Played Fire on the Mountain

It was only when the dame spoke that midnight realised how young she was a look of suprise crossed her face, the lass Champion could not have been more then half her age. Midnight paused for a moment considering the options, Champion did not seem a threat, and if as she said all she looked for was a swim well. Midnight relaxed slightly, her assessment finished, she had not realised how tense she had been until it slipped away. ?I don't know if you could call it claimed we move around a lot but it will be home for a while now,? she thought of the tiny pups wiggling around by their mothers side she had poked her head into the dens just for a moment before patrol, to remind herself what she was protecting.

But that caused more questions what to do now, her head dipped slightly as she thought, the main cove was where the dens where located, Gargoyle and Ocena would be there, their two leaders, it was there job to vet incoming wolves, she could take this wolf to them and, but no the pups where also there, the new generation she could not risk their live on her judgement but if this wolf really did only wish to swim then why call the alpha from his mate and his new litter. The dame provided a solution a different area but where?

Suddenly an option sprung into her mind she had found the tidal pool not a week earlier on one of her patrols and had yet to have a chance to investigate it, it sat to the north of the main cove not far from where the unlikely pair stood. Large and in areas deep enough that the bottom could not be seen it was salt water filled at high tide by the sea, and she had seen fish darting around in the shallows, and most importantly it was still miles from the main cove it would be safe for the dame to be there. With a grin she looked back up at Champion, ?I know just the place,? she said with a smile taking half a step back she turned side on, maybe she no longer feared this child but that did not mean she was ready to turn her back on her, and who knew maybe Midnight would join Champion in her swim, after all she had yet to explore the area it would be a good idea to check it out.
