Chincf faced Carek, blinking calmly as he looked at the other wolf. "I understand that you're frustrated. We all are, and we all lost friends and family to the food shortages this year. But violence against the tigers isn't going to solve this." the beta reminded him. He leaned forward and touched the end of his muzzle to Carek's shoulder soothingly. "The tigers have cubs and families to feed just like we do, they're only trying to survive, just like us." turning to pad onward again, Chincf drew air into his nostrils, trying to locate a scent trail. Faintly, he scented rabbit. The beta held his tail up to signal the hunting party to stop. "Rabbit scent. Could be a warren close by. We might be able to grab a couple...even if they're skinny, it'll be better than nothing."

Tikaani bows her head respectfully to the tiger as well, glad that they were able to have a civil conversation. "Of course, we understand that. We have no wish to harm you or your cubs." she assured him. "We're only worried about finding food for our own pack. We lost cubs in the food shortage too, and older wolves also." maybe it was wrong of her to reveal the information to the big cat because they were supposed to be rivals, but she didn't see them as a threat and didn't see anything wrong with being honest.

Saaba followed his line of sight, her tail lashing uneasily. "You mean cross into Vandrow territory? I don't think that's a good idea." the tigress protested. "The wolves are getting more defensive about their borders, and there's more of them than us." but they needed food and if that was the only place they could get it....Saaba sighed, nodding her head. "Stay here and watch the cub." she murmured, clearing the stream in one leap. She paused to regain her balance, her legs weaker from lack of food, before she went about looking for prey. It didn't take her long to track down a few birds, scrambling up the trunk of a scrawny pine to snatch them from the branches. She carried them back across the stream to where Avir sat with the cub, dropping the dead birds at his paws. "Here, let her have these while I see if I can find something a bit more substantial for the two of us."
