Destiny's ears perked at Cypher’s words, the teasing laced with a depth she wasn’t sure she was ready to face. Her heart beat a little faster than usual, but she kept her smirk steady, making sure not to let it slip into something more vulnerable. He had a way of doing that, making everything feel lighter but more intense at the same time.
“Impressive, huh?” she chuckled, tilting her head as she turned to face him again, her eyes gleaming with playful challenge. “You should’ve seen it. I was quick, and I knew the best ways to slip past the patrols.” She stopped, though, at the question he posed. The one that felt like it was more than just casual curiosity. Destiny’s thoughts swirled as the idea of no pack lines, no responsibilities, seemed to stretch out in front of her like an open sky. It was a strange thought—one that felt both exhilarating and terrifying. What would she do if there were no boundaries? What would she chase after then?
For a moment, the sharp edge of her usual confidence dulled as she felt something else—something closer to longing. “Well,” she began, voice softer than usual, “maybe I’d keep running. But not from anything... from nothing." She paused, meeting his gaze with a rare vulnerability. “Maybe I’d go to the places I’ve only ever dreamed of, without worrying what I might leave behind. I could stand on top of a mountain and feel the wind all around me, no walls, no boundaries.”
Her eyes narrowed slightly, smirking again, the walls returning. “But I’m not some lost pup who needs saving, Cypher.” She shifted, trying to regain her old, sharp self, but there was a hint of something else now, a new layer to the challenge she’d thrown his way. “So, what about you? You talk about me breaking rules, but what would you do without all the pack’s expectations? Ever think about what you’d really want?”
Her words hung in the air, a mix of playful bravado and genuine curiosity. She knew he was watching her carefully, his unreadable gaze like a challenge in itself. But Destiny felt it—there was something real between them now, something more than just teasing, even if she wasn’t sure what it was yet.
Destiny’s eyes flickered over to Cypher for a brief moment before she turned her attention fully to Kiyu, the young wolf's words pulling her back into the present. The playful challenge in her voice never fully left, but the edges softened slightly as Kiyu dropped the elk leg at their paws. Destiny’s lips curled into a smile as she let out a light chuckle.
"Good morning, Kiyu," she greeted, her tone carrying warmth but still sharp enough to keep the playful tension in the air. She gave a brief nod toward Cypher, her gaze lingering on him for a heartbeat longer than necessary, before returning her focus to the elk leg. "That was quite the delivery, bringing this all the way here." She allowed her eyes to trail down to the meat with an approving look before meeting Kiyu’s gaze again.
Her playful smirk returned, eyes narrowing slightly as she leaned in a bit closer, her voice teasing. "But you’re not trying to get me to let everyone else eat first, are you?" She allowed the silence to hang in the air for just a moment, then added, "Well, I suppose I could share... if Cypher is up for it." The words were light, but Destiny’s gaze was sharp, as if daring him to respond.
She could feel the space between them stretch again, that flicker of something real lingering in the air, even as she kept her usual confident front. It wasn’t just teasing anymore. There was something more beneath it, something waiting to unfold. But for now, she would keep up the challenge, at least until she was ready to let it slip.

Blaze let the silence stretch for a moment, his mind replaying Nova’s words. She was right in many ways—no pack could be held together by only one individual’s strength. The fact that she was willing to shoulder the burden of leadership despite everything she’d inherited from Liberty spoke volumes. Blaze admired that, even if he never said it outright. He could see how much the responsibility weighed on her, but he also knew she was more than capable of carrying it.
"Yeah, no real purpose," Blaze agreed, though his voice carried a mix of humor and something more solemn. His eyes briefly flickered to the ground before meeting hers. "I’m sure you’re not the only one who felt that way when Liberty was in charge. It always seemed like his way was the only way... but then you stepped up, and we have a new chance to make something better."
Blaze’s tone softened, his expression growing more serious. He knew that Nova didn’t need to hear empty praises; she was strong, capable, and fierce in her own right. But it was important for her to know she wasn’t alone, that Blaze would be there to support her through all of it. He couldn’t speak for every wolf in the pack, but Blaze was loyal, and that was what mattered most. As Nova turned her focus to the delicate balance of the treaty, Blaze nodded in agreement, his brow furrowing slightly. “Tipping over like a newborn pup,” he repeated with a small, dry laugh, though his smile didn’t reach his eyes. He wasn’t blind to the challenges. “The stakes are high. With so many different wolves, egos, and loyalties at play, one wrong move, and it could all fall apart. But I trust you, Nova. I trust you to keep us grounded.”
