Ajax almost laughed at Fea's antics, but the seriousness of his situation forced him to keep a straight face. Without thinking, he pulled Brooke into his embrace and just hugged her for a while. He'd been wanting to do this for so long... she looked so in need of a hug, even by his not so great with humans judgment. Fea started to trot off, leaving the pair alone. After a minute, Ajax pulled back, wondering if Brooke wanted more. Should they kiss after knowing each other only a week? He gazed into her longing eyes uncertainly. With Mari everything had felt so natural. But this... he wanted it, but he didn't know how to... He knew he loved Brooke with a deep part of his heart. But he didn't know why.

Brooke felt his want as much as she felt hers. He seemed scared...nervous to kiss her. She was still dazed from the wonderful hug, but she knew what she was going to do...even if they had only known each other a week. She put her hand on the back of his head and kissed him full on the lips. She pulled back reluctantly and slowly and opened her eyes to look at him. 'What will he do next....will he kiss me back....or walk away....' she wondered nervously, waiting.

Ajax hesitated, not sure whether to go forward or move back. Then, swiftly, he bent down and kissed her back passionately.

Brooke slowly snaked her tongue out and pushed on his lips. He opened his mouth a bit and she moved her tongue into his mouth.

((ew!)) Ajax was surprised, but he got more into the kiss, returning her gesture. Then suddenly, something touched his mind. A wolf. One of his kind was in trouble. With the distraction, Ajax's mind cleared from his lust and he pulled away reluctantly.

(( i knew youd say that hannah...honestly what are you going to do when a guy makes out with you.....*shakes head*)) Brooke pulled back also, her lust starting to die down. "What's wrong?" she asked, feeling his worry. "Wolf's in trouble....I have to go....stay here." he said and changed form, going towards the woods. Brooke laughed and started to follow him, calling Fea to her. He came at a run. She swung up onto him and Fea galloped after the quickly disappearing Ajax. Fea went into full gallop and started to catch up to the wolf-form of Ajax. She decided to stay a bit behind him, considering he'd probably tell her to go back. Just then, a thought popped into her head. 'He has no clothes on when he changes back...good thing I'm wearing my swinsuit under this...and a jacket.' she thought amused. Fea suddenly stopped...they had arrived in a clearing with a good 15 wolves. Ajax walked up to them and started to "talk". Brooke dismounted Fea and asked him to stay near. He thankfully walked to a tree and stood still by it. Brooke waited in the shadows to see what would happen.

Ajax howled his greeting song to his fellow packmembers, adding a note of worry to the melodious sound. He was aware of Fea behind him-- he always knew when an animal whose mind he'd touched was around. He decided to ignore it unless Brooke was in danger. The task at hand was too important. Brooke would hopefully be smart enough not to jump into a dangerous situation, especially with an animal she loved that the wolves could see as prey. He also knew that wolves could travel much faster than horses if they needed to. As he entered the clearing, he slowed and trotted up to the injured beta, whining softly. He licked the wolf's muzzle and examined his wound. Around his foot was a hunter's trap. Its iron jaws cut into Napuk's fur and were surrounded by oozing blood. Ajax spoke soothingly to the wolves as he changed back into a human, and the wolves growled a little but cared too much for the beta male to complain. Their minds were more intelligent than most animals' as Ajax had interacted with them frequently, so they could understand that he was helping them. He had always warned them against tameness, though... and here was a result of those idiot humans.

Brooke turned away as she noticed Ajax turning back into a human. She knew that he knew she was there, but he said nothing. She had tears spring to her eyes when she saw what had hurt the wolf...a hunters trap. She sent out her magic to find all the other hunter traps and sent the locations to Ajax so that he could implant them in the wolves brains. 'I didnt mean to interrupt...I just want to help.' she said, deciding to go over to where Ajax stood with the wolves. She walked over to him and draped her coat over his shoulders and handed her track-pants to him. She felt the wolves all eying her with intrest. One finally walked up and started to sniff her, apparently seeing if she was dangerous. Brooke stood still as she waited. The wolf went away a moment later and Ajax continued to work on the trap. Brooke squated down next to him. "Here, let me do that...will they let me?" she asked him. SHe knew how hunter traps worked...having been caught in one herself once.

Ajax gladly let Brooke mess with it, telling the wolves that she was safe and not food. He had become frustrated by the trap and when Brooke got it off with ease he glanced at her, surprised, then decided to ask her about it later. For now, this wound looked pretty bad. I'll have to take him home, he said to the alpha male, wondering if he would let him. Reluctantly the pack agreed that he needed to be taken care of. Ajax picked up the wolf, muscles straining, and said goodbye to the wolves before running over to Fea awkwardly. Will you carry him? Fea skittered a little but agreed, and Ajax turned to ask Brooke if it was all right. He was glad to have the clothes.

Brooke smiled at him. He looked funny in her clothes...but still surprisingly cute. "It's fine, we can just walk." she said. She stood up off of the ground and burnt the hunters trap with her lighting-fire. She then looked around at all the wolves and smiled. "I wish that I could come here more often and just sit with them...too bad I'm not like you....it would be great if I could talk to them." Brooke sighed, wishing she could tell the wolves what she thought of them.

Ajax suggested quietly, "You could relay any messages through me." Then he set the wolf down on the ground (i forgot about one aspect of wild magic) and held his hands on the injury, closing his eyes and pouring healing energy into the wound through his hands. After about half an hour, he opened his eyes and sat for a moment before getting up awkwardly. He looked drained. The wolf looked to be in a deep sleep. Ajax stretched wearily. "Brooke, you can go home. I'll stay and keep watch over him until he wakes up. I hope he doesn't have a limp after that. I'm sorry our day turned out this way. If you want to stay, feel free-- but don't feel obligated."

Brooke looked at Ajax's drained body. She was chilly in her bathing suit top and shorts, but used her lighting to start a small fire by the wolf and Ajax. She plopped down next to him. "I'm not going anywhere. Guess we'll just have to camp out here tonight." she said, smiling. "you look drained...." she said, puting about a forth of her energy into him. His face regained some color as hers lost a bit. She poured another forth into him, making him have half of her energy, and her keeping half. Ajax's face was colored again instead of a pale white. Brooke now looked halfway tired, but she got up and went to gaher firewood. She came back with enough to keep the fire running through the night and brought a tent flying from the stables with her air magic. She set it up quickly and laid out the bedrolls that Ajax had stored out in the woods, right where they were.

Ajax thought about protesting but instead thanked Brooke for the added energy. He got up to help her get wood and was impressed with her magic. "I guess your magic is control over weather? That's pretty useful," he observed. When they sat down by the fire wrapped in blankets, it was almost dusk. He had always been fascinated with fire. Kind of like he was fascinated in Brooke.

Brooke smiled shyly at Ajax. "Yeah, it is useful, but it is also kind of hard to control at times. Like when the lighting that i keep stored inside of me feels a storm coming...it all wants to jump out and join it. Sometimes thats difficult to keep control over....but on the plus side, it never rains where I am unless I want it to." she scooted closer to Ajax. "So what exactly can you do with your power....I've seen you talk to animals, turn into them, and I think heal them...is there anything else I should know about?" she then leaned her head against his muscular body. Brooke felt a storm coming and collected all the lightning and some of the rain for future usage, then sent the storm on its way. The way she talked about her power betrayed the real power within her.
