[b][i][u]Stardust Vale Pack – Pantalaimon[/b][/i][/u]

Pan kept his head low to the ground as he trotted through the trees, he stayed in quiet contemplation for a long time. The cold wind brushed over his dark pelt, he ran his tongue along the side of his muzzle as he moved the coppery taste of dried blood sticking to his tongue as he retracted it back into his mouth. He had a wound across the bridge of his muzzle, his dark coloration hid it well but the smell was unmistakable, his eyes flicked around their surroundings taking in the thick woodland around them, the smell of pine filled his nose as they moved he studied the tree trunks as they passed them, noting claw marks on a few of them he couldn’t decipher who the indentations were caused by. However he was sure they were headed in the right direction, his blue sky blue eyes switched to scan the snow covered floor, he hopped over a small mound stress lines appeared along the bridge of his muzzle his tongue lolling out of his mouth as he panted. Feeling the wound on his muzzle stretch uncomfortably. 

He looked sidelong at Sequoia his ear swiveling around to rest on her as she spoke, his other ear continued to flicker in an arc around his head trying to catch every sound it could, the scratch of tiny claws skittering across the bark of a fallen branch, the lonely chirp of a bird flapping loudly above their heads. His tail flicked behind him as he trotted forward his eyes returning to Sequoia once she had finished talking, he felt unease rise through him at her words as she pretty much solidified his worry. “Thank you for reminding me...” He grumbled at her, his ears flicking back momentarily. “I’ll tell you the only thing that can come of this meeting, an alliance” He told her, his voice piercing the silence that seemed to surround them. He looked away from her again, his eyes narrowing as he felt pressure build in his face. “I don’t know” He admitted to her falling silent, as his mind tried to wrap itself around the idea. He had to do this, he had to make this happen for everyone’s sake. His thoughts were dark and confusing, it affected his facial expression his dark and face creased with worry.

He blinked as he felt something bump against his side, looking up as he had been brought out of a trance he pricked his ears towards Sequoia, taking in her playful expression. He was taken aback by her words as she shot off in front of him. “Wait, what?!” keeping Sequoia within his sights as his paws dug into the snow propelling him forward, his pelt glistened in the scattered light that filtered through the trees as he sprinted after her. The thrill of the chase momentarily pushed all thoughts from his mind, as the wind whistled through his pelt ruffling the dark colored fur, his mouth opened as he gulped in the crisp winter air, his muscles leaping into life as he chased after Sequoia, ears flicking back as the wind whistled past them. His eyes alight with joy as he shortened the distance between them, completely losing sight of their objective the seriousness of their situation. He playfully nudged Sequoia’s hind quarters as he closed in on her, pulling up next to her as he leapt over a tree stump. The world around them a blue of movement as their feet pounded against the snow, breath escaping him in rattled pants he was born to run.

Bane’s ears flicked to the side resting on Rose as she approached him, he looked at her briefly before grumbling in his throat and looking away. “Fine” He muttered, not meaning to seem hostile but he was wound so tight he couldn’t help it. His ears dropped a little as she licked his cheek affectionately, he relaxed his stance a little still watching the horizon he flicked his ears back at what Rose said, his muzzle wrinkling as he looked back at her. “No, I’m fine treat yourself first” Bane grunted looking at the sad eyes she was pulling [i]Those eyes...[/i] His muzzle twitched more and he turned away with a grumble so he didn’t have to see those sad eyes...With a forced sigh Bane sat back on his haunches, turning her side to her as if in permission. “Cheater...” He grumbled at her, one ear flicking to the side and focusing on her. “Are you ok?” He asked Rose after a few moments of silence. Such a simple question yet from the way he said it, it held a lot more depth he was ashamed to admit he didn’t know how well his pack was taking all of this...his pack...He looked at Tarkutt approvingly before turning his head away to scan the surrounding area again.
