City's Burning

While Arverk was not as large a wolf as Iqniq was, he still managed to push the russet male off balance, enough for him to stagger and stumble before he steadied himself once more. The whale himself had backpedaled and stumbled, causing him to half fall onto  the ground before he pushed himself up again, blinking at his victim. The swarthy whale was greeted with an affectionate nudge from the Alpha Male. Was he the only one that had heard the leader's howl? Where were the others? Were they still lost in this horrible, damning storm?

He joined Iqniq and shook his head in silent reply to the fiery meteor's question. "No, didn't see no one until I bumped into you," he said in his lightly accented tone. Somehow, even in this mess, he found it amusing that most of the names the Alpha Male uttered — no, strike that. He found it amusing that most of the names in Ouroboros Spine started with the letter A. Obviously, he didn't tell the russet wolf that because it would be highly inappropriate of him to do so when most of the pack was still missing, so he kept his thoughts to himself.

Kroc appeared, accompanied by Kapvik. He flashed a glance at the brown furred wolverine and managed to shoot him a relieved grin. It was good to know that his most ruthless sparring partner was still alive.
