There he lay, peacefully lost in his own thoughts. The males cranium had been resting on his paws as the morning breeze steadily blew through his fur. He yearned at the thought of him returning to his homeland. Questions buzzed in and out of Droplet’s mind. All seemingly leaving his mind as quickly as they came. However, one question stood out: Who’s left? As far as he knew, the brutes family was all deceased. “No-” he said with a brief shake of his head. “That can’t be true-” Droplet muttered under his breath, dismissing all images that had been haunting the wolf.

“Droplet?” It was Thomas who spoke, the small male slowly approaching Droplet from behind, and then taking a seat at his Alpha’s side. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost- or just zoned out,” Tom began, pausing for a moment to slowly shift his weight, “Are you okay?” The beta finished,, lifting his head slightly and glancing over to Droplet. Tom glanced forward, taking in a breath of the cooler early air, before glancing sideways back towards Droplet.

As the smaller Beta had approached, the brute flicked an audit toward him in acknowledgment. Although soon frowning at the accuracy in Tom's comment. "I'm fine." The male let a long sigh slip from his maw. "I guess my past finally hit me-" he paused, "I'm homesick."

Tom offered a sympathetic look, nodding his head gently in understanding. “Ah,” he started, his voice softer now, “I understand... I remember when sheeva and I went back to our old pack-lands.. which gave both of us clarity. You could-“ He paused, tapping his paw on the ground in thought, “You could do the same—“ The male finished.

Droplet nodded at Tom spoke, adding a small grunt when he finished. “I really wish it were that easy” the brute said with a monotone voice. “I don’t think I can leave the pack, unfortunately I have to put the packs needs before mine-“ he paused, briefly glancing at the Beta. “I hate asking for favors, but do you mind watching over the pack? The trip is 2 weeks tops” Droplet blinked, his expression unreadable. “Or maybe its best not to go at all.”

Tom’s ears flicked back, eyes flickering slightly. “Me?” He asked, before quickly dipping his head. “Of course I can do that.” Tom relaxed slightly, looking back up at his alpha. “You deserve clarity, Drop- Alpha.” The beta smiler, swishing his tail in the grass behind him.

Post by Umi on Jun 25, 2019 12:26:31 GMT -10
Umi had just returned from a stroll/self-patrol of the packs’ territory. The golden damsel shook some of the loose leaves and various debris from her otherwise clean pelage. Her icy gaze fell upon her mate conversing with the beta as she padded further into the densite. Her tilted slightly askew, wondering what they were talking about. Only one way to find out! Umi approached the pair of viriles calmly, but her normally sunny disposition altered slightly when she saw Droplet. “Something going on?” The warm pelted damsel asked the both of the lupins, visionaries looking between them.

Droplet gave an ephemeral nod to Tom, adding a few thankful blinks. His audits twitched as he heard twigs snap in the distance, a familiar lavender based scent steadily filled the brutes nostrils as the dame proceeded towards the two. Droplet turned his cranium to face the Alpha female as she spoke. "No no, of course not." he said with a low, masculine voice. "Tom and I were just discussing- change in authority for now." -- "I'm seeking out my former home, I want to see who's left." the male concluded, letting out a small worried sigh.

Thomas’s ears swiveled back as Umi entered the den, his gaze soon following. Once he caught eye of the golden dame, he gently nodded his head. “I’ll be taking charge while Droplet is away.” Tom said calmly. Then Thomas paused, eyes narrowing slightly, “Wait, Droplet, you won’t be traveling alone, will you?”

Anik had been out and about to busy himself, distance himself from the chatter of Reika's young that never seemed to leave him alone. He didn't hate the whelps, but he despised being crowded so often; he was a solitary lupine, not one to enjoy the closeness he's forced to deal with every day.
A hare hangs limply from his maw, clutched tightly between bloodied dentition. He walks right on by the gathered wolves, not showing any interest in the conversation of his superiors. If didn't involve him, as far as he knew, so he really couldn't care less. For now, he'd try to hide away from the young and eat his catch in peace.

Umi’s tassel lashed leftward, “A trip you say? Hm.” Her tone held a curious air as her mood once again uplifted. It had been a while since their return from her own old parklands, it only seemed fair. The golden femora’s auditories flickered at Tom’s words as she elicited a hum of interest. Who would Droplet be taking on this possibly long journey? The alphess looked back to her mate to see what words he would offer.

Droplet met the golden damsels icy blue optics, shifting his weight to an upright position before settling back down on his haunches, tassel neatly tucked. The brutes audits twitched as he recalled Tom's words. A small, hopeless shrug arose. "Most likely" he admitted with a low huff. "I won't force it upon anyone unless they step up."
Droplets audits perked as he heard another wolf approach. "Anik?" he furrowed an eyebrow "Is that you?"

The canid pauses at the sudden calling of his Alpha, ears swiveling back toward the voice and a noise of frustration leaving the dark-furred brute. Rather than responding verbally he turns, stalking out from the shadows and instead approaching the trio.
The tight grip on his prey never slackens, as if defending his kill; he’d just picked up the instinct by now, simply because the pups would usually drag him into playtime when he tried to eat. Once in front of the three higher ranked wolves he drops his kill, though a single paw remains firmly over the carcass. “Did you need something, Alpha?”

The tip of the brutes tail twitched rather impatient as Anik arrived. His alerted gaze shifting from the brute to the hare carcass and back. A small impassive huff slipped from the Alpha's maw as Anik spoke. "No, nothing in particular, just confirming it was you. That's all." - A grin briefly appeared on Droplet's face. "Sorry for disrupting your- solitary time"

“No wait.” It was Thomas who spoke. The beta put it Paw down in front Anik. “Droplet is going out of the packlands for a while.. he can’t go alone.” The smaller male explained, eyes narrowing slightly as he met Anik’s gaze.

An ear angles toward the Beta at his words, expression reluctant as his paw shifts to drag his kill closer. “And I’m assuming he hasn’t yet chosen who to take?” Anik lowers to rest upon his haunches as he speaks, shifting to sit comfortably before allowing his dual colored gaze to sweep over the wolves before him. “Or is this how I’m finding out that I’ll be following your orders instead?”

Tom lifted his head slightly, slinking back his paw. “Droplet has not chosen anyone yet, but-“ he paused, his gaze trailing over to Droplet now. “You can’t go alone. At least take two wolves.” The beta blinked slowly, his tail thumping the ground silently.

Droplet's audits swiveled backwards, soon lying flat against his skull in surprise as the small Beta spoke. He opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it to listen in to the rest of the conversation. Alas, a brief "thank you, Tom-" the male paused glancing at Anik "I genuinely wasn't expecting that, however as i've said about I won't force anyone to come out of their own free will."

"I'll come along mainly so I can keep an eye on you Drop," Reika spoke up having been walking past the group of gathered wolves. She was passing by after having taken her pups to visit her brother for a while. "Don't try to change my mind, I actually want to come."

As the conversation progressed, Droplet hadn't been paying much attention to the elements that surrounded them as he thought everyone was still sleeping. As a new figure declared their presence, Droplet turned his nape to face the familiar damsel. "Reika-" he gave a toothy grin as the female spoke "As you wish." cheekily slipped out of his mouth "I appreciate it."
