Aleks confirmed that he was alone, but then asked the dreaded question. Was she? 

Grezig sighed. “I’m a member of the Blacktail Deer Plateau pack, up there.” She motioned with her head to the plateau in the distance. “But I…” She paused. Was it wise to share her thoughts with a stranger? Did it even matter at this point? She would be speaking the truth, and who would it hurt? “I plan on leaving soon. I am the beta there, but things have become… tense. So.” She sat up a little straighter. “I do not know where I will be going yet, and haven’t told them anything, but…” She shrugged, such a noncommittal gesture. Maybe she wouldn’t tell anyone. Maybe she was under no obligation to let them know anything. Fuck them all.

But in her heart she knew she would end up telling them, probably call a meeting to let everyone know at once. Maybe have a few heartfelt goodbyes alone with one or two of them. She worried most for the boy. @Illidan. Would he, perhaps, leave with her? Was it selfish to think something like that? He was just as much Liri’s and Kavik’s as he was Grezig’s. But really… he belonged to no one. 

She sighed, having forgotten that Aleks was even there.
