I'll Sing You One Last Song

Bane couldn't help but frown as her silence, the realization that he was almost starving out here all by himself. He could go weeks without food, as could all wolves, but the feeling of an empty stomach was frustrating and a bit worrying at some times. It wasn't so much that he hadn't eaten much, is was the total absence of prey. Even the fish were avoiding this place along the shore. Bloodied groundwater seeping into the river. A probability. At least Bane had his mountain water. Good tasting mountain runoff that filled his stomach not quite the same way as meat but didn't even get energy from. Food was required to hunt more food. It was the nature of all things that breathed.

Des's laugh brought a smile to his muzzle. He could still make others express mirth and joy. Getting old had its perks. His traps were commented on and Bane glanced about at where his knew they all lay in the ground. Getting old had its perks... Bane wrinkled his nose at the offer of having help bury them. She had offered to help make new ones. That deed would be greatly appreciated, making the new pit traps and he wouldn't have to clean out the old ones. He couldn't risk and injury while all alone, the infection that would definitely come with that mishap. "That would be nice. And to be honest I could do with you bringing another meal. It been a while since I was meat drunk." Bane was quiet as Destruction told of the pack meeting and what had transpired. "I'm not sure I recall if Tahlia told me, I was busy giving the pups the rundown about the ways of the Bloodied Moon tribe, but I'm glad their going to learn more. I mean Nako is, going to learn. Be taught by you." Bane gave a awkward smile at the stop-start sentence he stuttered out, his tail brushing just over the dirt. "I don't remember if Tahlia told me who's the new king... queen is, whatever." Bane returned to his forgotten meal. Nothing much left desirable of it. Just like his purpose in life. "Took me long enough to get those titles down." The elder gave a sigh and lay the corner of his bloodied muzzle on a paw.

Nothing much...
