Waking the lions in me

Julep remained silent while the crew gathered, licking her paws to rid them of any trace of sand. But once Rosalyn spoke up Julep lifted her gaze to find herself joined by only a few other wolves and she glared them over. Smokestep wasn't there yet and Julep didn't really know any of the others by name, which made her feel much like an outsider.

Her eyes jump back to Rosalyn with surprise when the red woman says that Smokestep is gone. Gone? It had to be a joke. Julep kept expecting the woman to say that he would be back soon, but such words never came. She could understand that her cousin would want to go looking for their dear Piper, but ditching his own crew? It was definitive, being a douchebag runs in the Cairn family.

It was only ironic that Rosalyn mentioned how she believed that the crew was supposed to be a family, but without Smokestep and Piper she supposed that Ironsea was the only thing she had left. Most of the talk about raiding was lost as Rosalyn's voice was drowned by Julep's sad thoughts, but she came back to reality when Raptor took his chance to speak. Her duel with Zig was proof that she was, indeed, going soft, but the wolves around her all looked like they could help her deal with that issue. 'Maybe Ironsea won't be that bad without Smokestep' Julep thinks to herself as she contracts some of Raptor's jubilance. She looks at Zig to meet his devilish grin and a sly smile quirks her lip.

'Maybe it won't be bad at all'
