she was givin' them

*Barges in* 8D

Summer was never too far from the captives' den those days. Having not found himself a suitable den in the area, he didn't really feel particularly compelled to return anywhere when it was time for him to rest. So, he obeyed a drive of a different kind, and kept himself near to the spring-eyed girl and her fiery red friend. He wondered often if Jace or Ferdie ever realized he was there, lurking in the shadows, waiting until their backs were turned so he could steal away to say hello. He assumed they probably did, but more likely they had bigger things to worry about than their newest pup's little infatuation--even if it was with the "enemy".

When Ferdie's call rent through the air, Little Levi hesitated. He hadn't specifically been called, but he wasn't that far away already and he knew exactly where everyone was being gathered. He struggled for a moment trying to decide what to do. He clearly was not invited to this gathering, and obedience to authority told him that meant to stay away. But on the other hand... Her face that day they had captured her hovered clearly in his mind--that face of fear and confusion. The boy's little heart ached. Before he realized it, his paws were taking him away and he was slowly approaching the wolves that had already gathered.

As he was, Summer slung his head low, ears folded almost apologetically against the back of his neck. His sunny gaze drifted across the faces that had already gathered. As they landed on Fang, he felt his hackles prickle slightly, for Jace's gaze upon him was one of warning. Turning his attention again, he crept up to Jace and Ferdie on his belly, whining softly and nosing at their chins in acknowledgement and apology of his potential wrong-doing by being there at all.

Once his show was over, his attention flitted right to Magpie. He gave her the briefest of smiles before he strode over and placed himself far enough from her so as not to look too suspicious to his packmates, but also near enough that he hoped she knew he was there for her.
