Blacktail Deer Plateau Tomorrow's not ours to share

Pied listened to Hawkeye's thoughts on the matter of mates, her pale head tilting. When the Alpha finished, she said, "Keep in mind that you have a small pool to work with too. Don't be too hard on yourself or lower your standards." The yearling shifted her weight and made a hmmm noise low in her throat. "I think matchmaking probably falls under my sisterly duties, so I will keep an eye out and send any eligible bachelors your way," she promised lightly.

Pied felt herself growing a little restless, despite the pleasant banter. She wanted to wrap up her loose ends here at the plateau, then make the trek to Horizon Ridge to be with Kisu. Yet she lingered, not wanting to part ways with Hawkeye so soon. This was their last meeting as pack mates and she didn't want to rush it, though she felt the meeting drawing naturally to a close in any case.

"I should start getting ready to make the move," Pied said after a few beats of silence. "I'm not going to leave this instant but there's things I need to do before I go. I'd like to find everyone and say goodbye personally if I can too," she mentioned. "I'll check in with you again before I head out. I'll be back to see you soon, sister," Pied finished, rubbing her nose against the side of Hawkeye's neck and lingering a moment before turning to depart into the forest.
