Droplet gave a curt nod, reaching the top of the hill. ''What a nice breeze'' he said, as the wind blew though the wolves pelt's. Looking down to see a valley, tiny specks appeared, but the brute couldn't quite pinpoint what they were exactly.

Vixen saw the tiny specks as well. She decide to keep an eye on the specks use in case they were threats.

Tom would glance down at the valley occasionally, taking note of the small specks as well but kept his mouth shut, his mind stumbling to the worst thoughts. Eventually, Tom stumbled upon a small crevice in the side of the mountain. The male nodded to his packmates, "Come. We can stay here for the night." He mumbled, squeezing through the small opening. Inside, the cave opened up more, and a small stream of water ran down one of the far sides, gathering in a small pool. While it was dark, sure, several small openings in the top would allow enough sun or moonlight to filter into the main area, giving just enough like to see. "This seems like a safe spot." He mumbled, scenting for any danger, yet unable to find anything that may concern the three canines. Eventually, Tom stepped further into the cave, approaching the small pond in the back of the cave a taking a few small laps. "The water seems to be fine as well. Although don't drink too much right away in case it's poisonous." The male warned gently, turning around and heading back outside. "I'm going to go find some prey. I'm sure there are a few rabbits, squirrels, or maybe even some newts at the nearby river." He called, his tail swaying gently in the breeze. "And Drop, If you want too, I'm sure there are some herbs up here. I know we have a lot of Feverfew, Sorrel, and Yarrow up here. Feel free to snag some if you find any, it may be helpful." He called to the large brute before heading off in search of prey, not speaking another word.
The sun was setting behind the mountain tops when Tom reached the nearby river. Tom was rather lucky, finding the water to still be full of life. Fish would swim past, and several newts and lizards could be found scurrying close to the water's edge, some even creeping into a few small pools. Tom's ears flicked back, looking up at a crow cawed in the upper branches of a tall pine tree. The male let out a low growl before dropping himself into a crouch, off to stalk some prey.

Vixen looked around the crevice then she laid down near the entrance.

Droplet squeezed himself in. After scanning the area, the brute let out a small sigh, lapping some on the water, taking Tom's words into acknowledgment. ''ooOoH'' he smiled, almost half smirking. ''Ill check that out later, but for now, I need some rest'' and with that, Droplet spinned around a few times and settled himself down by a corner.

Tom crept along the riverside, his eyes focused in on several quail. It had been a while since he had taste quail, so he was rather adamant about snagging a few for his packmates and himself. And plus, the quails were easy prey and would be plump from the summer's food. The canine licked his maw, creeping forward steadily. He let out a low growl before suddenly leaping forward at several of the oddly proportioned birds. One, two... Tom dropped two dead birds at his paws before whipping around to kill one more before they all scattered. He caught sight of one struggling to get its fat little body into the air. Tom bounded forward up the hillside, just barely catching the bird by the leg and dragging it to him, giving it a quick bite. Tom panted heavily, taking the bird back to the other two he has killed. Once back to the pile, Tom dropped the third quail before sitting down, giving himself some time to catch his breath. After several minutes, Tom finally stood up, his breath back to a steady speed. But, just as he went to take the plump birds and take them back to his packmates, a bird flew from a nearby tree, letting out a series of warning calls. Tom whipped around, his eyes quickly falling upon a large brute. "Hey there lover boy," The male growled lowly, approaching Tom with a confident smirk. Tom stared, frozen slightly as the male approached and rammed his cranium into the other, forcing Tom back into a sit. "I see you have some prey there?" The stranger mused, his gaze darkening slightly, "Mind sharing?" Tom looked at him for a moment, lost for words, "I- I. No way-" He finally breathed out. The brute let out a low growl, "That's not very kind. You see, I'm just a hungry loner. Surely, you can spare a quail or two?" He raised his head, his eyes glinting at Tom. Finally, Tom stood up, letting out a low growl, "No way. The quails are my kills, back off." He snapped, meeting the other's gaze. "Tsk- I suppose I'll have to take it by force then. I'm sorry, lover boy," The stranger said, in a low growl before suddenly leaping forward and snapping at Tom's scruff. Thomas let out a yelp o surprise, feeling teeth sink into his scruff. "Come on, Kai." The stranger called into the forest. And just as quick as he said it, another smaller wolf appeared. Tom's eyes narrowed, snapping at the brute's legs and squirming out of his grasp and turning on both of them. Finally, he could get a good look at the new wolf, who had been called Kai. It was a smaller fae and she had a pelt of light gray with a few white markings. The same would go for the brute, a darker gray but with similar light markings. Tom let out a low growl, surely his packmates would hear the commotion from the makeshift den site and come running. Or at least, he hoped they would... ( I bring you drama)

Droplet was just about to doze off when he heard a yelp, surely it was Tom hunting. The brute pushed to his paws with a grunt, heading out of the hole ''ill be back'' he called to Vixen. His golden optics (hehe) scanning the area below seeing multiple wolves, including Tom. Droplets audits perked, could that noise be from them? Without hesitation the male trotted down quickly, standing a little ways from the ETA.
A low growl rippled from Droplet to catch the Loners attention ''Hey, pick on someone your own size, yeah?'' he said, as his hackles raised, getting into a battle stance ready to fight.

