Redsand Canyon Waiting for a sign

The silence was colder than a brisk winter wind, contrasting with the warmth his body felt. He couldn’t know what to expect from her, whether she might come by or not. He knew he wasn’t welcome at Mereo, not only by Fennec but by the pack in general- so he would be forced to keep his distance. 

He waited for some time, in case she was testing to see how patient he could be. But it seemed as though she’d meant what she’d said- that she was done talking. 

With a heavy heart, he turned and left, returning to the Caldera. He’d have to try another day to get a hold of Killdeer, which troubled him as well, though all he could do was hope that Fennec wouldn’t drive a wedge between them out of spite.
