Stone Circle after the thaw

aw, but just a disclaimer, Zeke is pretty depressed right now and he wasn't the most friendly in the first place. So he might be pretty standoffish

Ezekiel hadn't left his den much since Steady's death. He went out before dawn to patrol the borders, and at dusk to do so again. He participated in hunts only to eat, and he hadn't spoken to anyone, not even Valette or Krypton. Most days he just laid on his bed of grass and slept, or thought about how he should've done something to save Steady. If only he had been here a few days before the alpha male left, he maybe could've at least talked to him, and maybe stopped the attack that had killed him. 

Today was no different than those other days, he walked along the border at dawn, marking the edges of the territory with a cold expression on his face.
