((No. My sis goes to the SIBS camp for the siblings. I go to the oncology camp for the cancer patients. Different dates.))
Erika smiled happily. "I do my best." she said cheerfully.
James sighed. "Anden . . . What humans consider respectful . . . wolves consider disrespectful . . . and what humans would call 'kissing a**', wolves call the highest level of respect . . ." he said, giving something of the basic lesson of ettiquete, though Anden would need a bit more a a detailed explanation. "Try to be at least somewhere in the middle . . . and . . . try only to speak when you are adressed . . . at least don't talk to the alphas if they don't adress you first . . . the other wolves I don't think it's that big of a deal . . ." he said, scratching the back of his neck, feeling a bit stressed.

(O-o That's what I meant by going with you >_> I really did! T__T o-O What do they do? Is it therapy-type stuff or something? O_o)
"Oh no, it's natural." said Damien with a chuckle, and Roland grinned at what he considered Damien's first tease.
Anden listened, trying to absorb all of this. "So wolves are basically a bunch of furry little suck ups." he muttered.
Rylara's lips had twitched upwards in amusement at the 'kissing a**' bit, and now they threated to curve into a small smile. "Only to some. Do you intend to take the true alpha test? Perhaps you'd manage after all.."
Anden blinked before frowning wolfishly. "James is my alpha." he said, not quite understanding how it worked but remaining loyal to James.
Rylara nearly chuckled and shook her head. "If you become a True Alpha..you will out rank him..but you would still be one of James' pack unless you challenged him for freedom or to take the pack leadership from him. You might want to look into it."
Anden decided that it might be interesting to be a True Alpha, only because of the much earlier mention of more powers..but otherwise, it was just a stupid way to seperate the wolves further. "James is my alpha," he repeated, "and my brother..I won't leave him." Anden said firmly.

((Nope. Just gives kids who've gone through the traumatizing and ostrasizing experience of cancer the chance to bond with other people their age and act like normal kids. ^-^))
Erika laughed a little. "If you say so . . ." she muttered, rolling her eyes teasingly before continuing to eat.
James smiled and ran his hand through Anden's fur, scratching behind his ears a bit. "Thanks buddy . . ." he said, feeling a bit touched.

(O_o I meant the one your sister is going to, but I'd have asked about yours next so it all works out! ^__^ o-o holy snarkles. That's nifty! *hugglez* Well, Mousey isn't normal, but that has nothing to do with cancer..it's cause she's purple! *talking as if Mousey isn't there* *continues on obliviously* Yes..she's so evil and hyper..and a cookie fiend..yes..very not normal...tis purple! *happy elevator music in the background as continues on cheerily* *cracks up* )
Roland pointed to the juice. "Try it, love! I made it with love for you, of course~" he said with a smile and a wink.
Anden leaned into the scratching with a wolfish smile. If James became a True Alpha, Anden would become one with him, he would make certain of it..but no matter what, he would stay with James. Anden would stay with the brother of his heart, rank be damned. "No problem, bro." he grinned then. "I just hope you realize that if you end up outranking me, more than you already do..you'll still just be my adorable, furry little brother." he teased playfully, nuzzling James' hands affectionately.

((*frowns* *throws a water balloon at you*))
Erika laughed. "Of course." she said and then drank some of her juice and her eyes widened and she quickly downed the rest and held it out towards Roland. "More please!" she asked cheerfully.
James chuckled."Of course I will . . . just not here." he said and continued to scratch Anden's ears.

(O_O *soaked* T___T *shivers* W-Why'd you do that? I was complimenting you! *waterfall tears*)
Roland laughed and grinned. "Glad you like it." he said as he refilled her glass. "I'll be happy to make it anytime you like, my love."
Anden leaned into the scratching, which felt wonderful. "Huh? Oh no you don't! You're my baby brother no matter where we are..and don't you forget it. Even if you become a True Alpha..I'll still be in charge. Someone has to watch over you, widdle bro." he teased, grinning wolfishly.

