Janius' smile waned. He pressed his lips together, trying but failing to come up with anything to make Kaleeth feel better. He had noticed Kaleeth's trouble getting used to her missing limb, and similarly seen the despair in clan members with similar injuries.

"I...don't know what to do about that," Janius admitted sadly. Though, a hint of hope remained. "That is how it is today. Tomorrow will be the same, and so on. But we'll not be idle. We shall simply have to find other ways to live well. This life is not over, and it is not done changing, for better or worse." He took a breath, knowing what he claimed was not easy but sincere all the same. "In the meantime, we shall need to do much more swimming in prey-filled waters."

Thanks. I don't have as much time for writing as I used to, but I'd love to goof around on Discord with you folks.

Btw careful you didn't miss Vec's CS at the bottom of the previous page.

Hey there Frettzo.

Mind if I lurk?

Janius wrapped his arms around Kaleeth as she leaned in. The grief of losing Meesei pressed into his heart, as did the guilt he had hidden over Kaleeth's injury. He wished he could fix it all.

"It hurts," Janius managed to say. "I miss her too."

He breathed long and slow. Then he ran his hand down Kaleeth's arm comfortingly.

"The last time I felt such loss was when I first became a werewolf. When it really sank in, that is. From what I remember, I could see the same in you back when you joined us. What brought me back was what I gained and what I still had. It's a comfort to see our Julan, our pack, and...that I do not need to spend my life without you. Those things are real." Janius smiled. "This picnic today will help that sink in, I think."

Been a rough few weeks but I'm still here. Hopefully I can get a post up by this weekend.

Janius had primarily been making sure Julan was dressed and prepared for their outing while Kaleeth was ruminating. It took him longer than he would have liked to notice that something was wrong. Now, in this which felt like the least frantic moment in days, he pat Julan on his side and said. "You go ahead and see if your brother Rhazii is ready. You know he's a sleepy head."

When Julan took his leave, Janius sighed and walked over to Kaleeth. The crutch she had been walking on stood beside the bed, not yet touched this morning. Janius sat down beside her. "I know that look," he said with a solemn smile. "Something is bothering you. Do you want to talk about it?"

I'm back from my vacation. It'll take a few days to clear jetlag and get things sorted out at home, but I should be in shape to get a post in next week.

Not long to the finish line now.

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

That sounds good to me!

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Hmm, I think I'm happy to leave those scenes alone.

Did you have any particular ideas for a send-off? We could have everyone gather up, character by character, for the victory feast. Or we could have a quieter moment. What do you think?

Call of the Hunt [EliteCommander and Muttonhawk]

Hey, I'll be heading out to a three week long vacation next Monday. I might not be available to write, but I think we might only have epilogues left?
