|Sundown|M|Raven|Medic's Apperentice|M: Ore, Xola, Anya, Brielle|

Sundown glanced towards Ore with his eyes full of anxitey. He wanted to go home. He came up next to Ore. "I'm going to head home, I'm sure that we have wolves I need to check on." His ears flicked back before he nodded and slunk out of the den. He picked up a trot, and headed home. He was careful to avoid Killjoy and Shadow, going far around them before arriving at the river. He took a deep breath and jumped in to the cold water. His thin coat swirled around him as he paddled. He was panting from the effort to keep his head above the water. His ears back to stop water from getting in them.

He pulled himself to the shore, and shook his pelt out. Was that a snowflake? Great. Sundown huffed as he shivered in the cold. This was going to be a great winter. His ears were back as he picked up a steady trot towards camp.

Sundown entered camp, seeing that it was quite empty. He could hear Anya and Flames voices from their den. He did need to go and check on Brielle... So he made his way over. He waited outside for a moment, not meaning to listen into their conversation, but just catching the last few words. It wasn't his job to gossip, so he brushed it off. He took a deep breath, and poked his head into the den. "Good afternoon Flame, Anya. I am here to check up on Brielle." He said, putting his front two paws into the warm den. Ahh it's so warm!

Malicia // Eastern // Queen // Mentions: Illusion // *Thos playing her pups*

Malicia stayed in her den after Illusion followed her to it before promptly leaving to Find the medic. Whom was busy as a bee in the den, and to be honest Malicia wanted no part of the other medics input. Growling softly she bared her canines as her sides rippled harshly.

One by one Each pup was Delivered. 5 total. But, only 3 suckled from her exposed belly. 2 males and one Female. Panting softly Malicia licked them all clean, the two that had passed she gently nuzzled away from the 3 that wriggled happily. Audits perking upon her cranium she rested her cranium upon her paws as her body relaxed the pain subsiding. Her milk supply was great, which meant happy healthy and chunky pups. Hmmm Now to ponder names while she relaxed... Malicia smiled as she wrapped her banner around her 3 live pups. For that she could be thankful, praise the gods that 3 had at least survived.

Mairea

Scout | Female | Mentions : Solaris, Night, Willow, Brute, Shiva

The female chuckled at her mate, he was so cute at times - though she'd never tell him that. There was a rare gentleness in her eyes as she looked at him with amusement, "Patience, my love, we'll find out soon enough what's going on." She said with a soft hum, and she teasingly brushed herself against him - and she slowly swished her tail as she moved about. Her eyes scanning for some sort of sign of others in the camp - but that seemed to not be the case. And she gave a perplexed and annoyed huff at that. Seriously? Had they really all went out without alerting her and her mate, that would be quite rude in her opinion. But that's when the sound of voices caught her attention, two wolves, ah, Willow and Brute. And she gave a confused look as they seemed to just sit in front of them with a certain knowing. A second or two passed and she blinked, they had just say their, not explaining anything and she felt her frustration rising. Her ear flickering back, being the only sign of her annoyance at this fact. She was about to ask them to explain what was going on, when the Alpha came and discussed some plan of a hunt. Usually, the female would take great pleasure in joining a hunt, but as of late she's been feeling . . . off, so she'd rather get her health checked before doing anything that could cause harm to her.

" Good to see you Alpha," she said politely, her voice soft and sweet as could be, " it's unfortunate to hear about a cougar attack - I hope their weren't many injured parties. But I'll have to respectfully decline the invitation to the hunt, my darling mate will go in my stead. He'll probably be more useful to you," she said with a small teasing look at Solaris, "I had some concerns I needed to discuss with Oreithya, but it seems that she's not present - and it is pretty urgent, so I will be heading to Eastern Pack to see her. I apologize for the inconvenience, but I just want to make sure of something before I get to hunting." She said sagely, yet their was some intuition on her part. She had a feeling she knew, why, she was feeling this way - but it was a bit too early to make a conclusion or was it just the right time. She didn't know. But either way she needed this to be resolved and soon.

She gave a small and direct touch of her nose to her mates cheek. A silent reassurance that she was okay and a way for her to tell him to mind his manners and try to be nice to the others while she was gone. And then a simple lick to his nose for extra comfort and a bit of a tease to him. And she gave a look to Night as if anticipating his response to her request.

