Shadow Mountain i ain't gonna be cookin' all day

Before he is given an answer, the form of a black female comes into view and he stares at her for a moment. It is the slow, calculated walk of Asterr coming for him and he doesn’t let his gaze fall away and he doesn’t have a concern in the world to run. Just like last time, he will not move. She does not own him anymore.

Ukko licks his lips and as she gets closer, his ears shift upon his head. She comes into focus and Asterr is gone. He blinks a few seconds, realizing it had been someone else entirely the whole time and he glances to his first companion and back again.

”I see,” he says evenly, letting a moment ease since his former mate disappears from his mind. ”Are there other packs nearby?” he asks a beat later, hoping to sound curious enough for what threat sits on the other side of the mountains.
