Northstar Vale Sincerely Yours, From One of Y'all

He was surprised by the arrival of his ebony friend. The last he had seen her she had been days away from birth. Surely she must have extremely young pups at home. Normally he might have quietly mentioned it, concerned but giving her the benefit of the doubt. But now, now Yuudai was struggling to care. He sat gingerly before he slowly walked his paws forward lowering himself further. The short couple of feet from the den's edge taking his breath away. Yuudai couldn't stand for long periods of time, and he no longer cared whether he appeared weak or not. They had all witnessed his weakness two weeks ago. They had all seen it. Why not give them a reminder.

At Vespera's words, Yuu simply scowled dropping his head and staring at the ground. "It doesn't matter now Vespera." His words were biting, sharp almost. "It's over." He conceded, his eyes shutting softly. "He won." The words carried on his breath, ultimately defeated.