Tom curled his lips, letting out a snarl, "Back off- It's not worth it" The male called, crouching low, observing the strangers. They were skinny, sure, but muscles could be clearly seen rippling under their fur. Tom gulped slightly but held his ground. The wolf named Kai stepped forward, "I suppose you're not going down without a fight." She snarled, dropping her body low to the growl. "Seven," She looked to the brute, "Attack!" She spat, darting forward at Tom and tearing into his shoulder. The brute, who had been called Seven, launched himself at Droplet, snapping at his throat with a loud bark. Kai had sunk her teeth into Tom's shoulder, shaking the smaller male and tearing into his flesh. Tom let out a pained growl, at let himself fall limp dragging the fae down with him to the forest floor. She let go when she hit the ground, a surprised yelp coming from her maw. By the time she got up from her stunned state, Tom was on her, his teeth tearing into her sensitive ear.

Droplet snarled at his opponent, who had pinned him down, without thinking, the brute kicked him off, and pinned him back. Snarling viciously, the male clawed at Seven's exposed belly, making blood gush out. The sire yelped in pain, snapping at Droplets neck again. Droplet, wiggled himself free from his bites, sharp canines crushed down on his opponents neck, shaking him, until the male himself got dizzy. The brute hopped off of Seven to get refocused, as Seven rose to his paws showing his teeth, Droplet barreled into him, his teeth meeting flesh. ''Let go of me mutt!'' Seven croaked weakly, desperately raking the alpha's sides. ''Leave my sight'' and with that, the intruder tucked his tail in-between his legs and ran, snapping at Droplet's muzzle one last time.

Kai had stopped her attack on Tom for a moment, watching Seven runoff. "S-Seven," She called, glancing back before tearing her ear free from Toms grasp, turning around to face and sinking her teeth into his throat for a few seconds before tearing her teeth away and sprinting off after the other brute.
Once they were out of sight, Tom fell back onto his haunches, panting heavily and flinching occasionally as his adrenaline began to wear off, being replaced by pain. He let out a low whine, turning to Droplet. "Sorry. I didn't mean to," He paused, hauling himself back onto his paws and crossing over to the three quails still on the ground, "get into trouble." He finally finished, taking the quails' legs in his mouth and turning back to his packmates with a low growl. "Let's just head back the camp... Drop, I can help you find some yarrow once we get these quails back." He sighed gently.

Vixen sighed as she went back into the cave. She had lost sight of Droplet so she didn't bother to go find him. Vixen laid down where she was and then she closed her eyes for a moment.

Tom heaved a sigh and began to head back, his pace slow and steady as he wished not to make his wounds worse. "Are you coming Droplet?" He asked, looking back at the brute with a curt nod.

Droplet nodded slowly, still in shock. Hesitation raised in him, but he turned around and made his way by Tom "I shouldve pulled her off" the bute said almost ignoring Tom's apology. "Im sorry"

Tom shook his head, "Don't apologize." He mumbled simply, moving slowly down the mountainside towards the temporary camp.

Droplet shifted his paws uncomfortably. ''Stay at the camp, ill find some herbs, alright?'' the brute offered, feeling guilty for Tom. The male scanned the area for any herbs, he spotted a few familiars, and a few unfamiliar. ''This should be fun'' he chuckled to himself

Tom offered a sympathetic look to Droplet, "Are you sure?" He asked, flicking his ears forward. "I can walk a bit longer... Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" He mumbled, dropping the quails at the entrance of the cave.

Vixen hears tom outside so she heads out. She sees Tom and Droplet was looking at the herbs. "Tom you go and rest. I will go with droplet in case, he needs help." Vixen said as she walked up to Droplet.

Tom turned to Vixen, opening his mouth to protest but shut it quickly. It wasn't worth anything to bicker. "Alright," He gave in, dipping his head, "But don't be afraid to call for me." He added quickly before turning and heading inside the cave. The heaved a sigh and went to lay down near the back of the cave, turning twice in a circle before laying down and resting his head on his paws.

Droplet watched Tom leave, he turned to Vixen and shook his head. ''No, stay here'' With that, the brute trotted off to the nearest tree, plucked the biggest leaf and wrapped it around his neck. Next Droplet lifted his head to sniff out any herbs. A faint scent of coyote lingered along with wolves, though he ignored it because there were more important things to worry about.
''Ooh~'' the male said, plucking some yarrow. He had partly recognized the scent, but was quite delighted to remember it. Moments had passed and Droplet's pouch was full. Giving himself a curt nod, the brute headed back to the camp.
