Neverwinter Forest Bandages

@Goliath

No sign or trace of either Lucy or Rannoch had been found- nor had they been able to find any sign of Scimitar, which was quite worrying, especially to Shrike who had just lost an alpha. This was another alpha who had, in one way or another, vanished. Peregrine had perished, of course, which was a major difference; he tried to reassure Allure that Scimitar wasn't missing, but that he'd simply gone looking for Rannoch and Lucy. He sympathized with Allure who felt the pain of losing both a younger sibling and her father. He was glad to be there for her, during this tough time, and appreciative that she had let him stay with her until her father returned and could grant him a permanent home. 

Needless to say, Shrike felt it was better to support his beloved Allure by patrolling the borders, rather than leaving the pack and going searching while their alpha was absent. A pack without an alpha was leaderless- though Allure was the highest ranking wolf and therefore in charge in Scimitar's absence, their true leader was gone. He would not let this pack fall apart- not after he'd just lost a pack for doing something he- and many others- deemed both rational and noble. His confidence was rebuilding itself with the support of others who felt he'd done the right thing, and he set about patrolling the borders that sunny, albeit slightly chilyl afternoon with renewed purpose.