There was a quiet assurance in his words, a vow to stand by her no matter what. Nova had the vision, and Blaze believed in her leadership. He had to, for the sake of the pack and for their future. When their conversation shifted to the pack’s adjustment to everything—Niko, the pups, the changes—it brought a weight to Blaze’s chest. "It’s a lot for him," he said softly, his tone almost wistful. "For all of us. But he’s not alone in it. We all have our burdens." He let his gaze linger on Nova he wanted to tell her everything, how he was feeling, how he felt suffocated however he had an appreciation for her empathy and understanding. She had a knack for seeing the bigger picture and recognizing how deep the wounds ran. "He’ll adjust. It’ll take time, but he’s strong. Stronger than most."
Blaze glanced over at the pups, who were busy playing in the distance, and felt a quiet pride stir in him. He was honored to be part of the guardianship for Niko, Gauge, and the pups. The weight of it wasn’t lost on him, and he would carry that responsibility without hesitation. "I won’t let him fall," Blaze reassured, his voice unwavering. "I've got him. Always." Blaze flicked an ear, sure he would assist and be a decent role model for the pups Gauge took in, however if you asked Blaze truly- the only one he claimed and would claim as his was Niko.
As Nova’s attention shifted once more to the scout mission, Blaze hesitated before responding. He met her gaze, sensing the underlying question in her eyes. “It was quiet out there,” Blaze began, his voice steady. "Too quiet, honestly. But we did manage to find Dante and Eros." There was a hint of disappointment in his voice as he spoke of the mission. "I was hoping for something more... something to shift the tides a little, but there was nothing major. No new threats or signs of trouble. Still, it left me uneasy. Finding them so easily seemed too good to be true. "
He paused for a moment, then glanced over at Nanuq as he approached. Blaze dipped his head slightly in acknowledgment, noticing the concerned look on his fellow packmate’s face. "Niko’s gone off on his own?" Blaze asked, his concern growing as Nanuq explained his reasons for leaving. He turned to Nova, his brow furrowing with a shared worry. "I know he’s strong, but... he’s young. He doesn’t always see the dangers lurking around the corner. I’ll go check on him if you want. Better safe than sorry, right?"
He met her eyes once again, and his gaze softened. "We’ve all been through a lot, but we’ve made it this far. We’ll keep going, no matter what comes our way." Blaze's voice was steady now, the hint of a smile curling at the corner of his lips as he added, "I’m not backing down, and neither are you.". He watched as Nanuq walked off to find Niko. Perhaps Blaze was crowding the young wolf too much - he didn't know how to be a parent, he didn't have parents for the longest time. He was still new to all of this.

River kept her stride steady as they approached the camp, but her gaze lingered on Hyuuga for a moment, her expression softening. She could sense his hesitance—there was something about him that didn’t fully settle into the present, as if he were still holding on to something from the past. It wasn’t hard to figure out that he was still grappling with the weight of everything that had happened. She had seen that kind of reluctance before, in others, and she understood it.
When he glanced at her, River offered a reassuring smile, her tail flicking a little in a relaxed gesture. She wasn’t sure if he would respond to it, but she wanted him to know that there was no rush. "Ready for what, exactly?" River asked softly, though it wasn’t a question she expected him to answer right away. “You’ve already been through a lot, and we’re here for you—however long it takes.”
Her voice was calm, gentle even, but there was a quiet authority to it. River wasn’t a leader in the traditional sense, but she had always been a rock for others when they needed it, a constant when the world around them shifted too fast. She could tell Hyuuga needed that, even if he didn’t know it yet. Her eyes flicked back toward the camp, noticing the familiar scents and sounds of home. It was strange to think about how much had changed over the moons, how different everything felt now. But in the end, they were still family. They would rebuild, just as they always did.
"Whenever you’re ready," she added, her tone inviting, but not pushing. "We’ve got time."
