Zev

Zev wandered aimlessly around the territory, and in his mind as well. Soleda had shocked him to the core, and now he simply had a lack of care for anything life had to offer. His daughter had sworn a blood oath. If it lay within her power, she would see to it that he died a very unpleasant death, and Kianga too.

He hadn't eaten in over a week and it was beginning to tell on him: his reflexes were off, his coat dull and lifeless, and his once formidable weight had started to drop. Letting out a howl of anguish, he flopped down on the moss, lacking the strength to go further. He vaguely considered going after her, but tossed that aside immediately. That was just like walking tamely toward his own death. He considered running off and going into hiding, but where could he hide that she would not find him? Nowhere. He let out a sigh and lay down, feigning sleep as he had been doing for days, hoping his mate and the rest of the pack would not notice. He was a very quiet sort, not one to complain, not wanting to burden anyone else with his personal problems, and so tried his very best to behave as thought everything were normal and perfect. But he was failing... nothing would ever be alright again.

Maiyun

Maiyun limped out of the woods, she had found her way here from the alley. She was so relieved that she had found a formidable place in the wreckage of these times. A cry of lonliness caught her attention. Her stomach growled but she felt sick, and decided hunting could be left until later, for food was plentiful here. Instead, she investigated the sound. She wormed her way through the tall grass, searching out the sound. A scent reached her nose, helping her find her way. Soon, she reached the sight. A sorrowful male lay alone in the grass, dull and malnourished. She sat down near him.
I'm Maiyun. Aaka has sent me here.
Her words we few and simple, but she was new here and shouldn't be too nosey.

Zev

The father looked up at the approaching female, smiling a sad, half-hearted sort of smile. His deep perception saw the questions in her eyes, and also her determination not to ask them to a perfect stranger. His eyes met hers in a sincere Thank you, and he spoke softly, hearing her mention Aaka.

Ah, then you seek Moon Spirit and Azul. I'm afraid that both are occupied at the moment. But you are welcome to stay here until they return, provided that you do no harm, of course. His eyes were grave, but the tone was kind enough, if distracted. At such time that they return, you may request to join the pack. I am Zev. Welcome to Sedge Creek.

Maiyun

Maiyun sat in a polite posture, listening caredully to Zev's words and beng careful not to make any rude or offensive gestures. She was very grateful to be here, as was her stomach, which reminded her of it's emptiness with an angry twist and growl. She winced, and replied to the males words.
Pleased to meet you, Zev.
She lowered her head in a slight bow and returned upright.
Thank you for welcoming me. My place here is a peaceful one, and I will await Monn Spirit and Azul patiently.
She finished her short speech and watched his eyes for a moment, he looked terribly worried. But it was not her place to wonder why.
I'm sorry to leave so soon, but I'm dreadfully hungry and would like to find somethng to eat. Nice meeting you Zev.
She nodded and turned to walk away, maybe she could catch some fish in the stream or something.

Elena

Another sorrowful howl could be heard in the distance as Elena made her way back to sedge creek.. Her movements were slow and purposeful as\she came upon her mate but her eyes were sad. "I tried to find her.....I...I tried." Elena looked as if she were about to collapse but she held herself up stubburnly. She wouldnt give in. Hunger and pain was all that she knew at the time and she didnt know how to make it all better.

Zev

Zev nodded distractedly as the female trotted away. He only came back to the real world as his mate's piercing call hit the sky, and he rose to meet her haggard appearance. He didn't say anything, only came to her side and stayed there, his eyes telling her I don't know the answers. I can't fix this. I wish for all the world I could... I can't... And his eyes went down, knowing that she was as hungry and sad as he. Sighing a little, he spoke softly. Wait here, sweet one. I will bring back meat. And he turned, about to leave and go find food.
