@Polaris North@Nikki Moonlight@FubsyAngelwing paused on his tracks, looking up from the ground to only stop and nod at the Warrior that happily said his name. He could've just done an indirect greeting to let himself continue thinking, but he was the leader, and he had to at least act like it from time to time.
Now that the familiar scent has stopped in the distance, being mixed in with the deer that he sensed before, it was very slowly coming back to him. He was frozen in the same position but with his head towards that direction. Angelwing's ears and tail tip twitched occasionally as his eyes slowly started to squint. It was- a year or two ago- when he was still Deputy of the same pack. It was from a she-wolf covered in blood as well. He couldn't bring up who this was and why the blood was involved in the situation, nor the reason why this seemed so important now.
Kinow.
Kinow. Kinow is out there with this wolf, Angelwing realized, suddenly bouncing to a crouched stance and almost hitting Rymen with his body.
"Warriors!" he suddenly boomed his voice towards them,
"A wolf that I recognize is out with Kinow, and due to the distance and time span of the last time I met this wolf, I don't know why they're so important to us. But- I recommend one of you two going out for them now. And do. Not. Engage."He whipped his head back to the source's direction.
"Keep yourself hidden away from the wolf's senses unless Kinow needs backup," was the last thing he said before going back to pacing, much faster than before. Angelwing's body seemed to be twitching aggressively in a few places as he tried to force the thoughts of the past back. Occasionally he looked up from the ground to give the current Deputy some glances, but said nothing to explain what was happening. He only did so to show that he was still aware of his presence being there.
@FubsyJust as she finished her meal, Crescent Moon heard a growl of an obvious member from the close pack. Her head only raised up from the barely eaten doe, taking a moment to clean off her snout before turning towards the wolf. Scarlet brown. Few scars. Confronting her about food. Hunter. Of course.
"Ahh, yes, a pack Hunter. The jumping-to-conclusion wolves," she said in a low tone. It was a calming voice except the look in her eyes seemed to show she has dealt with this enough times already. She wasn't lying about the jumping-to-conclusion part to annoy the wolf either. After all, she knew from experience.
"I'm sorry for chasing this hunt for maybe a hundred meters and 'stealing' it from your pack. Oh well, 'that's my problem'." Her voice sounded the same the entire time but with the way she explained it, sarcasm was clear in her talk. However she didn't sound like she wanted a fight, nor even interact with the wolf at all.
Crescent Moon let out a snort from her nose and turned her head the opposite direction.
"Are you going to that whole 'stay clear of our territory' speech for me or just let me go for the food, hmm?" she casually asked the Hunter that was still growling beside her. She looked distracted but looks deceive, just like her appearance compared to how she was currently acting.
