Moonspear but now's the time to look

Without hesitation, his dark ears tipped towards the older pack mate. ”Oh?” he asked and drew his front half a bit more upright now that he knew he was the one  Rannoch sought. How nice for him to be here, then! ”I know I’m a lucky find,” he grinned, having made it easy from his spot—no ambush, stalking, or teeth this time. He wasn’t in the mood. Just Jarilo, just a little more subdued than his usual beneath new, weighty worries.

”Yeah.. I should,” he answered before uncurling into a catlike stretch. He could use the motivation of someone like Rannoch to patrol with, definitely. It was easier in pairs, too. ”I tried to patrol earlier ‘cause mama says Vela and me will be able to rank with everyone else soon,” he said, feeling his face want to scrunch at how daunting that sounded right now. ”But I don’t know, I didn’t get very far..” as evidenced by the Jarilo-sized warm spot he was parked on. 

Anyway, he pulled himself up to his paws and nimbly hopped beside Rannoch. He swiped a lick beneath the gray male’s chin then pivoted towards the borders he hadn’t gone to yet, ready when he was.
