The Wanderers of Druid Peak

Location: Shadow Ridge Den
Interacting with: @Polaris North's Trevor

---

Chinua turned her head as Trevor approached and perked up her ears, huffing out a quiet breath in greeting. She had always had a soft spot for the old wolf, he had been a good friend of her father's and so she had spent a lot of time around him as a pup, if there was anyone in the pack that knew her better than Denali, it was old Trevor. Now that she didn't leave the den site as much due to her advanced stage of pregnancy, he was the best company she could get while Denali was out patrolling, hunting and attending to other matters pertaining to the pack's territory. She didn't mind, he was a nice fellow and he had his fair share of good stories to tell.

"I'm doing just fine, thank you Trevor." the newly crowned Alpha female responded, wagging her tail slightly. She glanced back over her shoulder at the gently sloping bulge of her belly. It seemed to grow larger every day, and she could have sworn she could feel the little cubs beginning to move around. She was sure it wouldn't be long until they entered the world, and admittedly she was glad for it. "Starting to feel a little uncomfortable, but I suppose that's normal at this stage isn't it?" Chinua chuckled softly to cover up the discomfort. "I just feel a bit useless sitting around and doing nothing all day, but it's not like I can leave the den for very much now, I wouldn't be surprised if Denali insists on carrying water to me in a leaf rather than risking me making a trip to the river to get it myself." it was meant as a joke, but perhaps it wasn't entirely unfounded.

Stehrr

Location: The Raven

For a while, Stehrr was alone in the main compartment until the ship's doctor shuffled in to join him, settling himself neatly on the edge of the center console. "《Doc! Is Gol okay?》" the Wookiee whined at Nali, hoping the Echani man would at least reassure him that the Zabrak would recover even if he wouldn't know exactly what Stehrr was saying. It hadn't escaped his notice that Gol was limping quite badly when she returned with the new engine parts, and he was more than glad she had at least gone to see the medic. "《She not hurt bad, is she?》"

Suddenly more anxious at the thought that Gol could in fact be seriously hurt, Stehrr began to munch more vigorously on the hunks of bread and cheese clutched in his paw. He almost couldn't hear Nali's answer over the sound of his own chewing.
"Don't you worry, Stehrr. Gol's gonna be just fine. She just needs to rest up a little while." Stehrr nodded along as the doctor explained something about "rest". The Wookiee knew next to nothing about medicine but he at least understood what that word meant, and appreciated that Nali tried to make his explanations simple enough for Stehrr to understand without speaking in a patronising manner. "So I'm gonna need you to keep an eye on her when you're with her today, make sure she's not trying to fix anything and keeps off that foot properly."
"《Stehrr promise, will make sure Gol rests!》" the Wookiee pilot crowed, his attention diverted as he heard more footsteps down the hallway, indicating someone else might be joining them soon.

Nali nodded his head, glad he at least had the Wookiee to back him up somewhat. As much as Gol might protest, he knew she would listen but it was always better to have some back up just in case. After all, he knew putting extra strain on it while it was still healing would only make the damage worse and Gol certainly didn't want that. As Stehrr's attention drifted away towards the sounds coming from other parts of the ship, Nali decided not to pester the Wookiee too much, it was easy to get him annoyed after all and an angry eight-foot Wookiee on a small ship in the middle of a hyperspace route would not be a good idea, instead letting his own thoughts drift.

The Echani plucked the vibroblade from its sheath at his belt and turned it over in his hands, examining the weapon for any minor imperfections or blemishes out of mere habit. Of course, there were none now, because he hadn't lifted it against another person in battle in many years, not since his sister Rhine had passed. Despite that, he had gotten used to checking it and the blade still needed to be cleaned and sharpened occasionally in order to keep it in pristine condition. They never knew when or if the crew aboard the Raven would be placed in a situation where Nali may have no choice but to use it and he wanted to ensure he was always prepared for that eventuality. They were still in the middle of a war, regardless of his own personal views on the conflict.

Hearing someone sniggering, Nali looked up to see Matthew hurrying past the doorway into the main hold covering his mouth and rolled his eyes in exasperation. It would be a matter of mere seconds, he was sure, before the laughter was followed with the enraged shrieks of whichever unfortunate soul--most likely Kayala, Matthew seemed to take a particular liking to getting underneath the Face's skin--had fallen victim to his latest prank.
"Kriffing hell, Matthew, what have you done?" Nali muttered, narrowing his eyes at the mercenary suspiciously.