(( twisted The elevator music told me to do it. mrgreen ))
Erika smiled and then finished her french toast before drinking the glass of juice, though she went slower this time. She then sighed as she finished and smiled at Roland. "It's really, really good . . ." she said happily.
James chuckled. "Alright, alright, but remember. I'm older than you in werewolf terms!" he teased back and changed the scratching to a bit of a noogie.

(o-o..DUDE! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY MAKE THAT AS A SHIRT! That's so..so clever! BRILLIANCE! You'll make millions!)
Roland chuckled. "It's because I made it with love. For you, of course." he said, winking at her as he finished up and patted his stomach. "That was wonderful, my love." Damien, through a mouthful of food, mumbled something similar.
Anden laughed. "Dream on, runt." he said, growling playfully as he was noogied. Rylara had stood silently, watching the exchange with some amusement. "As I have been instructed to keep an eye on you, I will be in the next room. I'll bring you to the meeting tomorrow morning, try to stay out of trouble till then." she said, before inclinning her head and heading out.
Anden watched her go before looking to James. "Well she was..interesting." he said, scrunching his nose a bit. "Are they all like her?" he asked, thinking she was kinda stuck up, and not knowing that most of the others of the Lower and Upper Councils were a whole lot worse.

((^-^))
Erika smiled happily. "That's cause I made it with love too." she said softly, blushing a little.
James chuckled nervously. "Nope . . . the others are . . . worse . . . not as tolerant and even more stuck up . . ." he said, trying to explain things as best he could to Anden.

Anden frowned at that. "Not a nice bunch, from the sound of it." and then he turned to Theresa, nuzzling against her hands to show that he'd not forgotten her and to reassure her..he could sense her unease, but he still didn't understand the cause. "What was all that about Theresa being a witch, why should that matter?"

James sighed and looked at Theresa. "Witches and wolfkin have had a sort of . . . love-hate relationship throughout the years . . . It started with the witches of the ancient wars when races fought. Witches who had werewolves as mates and lovers used them to fight for them . . . this caused the werewolves to retaliate by taking witches for lovers and mates and locking them up, sometimes torturing them . . ." he said and then looked to Theresa, who took over.
"A lot of the witches who were taken were innocent of the crimes that their kin had committed, and this angered other witches who believed that those who were innocent shouldn't be punished . . . and the fighting between the two races escalated until the witch queen and wolf-king fell in love and got married . . . but hostilities towards witches still remain amongst the wolfkin and vice versa . . ." she said and sat down on a bed with a sigh. She was scared, there was no denying that, but she was strong enough not to blatantly show that fear.

Anden listened attentively, a bit surprised. He'd always thought wolves and vamps had had the issues, but apparently, Hollywood had botched things yet again. "I see.." he glanced to Theresa as she sat on the bed with a sigh..and he looked at her a moment before jumping up onto the bed beside her, and then going over her so that his furry upper body was on her lap as he leaned up and licked her cheek before nuzzling her. "Don't worry, Thery, I'll protect you!" he announced, and it came out as an odd sounding growl. He glanced to James. "Tell her what I said, por favor." he said, playfully mispronouncing por favor.
Anden and James had both taken two years of Spanish, although Anden hadn't found it as much to his liking as he'd hoped..damned teacher. She hated Anden. But of course, she adored James. It would have been a joke between them, if they hadn't had the falling out.

James chuckled. "He says you don't need to worry, because he'll protect you . . . and I'll protect you too . . ." he said, sitting down on the bed next to Theresa.
Theresa smiled. "Thanks . . . both of you . . ." she said softly, running a hand through Anden's fur and pulling James into a bit of a one-armed hug.

Anden leaned into her hand and smiled, before glancing to James and grinning wolfishly. "And meanwhile, I'll be protecting you as well. It's my job to look after my baby brother~" he teased, chuckling playfully as he batted James' thigh with his right paw.

James rolled his eyes and chuckled. "Not until you learn how to behave amongst the wolfkin, you won't." he said and ruffled Anden's fur.
