Horizon Ridge anathema [j]

This thread is winding down in any case, so I'm going to fade here, as I'm tying up loose ends with Akhlut/leading HR. =)

Akhlut spoke as they trotted along in the dark, every so often throwing back a concerned glance to make sure the girl was keeping up alright. "There aren't yet, but we're growing as a pack. I myself do the work of an Outrider sometimes, working to keep the territory secure and going to seek out other packs and meet their leaders." His voice drifted on into the night, and soon enough they came across a cache with food enough for each of them. Near a small stream, Akhlut settled down for the night, and whether Inkenoah chose to remain close by or to wander in the territory that was her new home, Akhlut did not know; having gauged the female as not a risk to himself or his pack, he fell soon into a deep and peaceful sleep.
