Stormrunners & Others

A few hours had passed before Stormrunner turned to their homelands, his pack successful in their latest hunt for food. In his leaner summer coat, Storm may as well have been as pregnant as his mate for how much his belly stuck out beneath his grayed hide. Behind him, elder sister Darling looked likewise plump with fresh food, and newcomer Waterlily wasn't far off from them.

Stormrunner set down the haunch of meat he'd been carrying and turned a howl to the skies, calling forth the elderly members of their pack. He'd save his piece for his mother Tayzeka, while Darling would make sure Starscream had a piece for himself.

Waterlily held tight to a chunk of rib and meat, looking anxiously for Blackout's arrival.


Crow & Others

Figuring that Waterlily would be providing for Blackout, Crow saved his leftover meat for his mother Hulia, knowing the elderly, three-legged wolfess would need all the sustenance she could to survive the upcoming winter months.

Iopa lingered with the rest of the pack, standing shoulder to shoulder with her mate, where she set the section of shoulder meat on the ground. She had no one in particular to give this too, and if one else was in need of it, she'd carry it back to the den for herself as a meal later.

"It looks like the hunt went well?" Crow greeted the group, approaching with his head low and tail held relaxed behind him. His emerald eyes flashed to the meat each had settled at the base of their paws, but made no move to help himself to these left overs. He was getting on in years and fit easily into the rank of 'Elders' but the old silver wolf had no problem making the pilgrimage to the kill site to help himself, rather than relying on these handouts. "I'll head out and cache what I can." He explained, looking primarily to Stormrunner and Iopa before departing and following their tracks back to the marsh.


Megatron

Megatron did not return to the center of the pack lands he stayed away cleaning his wounds and took the chunks Kurok brought him.

Turok moved to water lilly Take this to blackout its the best part of the moose he deserves ithe said calmly.

Blackout on the other hand with his tail in beta position moved toward the group. He had tried to talk Megatron in returning with him but his elder brother refused. He left him with his tail in beta position and limping toward the pack and lilly he didn't care what Storm said he was rightfully beta and he would behave as such.

Hulia struggled a lot lately due to arthritis. She was sitting by the dens.

Tayzeka spent her days with her mate.


Stormrunners & Others

Stormrunner was distinctly aware of Megatron's absence, but having seen Kurok depart with meat, and Blackout return in triumph, he quickly put two and two together. At the moment, the alpha didn't think anything amiss, but should his brother's absence linger, he'd seek the other out to ensure his health and safety. For now, he made no recognition of Blackout's status, and moved towards his parents to lay the meat in front of Tay instead, "We found a young moose today." He explained, and flicked a tongue out to clean some of the sticky blood that was beginning to dry against his maw. "If either of you need more, let me know."

Starscream settled down next to his mate and took a few bites of meat that Darling offered him, but didn't finish the entire portion before raising his heavily whitened muzzle and looking to the west. His stomach simply wasn't that hungry this afternoon. "Tay." The grizzled wolf murmured, his eyes still searching the forests, "Join me for a walk, after you've eaten?"

Waterlily's heart leaped when she spotted Blackout rendezvousing with the group. Part in worry at seeing his wounded state, and part in elation at seeing his flagged tail. That could only mean he'd won the fight! She nodded to Turok as almost an afterthought before sprinting to intercept Black, stopping just in front of him and setting down the meat, "Black, how are you doing?" She questioned, in a voice ripe with concern. Without waiting for his reply, she gave his muzzle a lick before moving to nose about at his other injuries, wanting to clean away and blood or debris she came across.


Tayzeka

Tay that is a good findShe said softly. She took the meat then looked to her mate. Of courseShe said. She then finishsed her food before getting up.

Black tail wagged in his beta position when Lilly came over. Ill be alright just time will healHe said.

Megatron hadn't yet left the territory but he had plans too once he was healed.


Stormrunner * Others

Once everyone had been fed, Stormrunner made his way to the densite to see how his mate was holding up.

Waterlily finished her worried assessment of Blackout before sitting down in front of him, a smile sitting neatly on her mug. "I'll help keep those wounds clean, and they'll heal faster." She promised, the spoke a little more quietly, "I'm glad you won, Black. I think you deserve it." The wolfess reached forward again to give the other another lick on the muzzle, while her tail thumped happily behind her.

Starscream pulled himself to his feet, leaving behind good three-quarters of his meal. Walking close to Tay, he moved quietly out of the territory and out to the Canyon.


Blackout

Blackout ssat down then and ate the piece of food brought over his own tail now slightly waggy. Will you be my mate?He finally asked.

Tay followed him also only having eaten a little.


Darling & Waterlily

Waterlily's eyes little up and her plume swayed with excitement, swirling up a small cloud of dust behind her. "Yes, Blackout." She answered back without hesitation, and as if to seal the commitment, she leaned it to pressed her muzzle gently against his neck. "Nothing would make me happier."


Blackout

Blackout pressed his face to her his tail wagging now no words spoken
