Blacktail Deer Plateau Will you hold the line?

@Grezig

Kavik already considered the plateau theirs; they had been here long enough that if anyone had a problem with it, they surely would have made themselves known. Now, the territory belonged to him and his pack, and Kavik was prepared to protect it at all costs. These were his thoughts as he lowered his head to the river to take a drink. He brought his head back up, moving his tongue across his inky lips to remove the excess water that had gathered there. 

He began to follow the river again, resuming his afternoon trek. He wasn't exactly patrolling; just kind of walking next to the river and learning the the territory that was his. He had certainly calmed down a little now that things seemed to be moving towards a more stable place, but he still felt the weight of being an alpha. It was his responsibility to keep everyone safe, although it wasn't really a new feeling for him; he had felt that way about the pack for a while now, it just weighed more heavily on his shoulders now that there was a territory to worry about. But, he had been implementing some of Elixir's tactics lately and was pleased to find they were helping. He needed to remember to thank her again the next time he saw the wolfdog. That was maybe why he had gone on this scouting walk of sorts; to help soothe his anxiety.
