Dragonveil Fold sinister violin sting

In the days since his failed attack on the pack in the north, Thoval had healed. Not only that but he had also been reunited with his little band of devout misfits. Beneath his grayscale coat, bruises had faded and aches had dulled. The bite punctures to his flanks had clotted and scabbed over. And, though the limp was gone from his step, he sometimes faltered.

Inside him, the facet of Thoval that had been scorned as Ragehowl screamed. The sting of defeat had yet to leave him, but he had Felyx's word on revenge when the opportunity presented itself. The dark-pelted brute had his nights numbered.

Thoval stretched long and serpentine as he slithered in the shadow of the Mountain. Across the rocks, he sniffed about. The whites of his brows pressed against one another. What he was searching for, he couldn't be sure, but he knew it was time to press himself back into the fold. Reassimilate. Reorient. Reassess. The Whisperer, as he interpreted the being from Paeryl's lips, offered what Thoval could only dream of.

A smirk played on the rogue's swarthy features as he found a flat-topped rock to perch on. It was a good distance from the ground, but not too high up. If anything, it offered a nice scope of the forest below.

That Thoval had reconnected with them in such a state had been a surprise. The urge to relentlessly tease him for it all was difficult to fight, but Sovanya liked to think she'd done well so far. She didn't need to end up on his hit list, after all. He was one of the assholes she enjoyed keeping around, even if he was a big loser now.

She'd crossed over his scent trail and decided 'what the hell;' her sociability had vastly improved as well since childhood, now that she found wolves she actually enjoyed interacting with. When she saw him staking his claim on a particularly nice spot, though, the imp in her took over.

Sova skittered silently and swiftly over the ground like a snake, and when she reached the base of the natural ledge she sprung up abruptly, sharp teeth snapping after Thoval's toes. Jaws had officially arrived.
