The alabaster Male let himself get lost in thought for a few moments while he gently cleaned his wounds. The rhythmic swiping of his tongue was soothing on his sore muscles, but he told himself it could have been worse. That rogue cougar was young and inexperienced, likely not a full fledged adult...or maybe just a dumb one that was fueled by nothing more than the need to prove itself. Whatever the case, it ended up picking a fight with the wrong wolf and died. Did he have any qualms about killing it? Not really. He had had enough of predators all winter, and if they wanted to keep fucking with him then he'd make it so there was one less each time.
Besides, it was also sort of his way of venting out his emotions. He refused to allow himself to cry or show weakness to the world anymore. And if that meant unleashing himself when the opportunity presented itself, then so be it. He had calmed down some over the years, however. And he didn't always kill his adversaries. The time he fought off a cougar with Elara was one such time. They had driven it off, and he let it go. When he was alone though? He almost always finished the job unless they got away.
Heya Shaye! Finn's voice cracked through his brief moment of thought and he focused enough to find Shaye coming towards him. Ruby gaze met sapphire as she greeted him, her tone neutral. "Shaye." He greeted in return, offering a nod. "I'm fine, thank you. It's just a scratch, I'll live." Not entirely true, but he didn't want to accept anymore help from anyone while he was here. It didn't feel right when he was planning to leave... |
