OOC: Hi!
Her shadow had been more effected by the intrusion than perhaps anyone realized, but she had seen the follow effects each day that passed. There were few moments when she was not at his side, his faithful and diligent light, and the moments she was, she did her best to bring his calm. But the incident was never far from his mind, eliciting his rage. The borders were taken underpaw with more vigil. The rounds to the caches and to each member became more routine if not regular. Together they ensured that the pack and land were kept whole even to the point that the woman feared her companion would drive himself into the ground. Though, she would not have known his strongest motivation was their soft-spoken Alpha. And even had she, she would have been none the less worried.
In vain, she had hoped for a change in this pace, but it was not to be once they came across an unknown scent. Xi’nuata needn’t look to him to know that the behemoth’s body was wound tight, nor glance upon his muzzle to see the anger rising. She let him go ahead of her and stuck to the shadows herself, creeping quietly with newfound finesse to take another view. Again, what she found was a wolf at the borders in the night though her coat was brighter than the last making her more easily spotted in the waning light.
She watched with care, slipping just adjacent to the female to keep both her and Raheerah within view. Her ears were forward, attentive, grasping not only the conversation but the whispers of the earth as well as it descended into deeper night. Her eyes drifted between the two, remaining cautious, and at times to glance beyond their borders for signs of any other life. Lupine or otherwise. |
