Blackfeather Woods PERFECTLY calm

Akela wished this conversation to have lasted longer. Yet , despite wishing so, he was not on Burke's top list of priorities right now. He was not jealous, just  regret that the alpha was willing to only stay in the den, while  he had to do much of the work and see that the pack was safe. Protecting a den was one thing, staying glued to it, was another. Yet he kept quiet about the matter and stood up.  The tease did go into a deaf ear, Akela, as much as he liked kids, did not want to see those pups until they grew older. It was for his own good, selfish this time, but it was also for the best. "Maybe" he gave as answer and then gave the alpha a nod.  "I shall provide dinner in a few hours...as usual. For now, my resting spot awaits. " he spoke and gave his farewell to Burke with an friendly bump into his shoulder, then walked away.
