Keilo & Kanan

His tail still ached, but it was beginning to heal now. Still, it felt so odd... half of it was missing, leaving Kanan not only marred physically, but handicapped in physical speech. Yet he was lucky, for the bullet could have wound in his head, his heart, his spine... there would be no worrying over his looks then, for he'd be dead.

Keilo caught the scent of his son as he entered the terra. With a deep, low howl, he announced Kanan's entrance to the rest of the pack, then hurried off to intercept him. "Kanan! It's great to see you... oh, Kanan..." His sentence changed drastically as he noticed the half-missing appendage.

Kanan smiled wryly, "lJust another encounter with the humans, nothing serious." He padded forward to embrace his father with a nuzzle, "How have you been? It's great to see that you've found a pack... and under our old alpha's lead?"

Keilo nodded and flurished a soft smile of his own, though it still carried concern for the wound his son carried, "That's right, Cortinarri and Manov, although I haven't seen Manov for a long while."

Cortinarri

She came forward, head held high and eyes narrowed just slightly in a coy but dominant look. "Kanan, it's been a while." Cortinarri spoke, looking to his severed tail with a curious disreguard. "What brings you around here? Looking for a pack to join?"

Keilo & Kanan

Kanan shook his head, "No, not quite. I live with the Ochotona Pack." He looked to his father, then back to Cortinarri, "How have you been doing? I haven't seen Manov for a while..."

Keilo sat down, turning his gaze from his alpha to the sky. In the distance, he heard the hum of a plane; but it was very far away. He did not give it much care.

Cortinarri

"I've been doing fine. Manov is here, he's just busy." Cortinarri replied, her tone rather short as she turned narrowed as from Kanan, following Keilo's gaze heaven-ward. "I think a hunt might be in order. You don't seem too busy, Kanan. Come with us." The alphess howled out, her voice carrying high in the winter air, alerting Manov and Namir of her plans. Then she turned briskly from the duo and headed for Galar's Marsh, tail raised high.
