I hope it's cool that I make a cameo! This will be my only post. :)
Like any Alpha—particularly any new, young Alpha concerned with proving herself—Koontz wondered if she'd made the best decision allowing a blind wolf to join her ranks. He had been part of a packaged deal and she had known that if she had turned him away, she would have lost out on the rest of the group as well. Her reasoning for accepting him wasn't purely self-serving, though; she genuinely wanted to give him a chance. More than anything, she really wanted to see, up close and personal, how a disabled wolf survived.
She also wanted to figure out a way to make him useful. As she walked along the borders presently, she wondered about what sort of duties a blind wolf could perform. Obviously, he could not hunt well, nor fight or guard. Yet in losing one sense, surely his others had sharpened, right? Was it a stretch to imagine that Yildun possessed unequaled hearing? Perhaps she could even take it one step further and assume that he was a good listener. If he was—and if he had the right personality for it—she imagined that the blind Sigma might be a great candidate for the Dreamserpent duties.
Of course, she would have to consult with him, get a feel for his personality and his interests. Koontz did want to speak to him—to all of her new recruits—one-on-one. With Yildun, however, she felt hesitant. She wanted to talk about his disability frankly but without offending him. The young Alpha wanted to turn his handicap into a strength that could serve her pack without offending him. She wasn't sure how to approach him about it just yet, so she held back.
When she heard voices in the distance and realized who the two wolves were—Yildun himself and Two Face—Koontz considered showing herself and speaking with them. The hoary yearling stood out of view, listening. Ultimately, she decided not to interrupt their conversation. As much as she wanted to speak with Yildun, she needed to give her pack mates the opportunity to get to know one another and form bonds too. And she still needed time to think about how to speak with him candidly but diplomatically. She wasn't prepared yet, so she moved on in silence, passing by like nothing more than a silvery shadow.
I just hope I can keep you entertained with my writing :-)
Two Face
”Yildun, That’s an interesting name. I like your spots and your eyes are really ….. white” The minute he finished his introduction Two Face felt the worry ebb from his body and return to the raging river of insecurities he kept dammed up in his brain. Two face hadn’t met many wolves with features like Yildun the gray dots that covered various parts of his body were unique, but the thing that stood out were his eyes. Yildun’s eyes were unlike anything Two Face had ever seen before. A wolf with eyes like his had to be very important, and there was something about his stare it was like Yildun wasn’t seeing Two Face even though they were staring right at each other. p>
Two Face was a bit unnerved by Yildun’s stare but he wouldn’t allow the way someone looked to factor in to his opinion of them. Especially not when that someone was the second wolf he had made contact with in his pack. Staring in the direction Yildun had been yelling at Two Face Furrowed his brow in confusion. ” Hey Yildun, what were you yelling at?” Two face looked back at Yildun’s snowy eyes ”and what’s that smell?” Walking closer Two Face tried to see what Yildun was talking to before being interupted.

I’m still not sure if you want to discover what the smell was yourself or what so I have avoided the subject.
Two Face
Two Face’s eyes widened when Yildun said he was blind. Having never met a blind wolf before Two Face didn’t know if there were any special formalities that he should follow, and judging by the sigh Yildun let escape his lips he was sensitive when it came to his eyes. This was the second pack wolf he had encountered and he didn’t want to hurt the soft spoken guy’s feelings by doing anything wrong. He had learned a long time ago that when you didn’t know what to do then do what felt right, and treating Yildun like he treated everybody felt very right to Two Face.
“Wow, I’ve never met a blind wolf before. Does that mean that you can smell better and hear further than other wolves?” Two Face couldn’t help but wonder how much further Yildun was able to hear and smell than a regular everyday wolf. Perhaps he would be an awesome border guard able to smell and hear wolves approaching the territory before they got anywhere near the borders. That would give the pack more than enough time to set up a proper party for any sudden visitors. The thought of Yildun’s sigh when mention of his blindness came up shook any other musings of testing the limits of Yildun’s senses from Two Face’s mind.
“Hey, you know what you don’t need to answer that it was just a stupid question. I’ve been told by others I was born without the ability to control what I say.” Two Face stepped around Yildun and took a look at the smelly thing that had led the silver wolf to this spot to be harassed by the likes of Two Face. “You know your senses are really amazing I didn’t smell anything at all. The only reason I came this way was because I saw an Interesting wolf yelling at nothing, and like always my curiosity got the better of me.” With an excited gleam in his eye Two Face Turned to Yildun “ So Yildun,, would you like me to describe what marvelous thing left you distracted long enough to allow me to sneak up and overwhelm you with my back woods bumpkin wolf style of social etiquette.”

