Lost Creek Hollow blackbird song is over now

sorry this took me so long to get up! i fell asleep lol. ;_;

It was the early evening when he had set off from his den, this time on a mission of sorts. It was half from Harlyn with the simple pretense of taking some herbs and spared meat, but also to sate whatever concerns he had of his own. The cougar had torn through their ranks repeatedly now, and the bitter taste that was in his mouth was not from the herbs he carried gingerly along. It soured his stomach, and that feeling did not ebb away until he was met with the acrid scent of wherever it was that @Shikoba had been housed.

His steps were slow and careful as he drew near, a questioning whine proceeding him. He had no particular idea of just how she would receive him, though any passing interaction they had before such a tumultuous event had been good. The pups had liked her and in turn, Mordecai felt a certain kinship as well to the wolf who had risen steadily in their ranks. But now? He only had a stark reminder of how changed they had all been by that cougar.

And so he lingered, waiting through thick seconds for a reply.
