AN: For the record, two meters is just about 6'6'' tall.
Fox twirled the cord of the telephone between her fingers as she listened to Dingo, smiling ever so slightly. Gripe as he may, Dingo really was most comfortable working in a team. Hell, he was happier when he had someone to share his adventures with. "So... have you told Brunhilde yet?"
On the other end of the phone, and the other side of the world, Dingo let out a long sigh. "No. I mean, how am I supposed to tell th' girl that her beloved big brother's a seven foot tall world man? I don't think she'd believe me even if I told her."
"Lets not forget the bit about being decended from an evil viking that used to inhabit an axe. Owen says he's spotted the spirit around Wolf's cell, so he doesn't seem to be as gone as one would like."
"Ya know, I'm never gonna get used ta you talking about ghosts like they're the most natural thing in the world."
"Says the man bonded to the nanobots." Fox retorted. "So, when do I get to meet the new pack. David wants to see these children too."
"Ehhh..." Fox could hear Dingo shifting from foot to foot. "Ya see... the thing is... Well, the rest of the Pack really ain't too keen on meeting you, an I swear to God Brunhilde.... sorry, I suppose I should be calling her Wolf now... well, she growls ever time someone brings up David's name. Sometimes that girl makes my hair stand on end."
"Are we talking about the same girl who used to follow Wolf around like a lost puppy?"
"That's little girl's a grown woman now. And I mean grown. She's two meters tall, easy."
"So, tell me about the rest of your new Pack." Fox said.
Dingo groaned quietly. "Never before have I EVER been involed with a bunch less suited to work as a team than this lot. Individually they're right good, but together they're like potasium an' water. I expect th' new Hyena ta tear Lion's head off any moment now."
"Wait wait wait... Lion?"
"Well... me an' Brunhilde kinda agreed it seemed wrong ta put a new Fox on the team... so we let Evan be Lion. He seemed to like the name better, anyway. But him and Faizah... if they don't kill eachother, I might. And the new Jackle.... I think th' only person he gets on with is Brunhilde, and even then its not like they're the best've mates."
"And how do they get along with you?" Fox asked.
"Weeeell.... individually, everthing's all hunky dorie. Hashim... that's the new Jackle... he don't like Matrix too much, but not many folks do. But get us all together... Fox, its like tryin' ta manage a gaggle of six year olds! If I didn't know we can come together in a fight, I'd've left ages ago."
"That sounds very familiar..." Fox said, a bemused smiled flitting across her face for a moment.
"Now don't you start!"