Freya nodded as she followed next to the wolf their pelts just barely brushing as she watched the landscape around them open up to the river. Audits swiveling she narrowed her gaze at the mention of a fight.

"Im dont running from the soft skinned pests. If it comes down to a fight you can be sure ill be in the front of that line."

Freya stated breifly noting the soft colored wolf and frowned ever so softly.

"She grieves her past. Hmm... best to leave her be."

Freya knew that distant gaze. As she had often seen it in her own fathers eyes. Sighing she smiled at Silver.

"Well, its been a pleasure Silver. Hope to see you around again soon."

Freya leaned forwards and brushed her nose against the departing wolfs shoulder as a goodbye before picking up a steady canter towards the camp. Her banner swaying in a neutral fashion behind her as she approached the dogs.

[Killjoy]M]Alpha]Eastern]M: Shadow, Xola]

Killjoy sighed when he saw Xola. He was grateful that he wasn't alone, but also annoyed that she'd followed. He couldn't blame her though. "Shadow, shut up and just listen to yourself." Killjoy looked into his eyes, "Do you not remember straight? You were protecting your Pack from that nast nasty rottweiler and his group. You are an Alpha. You've come so far." Killjoys ears flattened against his head as well. I'm not an Alpha. Never have been. Killjoy knew that feeling. He was still so used to being a hunter. The thrill of a fight made him just want to jump in. The adrenaline made him reckless. If anyone shouldn't be an Alpha, it would be him. The only reason he was one was due to the fact that they needed a leader, and he'd been raised here.

Dust flew as he blocked Shadow again. "Naughty boy." Killjoy said, giving him a soft glare. He listened to Shadows words. He wasn't a father, and he wasn't sure if he ever would be. Shadow, Illusion, they were lucky. "You were and will be a great father to Silver. I, and I'm sure no one else had doubts about it." Killjoy sat down in front of him, and placed his black paw over Shadows.

"You know what the sad part is?" Killjoy could think of a lot... The dead pups, Seya leaving during this mess, Flame laying helplessly waiting for help, all of the blood shed. Silently Killjoy looked into his eyes. "I would do it again in a heartbeat." Killjoy smiled slightly. That was some good quality fathering right there. Not many would do, or say that for their pups. It was like a movie, watching Shadow go through all of the emotions. "Sit back down." Killjoy said, sternly, "You aren't leaving right now. You need to get this off your chest, as do I."

He listened to Shadows next words. He could see the dead kit? All he could see at night was Shadow with the dead kit in his mouth, the parents snarling in the background. The tunnel collapsing behind them as the scurried up the rocks. The sound was soul shattering. He didn't like it. He didn't want to admit it, but he too would do it again in a heart beat. He had gained more respect for Shadow in one day then he had for any other wolf in his life. "Let's be honest, your bloodstained coat was badass." Killjoy mumbled under his breath, looking at the ground for the sentence before eye contact returned. "How do I not see you as a monster? Shadow, c'mon." Killjoy gave him a sarcastic eyeroll. "Please, no matter what you do, you will never look like a monster in my eyes. You did what you thought what was best. As I think of it, a kit for a pup. Too bad there wasn't more." Killjoy knew he probably wasn't helping Shadow... He chewed his next words. "I too would do it again, but instead of watching like an idiot, I'd gladly help." A flash of evil passed over his face before it turned soft again.

Shadows last words cut like a knife right to the heart. He'd wished so many times that he could bring his deceased family members back. Eyelids fluttered close. He just wanted a better goodbye with his father, not to see him get defeated by rogues. "Shadow, nothing you can or will do can bring them back. They are gone, and the only thing you can do is to remember the happy times you had." Killjoys eyes gently opened again. "You are still bitter, and so am I. It messed with both of us, you more greatly then me, but you're doing good with your Pack." Far better then I am doing with mine.. He shook the thought out of his head but it lingered at the back, like a awful aftertaste.

To be honest, he'd forgotten that Xola was there. He looked at her. "Go ahead, tell me that I never listen." He sighed. "I'm just, ugh, such a screwed up mess." He chuckled before turning his attention back to Shadow.
