When I look at the stars, I feel like myself

Killing time was on Triell's list. To do this he trotted the borders he had better memorized. Dark nose falling over the brush, sweeping up the swirls of wind that may carry the elements of strangers. Nothing would be found, and he continued on his lonely path. Often letting his fiery eyes find the breaks of sky, unsure what he was hoping for. He often had to choke back the feeling that often churned in his chest. That this wasn't his to guard, this wasn't home.

There was nothing to miss back at the ruins of Swift River. Oak Tree Bend had become their new home, and despite the miserable homecoming, he had made into a mess (with the help of Fenru), they had accepted him, and he stayed. Part of his family again, trying to start over despite the recent tragedy, the recent loss of a great and dear member. That should be the only thing missing, he told himself. Eventually, that wouldn't hurt so much. It was open again, when he had pierced the rest of their hearts. The Tainn grimaced. Why did they keep him around?

Dark banner swaying behind his feathered haunches, he continued his stride happy at least his body had recovered from all the damage. Thinning it was about time to head to the creek, with his ears arched forward he skipped over a log, than pushed through some stubborn brush. It was easy to see the cream patched female, a bit on the small side settled close to Ice and Corinna's borders. If Ice would have laid eye upon her, Triell mused she might be already on her back. Today he wasn't fond finding teeth in his cheek, or using his right this very second. Since Ice seemed to need his space, and Corinna likely watching the new ones, he decided to handle this on his own for now.

Black tail raised above him, but his fur not yet bristled he strode closer with a stiff gait. He might as well pretend he was the man in charge, letting his fiery eyes settle upon her. If she was rude to him, he had no point to let her farther."If your tired you might rest else where," he commented, trying to tell if she had been a lone wolf long or just recently. She didn't necessarily looked ragged, just weary. So what did she want?

Puzzlement could be found in the small raise of his eyebrows. Had she ran here? Sadly, even if she was dying Triell wouldn't change his mind about her moving. He was set on "no more funerals" until his own. There was a look to her eyes that seemed to say she was alive, somewhat surprised to find the dark wolf there. The Tainn would agree it was something to wake up to. Since she didn't seem to be "all there" Tri was about to speak again,thinking she had blanked out when her lips began to move.


Okay, he thought, but that doesn't answer much. His black tail gave an uneven twitch, waiting. Introductions were necessary, and he nodded his head. The Tainn held onto this own name, not wanting to interrupt her. Apparently, she wanted to join them. Orange-yellow eyes searched her expression, finding her voice made her appear tough. Was she really? If she stayed maybe he would find out. No smile nor frown upon his muzzle, she looked to be trying to show submission. Finishing her explanation, and finding the ground was the best place to rest her gaze. So far, it seemed worth calling for another, that she might have a chance.


"I'm Triell, and you wandered upon Oak Tree Bend. We are a family who doesn't tolerate users, and liars. But I can see unlike other loners you hold yourself well enough. I'll call my leaders and they can decide..." It wasn't optional to bring her into the territory with the pups, and other reasons Triell didn't let his mind settle on. Tipping back his head, he let out a deep note, beckoning @Corinna or Ice to come see him. They had company.
