OOC: @Spirit: Okay, but what are they DOING? Like, all I’m seeing is -on hold- for both of them.
IC:
ARIAN | Lead Warrior | F-Pack | Tagging: Rubin, Galaxy | Location: Forest
"Do not snap at me!" Arian growled, fire lighting her eyes. She spoke the same way with Galaxy as she would with a Warrior disobeying orders, and realized that only too late. I told Erle this would happen...I told him I would get impatient. I would get nervous and I would eventually snap. He knew I wanted a family. He had confidence I could do it. Why am I failing him now, of all times? She wondered if it was that simple fact. Erle didn’t come. He couldn’t have survived on his own. It was right next to impossible for any period of time, between enemy wolves, the cougars, and the pair of bears. Yet he hadn’t come for them. She’d told herself maybe he just hadn’t had the time to learn how yet, because she knew he would’ve been there if he could’ve been. "I know it’s hard. I do. You’re not the only one struggling, Galaxy, but you have two choices at this point. You can accept that he’s not here, move forward, and honour his memory, or you can keep fighting a useless battle, and put more and more distance between yourself and the living. He will come down for us one day. Wouldn’t you want to be there when that happens, rather than tromping through a forest?"
SMOKE | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Starfire | Location: Camp
"Yup!" Smoke liked Pups, really, she did, even if she hadn’t been around them too much. The fact that she didn’t spend a lot of time in the nursery wasn’t because she didn’t like Pups so much as she didn’t trust herself not to teach them to prank the Alpha or mess up the herbs, and such was still the case now. "Soooo...being around Pups, I may or may not teach them to be general annoyances like me, so if I end up getting too out of hand at some point or something, stop me, 'kay? Cool," she added the last word without waiting for agreement.
EMIT | Hunter | F-Pack | Tagging: Kellin, Moon | Location: Camp
Emit allowed himself a brief moment to dwell on his thoughts, then snapped himself out of it and trotted up to join his fellow Hunter again, awkwardly dipping his head to Kellin. "Got the rabbit? Moon would definitely appreciate it. I feel bad for her, y'know? I mean, it’s been more than a month, but she’s still got this really distant, almost eerie aura about her, like she’s still hoping and wishing Alpha Max would come back."
NIGHT | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Angel | Location: Camp
Night had just finished shredding her prey and burying the bones when she caught sight of Angel, seemingly glaring at someone. She followed his gaze to rest on Ginger. Ginger had for the longest time been a sweet enough she-wolf, but it seemed to have been a facade to hide her anger and bitterness. Night could understand that. She had been through a lot herself. She’d been bitter and angry too, but at least she’d had a semblance of control, channeling her anger into harder training more than taking it out of those around her. Finally, the brown furred Warrior sauntered up to Angel and sat down next to him, though kept a respectful distance from him. She knew when she was angry, bitter, or even just frustrated, she had never been one who had appreciated any closeness or offers of comfort.
"You’re mad by how easy she’s been let off, eh?" Night faced forward, rolling her eyes. "You ain’t the only one. I’ve learned the hard way that crimes need to be punished more firmly. Without a proper punishment, things might not actually sink in. The full gravity of a situation isn’t realized or learned from."
