Cairo || 6 || Band || M: Sierra, Czar, Syl (will be making her)

His cool eyes rested on Czar's frame and he tilted his head to the side slightly. Cairo paused in his wanderings, turning to face the other male, and then moved into a sitting position. "What?"

His question seemed abrupt, even to him, and he took a moment to look back on his day. No, he wasn't in a bad mood... Just tired, he supposed. He made no effort to fix his tone, however, and allowed his blank stare to rest on Czar. His eyes were drawn away again, however, as Sierra made her appearance.

He listened, flicking an ear, and then yawned. Halfway through his maw parting, he sighed, "Invade? That's a strong word. I prefer..."

He closed his mouth and smiled lazily. "...Secure."

A small snort in response to his comment brought his attention to yet another band member, Sylphrena. The young female rolled her eyes and responded, "That's a synonymous word, Cairo."

He chose to ignore her.

Sylphrena || 3 || Band || M: Cairo, Czar, Sierra

The white female shrugged a shoulder and stretched out in the dirt, orange eyes shifting between the three other wolves nearest her.

"That's assuming we can get above the pack. Their main hub is halfway up a mountain, and most of us don't blend in with the rock. If there are any wolves in camp who happen to spot us, all advantage would be lost. We're outnumbered. While they might not trust each other at the moment, they're still the greatest pack out here," she stated. "They haven't maintained this good of a territory for this long by being nice."'

She snapped a bone between her teeth with a resounding crack. Syl watched Cairo sigh and get back up, and her eyes followed him.

"I, for one, would rather wait for them to weaken. We need to move before the snow sets in, but we have time until then. If they break more internally, we might not even have to put up much of a fight," the male announced, shaking out his scarred pelt. "Infiltration would be an option, but it takes time for a wolf to be accepted... Especially when they smell like other wolves."

Kalypso | Beta Female | 5 | Mentions: Fox , Storm

A darkly colored female ambled around camp. Her quiet gaze resting among the members of the pack. She has been the Beta for a good while now and has established a sort of trust and bond with the pack. They should know her by now and how she expects things to move. They had a successful hunt earlier and others had brought in smaller prey items which was good, but another hunt would be due as it appeared some members hadn't gotten a chance to eat yet. As she watched the pack, she devised a plan to organize a hunt, she would have a wolf scout and come back with news on prey and then organize a hunt while other wolves patrolled to make sure no foreigners were on their territory. It was a solid plan. And she bobbed her head in a final agreement.

" Attention everyone. We are going through trying times, but we have to remain strong for Winter is coming and we face the threat of rumored loners. We must be on high alert. As of now a hung and patrol will be issued : Slade and Kappa, you two are on patrol duty, make sure our borders are safe and report supsicious activity immediately. Storm, Kyrie , and Char will be assisting in the hunt. That is all from me today, I believe everything else should be in order?"

She looked to Larkspur for approval in her orders, but before she could catch her response a red pelted female stepped forward with an arrogant stance.

" I was going to lead a patrol since it would be in the interest of the pack to have a new Beta female ." She sneered at Kalypso who only gave a unamused smile.

Kalypso stood to her full height, and she gracefully walked to the female. It would appear she had no malicious intent, but one could feel the anger and disappointment radiating through her body language. She curled her lips to reveal her fangs in a snarl and swiftly used her paw to swipe at the female and then tackle her to the ground.

" I am the Beta Female of this pack, not you. So you should mind your tongue and stay in your place. " she said in a stern, yet venomous tone after letting the female up she the turned to the pack, " and that goes for all of you. Don't think I am deaf to what you've been saying. You should really watch yourself with how you speak about your Alpha."

She then huffed and prepared to depart with her group.

As the sky grew darker, so did the black wolf. If it weren't for his base coat to be peaking in between his markings, he'd become a shadow himself. Although, his movements itself could also not allow him to be so. With his height and weight, the male doesn't bother with graceful steps. He isn't clumsy surprisingly. Even if he is one of the biggest in the pack, Mateo refuses to throw his weight around. He'd rather die than become one of the many cocky young males he's been around during his lifetime.

As his heavy steps crunch the few fallen leaves, the sounds of his pack mates caught his attention. They don't tend to be this loud unless orders were being given out. Hopefully he was put on patrol duty this time. The last hunt forced Mateo to a bit more effort than usual to take down the Elk. It's a curse and a blessing to be his size.

Taking his spot under a tree, he waited to figure out where he'll be this time. His fluffy ears turned about; waiting for the sound cue of a certain wolf approaching him.

Camilla wandering about when she heard the group gather. Knowing how these meetings can be important, she headed her way to see what all the noise was about. She's well aware that her role prevents her from going out the rest of her mates, but likes to participate either way to show support. She also likes to see Mateo off to whatever task he's been assigned. Sort of like a good luck ritual she has.

She looked around the camp as she tried to spot her big brother. You'd think a wolf his size could be easily spotted, but he always manages to hide in plain sight. Her light brown eyes soon spotted the other omega, Kappa. Maybe she knows where her brother is.

"Hi, Kappa!" A joyous tone forming the words. The she-wolf practically bounced over to the other. "Have you seen my brother around? I just got here and I don't know if he arrived before I did." Her eyes gave the area a quick glance before changing her focus to Kappa. Once she did, a thought came into Camilla's head that maybe asking Kappa wasn't the greatest idea. Camilla would overhear sometimes of Kappa not liking her current physical condition. She didn't intend on offending the poor wolf. The other omega was the first wolf she spotted, so she thought she might as well ask. The young wolf also thought Kappa would like some company.
