Ridge
Through his one eye that wasn't covered in snow, Ridge watched as the deer ran out of his sight, snow kicking out from behind it. He stared for a long moment, staying in the same position with his rear stuck up in the air white his chest and chin lay smashed into the snow. Eventually, a large grin formed across his face and he began to laugh at himself. In a few seconds his laugh grew much stronger as he stood up to his paws, shaking away the snow that had piled on top of him from his fall into it. Once he opened his eyes after slinging the snow off of himself, his eyes glinted with obvious amusement. [i]What a fail that was,[i] he thought to himself, chuckling to himself. Despite the lost meal, his tail wagged slightly. He didn't mind the little blunder because it was so funny. Who tripped while giving chase? It might be a hilarious story to tell one day, that was if he ever decided to actually settle down in a pack again. He was partial to finding one to stay in for at least a few days, but he would be just as happy staying a loner. It really just depended on how much he was looking to socialize. It had been a while since he had made a good friend to pull crazy stunts with, though it was almost just as fun to do it alone. He always preferred it when there was someone else to laugh after they survived their stunt, not that he was an incredibly social wolf. He wasn't an over the top social wolf, but he usually didn't mind a crowd unless they were chewing him out for his stunts or something terrible. He figured he may find himself a pack to join soon if he could. Why not?
Storm
He sighed and cast his gaze from the ruffled gray clouds to the snow that lay in drifts in a similar way to the clouds. Perhaps he would be able to dig himself a den before the storm hit and he would be spared of the icy winds of the storm. He hadn't much of a clue as to when the storm was coming, but he figured it would arrive within an day, or maybe by the next. That would probably allow him enough time to dig a reasonable den. All it would take was around a few hours, he assumed. He could go around prowling for a pack the next few hours and then maybe he could find himself a good place for a den where he wished he would be out of everybody's way. He would hate to find himself trapped in a den, wolves surrounding him. It would be an almost sure fire death to him. Out in the open he could make a dash for it if he had to, though he knew he used to be able to take around three wolves at a time, of course, not without injuries. But if it came down to it, he knew how to fight and he knew how to kill. It wasn't what he was looking to do, but if he had to kill he would do it without hesitation. Any wolf who would pick a fight with another before knowing the other's intentions probably wasn't a wolf of good character anyway and he wasn't particularly in favor of those wolves. He had spent most of his life dealing with that kind of wolf or at least he thought they were that way. He was born in the middle of the war between his pack and another so, for all he knew his pack had been the unreasonable wolves. He hated to think about that, though, because he would hate to view his mentor and best friend as the kind of wolf he so very much hated.
Todd
After he finished letting out his little howl, Todd looked around again. If he was going to live he was either going to need to teach himself how to hunt or try to find a wolf to take him in. In all reality, he figured neither thing would be very likely to happen. He was too small to hunt and another wolf would probably just kill him, especially if he came across a male. He didn't know much about male wolves despite the fact that he was one himself. He was just a pup, though. His mother was nice so, he figured females were okay at least to their own pups, but she had always told him to stay clear of wolves, especially males. She didn't have to tell him that twice for him to stay glued to his mother's side and try his best to stay out of the sight of another wolf. It was going against his instinct and what he was taught to go out looking for another wolf. He decided it might be better if he just tried hunting for himself. He used to see squirrels around, though since the weather snapped off so cold they seemed to have disappeared, meaning he probably wouldn't have any luck catching himself a squirrel. He wasn't quite sure what else was small like a squirrel. Birds were, but they would probably fly away before he could get one. He supposed there were also rabbits around. He had seen at least one even after it snowed. Perhaps he would have better luck trying to catch one of them. It might be easy enough, but probably not. He had no experience. He had only eaten prey, not caught anything for himself. But if he just sat around how could he catch anything? He would just have to try, as brutal as it sounded to chase down and kill an animal. He stood up to his feet, sticking his nose into the air and sniffing it like he had seen his mother do before she left to hunt. His eyes went wide as several scents filled his nose all at once. He could barely pick one thing from the other! If there was a rabbit, he couldn't smell one. He supposed he would just have to hunt it down so, he trudged through the snow that was chest deep to him, leaving behind a large sunken line in the snow as he went, sniffing around on the top of it for the scent of a rabbit.
