Tranquility

Miss grump was no less grump today than she was when the two last met. What a shame. She said she was wanting a nap. Ash flopped dramatically on his side, "Yeah, naps are pretty nice but don'tcha think that an alpha napping outside of her pack lands is a little... tempting to a not-so-well-intending passerby?"

Obviously this was not said with malice or anything. Ash was flopped on his side, though his guard wasn't completely let down. He wasn't trying to stir her up or anything- he honestly was considering how bad of an idea that might be.

"I think you're in a tough spot. I can't dig Sparrow out of the pack and usually she's begging to go on an adventure. Whatever's happening beyond those borders must be pretty intense."

Ashmedai rolled onto his stomach, "You know, if you're feeling too tired, I could always take over."

The blue male paused for a bit, a goofy grin on his face, "Just kidding, though. I don't think those guys could keep up, really. I just have to keep an eye on y'all to make sure y'all don't go charging into any more wars. Besides, if I'm roamin' around, maybe I'll catch up with one of your strays, or maybe I'll stop one before they go missin'. Like when you circle large prey to make them move where you wanna."

Maybe he should have stopped there, but he could imagine the old woman biting him for relating her precious pack mates to cattle.

"I think running a pack would be similar to herding prey except maybe if they were all, like, rabbits or- well wolves or something instead of dumb, large prey. Like medium, very hostile prey. Or something."
