a shield in the snow (Tortuga)

He had neglected his duties, and there was, really, no excuse for that. But he had been so distracted by reuniting with Haruka, in making sure she was okay and she understood that he was not upset with her that he had pushed the pack to the wayside. But no longer... He had duties to fulfill and hoped, with Qanik?s permission, he might make an announcement of an upcoming hunt at this meeting. With spring, and new lives on the way, the pack needed meat, and he would ensure that got on task. A pack could not function properly without fresh meat after all.

Ritsuka would arrive, tipping his head towards Qanik. ?Qanik, good to see you. If I may I?d like to speak with you later on.? He would leave Roman be for now... Her children were a duty that was a high priority. Pups were the future of a pack after all. He would glance to Gossamir, and then around at some of the other friendly faces he knew. Misha, Elli, Dayton, August... Comrades indeed. Those that he needed to bond with more strongly.
