OOC: @Spirit: No, she is not. She’s standing outside the nursery with Tiger and Cole, since Tiger's asked to be trained by Cole.

TOBY | Hunter | L-Pack | Tagging: Nightfall, Rosa | Location: Nursery
Toby glanced at Rosa, and his heart both ached, and yet softened at the same time. He smiled softly at the Pup, then turned his gaze to the she-wolf next to him. "Oh lift up your head, Nightfall. There's nothing to be ashamed of." If Toby was to tell her he felt the same, he wouldn’t be being honest. However, he had t forgotten the way his heart had skipped a beat, and her touch made his pelt prickle. "I promise. I’m not going to lie. I place no judgement on the situation aside from to say, I’m honoured that a she-wolf like you has feelings for someone like...well... ME. I can’t move on just yet. I’m...not past Naru, I’ve been holding on so long I’ve convinced myself she'll come back one day. I like you, Nightfall, I do. A lot. I don’t think...I could be ready for another relationship so soon after Naru left."
KARTER | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Storm, Bertrum | Location: Meadow
Karter took a deep breath. The fact someone had been able to sneak up on them unnoticed, and had been able to read into things by looking at them had spooked him more than a little. He shook his head and glared down at the ground in awkwardness and frustration. [i]What kind of Warrior am I, if I spook when my own Packmate comes up to talk to us? Even if it was to accuse, I can’t outrun Toby, I can’t successfully spar with Blizzard or Axel, I can’t avoid being jumped on by Storm or Aala, and apparently, I can’t even keep a calm composure in the face of a stealthy Packmate. Aaaaand yet, somehow, Shadow thought I was good enough to become a Warrior.[i]
"Storm, what do we do now, where do we go from here, if we were even followed out here?" Karter asked. He hated not having an answer, not knowing what exactly to do, but that was the way of life. The fact was, nobody always knew everything. Nobody had all the answers. "Weren't we supposed to be FREE out here?" He glanced briefly back over his shoulder, but through the tall grasses, he had lost sight of Bertrum.
SMOKE | Warrior | L-Pack | Tagging: Starfire | Location: Nursery
"I know it was, but it was a choice the both of us made in the end, and I don’t care if other wolves frown on us because we're both she-wolves, or because of our age, or because of...ANYTHING, really. I didn’t know for a long time what it was like to be GENUINELY happy. Not since my childhood best friend disappeared. I was just trouble after that, wolves tolerated me," Smoke remembered. She smiled again, but it was a wishful smile. She had wished every day for a better life, for a life where she could still be herself, and not be frowned at for it, and after more than a year of hoping and praying, Starfire had approached her first, and had smiled at her with true warmth.
"You changed my life in so many ways, Starfire. You really did, and...if I tried to list them and how they’ve affected me, we’d be here all day, so just...thank you for loving me, even with all my wackiness and faceplanting in the stream."
