Stone Circle see ya in another life, brotha

Murdock was caught off guard by Nikai's question. No one had ever really asked him why he left - only what it was like. But a moment later, he'd composed himself, and he offered the younger wolf a wry grin. "A good woman," he replied succinctly, "and then a very bad one."

But that was as far as he was willing to get into the subject, and he tried to make this very clear by turning - with interested mostly unfeigned - to listen to Sunny's tale. It was a short and a little sad, but not anything Murdock felt he had to comment on. He almost made mention of his own Grayday - a young brother that'd struck out on his own a few years before - but decided that it would derail the conversation more than it would add to it. Besides, Grayday was a common enough name. Nikai probably had a Gray in his family, too.

"Well, it seems like I'm the odd one out," said Murdock, not feeling any worse for it. The conversation moved back toward hunting, and the male had to stop himself from laughing at the young wolf's suggestion to drown the turkeys. "Why not just snap its neck?" he asked, doing his best to keep a straight face. He thought better of the question a moment later. "Never mind. Why don't you and Nik here pen them in. I'll kill 'em."
