Where was she, he wondered? Though he admittedly hadn't been working on his training as well as he ought to be, he hadn't been spending as much time with Silent either. These last few seasons he'd fallen into a quiet, contemplative sort of demeanor - which really wasn't all that different from how he usually was - but he'd stopped making as much effort. Time to change that, though. He'd had enough fight experience lately he ought to speak to the pack's new leader about a promotion. All in due time.

Veering around a group of tightly clustered trees, Bronze paused as he sniffed at the air. Grabbing hold of Silent's scent he trailed after it, nose low to the ground as he searched for her. Just what he had in mind for today he wasn't sure, but he did know he wanted to spend time with her. Whatever that entailed didn't matter as much as the company, at least not to him.

The time spent in Armada had quickly passed. Silent had turned three, then four - how had she not realized the many seasons and moons that had went by? She was not one to complain, however, for her life as a pup had been rough with small heartaches that had healed as she grew. Once she had caught up with Bronze, her life had turned in the direction that was needed and she had obliged with it all.

Time was one of her few thoughts that day as she walked through the woods. Quality time with the large blue-and-gold male had slimmed the past couple of months, of which she had felt like a part of her was missing. Dark paws carried her along a familiar path and as she treaded, she heard the firmly soft pads of her Bronze as he moved towards her. Ears perked and she turned her head to find him approaching. Her face lit up and she turned to greet him with bright green eyes. “Bronze!” She trotted towards him, meeting him halfway before slowing enough to not collide into his massive frame. Her nose affectionately reached out to graze his as she continued to smile. “Where have you been?”

Finding her was not a terribly difficult feat, though that likely had as much to do with her as it did with him. There were few wolves whose presence he really craved, and none of them made him feel quite the way Silent did. Though his feelings for her had grown slowly, they had solidified into something quite real - painstakingly slowly, sure, but that was just how things worked for Bronze.

Lately he'd spent a little less time with her, focusing much more of his time on trying to impress their new Warlord. He'd been training and attending lessons he wasn't particularly interested in, and even branching out and trying to show off his leadership skills. The latter especially had pushed him outside of his comfort zone.

Seeing her was like a breath of fresh air. A grin slowly pulled its way over his lips, his typically solemn expression brightening significantly. "Silent," he returned her greeting gladly, pausing to lean into her touch. "I've been busy. Basilisk encouraged me to show him how much leadership potential I have - or don't have," he explained with a soft chuckle. "So I've been working hard at that." Bronze wasn't entirely sure how well he'd been doing but when he did something he always gave it his all, no matter what the task was. "What about you? How have you been passing the time?"
