Aspen, fighter: location, camp : feeling, neutral : tagged, Rhea
indentAspen listened to Rhea’s words, nodding along, taking the comfort her friend intended. “Yeah, there are some good wolves left that are still over there. Hopefully this was a wake up call to Tor, maybe he’ll start listening to them.” She didn’t really believe the alpha would, though, and the doubt was clear in her voice. She nudged Rhea back, welcoming the touch, and appreciating it.
indentThey laid together in quiet companionship for several moments before Rhea took her bite of food. Aspen lingered over her own next bite, enjoying the company and the act of sharing prey with a packmate. It had been too long since she’d been able to eat leisurely like this and the fae found herself savoring every second. It was the small moments like these that really set the two packs apart, if Tor had seen them laying like this he would have come over and broken it up whereas Kendall encouraged it.
indentRhea spoke again and Aspen turned to look at her in turn, her heart warming at the words. This is what a pack was supposed to be like, she thought.
indent”Thank you, Rhea.” Aspen stretched her front paw out, laying it over Rhea’s own. “If you ever need the same, I am here for you as well.” And she meant it too.
indentAspen drew back her paw after a few heartbeats, not wanting to intrude too long if her own touch was unwelcome. From knowing Rhea in Bear Claw, she was uncertain if prolonged contact was something the fae would be alright with, or if the nudges were all she was comfortable with for the moment. Either way, she was grateful the fae had come over and shared her time with her.

Tor, the Alpha: location, in the woods, by the border : feeling, smug : tagged, Ragen, Thordane, Valor, and Crow
indentPleased with Ragen’s response, and the opportunity it gave him, Tor laughed. “Indeed.” He murmured, loud enough for those standing near to hear as his eyes gleamed maliciously. He ignored Crow, the loner meant nothing to him. Not when his choice of prey was before him right now, the regal stance of Thordane and the loyal traitor Valor beside him. Thordane, who stood before him, defiant even now. Thordane, who he very much wanted back in the pack, under his watch. The first to stand with Kendall, if he were to return.. oh how it would break this fake pack.
indentTor cocked his head to the side, lightening his expression. “Come now, you act as if I’m here to hurt you. I’ve let you and yours play pretend in peace for so long now, haven’t I? Perhaps I’m just truly worried for your welfare.” He didn’t expect them to believe that last sentence and so added a mocking lilt to his voice for it.
indentThen he grew serious. “I would like you to tell Kendall something for me. Tell her that if she returns to me by the new moon, that I won’t punish her. Her, or her little group of followers. I can be merciful. I’ll even let this little charade continue in peace until then. But afterwards… afterwards I’m coming for what’s mine. What’s ours.” He flicked his tail, nodding at Ragen in a clear indication. Razzberry hadn’t left so long ago. Left with the pups she carried.
indent”Come, Ragen. We’ll leave them to their thoughts.” And Tor left, not looking back.
Starfall, hunter: location, camp : feeling, relaxed : tagged, Liannah, Renn
indent”That all sounds fine by me.” Starfall smiled at her companions, having no objections to the plan. She was happy to do as her lead huntress instructed.
indentStarfall stood now and stretched, warming up her muscles in preparation for her solo hunt. She already had an idea in mind of where she wanted to go, a small clearing she’d noticed a few days prior. “Do you need anything else from me right now? Otherwise I’ll get going.” Now that she was awake she was eager to get moving, put in the sunlight under the trees.
Misty, pup sitter: location, splashing in the river : feeling, playful : tagged, Soulfire, Koi
indentMisty laughed as Koi jumped in the water, splashing him and soaking his coat thoroughly with the motion. The gray brute danced about in the water some more himself, ducking under it for a bit. Now that his fur was already as wet as could be he had no reservations about going deeper into the river. The current was gentle here, but even if it wasn’t Misty prided himself on being a strong swimmer. He had to be in case any pups wandered too close to the water.
indent”Oh!” He exclaimed in delight as Koi managed to free the stone and dropped it on the bank for him. “Thank you!” He bounced over, crouching over his treasure with a wiggle and inspecting it happily. He giggled as he was splashed again and stuck his tongue out in return. He refrained from shaking, already plotting about how he was gonna get Koi back once the other male was distracted again.
indentSoulfire joined them and Misty saw his chance. “C’mon Soul! Together we can take him!” He made sure his stone was securely tucked up on shore then charged at Koi, sending a massive splash his way.
