Those Who Fight Further

Bane had smelled it even before the howl of his mate, his head raising from where he was laying down from the noise of the ghostly call. Tahlia had been going into heat, and the lupine nose hadn't ignored that particular smell it at all before she went back to Seracia. But then there was the fact of having to take care of Alena for the rest of the month, but there was Tahlia. Bane rolled onto his side on the ground in between the halfway point of Alena's den and Seracia. The only thing that wasn't half and half in his life right now was his love. A yawn found it's way out of his muzzle and the grey wolf struggled to his paws with the howl of his mate still echoing in his ears.

Tahlia... he would go to her and see to her needs. Bane stumbled a bit as he took his first step but he caught himself. There was another thing that had found it's way to Bane's mind. His age. How long till he had to leave this world? What if it was on the way back to Tahlia? The thought made him shudder as he set off, worn paws taking him down to Seracia and to Tahlia.?And as the sun moved in the sky a noticeable amount Bane reached Seracia... and the one who called him. Bane arooed a greeting and bound up to his mate and love Tahlia, a whine and several licks being placed her muzzle. "Hey Tahlia, I missed you." Bane had a fair idea about what she was going to ask judging from the smell of things, and if anything the grey wolf was ready to please.