I hope i did a good job describing the meteor
Two Face
Furrowing his brow Two Face walked toward the object that had captured Yildun’s attention. He took a long time examining the curiosity before his eyes; with Yildun unable to see Two Face didn’t know where to start with a description. How would the snowy wolf know what anything he would use to describe the object looked like? Two Face may not have known where to start, but he wanted to help out his pack mate. He would hate to see Yildun’s spirit of adventure dwindle away like a flame in the wind just because he was unable to experience every aspect of his explorations.
” I’m not very good with words, but it looks like a big black rock. It isn’t a normal kind of black though; it seems to absorb the light around it. There are little specks of shining light sprinkled all over the rock; I guess that’s where the light it absorbs is stored.” Two Face looked up from his examination of the rock wondering to himself if there was anything else about the scene he could describe to Yildun. His eyes searched the earth around the strange rock ”The earth around the rock is dented in the rock is nestled in the middle of this indentation. All the grass in the area seems to have been burned by something, not a single blade is still standing. As far as I can see all around this rock is nothing but scorched dead earth.” Two Face sat quietly hoping that he had done a good enough job he stared at yildun waiting for some kind of reply

Two Face
Two Face didn’t realize it but he had started holding his breath as soon as Yildun mentioned a falling star. His mouth was open wide enough to admit as many flies entrance as the world would permit. Hardly registering any words after the mention of an actual star falling to earth, Two Face almost missed Yildun thanking him. ”You’re welcome” Two Face managed to whisper. He took his eyes off Yildun long enough to glance at the fallen star. Something this special definitely needed to be secured; Two Face turned back to his blind pack mate, and tried to erase the awe struck expression from his face. “Yildun, stars don’t just fall from the sky every day. If you are sure that’s what we have, we need to protect it … we probably need to tell Koontz.”
Two Face felt himself getting excited about this fallen star, he knew it was Yildun’s find and of course he would have all the credit, but just being around such a huge occurrence was almost too much for the little wolf to handle. He looked to Yildun who seemed unaffected by the fact that there was a star in front of them. Perhaps the white wolf was used to such strange occurrences, and if that was the case Then Two Face would leave the decision making up to him. ”That’s unless you have any other ideas on what to do.”

just curious if you wanted to keep going im cool with that, or did you wanna just do one more round of posting?
Two Face
Two Face was surprised when the soft spoken Yildun moved to protect the fallen star, but that didn’t stop him from hearing the white wolf out. From the way Yildun spoke it seemed he had more knowledge than Two Face about these sorts of things. He may be young and he may be clumsy, but one thing Two Face never considered himself was stupid, and in his opinion it would be the height of stupidity to take the star from someone who at least had a little knowledge about these things. ” It’s ok Yildun, no need to look so nervous it was just an idea.”
Two Face moved away from the star trying to make his steps as heavy as possible so Yildun could hear what he was doing. ”You found the star, I have no problem keeping it quiet as long as it isn’t going to cause any one to get hurt.” Two Face cocked his head to one side as he examined Yildun. The white wolf didn’t look the same as he did when Two Face first approached him, it was as if the mention of a fallen star had reignited something within Yildun, and Two Face felt that his pack mate could probably use some kind of fire.
”I’m sure you could use some help moving the star after it’s cooled, or I could at least act as look out, so no one comes nosing by wondering what you are pushing.” Two Face sat down and stared at the star between Yildun’s legs ”Maybe while we wait you could tell me more about stars, and how you know so much about them.” Two Face looked in to Yildun’s cloudy eyes and smiled trying to inject as much happiness in to his tone as possible ”if you want to that is.”

OOC: sorry it took so long to reply i need Ebony to show me how to use my new table ... LOL im clueless when it comes to coding
Seeing Yildun relax made Two Face feel good. He hadn't had very much interaction with other pack mates, and Yildun seemed to have really opened up since the conversation started. Two Face walked toward the star and Yildun, he listened as the white wolf spoke about a hidden den that he had close by."Alright! That's fine by me, I don't smell any one else near by so we should probably hurry. I can't wait to hear more about stars!" He stopped in front of Yildun and stared at the treasure from the sky. Two Face was hesitant to touch the fallen star, he was afraid that handling it incorrectly might cause some curse to be placed upon him. Two Face looked at Yildun, his face didn't show any of the doubts Two Face was having. Yildun said he had been immersed in stories about stars since he was young, so it made sense he wouldn't be wary of the star. More and more Two Face felt that leaving the treasure in Yildun's capable paw's was for the best."What do you say I let you do the carrying?" Two Face turned and walked away from the star and Yildun. With every step he took away Two Face felt the unease disperse from his body."I'll take point, and if I run in to any one I'll distract them so you and the star can go by unnoticed." Two Face ran off as quickly as his feet would carry him. He played through scenarios in his mind, rehearsing what he would do if he ran in to any one. After only a few moments Two Face skidded to a stop kicking up a cloud of dust in the process. Panic spread over his features as a shocking realization blossomed in Two Face's mind. He turned and ran back to where the star was kicking himself for his stupidity, he arrived at the location and found Yildun still standing with the fallen star. Two Face stopped in front of Yildun and the star, the panic replaced by an embarrassed expression Two Face stared at Yildun as he allowed himself a minute to catch his breath. He tried to hide the embarrassment from his tone as he spoke, but Two Face was never very good at masking his emotions. "Which way is the den again?"
