time not getting to out of control.Hayumi found that soon enough she was joking around with them to, her tail wagging with amusment.

Leara was so happy. In her old pack, she had been the star hunter, training for two whole years. She wagged her tail and waited to see what would happen next.

Hayumi heard Leara being told that she would be a huntress just like Hayumi would be."Leara!Over here!" She directed her packmate kidnly.

Leara heard Hayumi and trotted over to her. "You okay?" Leara smiled when she reached her.

Hayumi was taken a little of gaurd by her question "Yes, of course I'm fine." She laughed and nudged Leara into the crowd of Red Division "Welcome to Red Division, so far everyone has seemed pretty peachy." She wagged her tail happily for a moment.

"Thanks!" Leara smiled. She wagged her tail in excitement. Suddenly she heard a flapping noise behind her. Leara turned her head abruptly. It was the crow again.

Hayumi followed Leara's gaze towards the source of the flapping "A crow?What is doing, do you knoww him?" Hayumi recaled stories of wolves befriending crows, and most pups played with them when they were young anyways.

"You again?" She told the crow. Leara turned to Haymui; "That crow guided me to the plant that healed you!" she cried.
