Phoenix Maplewood Leaving your keys in my car

---

"She survived, yes. She will be unwell for some time though and, the damage to her is rather severe." He remembered seeing her body lying broken on the ground, the cries she gave. How she wanted him to be there. He swallowed thickly.
He should've been there.

He let his ears tilt for a moment before gesturing North, "Permafrost Hollows. My pack will be the Vartija, when we form. I will soon be going o a recruitment drive, hopefully when Keen, my ward, is well enough to travel." There was no way he was leaving her alone at the Hollow whilst he and Wintersbane went for recruits. He doubted he'd be able to tell her to stay anyways.
He licked his lips anxiously, thinking about her. He should get back soon; relocate Ronnie too. Perhaps he'd stay.
"Thank you. I wish you the best." He supposed this female wasn't looking for a pack yet, not if she was promising the possibility of finding him -- yet these days he was surprised often.
