Qanik was keeping herself busy, burying herself in her new duties as a shield against the moodiness and depression that often fought to keep her in her den brooding. She was happy in the pack, happy to make a difference and help keep the pack running smoothly. If only her personal life hadn't taken such a drastic downward spiral. But enough of that - she wasn't allowing herself time to focus on personal issues. Tortuga came first, as she'd known it would have to from the start.

Roman's call reached her ears as she paced the border, and she was quick to turn her steps toward the peak Roman had called from. It took a little time, as the peak was at the far end of the territory - time enough to worry about why she was being summoned, but Qanik finally slowed from her lope to stop a few paces from the queen. She bowed her head respectfully, a murmured greeting falling from her lips. Cobby head raising once more, she studied the younger woman surreptitiously as she waited to learn why she'd been called.
