Sebastian half-closed his eyes as he leaned back against the wall of the fighters' communal house. Plenty of people were awake already; how they managed to deal with getting up so early every single morning was beyond him. He was barely awake even now. And his head still hurt. Maybe he could go to the healers' office and rifle around for an ibuprofen or something? Ah, but they kept that place under lock and key most of the time, didn't they? Had to keep careful eyes on their inventory and all that, didn't want anyone stealing from them. If anyone was likely to, it was probably Sebastian - but only because didn't want to have to go through a healer for something as insignificant as a headache.
Maybe he'd just go get something to eat instead. Or at the very least, something to drink. As his cigarette slowly burned down to its end, Sebastian pushed himself off the wall and strolled lazily back inside, heading right for his bed. it was still messy and unmade, but that wasn't bound to change. No point in fixing his sheets if they were only destined to be messed up again, right? At least, that was the way he saw things. Sebastian flicked the remains of his cigarette into the thin pool of lukewarm water still sitting in the bottom of the glass to douse it, then grabbed the glass by the rim. It was his lucky day though, apparently, because he immediately dropped it and heard it break against the floor. It really was going to be one of those days, wasn't it? With a heavy, irritated sigh, he knelt down to pick up the glass fragments. Thankfully, it hadn't completely shattered; most of the glass was still in one piece, but there were still a few shards scattered across the floor. He'd hoped the thick glass would be a little bit more resilient than that. Growling to himself, he stood the better part of the glass back up and dropped the stray pieces of glass and the cigarette butt into it.
Apparently, though, he was still feeling particularly clumsy this morning, for as he went to pick up the glass a second time, he grabbed the sharp edge and felt it scrape across his palm. The pain elicited another growl from him, gold streaks flashing through his brown eyes for a moment as he watched blood well up in the cut. He carefully scooped up the glass with his left hand and hastily tossed it in the garbage, pausing afterwards to look down at his hand again and assess the damage. The cut stretched vertically across most of the length of his palm, and it definitely looked like it needed to be bandaged at the very least. Well, now at least he had an excuse to go to the healers' office.
He trotted swiftly across the camp towards the building he knew housed the pack's medical supplies. Hopefully, it was unlocked by now, and Sebastian could get in there without any hassle and just bandage up his own wound. He didn't really like having other people fuss over him, even if it was just to treat his injuries. As he approached, however, his path convened almost perfectly with a young woman headed towards the same destination. He recognized her immediately and stopped in his tracks right in front of her.
"Raine." Sebastian said, sort of awkwardly pulling his hand up towards himself as if to hide his wound from her. The smudges of blood he inadvertently left on his white shirt probably told her all she needed to know, though. "Good to see you." He greeted, in a stiff voice that sounded far from genuine. He could've said he didn't expect to see her here, but this was probably the most predictable place for her to be. He had just hoped nobody would be here.

Loamy earth continued to sink under Amaranth's dirty hiking boots as she made her way through the camp. Here, though, the ground was actually a bit harder, more densely packed than the loose, soft forest floor due to the foot traffic constantly tamping it down. In such a way, trails of sorts had been worn into the ground along favored paths between buildings. It was a rustic way of life they lived, but it kept them more in touch with their wild selves. Being a werewolf meant having to find a balance between one's human side and their lupine side. For some, it was more difficult than others. Trying to completely repress the beast sometimes resulted in making it even harder to control. Amaranth had been born this way, always living as one with the animal, so she supposed it was easier for her in that regard. Or maybe her wolf had just never been quite as aggressive as some others - though she did feel the wild instincts fire up every now and then, when the situation pressed it.
As she made her way towards the center of camp, she spied their alpha, sitting on top of a rock, perhaps resting for a moment while he observed his pack. She didn't blame him for wanting to always keep an eye on things; she felt the same desire in herself often. Now, though, Winston actually looked rather relaxed. Relatively speaking, at least. Amaranth slowed her brisk pace a little as she approached him. "Good morning." She greeted him amiably, hoping she hadn't jarred him out of his calm moment. He should've heard her footsteps approaching him first, anyway. "Hope I haven't missed anything." It was a bit of a seeking remark, an attempt to drudge up any of the exact things she might have missed into conversation.
Amaranth was always eager to work. As a scout, she often spent a long time away from camp, alone in the woods and having to carefully keep watch of her surroundings. However, she was well-suited to it, she felt. She had wondered whether or not it would be nice to have a position of more authority, but always came back to questioning herself more than anything. Most of all, she wanted to contribute to the pack, no matter what it was she was doing. Having been out for too long in the morning, she felt restless, like she'd lost valuable time. She was itching to do something - anything - to occupy herself.
