Redtail Rise Shelter

Arion could feel the stares of his leaders on his pelt, whether they were concerned looks or searching ones he did not know, nor did he care but he could guess. He avoided Reek and Saena's eyes and only observed the rest of the pack arriving. Their numbers were dwindling; they were down to six now. Lacinia was gone (good riddance), which the stallion was secretly glad about despite the fact that they were now one wolf less. He didn't like her one bit, and he had a feeling if she was one of them she would only bring them more and more trouble.

When Saena started speaking, he lifted his proud chocolate crown, pricked his ears and listened intently to her words. She spoke of the events that had taken place in Larksong Grotto and about what Sebastian had said when they confronted him. Even though it had been in the past, Arion still felt blinding anger at how that greyscale Caldera male had managed to escape with his life and a rush of sadness at Junior's murder.

When Saena told them that they shouldn't go out of their way to chase any Redhawk Caldera wolf who dared venture to the North, Arion wanted to stand up and object. Any wolf from that pack did not belong here, did not belong in the entirety of the north of Teekon Wilds. They should be chased off immediately, should be killed on sight, they should be exterminated from their domain. But Arion refrained from speaking, instead remained silent. Because however much he wanted revenge, he recognized the fact that going out of their way to attack them was a stupid move for the pack. And the last thing he wanted, no, the last thing the pack needed was a full scale war with the Caldera.

Arion flicked his ears forward and shoved the thoughts of his head as Saena informed them of their new group mission which was to explore their surroundings. Fair enough. He had been wanting to go and explore anyways, and this just gave him a reason to leave the packlands. The stallion gave a nod to his leaders, indicating that he understood. Though truth to be told, he would rather be alone in his exploration.
