Morningside Cuesta Nobody panic!

He noticed the woman only seconds before she called to him, only to sink down into the grass. If not for her distinctive markings, he might not have recognized her as pack - the scent of Morningside had all bit vanished from her pelt, and it was not until he had already approached her that he detected it at all.

"Damascus? What happened to you?" he demanded. He only knew her in passing, but Sunspot had been fond of her. Besides - she was pack, and had helped to feed his family when he'd been unable to do so. It worried him that she'd gotten like this under his very nose. Or if not, how long had she been away without his noticing?

Grayday decided then that he needed to make walking the borders a higher priority.
