Blackfoot Forest ROLE CALL · River seeks the deep

The large black female lifted her head from sniffing the forest floor. She heard a faint echo of what sounded like Pied's voice. She's calling you to help determine the fate of the pack. Hawkeye nodded, lifting her head to the sky, sun dappling her ebony fur, and let out a response that told Pied she would be there soon.

Breaking into a gallop, she watched her surroundings for anyone else who might have heard Pied's call. How many of them were left? And where had Jinx gone? Hawkeye knew that leaving the pack was an act of betrayal for the members, but what would Jinx's consequence be if she and her scent were nowhere? And would the pack disband or stick together? A whimper escaped Hawkeye's throat with a rough sound. She had felt so included with this pack, and she didn't want it to end.

As she arrived in a slow trot, she saw a strange bird, but turned her attention toward her friend. "Hello, Pied," she spoke gently. "It seems as if we are the only ones here so far." She left everything else to silence, feeling as if talking would put too much energy into sadness at the moment.
