Blacktail Deer Plateau i do not aim with my hand

Kavik nodded his appreciation as he fell into step with the teenager. He couldn't help but notice how tall he had gotten, and it tugged at his heart to think about how fast he was growing; soon, he'd be a yearling, and if his mate was correct in her prediction, he would most likely leave the plateau. Kavik held on to the hope that Illidan would stay with them, at least for a while even after he was old enough to leave, but he wouldn't discourage him from going if that's what he really wanted.

They've been going as well as can be expected, he answered truthfully. Since the bear attack, the alpha had been a little on edge and had felt the same from the rest of the pack, but things were slowly getting back to normal. I've been pretty busy trying to ready us for the winter, he added a second later. There was a lot to do even with help from the others, but he was happy to do it if it meant everyone would be fed and taken care of through the cold season. How about you? How have things been, he asked, rubbing his inky coat on a tree as they walked by it.
