[@GhostWing] [b]Chincf:[/b] Chincf had a lot to think about now that he and Lila had taken over leadership of Vandrow pack. It wasn't just border fights and losing prey to the tigers, there was something else. Something...sinister, that seemed to be lurking in the territory and picking the animals off one by one. Prey and predator alike. He didn't like it, not one bit. Especially with Lila back at the den nursing their new litter, he was particularly protective, often patrolling along the borders or looking for new clues and trying to figure out what the best course of action would be. The last thing he wanted to do was move the pack away, but as the days wore on he had begun to wonder whether he would have no choice but to do just that. Chincf tried not to think of that too much. Rather focus on bringing prey in to feed his mate and pups, keep the pack strong. The alpha returned to the den, the rabbit swinging from his jaws. He paused briefly to exchange greetings with his littermate before suggesting she take the day off patrolling and worrying for once and relaxed a while. After ensuring Tikaani promised to do as he asked, he padded across to join Lila, setting the prey down in front of her. "I brought you something." he murmured gently, a proud twinkle in his eye as he watched the pups squirming against her belly. "They look bigger already!" after they had so much trouble, the new life within the pack was a gift all the wolves could appreciate, and of course Chincf doted on them all more than anyone else. [@Nikki Moonlight] [b]Tikaani:[/b] Tikaani had been part of the patrol that had found Reaver and Cahira, the experience had shaken her somewhat and she had spent a great deal of time not able to complete her duties to her full potential. As a result, she'd been working overly hard lately to try and make up for it, and of course she was also covering for Robyn who spent most of her time frantically searching for Aleu. The pup sitter had disappeared shortly after the discovery of the dead former alphas, after bringing Axel to join the pack; Robyn hadn't taken it well and no-one had the heart to tell her to give up looking. Chincf insisted that Tikaani not over-work herself, and reluctantly the she-wolf agreed. Spotting Luna in the middle of the clearing watching Lila and the pups, Tikaani padded over and lay down beside the albino wolf. "Hey, Luna." she greeted the other she-wolf quietly. "You look like you could use some company, mind if I join you?" though she did think her colouration was quite strange as it was something she had never seen before, Luna seemed a nice enough wolf and Tikaani was determined to try and make her feel as comfortable and welcome as possible within the pack.
