Rain falling

*Bass* · 01-03-2017, 10:00 PM

Bass eyed Leo while his heart pounded in his chest. As soon as he heard that there had been a bear attack, it fell and crashed to his paws. Sucking in a deep breath, he visibly flinched when he said that Quelt had been one of the wolves killed. He didn't know who Bright Moon was, his mind focusing on the fact that yet another one of his friends had died so suddenly. Flopping heavily to his rump, the man stared as his paws as a quiver ran through him. He wasn't one to usually display weakness like this, not to another alpha, but he didn't care. Dead, another friend... was dead. The man's teeth grit together with an audible scrape, his jaws working as he tried his best to keep his emotions inside. A simple nod was all that Leo got from him, unable to find any other words for the moment. Qualm wasn't here any longer, but he could carry the news to Ivory Ridge himself. Quake would be his first task though, as she was right here anyways. Just when Bass didn't think that his heart could break anymore, it fractured even deeper. Was he just reaching the age when wolves started to die all around him? Was he that old? No... he still had several good years left, right? But then why did this keep happening? Why did those he cared for keep leaving him like this?

Taking a few deep breaths, he cleared his throat and finally rose his head to offer a fake, half smile to Leo. "T-th," he started, stopping to let out a cough before he tried again, "Thank you, Leo. For bringing this news to me. I know how it feels to... lose pack members, and dear friends. I know how hard it is to spread the news so I do appreciate it." There was clear emotion in his voice, his front legs shaking slightly where he sat. It was hard to control it, he had just started to gather up everything that had happened to deal with it. And now... now this. A broken huff rattled out of his mouth as he shook his head, an emotionless laugh following. When would this madness end? When could he just return to life like normal without everyone going and dying on him?
