Lachlan had kind of hid away during the long night, he didn’t leave the sheep these days. He just prayed that he wouldn’t contract the illness. What he hadn’t expected was his ram to fall ill. Ears suffered greatly and Lachlan thought for a long time he was going to lose the sheep he loved and the man that gave him to him. Lach internally celebrated as the sun returned, the illness dissipated, and the world seemed to go back to the way it was. Tyrian’s crystals dropped, Ears’ illness released, and all felt right in the world.

After the stress he didn’t hesitate a moment to accept Tyrian’s offer to get out of the pack for a while. Breathe in the fresh air, enjoy the sunlight. A shy smile played on his features as he loped beside Fireside’s alpha, feeling that their approach of the path was more than literal. The two of them were at a crossroads figuratively. He realized how fragile and swift life was, how could he not when he worked so closely with livestock.

Adventure, something that felt like a far away dream these days. ”So.. refreshing.” He joked softly, making a face at the smell of sulfur, but he wasn’t about to back down from a challenge like this. Especially not when he was beside Tyr. ”Life’s too short to say no when you can smell the risks and rewards.” He added with an amused grin.
