White Noise

the onyx male returned and laid down with a thud worn out from the night

Kali

Kali bolted from the center when she was at last released. Dark growls thundered from her narrow jaws shut tightly and ecoed through the forest. Her tail lashing bitterly behind her as she made her way back to the pack. Her firy, amber eyes spotted White Noise resting upon the earth. She hualted upon the ground her ears flickering as she slowly began to calm down and padded up to him without saying a word.

Bane

The yong hunter was the next to arrive, spattered in blood not his own. Teach his sister to interfere with his plans, wouldn't he? As he came into view of the two others, he stopped, a low bow letting his father know that he was sorry he was not present at the fighting that had taken place at Kali's release. My apologies, Father. I was... delayed... by an interloper seeking to interfere with my life. It shant happen again.

That done, he rose from the bow and collapsed into a heap. He was uninjured saved for his gory eye, which had already been blinded anyway. Most of the blood was from Taipa, whom he had left in very poor shape indeed, but he'd forgotten, in two years, how fast she was. She'd surprised him when she caught his eye. It was an event he didn't intend to give her the chance to repeat.

White Noise

the hunter rose as the duo came forward still tired he looked out over the empty lands and sighed.
Its okay, son, but we need to start finding others to join the pack.

Kali

Kali looked over her shoulder at Bane and back to White Noise listening to his words. More, more of everything. Everyone just wanted more. Kali wasn't much for recruitment, but for other things. She didn't say anything, but stood there and listened.

Bane

Bane listened from his place, thinking hard. He hadn't heard recently of anyone seeking to join a pack, so lone wolves would be slim this time of year. He carefully began to arrange his words, using a talent in diplomacy that he unknowingly inherited from his birth father. He was looking for a way to say what he wanted without angering White Noise. Finally he spoke, voice VERY level. Father... I have traveled far and wide these last few days, mainly seeking to destroy the one who delayed my coming. I noticed, however, as I wandered through the neighboring freelands, that there are fewer and fewer unattached wolves coming into the valley. Time was, when I was but a pup, that requests for shelter and protection were frequent, but it seems to have been declining these past months.

Bane allowed himself the smallest of sighs before speaking again. How, my father, can we recruit new members if all are pack-attached? Only through conversion, or reproduction. Unless there is some place I am unaware of that all the un-packed wolves are hiding? It was true. Most of the wolves that were not attached to a pack were those who did not wish to be: Taijya, Whisper, and the like. Eyeing White Noise carefully out of the corner of his good eye, he waited for his response.
