Blacktail Deer Plateau Bored is the Word

Koda shrugged. "Eh, pretty good I guess, just a little bored," he replied. It suddenly occurred to him that he'd never spoken with Lasher before. He didn't know if the dark wolf even knew his name.

He'd been with the plateau for a few months, but he still hadn't made any meaningful connections with his pack mates. There had been a lot going on, and he'd tried to help out when he could, but it felt awkward, as if he was forcing the interactions. He felt as if he could slip away one night, and not one of them would notice he had gone. 'Until the caches start to get empty,' he thought bitterly.

"You look busy, I won't bother you," said Koda. Lasher was only here talking to him now because Koda had caught him trying to sneak by. Why did it always have to be up to him to initiate conversations with his pack mates?
