Whitebark Stream run wild

hope you don’t mind me jumping in! Sorry for the phone post

While he mostly let his sisters dwell amongst themselves in the caverns, Siarut did check on them every so often. It was a habit, and it award him some semblance of comfort to see his family in good spirits and healthy. His visits however were few and far between, and often only awarded him a glimps or two of the pups and one of his litter mates. With the pups growing older and learning important skills from their respective mothers, they spent less and less time within the caverns.

It was on one of these rare visits that Siarut found the den devoid of either sister. Curiousity struck him and he ventured out toward the scent of Shivali, whom he hadn’t seen in sometime. Strangely her scent drifted past the safety of the claim and west, along the outflow of the lake. Sia knew his sister wandering used to be even more pronounced than his own, yet she seemed to have shed her itchy feet after her children had been born.

Her adventures were always interesting and Siarut had a sudden longing to join her for a journey out of pleasure rather than necessity. With this in mind he tracked her scent, following the burbling water as it spilled down hill over the river rocks.

With further surprise he caught his sister amidst a hesitant conversation with a stranger. The dark woman proving yet again that only shaded wolves lurked these areas. Her pelt was a contrast to the two northerners.

“Shivali?” He chuffed quietly as he came up behind her, not wanting the frighten his sister. The girl before them was struck with the scent of smoke, underlined by Aditya and Dawn. Quirking his head to the side, Siarut was a little more apprehensive about the girl. While Morningside and IkKanattuck were on slightly better terms, they were by no means allies. Sia doubted they ever would be. For the moment, they tolerated each other.

Biting his tongue, he waited patiently to piece together any conversation he had missed.
