Silvertip Mountain paradise

Skyfall accepted the utterance of her name with a simple nod, and then moved his paws to follow her as she began their ascent. While he had not intended to pair up with another so soon after his arrival, Tonravik seemed worthy of his following. He wasn't loyal to her, not yet, but with time he could come to respect her abilities as a leader. Already she was leading him to their first hunt together, and he followed willingly.

There was no reason he should not be loyal to her, in time. Skyfall wondered how long it would take for their companionship to turn into something more demanding, the give-and-take of a leader and a follower. Skyfall had never been cut of leader material. It was true that he was the son of the delta pair, but the position of alpha, of anyone, had never been part of his genetic material.

It was good that he had found Tonravik, then.
