Blacktail Deer Plateau Let's blow this popsicle stand!

Koda's injuries forced him to move at painfully slow pace, but the pair of wolves made good their escape (though no one was actually in pursuit of them). Once they'd put a comfortable buffer between themselves and the plateau, the gray wolf requested a short pause to catch his breath and drink from a nearby puddle. Then, once he'd gathered his composure, he recounted the events that had led up to this moment.

"Dante and I go into it about some shit I said to Saena," he admitted, still in disbelief that his careless comment carried such weighty consequences. "Things got heated, and then he fucking lunged at me. Did this to me." Koda said as he turned his injured shoulder toward Kesuk so she could see the damage.

"I fought back and beat the shit outta him, left im bleedin' in the dirt," he continued, a little pride leaking into his voice as he spoke of his victory. "Gave him a few parting words and then I went to find you."
