Sunka spent most of his life alone, wandering the world looking for adventrure. He was kicked out of his birth clan for being different, a birth defect making him much softer than other members of his family, at the time no one even knew he was a werewolf. As he grew it became apparent that he was much larger than most tundras. The genedic differences betwen him and other members of his species meant he never felt like he belonged, no matter where he went. When he was younger he helped in a fight pit, making sure contestants never took the competition too far, but when the ring shut down he was left to wander the world looking for a new purpose.

One day while he was exploring he saw a tundra much smaller than the others he had seen being attacked by a band of beastclan, the raptoriks were ready to tear her appart before he stepped in.

With his hackles raised, every hair on his back stood on end while drool dripped from his maws, he let out a snarl before ripping one of the raptoriks off of the small tundra before throwing it across the clearing. Turning to face the other beastclan members he was met with empty space as they had fled, terrified of the giant tundra.

With the threat gone Sunka turned to face the small female, his fur falling back into place as he seemed to shrink a bit in size before speaking in a voice almost to soft to hear.

Sunka looks down at the trembling tundra, who still hasn't been able to overcome the shock of getting grabbed and nearly torn apart, and knows she clearly can't walk on her own. So she climbs onto his back, and points in the general direction of her home, while Sunka calms her down by talking softly to her.

Eventually he does find her home.

"Well, here we are."

The little tundra looks at her home before nestling farther into his fluff, comfortable on his back. While she stares at her home her stomach rumbles, causing her to stay where she was, perched on Sunka's back. Finally she is happy and warm, the first time in awhile for her, so she allows herself just a few more moments with the large tundra, hoping he will let her stay.

Sunka is happy to finally have a companion, he’s happy he could save someone and he’ll admit, the weight on his back is comforting; it’s nice to know someone is there, someone that accepts him as he is.

And they go off walking away from her home, as Waffle quietly snores.

Waffle

Eventually Waffle and Sunka stumbled onto Chara’s home. They approach and smell the scent of a cherry pie. Chara is the only one that has ever baked in the clan, and although she doesn't do it too much, she felt like baking today. Waffle couldn't resist, it reminded her so much of the happy sweet times in her past.

They were greeted by 23498897354 dogs, and Chara welcomes them.

The dogs like to cuddle in Sunka's fluff. It's a big soft pile of dog. "The dogs have never listened so well to me, how do you do it Sunka?"

And Waffle pleads for Chara to teach her how to bake. Chara isn't much of a baker, but she was convinced in the end, and Chara learns how to bake again side by side with Waffle. Eventually, Waffle surpasses her, and begins her career as a baker.

"It's nice to have someone who can see and talk to help out with baking too. Byte is nice, but it takes a lot of guesswork with his help."

Sunka is a traveller at heart, and Waffle does like adventuring with him, but she also likes baking. So, during winter when food is sparse, and in the summer when it's too hot for tundras, they choose to either stay in Toril's clan or Zereinity's clan to set up shop.

Sunka gathers ingredients. Once, he bought an entire pine tree, roots and all.

"Sunka.. Pine cone I said!"
"It's got millions on it! This was the best way to bring it back”
“It’s messy”
“I promise to clean it up”
"chuckles alright thank you, bring it out to the back and I'll make a pie for you"

They have pine pie for a month. And Sunka gathers the local dogs to help clean up the mess. Chara wakes up, and it's silent: ”oh dear Shadowbinder it’s quiet, I actually got to sleep for once, what happened”

They use the pine wood to make a bonfire later on, with Waffle making marshmallows.

Everyone loves it when they come here.

The second the clan is awoken by the massive bark of several dogs that are running through the clan, they leave their dens to follow the sound. They find themselves in the doorway of the bakery which has all sorts of smells coming from it, crossaints, waffles, donuts...

Chara also wakes up happy because she sleeps till noon, knowing exactly what the silence means. She comes by later to meet them, and chats about their travels while she drinks a coffee and nibbles on a slice of cherry pie
The bakery is a nice homely place, made out of pine wood

Here it snows a lot in the winter, so they can have a lot of fun. They can make snowdragons, and have fun playing snowballs. Sunka catches snowballs in his mouth and he can make giant slow balls, and then hits them with his tail like a bat to make them go flying. And in the evenings they can cuddle by the fire.

Their arrival is not as evident in Zereinity's clan at first.

