Stone Circle it's about time we had some fun

Day had been hunting on his own for the first time since getting back home. Already, he'd put a fat vole and a rabbit into the cache nearest to Steady's den - he wanted the alpha to know that he would do better, that he still cared for his first family the same as he always had. So the first fruits of his labor went to the cache, even though his gut churrned when he thought of how hard the journey had been on his mate.

Now, he hunted for Amber. Valette's words were still burning in his ears - I will do my best to provide meals for you - and it made Day sick to his stomach to think of the added pressure he'd put on the rest of his family. True, he hadn't expected a mother and three pups to show up right after his split-second decision, but still. Still.

He didn't want to see anyone suffer. He'd die before he let anyone else.

So when the newbie swam into being at the edge of his vision - and hunting fish, no less - Day trotted forward with very little trepidation. Amber didn't like her, but he wanted to see how this whole 'fishing' thing was done. Besides, he'd been dilligent in carrying out Deirdre's orders, and it seemed to be paying off. He could see better now in the gloom than ever before, and if things kept going this way, he'd soon be able to see fish in the water as well. He'd been keeping this information under wraps, just in case progression stopped or even turned around, but that didn't seem too likely anymore.
