Moonspear Walls coming down

It wasn't long until a yip reached his ears, and his gaze settled on his Beta. Dash's ears folded on his lowered head and his tail wagged in greeting. Floki! he said happily. Thank you for the welcome, he added, glad another pack mate was happy to see him. 

Travels were good, he said with a smile. I found my brother and got to spend some time with him in his pack, he confided easily. While his brother wasn't aware of where their parents and other siblings were, Dash didn't feel sad over that. He was too happy at knowing his brother to be anything but happy. How have things been here? Ame said the core had not really changed, but didn't go into more detail than that, he questioned. His mind was back on Thistle Cloud, but he couldn't quite bring himself to ask outright about her. 

Any animosity Dash had felt before he left about Floki becoming Beta were long since blown in the wind. It was Dash's own lack of confidence that made him feel that way. He knew Floki was a great pack mate, and a better leader. The only thing that had changed was now Dash had a little more confidence about what he could offer Moonspear, and his own place within the pack.
