After Zephyr left, he had felt a bit of tension between he and Takiyok, and not the good kind. Still, he tried to take the opportunity to continue his recuperation. Hunting, usually unsuccessfully, took up a large amount of his time. Most of the time these were solo ventures. Even since his improvements, he had not managed to feel comfortable enough to hunt with others in the pack.
He wondered how Cordelia was settling in, if at all. He wondered why Rowan could not go with Zephyr. He wondered a lot of things that surrounded the dynamics between residents of the strange forest.
Heading back toward the den, he carried a small morsel. It was a chipmunk he had discovered, injured and left there by some other far smaller animal, probably a bobcat. They were the only beasts that bothered to torture animals in this way, despite their superior ability to kill quickly.
As he moved toward it, Takiyok came running from nowhere and smashed herself into his chest. Her eyes were wide and frightened. Something was very wrong. He abruptly dropped the catch and embraced her. Taki! What's going on?! Something horrific must have happened. Again.
