Nothing to lose

She listened as he stalked inside the den. Ears would flick in his direction to keep tabs on his location. She hated the idea of pointing the wrong direction when talking to someone so she aimed to keep her pride intact for today. She seemed to make himself comfortable and it felt like the silence dragged on forever. In reality he hadn't taken that long to reply to her. She was amazed by the loyalty and devotion he still showed to everyone. Even despite them not being a pack anymore she was glad she wasn't the only one who was concerned with the well being of Riv and the others. She knew he wouldn't be off with the woman who had defeated Riv, but she honestly hadn't expected him to stay either. "Nox would tell me if anyone with ill intent still lingered." She'd say with a smile. An ear would flick to her companion and Nox let out a soft rumble in response. Her companion was quiet most times, preferring not to speak, and worked better as her eyes anyways. They had a silent understanding of each other. Truth be told she had worried that any of the woman's followers would come back. She'd told them to vacate their lands, but considering she hadn't claimed them she had no hold or power over these lands. She could come back and try and force them but she'd just come back like a weed. She was more worried about any predators that would soon come back once the scent of a pack disappeared. She had faith in herself to be able to hold off or escape from a wolf, but anything bigger and she'd be screwed. She couldn't bring herself to abandon Riv either and he was in a sorry state. He wouldn't be able to do much with his wounds bothering him or reopening so she'd instructed him to rest. If he couldn't protect himself right now it was left to the wolves left. "He doesn't seem so well, Xeph. His wounds pain him and I'm sure his pride hurts him the most. He seems so depressed." She'd murmur. She worried for Riv and there was only so much she could do to make him feel better. "Between the issues he's been having with Zephyra and her family and then losing his pack ... well I can't say he's handling it very well." Walk, "Talk" Think "Nox" |
