Stone Circle Start of something good

Day thought about going to join Steady and Valette, but his row with Steady was still too new, and he didn't want to invite the man's anger by approaching him just yet. Too, he thought of curling up near Addie and taking a long nap - but he already felt accused of treachery, and didn't want to seem like he was living on the pack's hospitality. He was a functional member of the pack, and he was going to damn well show it.

Stretching his legs, he trotted away from the throng and toward the borders, lifting a leg here and there to strengthen the scent of the pack. For the most part, he worked behind Steady's back. While he didn't want to seem lazy, it also seemed like a good idea to stay out of the man's line of sight. Maybe if Day just stayed in the background long enough, Steady would forget he even existed, let alone that he was angry.

Still - somehow - it was without sorrow or bitterness that he took to his task. It was a bright, sunny day, and things would look even better in the morning. Eventually, he thought, things will right themselves.
