"Bullet."
Ah, so his name was Bullet? Chikara tried to keep that in mind. After all, she had to be able to adress him... since he would be leaddog.
She listened to John and Luxie in the back, with only one ear slightly turned to them. But she didn't really payed attention to their words... as she was still too curious, and hadn't figured out yet why his scent was so different.
He blinked. The warm air of another's breathing reached him in a place that he was particularly protective of. He swivveled his head around and peered down at the golden female who seemed intent on sniffing away at his... private area. She tried to seem nonchalant about it, but it wasn't working.
"... Excuse me."
Bullet didn't say it with an angry tone, just a firm one. He really wasn't angry.. yet... but he found it a little rude to sniff at someone "in secret."
Chikara gulped; she felt a blush coming up and lowered her head, trying to give an apologizing smile.
Oh, damn it... and she thought she'd been careful!!! Appearently, this guy was no fool!!
Harmony tilted her head at Chikara before bending down forward with her friend saying, "Whutchya doin'?"
It took Harmony only a second to realize it, before she glanced at the male's butt before putting her head up, snickering. Oh, she get it. Chikara was a bit oblivoius when it came to male parts it seemed. Of course, the fact that Harmony knew about this made the wolfdog quite embarrassed so she let out her little snickers in the snow as she softly rolled in it a few moments to calm herself down.

"Look, little miss. You want information, you talk to me, not to my ass. Okay?"
His voice was slightly humorous now. Females. Always trying to be shy about it. He didn't, however, want her nose figuring out what he was lacking. At least, not that quickly.
''Eh... yes, of course...'' She stammered, embarrassed. ''I was just... I'm sorry. I'm... Chikara, by the way...'' She gave him a little tailwag, hoping he would soon forget about her curious sniffing.
She then glanced at Harmony, a questioning look in her eyes.
Oh yes... she was still green as grass when it came to this!!
That had immediately put Harmony into a fit of laughter, rather heartily, before settling quickly, scratching the back of her ear before saying, "I'm glad the team leader is you boyo!" she commented. "You've got humor, agood sense, and you look leader material. I mean, other than John, of course." she acknowledged the older wolf with quite respect before nudging Chikara teasingly. "She's just a curious gal is all hehe." she commented. She then tilted her head though saying, "Bullet's your name? I thought the men over there called you Bracken." she was slightly confused. "I'm guessing Bullet is your birth name, huh?"
Chikara quickly realised that Harmony understood something she didn't, which just made her more curious.
She tilted her head slightly, which gave her quite a cute look about her, but forced herself to keep her eyes and nose AWAY from his butt.
She was glad as Harmony spoke to him, especially since that would distract the male's attention again... but she didn't dare to sniff him openly again.
Still... with every breath she took, she realised something was off. But what could it BE?
((LOL, as soon as their running, I'm sure she'll FINALLY realise SOMETHING is off....
))
