Hushed Willows oh lazarus, how did your debts get paid?

Don't know if this was private or not, but Trick is still in charge of the borders, and he would not be doing his job if he wasn't responding to a call :)

Though it was not his duty to recruit new members -yet-, Trick's job was to mark the borders and make sure the dad of little Tammy wasn't planning anything malicious. It was not because he cared about the bloody thing and his mother, nor because he was so damn cute, it was because of his desire to take over one day. He had also heard rumors of a new recruit becoming an alpha, and that only enraged him further. What was this Tavi thinking? Recruits had to prove themselves worthy just like any other, and Trick -despite his hard work, sacrifices and "good spirit", hadn't even been asked to be a beta! He growled at himself in annoyance. Never would he have imagined him missing Warbone.

As he was marking the borders, just like every old day, staring at the new life sprouting that was the same springy color as his eyes, a howl drove his head to swirl around to locate it. He snorted. Right, a new recruit again, but he could hear that the one calling wasn't calling the "more superior" ruler of the marauders. It was for the other "alpha", if you could call it that, and now he was really pissed off. Everything here was turning to shit without Warbone. Damn it, where was the brute when you needed him?!

Trick quickly trotted to the side of the borders where he thought the loner was, only to find out he was too late to meet the older, thin and sharp male. He was too late to hear the new "alpha's" words, and let a forced smile take over his handsome face. No one could tell it was faked, he made sure of that, and he took his place besides yet far from close to the female who now called herself a leader. He kept his tail lower than hers, yet higher than the loner at their borders, not knowing they were connected in any way. Good morning, m'lady, gentleman. He greeted with a nod to both wolves before him.