Another illusion, of course. It seemed to be a reoccuring theme in this temple at least. Slipping through the barrier after her companion, Aria was surprised by the ornately gilded decor they found on the other side. In fact, given what she knew of the Sith from her time on Korriban, this was the last thing she had expected to find at all. But perhaps the tombs of the Sith Lords there HAD looked like this once, before the salvagers and the sand stripped them bare and left them to ruin. They would never know for certain.

The acolyte turned her head upwards as the alien began to speak to them, taking in his words with a careful frown knitted into her brow as she tried to decipher their meaning. So the True Sith had not intended for the Order that came out of their government to become so ingrained in the kill-or-be-killed mentality...she wanted to ask the question out loud but the alien's glare cut into her like a vibroblade and so she held her tongue, out of instinct dropping her gaze to the floor and not looking him directly in the eye. Perhaps the True Sith had different expectations of etiquette for their acolytes, but it was safer, Aria thought, to play by the rules she knew rather than to risk being too bold in case it angered the tentacled man.

She would have been lying if she had said that it wasn't difficult for her to answer his question. Sometimes she wondered why herself, but it was never a good idea to admit that where any of the Sith Lords could hear the thoughts, because it was a sign of the weakness they so terribly despised. Swallowing the lump in her throat, Aria glanced up just slightly, and kept her voice as steady and even as she could.
"It's all I have ever known, sir." she had considered lying and making up something about seeking the way to true strength, but if the True Sith were as powerful as it seemed then he would likely see straight through it. "But at least there is some kind of honesty in it, even if it's brutal. The Jedi preach peace and pacifism but would readily sacrifice others to keep themselves safe and hide it behind the delusion that it was 'the right thing to do'. At least with the Sith I know to watch my back, and trust no-one but myself."

Swiftbrook cracked open her eyes as she heard rapid pawsteps scurrying past the warriors den, accompanied by shouts in various different voices of "Poppykit!" and "No, get back here!" The slender she-cat chuckled and shook her head to herself in mild amusement. That little kit was always getting under everyone's paws, it was a wonder she hadn't managed to sneak out of camp unsupervised yet. Every cat in the Clan would be thankful once she was apprenticed. A shadow fell over the clumps of feathers and bracken that made up the DawnClan warriors' nests, and raising her head Swiftbrook discovered that it belonged to the Clan deputy, Sandpelt.

Blinking slowly at the sandy coloured tom, the black-and-white warrior rose to her paws, standing in the center of her nest while she stretched out each limb individually until the muscles relaxed and they stopped trembling. Her stretch completed, Swiftbrook stepped out of her nest and began to pick her way around the sleeping forms of the other warriors, weaving between the nests to stand beside Sandpelt at the entrance.
"Morning, Sandpelt! Are you looking for cats for the dawn patrol?" Swiftbrook asked. It was no surprise that the long-tailed warrior was one of the first awake, despite her older age she seemed to have boundless energy. Swift on her paws and the best hunter in the Clan, there was no cat who could jump higher or move quicker. Of course, that was subject to change once Poppykit was made an apprentice, she was the only cat who could perhaps stake claim to being able to run faster, but for now Swiftbrook held that title firmly to her name. "I can go, and maybe we can check the apprentice's den and see if Cricketpaw or Turtlepaw want to come."

***

Icerain's ear twitched as his apprentice's mew broke through his dreams of herb collecting, voles and fat pigeons. The pure white tom heaved himself to his paws, odd-coloured eyes blinking open to face the dappled she-cat.
"Yes, Dapplefern. I'm awake now." he rumbled, whiskers twitching in amusement. "Have you been up since the sun rose again?" the medicine cat chided her good-naturedly. He applauded her dedication to their work, but sometimes he worried Dapplefern didn't get enough sleep.
"A medicine cat who is too sleep deprived to tell the difference between tansy and catmint is no good to her Clan." the tom purred for the umpteenth time, it was a fact he took upon himself to remind her of constantly.

Maybe one day it would finally sink in, instead of going in one ear and out the other.
