new moon rising

For @Kieran

He paced – it was a mild day, compared to others, though he knew winter would soon be upon them. The sky was clouded, though a storm did not seem to threaten them. Inhaling softly, the male rolled his shoulders back, attempting to release some of the tension between them. He would need to gather the pack soon – to discuss many things. Primarily, Paarthurnax’s presence and pregnancy, and, the ever looming presence of Shadow with it. He hated to put her on the spot.. but her companions were entitled to know if trouble was brewing.

They also had a right to know that Bazi was back. Many had been disappointed when the ivory Alpha had fled from them – and while he held no question that this was her home.. he wanted to make sure others realized it too. Finally, he wanted to announce Kaskara’s promotion to Beta – it was something he should have done awhile ago, but had not wanted to hinder her desire to scout.

With a low chuff to himself, the cinnamon wolf sat uneasily at the Creek’s edge, one creamy paw lifting to toy with the waters.
