Dawn of Hope - Folician Chronicles 7

Chapter 10 - Advancement towards the trials

Ray and Gentle had been kept up to date as best possible and that include Hands being sent to help Toes, *Gentle I think it might be a good time for another interview. I am going to have Nose come over and do another one. This time I want your pups as well as Flitter's with us. We can have Vyra and Gerdal as well.* He was figuring the more they could make most of Pack Zorg look like innocents the better.

Gentle was nursing Butterfly currently and considered what he had to say, *It is hard to admit that most are innocent but you are right. It would be like defining my former pack based on the actions of my Dame. It would be wrong. Mind you I still want to rip the hide off someone but that is a very good idea. Set it up and we will go with it. Even better do it in the Den and have much of the pack there.*

Ray had to tug on his whiskers and then grimaced, "I am so not used to having this type of whiskers. I have to admit it is nice not to have to worry about shaving through." After shaking his head, he contacted Nose and then the pack and set things in motion, "Since it is close to a meal time I am going to do a meal and let them see us relaxing as best possible. If it works out I will have Toes contact us and maybe do something from there."

Gentle leaned over and nuzzled his hair as she kept feeding Flitter's baby, "Sounds good and that is a very good idea. With Hands and his pack helping Toes we won't have to involve him." She really wasn't sure since she didn't know the dynamic of the other pack other than it was damaged. Gentle was still very upset with that pack but she was trying to keep it under control.

Ray leaned into the nuzzle before turning and pressing his muzzle against hers and giving her a soft kiss, "Love you lady. I will be back soon." He stood and went to take care of some things.

When Nose arrived at the property one of the pack showed her to the Den. When they walked in she had to stop, as best she could tell all the pack and pups were there. She gave Ray an odd look, "You had said you wanted to an interview?" It was obvious she was feeling rather confused.

Ray stood up and walked over. In his arm was Linc who was sleeping. After giving her a one-armed hug he grinned at her, "I did and I do. We decided a family meal and then an interview would be the best way to do it." He glanced at the camera woman, "Please feel free to film what you wish. All the women have agreed to be filmed." He kept his arm around Nose and led her towards the table he had been sitting at, "We are having a dish from earth which everyone seems to enjoy. Hands made it at one point and it went over quite well."

Dusty snorted at him, "Considering every time it is made it is the first dish finished I would say it went over beyond quite well. She leaned against Gerdal as she was speaking. One hand was playing with her mating necklace. He had asked her not long ago and she had been so pleased. They hadn't made a huge deal out of his asking but it had gotten around. All the females had quietly congratulated them. It had also given the pack more stability, which they still needed. It was far better than when Ray had initially arrived but they were still dealing with a few side effects.

Gerdal was holding her baby and he was smiling, "It is some very good food, I know I love it. I try to avoid it since I don't want to get fat and lose my manly figure." He grunted slightly when Dusty gently elbowed him in the side.

Ray rolled his eyes at them, "Ignore the lovebirds. Gerdal just recently asked Dusty to be his mate. They have been all gooey and mushy for the last couple days." He ended up grunting as well since Gentle elbowed him as well, "Not feeling the love woman. Just remember I have a box of dog bones now." He had sent for a small box just to tease the females.
