He quickly lashed out, catching one with one paw while he bit hard on the other's neck. "There." He calmed, and began licking his paw to clean off the blood. "This should be enough prey to explain our absence. But... Daisy, how am I gonna tell Felisha about this? I mean, seeing a loner... and having pups with a loner... that's a double offense, and two of the worst ones! I don't regret my decision, but... if I get kicked out of the pack, it will be much harder to care for Wander." He whined with worry.

"If you get kicked out, I'm comming too." She and Sparrowhaw had benn friends for as long as she could remember. "You and Wander will need some help caring for four pups." She picked up her mouse and started heading back to the dens.

He gave her a hopeful half-smile, then cocked his head as she added the part about four pups. "How do you know there's gonna be four?" Was it some strange she-dog power? How did she know?

Daisy chuckled, "I don't have powersif thats what you were thinking. Her belly's too small for more than six pups, and four is just the average."

"Oh." He said, still convinced she had powers. But four pups! That was his dream. Four little pups who would run up to him, yipping and playing with his tail, four little pups who he could care for... but still. They were his pups, but they were Wander's too. And she was a loner, no matter how much like a pack dog she seemed. He sighed, his tail drooping.

He dropped his two mice in the pile, and flicked his ears back as he waited for the camp to wake up. The pile was looking pretty small today, he felt bad for the omega. Even he probably wouldn't get much more than a mouse, with this meager stash. He wished that he'd caught more. Anyway, he heard Falcon, and he hoped the alpha and beta would be up soon so he could discuss Wander with them. Till then... he considered for a moment, then pounced on Daisy, playfully nipping at her ears.

This has been a chaotic time. I can fell my belly swelling. I think I am expecting. I hear Wander howl. "Wander? Is that you?" I say. I walk towards her den.
