Blacktail Deer Plateau any colour you like

i'm honestly not sure when this is dated lol

the trio returned to the plateau in much different spirits than they had left. @Easy, he thought, was still cross with him, and there was still lingering, almost resentful feelings between @Dawn and himself that desperately needed to be worked out.

but it would have to wait. it was time to move the rest of the morningsiders out, to head to their new home on the plains.

there was a small sense of disappointment lingering in the pit of his stomach. he had taken to the maplewood, but he knew the thick vegetation and cover would be hellish for grayday to navigate, with what little sight he had left. dawnlark would have to do. if another pack didn't take it over, aditya could at least claim the woods as his own private, unofficial stomping ground.

perhaps he'd go there when dawn decided she didn't want or need him anymore.

his burly body came to a slow halt as they crossed the border, and aditya let out a howl for @Grayday and @Pema, letting them know they'd arrived back all right. he wondered whether they would up and go right this instant, or if there would be a couple days of preparation before takeoff. frankly, he hoped it would be much sooner rather than later.

he gazed down at easy, smiling. "now we get to show everybody what we found." he kept his eyes away from dawn's; he found he couldn't look at her directly. not yet, anyway.
