Blacktail Deer Plateau Mispers

For any BDP wolf - takes place a day after this thread.

Valtýr had been up most of the night and now lazed, strung out across the roots of his favorite maple tree. His body ached and energy waned — symptoms of a growing boy — yet the dull pain could hardly erase what he had been witnessed to just the day prior. Saena had openly challenged Osprey, circling around him in the process, and the teen could still remember the hair raising on his neck. It was funny to him that the specific memory of her rugged touch was far more vivid than Osprey's move to send the Blacktail to the floor.

The firefoot rolled onto his back, a bit perplexed, and watched the clouds drift by.

Oh hello! Jumping in here instead of catching up because... reasons XD shortish post is shortish

There was no way to have known that Dante and Valtyr's thought traveled the same path, but as the Alpha traversed his territory (much more carefully today), he too recollected back to the previous day. A large part of him regretted how he'd handled it, but he knew he was incapable of doing anything differently.

Seeing Valtyr, Dante remembered that the boy had been present. It had been a while since he'd spoken with him, and now seemed as good a time as any to check in. "Hey Val!" he greeted him, trotting up. He hoped he wouldn't mind the shortening. "How're things?"
