Jonah McGregory
"Oh my God! You're too cute!"
At this statement Jonah's ears pricked forward with slight interest before pinning themselves back once more. He peeked up at Akitla briefly then looked back down, pawing at the ground. When the she-wolf pawed at him he finally drug his gaze to her's, yet when she licked the dirt off his nose he looked immediately somewhere else, towards the line of trees. He was thankful that very moment he was not in his human form, because if he was his tanned face would be the color of a ripe tomato; as if he was not already embarrassed enough. That's when Tane butted in with a teasing comment, something he should have been expecting. He shot he a pleading look as Akitla went along with it.
"Now, now, Tane. You just gave my surprise away! Wow, next time call spoilers."
Jonah blinked a few times, I-It's okay, I b-bite back. he shot back. It would have been a rather clever remark, that is. . If he did not stutter and mess the whole thing up. He knew Narissa's gaze was on him; he felt it burning a hole straight through to his soul, to be quite honest. When she stepped forward and made her snarky remark about acting like pups his head immediately lowered and he gave a low whimper. The comment was centered towards him, naturally. He felt the urge to defend himself, to tell her that he did not always trip over his own paws when hunting, that it only happened a few times, but he quickly decided against it. Narissa was beta, after all. Jonah knew she had some secret bone with him. It was most likely due to him being quiet and reserved. . Shy. She did not see him as an equal and that he knew; she made it rather obvious.
Jonah's eyes followed Akitla as she moved towards Tane, commenting about the hunt.
Well, I know a good place to hunt up towards the West. It has plenty of rabbits, foxes, deer, and so on. Though i'm sorry I kind of finished off the last Unicorn last night.
His eyes danced with amusement as she went on about unicorns and such. Of course she'd keep the ball rolling. Why not get the beta more upset? Yeah. .Right. Sometimes Jonah wished he had the guts to do that sort of thing, but it was not really in him. He liked keeping the peace and letting things just go. If his pack was happy, he was happy. Maybe that placed him in the category of a "chicken," however, he had a knack for knowing when it was the right time for something and when it was not. If he did not have the whole issue with women and not injuring himself when around them, he'd probably fly under the beta and alpha's radar.
Jonah stretched, shaking out his pelt as his brown eyes traveled towards the sky. It was getting real dark and the wind was picking up fiercely. A large part of him wished Leon would just call off the hunt all together. If only he would voice his opinion. . He didn't pay much mind as Shasta, Alex and Ryker joined the hunting party, attention having strayed to his guitar that laid propped against the large elm tree close to the lake. I really don't want this storm destroying my guitar. . he thought before remembering his wolfish state and the fact the whole pack heard what was only meant to be his secret worry.
His ears flickered, signaling his slight embarrassment as he looked at Myla. At least she might understand his "grief." She came to the lake here and there when he was suppose to be there by himself, strumming the instrument. He let her listen to a few cords once or twice, but was always too paranoid to play a whole song.
Becoming slightly annoyed with this whole hunt, the delta turned his gaze on Leon as the alpha began speaking once again. Shrooms? He looked briefly at Daniel and Tane, having an idea on who was using them all. His chest vibrated with husky laughter. His alpha's next words caught his attention. Men vs. Women hunting parties? Interesting. Jonah glanced at Myla, expression a bit smug, surprisingly, as he fell in step, following after Leon.
Tane
Tane shot a playful glare in Daniel's direction as he began to speak. Right. That wide variety of leprechaun movies. Please- I went and saw a band of leprechauns at this little bar, and there were only like, two other people there. Didn't see you there, did I?
Of course you didn't see me! That was the whole point! I was there though, trust me. Did you talk to them afterwards? I bet not! she joked, watching him carefully.Tane knew once she jumped back Danny would immediately follow suit in their "game." Her tail swayed back and forth as she crouched down, and when he sprung forward she immediately jumped back yet fell short. He had her pinned but quickly rolled off as the splash was heard from Jonah.
A sound which resembled the echo of laughter rumbled deep within Tane's chest in retort to Akitla's spoiler comment. She had already gotten to her feet and was watching the scene with Jonah and Akitla intently. Oops, I'm so sorry! Spoiler alert? she joked, icy blue eyes dancing with amusement. She really did adore her pack- well, most of them, that is. The sound of thunder in the distance instantly caught the slim wolf's attention, making her cringe visibly and hunker down just slightly. Tane detested storms. She absolutely hated them, and pretty much everyone in the pack knew that. Everytime a heavy thunderstorm blew in she was always glued to one or two of her pack-mates' sides. Since becoming close friends with Daniel, more than half of the time it was him who she stayed with. Luckily, Narissa made a comment that snapped the newest sentinel's attention away from the on-coming storm.
Y'know, you could just tell us you love us already, Narissa. Tane teased light-heartedly, holding the beta's gaze momentarily before looking at Akitla who nudged her with her nose. Tane's tail immediately started to wag back and forth slowly, eyes flickering towards the west, in the direction the huntress was talking about. No unicorns? Heck! I'm out. she joked, glancing at the beta to see if she'd stepped on any toes.
Tane watched as Alex appeared, having finally decided to join them then not long after Shasta who was repeatedly called by Alex. She nodded towards them before her gaze moved to Leon who had started speaking.
At the mention of "digging up the shrooms" Tane gave an offly dramatic whimper, moving forward and pawing at the alpha's front paws. But we like the shrooms! she whimpered jokingly, eyes glinting with good humor. Then Leon said it. . Men vs. Women hunt. Right as Danny turned to her, Tane turned to him, ears pricked forward, eyes glazed with mischief. Oh, you're going down, tender foot! she taunted, giving a playful growl at Daniel before turning, following after Myla. She figured that would be the best thing to do, since that she-wolf was a huntress and all. Tane liked the thrill of the hunt but she was awful clumsy. However, she'd never admit that to anyone, especially not Dan even though he probably already knew it.
