Nocturnal and her raven-friend Tulugak weren't alone in their quest for food. It was his first season being alive and providing for his own this winter and Epic was in a struggle with the blissful cold and with a never-satisfied hunger. Every opportunity was one he would have to take, he didn't have the luxury to keep seated and ignore the pangs of hunger. Every pang felt like an annoying earthquake or a lion's roar. It was not only very annoying but frustrating as well. Sadly, today he saw no prey; nothing, nada, zilch.
"Well, that's just dandy." He scoffed, kicking a bit of snow up in the air. "No prey, no food, no nothing." Suddenly his eyes caught the sight of another wolf in the area together with her raven pal. "Hey, I guess I'm not the only one not winning the lottery today; there's hardly any prey around tonight."

For a moment the yearling moped, it was okay to be grumpy sometimes. He was young and he still had a lot to learn. It didn't change anything about the fact that he was hungry and that every once in a while his empty belly rumbled with a ringtone of hunger. Strangely he enjoyed her quiet, single-worded response; he could remain grumpy about being angry or he could accept the fact that sometimes life turned out that way. A raven-bird protectively swung past her and he watched gently, having never seen a fond relationship between a wolf and a bird before. But it was obvious these two had a connection.
"So what's your story? Where are you from?" Faintly a scent lingered upon her that he smelled before; of a pack and pack life. But it was so fresh, not an odor that lingered here long-term. Did it mean a pack was just starting out around these parts? There were twelve packs that settled down around these parts and he had yet to see, learn and meet many of them.
Although the other wolf wasn't very talkative, he didn't feel quite welcome either. It wasn't like he expected the other wolf and her raven friend to roll out the red carpet but he was undecided what to make of the situation. His first question was only answered to a bare minimum; a single word. Then, when he showed more interest in her background she made it obvious that it was a no-go zone area. That was fine, he respected that. Still, there was no interest in his presence in return. No acknowledgment either as she completely turned away; placing her snout into the bush-bush.
"Do you want me to leave?" Epic said, having asked such question out of politeness. Regardless, she had probably already answered by her own actions.
