Tumeric

Introduction - A sarcastic and somewhat impatient wolf with a soft streak he guards harshly. A humorous character when he wants to be. - - - - Pairbond - Found an unfortunate soft spot for the newest pupsitter of the pack. Iris is a sweet, naive wolf with little notice to Turmeric's boundaries. They fall while Iris attempts to force Turmeric to take in a nervous new pup as an apprentice. Despite their differences, they are surprisingly one of the first bonds made in the pack. What he did not, however, account for, was Iris' penchant for strays... - - - - Adoption and loss - A small while after their bonding, Iris wanders through Fleurs weekly visits to the enclave. Lost for a short while, he finds the pool of orphaned or abandoned pups. It's there he finds himself trailed by an odd-eyed, talkative pup. Moth latches himself to Iris and so, with some fearful hesitation, the pair finds themself back the next day to meet the pup together. Moth, for all his differences from both adults, latches on once more and the pair finds themselves parents in a rather impromptu adoption. Iris adds him to his brood of sitted pups but, merely a couple weeks from his adoption, Moth slips out from his parents' den. Holland, who had been sporting a small concussion, had garnered the adult's attention. Despite his parents and packs frantic searching, Moth did not re-appear and was considered dead in the following days. Turmeric shuts himself into his work, only allowing Iris in and often corralling the sullen sitter into their den until the needs of his protected pups drew him out. Iris lost some of his spark in the coming days and nearly left his job in totality before Frost, his charge and Turmeric's apprentice by Iris' force, made the pied wolf rejoin the strays in their den. While healing was slow, the pair grew stronger for it. If, that is, with a lot more sorrow.
