from charming to alarming in seconds

The Empress wolf had once more greedily latched onto the opportunity to “scout” for lost members. If the children kept wandering away at this rate he would always have an excuse to laze around outside of the territory. Nobody would ever say anything if he could claim that he had been searching tirelessly for precious poor little blind @Kalysta who was out there all alone. The leaders seemed even more worried about this one than any of the others who had came and went and then came back.

A nicer wolf would have worried, but he felt joyful. Today he had hunkered down in the abandoned den of a long disbanded pack amongst the cedarwood trees. It had been a pleasant nap all morning, and now he stretched and lounged in the entrance, no plans on moving much today. That is until he heard a screech and looked up in time to see a flash of talons and duck back into the den behind him. The falcon missed by only inches, causing the teen’s heart to pound as he peered out, would it come back for him? It landed on a branch nearby, watching the wolf as closely as Khalon was watching the bird.

It's time to strap our boots on

This is a perfect day to die

Torianna had extended beyond the borders without intention of running into anyone. Whilst the majority of the pack had been focused on finding Kalysta, she was also following predator trails in worries that one might have carried off the pup. She recalled the coyote that had tussled with Euna prior to her disappearance as well and wondered if it was related… she’d considered it, but she had come to realize her own lack of experience as of late (particularly when it came to her interactions with Ozark and how little she truly knew of the work) had caused a shift.

That, and the abandonment of her father.

She’d been following tracks that appeared to match badger paws, though the scent was old… what she hadn’t expected was for a much more vile stench to breach the air and assault her nose: her brother. She pulled her lips back to look at him, her eyes narrowing as she watched him watch. Her head pulled away and she moved over to him, making no usual threat upon approach as her gaze locked on what he was looking at.

The other animals looked displeased with her brother, and that caused a grin, though she knew it was likely the presence of potential predators that she’d been tracking.

The teen had been so focused on locking eyes with the falcon in the tree, gold eyes locked on gold eyes in a battle of wills. He of course lost the blinking content, though was almost immediately vindicated when it cranked its head to the side to view someone else with its hateful gaze. Khalon himself also looked, and rolled his eyes when he realized that his sister had followed him here. Could she never just leave him alone!?

He opened his mouth to say something - accuse her of being a rat or a better insult if he could think of it. Then he saw the bird begin to swoop down towards her, screeching, talons outstretched and ready to claw at her eyes or snatch chunks or her fur out. Khalon backed up further within the den so as to not attract any wrath on himself, but couldn’t stop himself from cackling gleefully. It was about time that Torianna got her shit rocked, it would be better if he were the one doing it, but this was still pretty good. Silver medal at least.

There was not a lot of love lost between the siblings, this much was obvious.