The bakery is set up in the most shaded area of camp, as far out of the sun and the head of the wastelands as possible. For a day or two no one really notices, their only customers are Zereinity (who likes having another werewolf around), Wolf and Tiger, and Bear. The cafe is calm, almost deserted during the day until dragons start to pick up on the smell of freshly baked goods and their noses lead them to the cafe. After a few more days it’s busy at every hour of the day, dragons from all over the clan come in for a baked treat and a cold drink to beat the heat.

Everyone loves when Sunka and Waffle visit but the clan is so busy it takes awhile for anyone to notice.

When Sunka is alone, he is a light sleeper. But feeling safe with Waffle or other hounds, he can be a heavy sleeper (Until the weight of waffle leaves him and he wakes up). With Waffle an orchestra could play a foot away and he still wouldn't get up.

Sometimes mornings are heavy. If Waffle wakes up first, she tries to wake up this big tundra without success, jumping up and down on him but he doesn't budge, and he just rolls over and traps her under his arm, hehe.

Or Sunka wakes up early, but no growls or anything as he jumps around wakes Waffle up, to the point he just throws her into a river, and then she gives in, and splashes him back. (:

Sunka is the best saviour. Waffle is picking berries for dinner, when a toridae jumps out "rawr!". She doesn't even look up as this blur of fluff going at 238924376234 MPH hits the toridae like a truck.

One day
Asher found a shiny butter knife on the counter in the bakery, and his thief mind took over. Waffle was very upset, which led Sunka to hunt him down and Asher is in so much trouble.

"Come back here tiny fae, you pay for upsetting Waffle"

Asher is regretting absolutely everything, hiding in a hole in a high pine tree. Earlier he had given the knife back as he was flying for his life, but that didn't stop Sunka. Asher relaxes in the hole, gasping for breath.

"Safe here. Oh Dakota my friend if only you weren't stuffing your face with donuts right now."
Forgetting that Sunka, a dog, can follow his scent trail. The metaphorical sun is blocked as Sunka pokes his head in the hole and Asher yelps and shrinks, covering his face and closes his eyes.

"Found fae. You come with me, apologise to Waffle."
Asher opens one eye suspiciously. "Just an apology?"
"Fae small, hurting fae would mean death, only deserves a good scare and must apologise to Waffle for hurting her feelings."
"Oh. Thank you. I'm so sorry."

They return to Waffle who laughs at the sight.
"You look terrified!" She brings in Asher for a hug "I know you have a shiny thing problem, but we need to try curb that. I was going to use that knife to make cookies you see, and they had to be delayed."
"Oh I'm so sorry!"
"Fae be more aware before he grab. If want shiny we have extra shiny, just not that shiny."
"I will..."
"Come inside now for cookies. They were finished when you were getting chased around" Waffle walks up to Sunka and and nuzzles him "Thank you dear".

Sometimes Sunka bothers Waffle while she is baking. She is working hard in the kitchen and he feels ignored, so he wanders up behind her and gently rests his head on her shoulder. If she ignores him or doesn’t immediately give him all the attention he’ll huff and pout until she pays attention to him. At one point she's chuckling as he is nuzzling into her neck, and pops a mint into his mouth to hopefully help it.

"They'll be in the oven soon, give me five minutes."
"But honey... you’ve been baking for ages now... can’t we cuddle a bit?"
"Five minutes sweetheart, I promise I'll have all the time in the world then"
"But I want cuddles now... please... cause you love me...?"
Waffle laughs, and squeezes his cheeks, ruffling his fluff as she does so.
"five minutes sweetie I promise. I love you more than anything in the world, but you'll get hungry if they're not in the oven! I won't tidy right away too, so we can cuddle straightaway"
"Okay Okay... fine... I’ll go..." Sunka lets out a huff before pulling away from Waffle, leaving the room with his head low and his fluffy tail dragging along the ground in defeat. He looks absolutely pathetic.

Waffle finds him pouting on the ground, and as tries to nuzzle into his neck, and he won't budge and keeps on pouting. He’s just mopping in the corner until she comes over and moves so she’s sitting between his front paws before she kind of nuzzles his neck, giving him lots of kisses until he stops pouting and starts cuddling her. She keeps bothering him until he forgets all about it and is laughing and they're cuddling together.

"We are not having grumpy frumpy boys in our happy bakery."
"I promise to stop pouting if you don’t tickle me, I hate getting tickled"
"throws her paws around him that's my good boy! I love you"
Sunka shyly looks away while a small smile creeps up on his face "I love you too, Waffle..."
Mission success.
