Blacktail Deer Plateau Bored is the Word

last post from me, sorry for the wait.

"Nothing really," answered Koda. "Just that it's somewhere south from here." Another topic he really didn't want to discuss, as he was still a bit disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see the caldera for himself. The trip had been official pack business, but he'd been hoping to spend a little time inside the borders, seeing what was so great about the place that made half the pack leave the plateau.

Maybe he wasn't feeling up for a conversation today. The gray wolf padded alongside the black male in silence, quietly thinking up an excuse to get away. "Sorry, I'm just not feeling well," he said. It wasn't untrue, Koda was down in the dumps and it seemed nothing could pull him out of it. All he wanted to do was sleep away the rest of the day, and hope that tomorrow would be better. "I'm gonna go back to my den. See ya later."

He dismissed himself with a polite nod and split off on his own. As he strode through the trees, he suddenly remembered he didn't actually have his own den.
