Swiftcurrent Creek Coast is clear

The creek had grown deathly quiet the last couple of weeks. Fox knew a large part of that had been due to her decision, but she did not let that wear on her too much. The same thing had happened shortly after the cougar incident, and they had come out of that experience stronger than ever. She had no doubt that Tuwawi and Njal would come around, and Bazi already seemed to be on her side (though Fox lacked the knowledge of why Bazi was so seething toward Ferdie and Jace). It was a shame that it had caused a rift between four of the longest-standing members of the pack, but it was only a matter of time before things were mended. With new life on the way, Njal and Tuwawi wouldn't have time to question her motives.

Fox took to the borders, knowing that both Njal and Tuwawi would be busy nesting and preparing for their children—the creek's children. Fox looked forward to meeting them and helping raise them, even if she was unlikely to admit it. Surprise washed over her face when she recognized the scent of Peregrine. This was quickly followed by a grin and a wag of her tail, though she bristled out of instinct. It was a mixed message for sure, but he could probably understand, given he was often on the borders himself.

“Come to retreive your mistress?” she beamed, ears fanning back as she strode toward him. “Or just to return the favor of pissing on the borders?”
