Justice

The golden dame lay snoozing softly but her audits instinctively twitched as her ice blue optics soon opened to see who called her name. It was Droplet, Umi soon stood stretching her limps and gave a yawn before speaking “Good morning to you too early bird.” She paused glancing at her sleeping comrades and softly spoke “Yes I am.”

Umi emerged from the den soon after the brute and spoke with a slight smirk on her lips arching a brow “You know I’m a bottomless pit right, cinnabon?” She joked adding her nickname for Droplet at the end just to tease him. Umi quickly glanced over their surroundings at the fog which hung low to the ground and the early morning air still had a chill to it as the sun was just starting to creep over the horizon.

“Oh you know, just you average high metabolism.” Umi shrugged it off chuckling then sighed looking away from the brute before continuing “Depends if the old long bridge is still up, if not then we’ll have to trek through the mountains.” Umi had a distant look in her eye remembering her old back the Eastwind pack was her old home now though and no long full of those she knew and cared for since it was taken over.

(oof I'm sorry I didn't see my typo its a log bridge like a fallen tree)


Umi nodded sadly as her tone changed "My pup hood pack it not what it use to be, it was over run when the time came for me to leave.." She trailed off before continuing a glare in her ice blue optics "Eastwind pack was what we were called, until those beasts that call themselves wolves, a rival pack with no order, took over." Umi snapped out of her heated glare at the distance "Oh and it'll take a weeks time by the log bridge, if the mountain range has to be taken then double the time." Umi huffed silently hoping the old fallen tree was still in its place over the ridge across the waterfall. The golden dame finally looked up at to Droplet once again before she spoke her eyes uncertain "I have to admit I'm nervous about going back, I've come a long way since then, but maybe hopefully some of them are okay." Umi gave a weak smile shaking her head trying to snap out of her sad funk, it wasn't like her to be the sad for long.

She flashed a grin, again to hide her unnerved feelings changing the topic "M'lady? C'mon I know that's not the best you've got, I'm still awaiting to hear my nickname, cin-a-bonn." Umi pronounced each syllable in the brute's own nickname to tease him and chuckled soon after. She then paused as her reminiscent sad smile returned "You know what," she paused again to laugh warmly "They use to call me Lil Miss Sunshine, since I was a pup I never was much for negative emotions, hated being in them for long." Umi shook her head. "You wanted to be off then?" the dame gestured to leave the pack territory.

Umi gave Droplet a warm smile “Yes that’ll just nicely, for now.” She flicked her audits at the brute’s other comment “And yes it’d be wise if we leave this early..” she paused before moving forward “And thank you, I have a feeling I’ll need the support whatever we com across.” Umi simply stated, but her expression was meaningful and warm as she looked at the brute. The wind blew his pine wood scent into her nose and she sighed as it was comforting.

Umi chuckled “We’ll be back before you know it cinnabon.” The golden dame trotted up to the front a deep exhale coming from her maw she didn’t know she was holding in. Umi smiled as her anxiety changed to excitement as the two wolves left their home behind.

Umi sighed “That’s a good question, it all depends upon what those mongrels did to my pack.” She paused “that’s how I got this torn ear,” Umi flicked her audits showing Droplet “Some might have stayed, but if they did it wasn’t by choice.” She growled out lowly remembering the dame she fought to get this scar

Umi’s ears flatten in horror “I’m sorry about your previous pack.” She paused “But yes still hoping for the best here.” She smiled brightly as she could. “We’re coming up on that log bridge in a few.” Umi still remained in the front but halted and the breeze brought a dangerous scent “grizzly..” she whispered. The pair had been traveling quiet a bit but once they cross the bridge that was still there it would be an easy straight shot to the old territory. Umi had forgotten however the bears that chose to surround the area as the waterfall leading down to the river below was abundant in fish

Umi smirked at Droplet "Oh big strong brute gonna protect me hm?" her tassel swayed as she chuckled teasing him. Umi followed after him, she'd never had to deal with bears before. She only gave a nod and a unsure "Yeah.." to answer his 'they won't attack question' as the dame trailed off watching the larger animals.

Umi watched as the mother bear and her cub padded away, her ears now back from flattened to perked. She gave a sigh of relief as Umi then turned her attention to the bridge she mindlessly spoke with a growl "Ven, I'm coming for you.."
