The man had been busy as of late, as always. When he was not at the borders, he was either hunting to fill up the caches with what he could or bringing food to @Nina and the pups. Secretly of course. He would lay the food right at the entrance of the den and then take his leave. When he was doing neither of those activities, he traversed through the shadows, keeping an eye on all of his pack mates, watching their activities at the current time. The black alpha rarely took a break from his constant movement, but as of now, the male had felt weary so he had decided to call it an early night. Well, early for him. He usually didn't enter the communal den until he made sure that all of his pack mates were accounted for and then stayed out later than that. Most days, he didn't enter the den and go to sleep until about midnight. Even now, as the sun was no longer in his sight, the man could not fall asleep. His brain just kept on churning with what he had to accomplish and what he had to do the next day. It just wouldn't shut off. Huffing lightly in annoyance, the large male silently lifted his bulk and headed out of the den, careful to not disturb his sleeping pack mates.
A few feet away from the communal den, he laid down in a sphinx-like position. Maybe he had felt too cramped. Closing his eyes, Miccah tried to go to sleep once again. But after minutes of no progress, he irritably stood up once again. Maybe he just needed to go for a walk. He knew his sleeping schedule was wonked, but he hadn't realized it was this wonked. As he was about to take a step toward Secret Woodlands borders, he heard a twig snap nearby. Immediately the man lifted himself to his full height, his black banner shifting high in the soft breeze. His dark blue gaze was attentive as he tried to figure out who was nearby.
