Silvertip Mountain I dream of seeing the world

FitzDutiful heard the howl ring out and it concerned him. Why would any of their wolves announce they were leaving unless they never intended to come back? FitzDutiful wasn't a strict alpha, he didn't expect every wolf to stay in the pack lands indefinitely. No, they were all free to explore for as long as they liked as long as they returned at least once per turn of the moon. Of course, those with the higher ranks would probably be around more often but a messenger had a vital role to play and could be forgiven their extended absences.

So FitzDutiful pulled himself away from Zaria and headed towards Alastor's call. He arrived just in time to see Steady ask the question, you're leaving and as he approached, FitzDutiful let his eyes wander of Alastor. He had been with them for a long time. "For good?" he asked, deciding that he wanted to know explicitly. Did Alastor just think he needed approval to leave for a time or was he leaving them forever and if so, more importantly, why?
