[center][b]Aleu[/b]♀
[color=lightgray]Wandering just past the clearing, Aleu could barely make out the voices beginning to stir behind her and she quickly started hurrying the pups faster towards the water. Some quiet time away from the pack that never stopped complaining of the tigers was a bit much. Speaking of things the young pups had no business listening to. Aleu huffed softly through her nose and stepped to the edge of the pond, craning her neck down to lap up a cool drink of water.[/color]
[b]Desaius[/b]♂
[color=tan]The sudden talk about the tigers and needing to drive them out if it was to be the wolves or them caused Desaius and his old bones to move that much faster. The young and their ever growing concerns for those that, had they obeyed certain territory lines, would be just another group of friendly neighbors of the wood. An old wolf, such as Desaius, had nothing to worry about with the Tigers. He neither posed a threat nor did he care if the tigers attempted to assassinate him. At Desaius' age, and in the emotional state he was in, he couldn't care less if he died on the spot. On that note, Desaius changed direction and began to wander off toward the tiger territory. No one would see him wandering off that way, because by the time he'd made the decision to go there, he'd gone quite a couple hundred yards into the forest. [b]"This should be interesting,"[/b] thought Desaius to himself. No, he wasn't on a suicide mission. This was a mission to do something about the growing concerns the younger pack members had. The ones no one had yet made a decision on. It'd been a constant concern for as long as the two packs had been around in the same wood, and if no one else would say a thing to the darned tigers, Desaius had nothing to lose if it went south. He'd already lost the last thing he wholeheartedly loved to the harshness of the winter.[/color]
[b]Shadow[/b]♀
[color=gold]Shadow heard Chincf call and she immediately jumped up to follow Hunting Party's Lead orders, coming in just behind Carek with Kai falling behind a ways. Shadow gave a nod to her lone brother and pointed her nose off in the opposite direction where the other part of the hunters would be going for their part of the hunt. Shadow ran right into Carek's rear and realized everyone had stopped to begin debating about the tigers. Shadow, too, was tired of the constant worry on everyone's mind.. including hers, at times. The concern was practically bred right into their very being. Something we all grew up dreading. Becoming [i]of age[/i] and it becoming [i]their[/i] problem. Oh joy. Slowly, Shadow sank to her hackles and tilted her head to the side slightly, just listening to the soft debate going on. Shadow had a lot to say about it all, but usually kept it to herself because in her opinion, it didn't matter what she felt. Nothing would ever truly be done about the tigers and their clear lack of respect for boundaries.. at the same time, though, she understood why the tigers did what they did. And maybe that was Shadow's main concern. She might be looked at as a traitor, or even so simply as a sympathizer. Would the pack turn against her? Shadow could only keep her thoughts to herself, and assume that if she stay quiet, she'd be safe.[/color][/center]
