It had taken some time, but she was finally getting around to understanding the art of 'play.' It delighted her to no end when someone managed to come up with some form of activity that resulted into fun. It had taken a few tries from Tobias, but she had managed to figure out that when he chased her or pounced on her it was all for fun. He would not bite nor scratch at her. Simply swat her hard with his paw or that long spotted tail and she would reply in turn with pounding him with her paw or increasing her size to tackle him to the ground. Every now and then teeth would touch fur, but it was always a light grab. However, each time the teeth were used she would make the game stop experience warning her that those light playful nips and grabs would turn harsher and cause her to get hurt once again. It did not bother her that Nadya would not step in and play. If she did not wish to hunt with her then really Nadya didn't want anything to do with her. The she-wolf was sadden by this, but she was grateful that the panther had decided to at least approve her joining. Yet after this little meeting the young girl knew she had to find the green-eyed were and inform her with her decision, feeling much better that his pack agreed to take her in. The very last thing she wanted was to feel that dreadful feeling of being unwanted. For too long she experienced that and she didn't want to feel those eyes full of hate on her again. It was when Nadya got upset that caused the girl to stop and lower her head, respectfully, making her frame contort into a smaller and lowered stance. It was her innocent question that caused the lupine to feel nervous. Quietly she watched how both felines changed, she could feel the simmering tension building between the two after what she thought was an innocent question. Softly her voice wheedle into their minds with an apologetic tone.

"I didn't mean to cause a problem...I just wanted to know...so I wouldn't mess up."

Well, at least she didn't think she would mess up this badly from asking such an innocent question. Packs needed structure and if she was going to be within a structured environment she needed to learn and understand the rules. Being a part of the pack didn't mean you get to slouch off. Being in a pack meant being a part of a team, working together to accomplish what is necessary which was to simply put it in laments primal terms- survive. They were creatures mixed with beast and human the need to be in a social environment was required and being a part of a pack whether the highest or lowest rank meant you brought some sort of value. She hadn't felt like she could amount to anything or that she was a creature to be valued. She was worth something and what that was she didn't know, but she was well aware that she could be something useful...if she was able to. Keeping her head lowered, not wishing to challenge either one, she took a few steps towards the two her voice steadier.

"There is no reason to fight, I'm not really in...I have to go and ask him first..."

Really she wasn't part of their pack and she didn't necessary have to follow either of them at this point. In fact she wasn't even sure if the offer still stood with Tetradore, the name of the green-eyed panther revealed by her spotted friend. She had yet to speak to him about her decision, but she didn't want to enter the pack by stepping over paws. Although she wished to seek him out she knew full well she couldn't leave these two by themselves. Months ago when Nadya came injured the lupine helped patch her up, but that night she learned about a few painful things. For one these two couldn't be left in the room together without one trying to tear the other up, and she had the ability to feel whatever pain another person felt. It wasn't necessary a power she had liked at first, but it did have its advantages. For one thing she wouldn't have to hear Tobi moan and complain throughout the night as he clutched his knee fully believing that the table attacked him- when he stubbed his toe on the table's leg. Yet with both felines ready to attack one another it only made her feel apprehensive. Folding her ears back warily she gently rubbed her shoulder against Tobi's spotted frame extending her muzzle to his shoulder, nuzzling it gently, attempting to get his focus off of Nadya and on her touch. It would seem she was attempting to use the same tactic Tobi had done on Nadya, the lupine knowing Tobi could be swayed sometimes. Gently her muzzle would travel from his shoulder to his neck, blue-grey eyes holding a subtle plea to Nadya to let her fix this. Keeping her voice calm she attempted to speak her final plea- hoping that both would remember that one night in the warehouse where she received their pain.

"Neither one of you are above the other...you are both Betas...and I am sure you both can work together...if you two tried...but if you two hurt one another...I'll get hurt too."

I'd Rather Feel Pain Then Nothing At All
