Silver Creek strange, the way it felt like home - to wander through the dark alone

Cyclone did not move toward him, and he seemed not to want to bother her any more than he already had. The fur along her back did not become unruffled, but her lips lowered and she only followed him now to make sure he would actually leave their claim-in-the-making. She said nothing as she did this, just kept up a few lengths behind him, grey eyes watching as he continued forward.

Once he was well on his way, Cyclone returned to the rest of the group, bedding down and falling into a fitful sleep.
