Northstar Vale Sincerely Yours, From One of Y'all

Yuudai was a wreck, and it was obvious from his appearance. His once vibrant lavender gaze grew dull, and his sterling white pelt was scuffed and dirty. He did not look like the daring samurai who had arrived in the wilds all those months ago. No. Now he was burdened with the chaos that his dreams had caved into.

The whine drew his attention. And he lifted his head, casting a lingering glance at his wife huddled as far from him as possible. With only Kazu surviving, Hiromi and himself had found caring for the little boy rather straightforward. But despite them both loving for the boy so deeply, something manifested between the young couple. They no longer laughed or smiled as they once did. They no longer bantered about old times, nor where their quiet whispers about the gossip of the pack. In fact, they didn’t really speak at all. Aside from talking about his injury.

Yuu rose extremely gingerly from his prone spot. His steps were soft, and there was a hesitation with every movement. A stiffness to his actions. He was far from better, but he could at least exit the den. Which he did now. To find Collision outside. “Collision.” The soft spoken man called, beckoning him closer, and Yuudai met him half way.

Yuudai was slowly discovering a friend in Collision, and he was incredibly touched that the man had stood beside him. When Vespera has told him after the fact. Yuudai had been speechless. Collision had stood his ground, joining Yuu’s treasonous and disasters stand-off. Earning his own demotion, alongside Yuudai’s. The disgraced man hadn’t spoken with his brother-in-arms since the meeting, and was concerned by the sudden visit.
