Gareth moved forward, ready to attack at any momeny.

Katherine hissed down at Dominic, knowing exactly what he was doing.

Ansly pouted at him. She was going to bother him extra later!

Dominic ignored Katherine, tensing just as Gareth came into view, his lifemate trailing behind. He relaxed slightly. "Greetings Gareth," he called.

Gareth looked at Ansly, "I don't want you to get hurt sweetie (yes he just said sweetie) just learn to understand that." He nodded, to Dominic, "Greeting as well. Were is your lifemate?"

Katherine jumped out of the tree at that moment landing next to Dominic, she hissed at Dominic one more time, just for good measure before shifting back into her human form, "Hello"

(you have sigie and you stole my fox!)

Ansly pouted really big when Gareth called her sweetie, but she couldn't think of something to say back to him. So she was amazingly quiet. When Katherine jumped down though, she squealed and ran over to the panther-womand and hugged her.

'please try not to be difficult in public..' Dominic muttered mentally to Katherine. He blinked rapidly when Ansly hugged Katherine and just kind of stared, not sure what to do.

(yes b/c fennec foxes are the most adorable things ever!)
Gareth blinked at his lifemate as well, the woman never ceased to amaze him.

Katherine giggled, "Hello, Ansly." she said, hugging the younger girl back. "How are you?" 'I'll behave how I wish to behave Dom.'

Ansly smiled broadly. "I'm good! How about you?" She turned over her shoulder to grin at Gareth's amazed look.

Dominic just twitched.

"Except for the rain pretty good." Katherine said, smirking at Dominic.

Ansly frowned, "Is there something wrong with the rain? I love the rain!" She looked around suddenly realizing that it wasn't raining here. "Hey...where did all the rain go?"

"I just don't like water and so my wonderful lifemate created a shield around us." Katherine said, smiling sweetly at Dominic, almost too sweetly.

Dominic eyed Katherine caustiously. 'don't overdo it, sugar," he grimaced.

Ansly frowned. "But I like dancing in the rain. Don't you think rain is a miricle of Earth too?" she asked innocently.

"It's wet and I nearly drowned as a cub, I don't like it" Katherine said flat. Katherine giggled at Dominic.
Gareth stood their watching not really certain what he should do. So he just watched.

Ansly hugged Katherine again. "Oh no!! But you don't drown in rain do you!?" she asked, not getting the correlation.

"You do not but the memory of the feeling of the water around me translates to the rain as well."

Ansly sighed, not sure how to convice Katherine that rain was amazing. "Um...then can we have snow?" she asked, looking over at Gareth. "can you make snow, I haven't seen it before,"

Gareth performed a short series of hand signs and gentle white flakes begin to drift down are them. Settling all around them. Katherine giggled and shook her head trying to stop the flakes from settling in her thick mane of black hair.

Anly burst out into laughter, expressing her joy. She ran right over to Gareth and gave him a quick hug and then she was off jumping in the air and waving her arms at the snowflakes.

dominic looked over at Gareth seeming to say, 'the things we do for our lifemates...'.

Gareth nodded understandingly to Dominic, understanding the expression all too well. The snow around them slowly began to fall heavier and heavier soon their area was blanketed with a good foot of snow. Katherine, grinning took on her panther shape and rolled in the snow. She then ran over to Dominic and stood up on her hind legs to put her paws against his chest and roared slightly. Gareth kept a watchful eye on Ansly, but there was a slight grin on his face.

Ansly got a mad twinkle in her eyes and scooped up some snow and skipped up to Gareth, tossing a snowball in his face very unexpectedly. She then ran off giggling to hide behind a tree.

Dominic looked at Katherine and understood. He stepped back from her and took on the form of a panther, pushing her lightly off of him. 'Alright, dearest, I understand.'

Gareth followed Ansly scooping up some snow as he went along, he ran around the tree, ready for her to dodge and launched the snowball using his super human speed to help him.

'Good. I love the feeling of snow beneath my paws. Katherine said as she slapped some snow into Dominic's face.

Ansly jumped back but was too slow and got snow splattered over her back. She turned to glare at Gareth and scooped up huge amounts of snow, running straight at him.

Dominc shook the snow off of him, a devious look coming into his eyes. "Oh, now you've done it!" he exclaimed, spraying snow at her. The happy look in Katherine's eyes brought pleasure to him. He was kinda glad she had met Ansly because now Katherine seemed far more accepting of him and like all capathian women, they both had a knack for bringing joy.

Gareth ducked down scooping up his own handful of snow he raced towards her.

Katherine growled and stood up on her hind legs in a challenging movement, as if daring him to wrestle with her.

"RAWWRR!" Ansly screamed, heaping snow on Gareth and tackling him to the ground in the same motion. The pure randomness of her actions was surely the only reason she managed such a feat.

Dominic twitched his whiskers in the panther equivelent of a raised eyebrow. He rose on his hind legs and pushed her, not too rough.

Gareth blinked in surprise, amazed that she had managed to knock him over, Gareth just looked at Ansly in surprise.

Katherine pushed Dominic pack, giggling at him mentally. 'It's fun' she said as way of explanation.

Ansly grinned at Gareth, giggling madly. "I gotcha didn't I!" she exclaimed happily.

Dominic just shook his head and knocked Katherine over. "you're right, it is fun," he teased with a smirk.

Gareth nodded, "That you did lifemate." he said, brushing a strand of Ansly's hair behind her hair.

Katherine quickly got her to her feet and dived at Dominic, knocking him to the side.
