icepack campsite

Amber's ears reached backwards and her tail slowly tucked in tighter and tighter as she overanalyzed the situation she had found herself in. After hearing the name "shatter" visions of Cain, Fog, and others that had been lost in the battle flashed through her mind. Amberrose's posture lowered so that her underbelly was brushing against the tall grass. She looked at Nanook with wide eyes, only seeing him as the bear that attacked her in her last dream. His face seemed to darken, only overwhelmingly emerald eyes could be seen looking down at her. "Uh.." No complete words could escape her mouth due to her complete surprise. The scout could only back up slowly. Unable to keep her eyes off of Nanook she didn't lose any eye contact and her pupils were noticeably constricting.

The brute looked up at Calypso and smiled slightly and nodded, he got up shaking out his pelt. He glanced at Nanook and Amber again before turning his attention to Caly. He nudged her gently as he caught up and began to follow beside her.

As Nanook stated his promise, Amber saw a sudden change in his optics. She felt the need to be afraid but simply couldn't. What she felt in that moment of visual contact consumed her fear and replaced it with a simple feeling of disappointment. The scout looked down, removing her optic contact with the gamma. She closed her eyes and allowed her self to slowly ease closer to the ground until she was lying down. Eyes still closed, Amber laid her head between the both of her paws and sighed softly. Amberrose's physique relaxed and her eyes teared up slightly. All her previous questions had been answered. A short moment of complete silence flooded the forest.

She smiled as Clyde followed. She flicked his nose with her banner, laughing softly. Her audits swiveled at almost every little sound, her tail swaying gently in the breeze.

Clyde laughed softly, and sneezed as her tail hit his snout creating a tickle. He barked lightly and nipped at her closest ear.

As soon as Nanook's nose had made contact with Amber's, her eyes opened. He was right, it was starting to get dark and Amber tended to have a fear of isolation. She lifted her head slightly and looked at Nanook with a concerned expression. Without saying a word she slowly lifted herself up and out of the tall grass. As per usual Amber found the positive in the situation. She was glad he had told her the truth. Looking deep into Nanook's eyes she gave a faint smile but it soon turned into a concerned frown. "Nan, who have you told besides me?" the scout asked with a soft tone.

Solar brought a few of the rabbit bones to the pups watching them chew on the bones. She lowers herself onto the ground, resting her cranium onto her paws, closing her eyes briefly.

She laughed at him, picking up her pace a bit, jumping around and slinging the remaining snow up. Her audit pinning back before perking up again.

Clyde nudged her wagging his tail high, then jumping over her, as he landed he quickened his pace to a run. "Come on!" he shouted laughing. Weaving in and out of trees toward his safe place.

The medium size she wolf padded around looking for something to do. Then deciding to go in the forest and restock on her herbs just in case. Neytiri quickly pads over to the medic den grabbing her herb pouch then steadily journeying into the forest not caring if its dark outside.

Amber nodded in response to Nanook's notation. She began to walk back to camp slowly with her head hanging low. She wasn't exactly upset but the information was still a lot to take in. A firefly suddenly caught her attention as it flew past her mandible. This caused her to lift her head up from its lowered position. Multiple fireflies began to appear. It was a sight she hadn't seen in a couple months so it created a nostalgic aroma that filled the scout with comfort. She stood still for a couple seconds, welcoming the aroma.

Channing scanned the grounds lazily, letting out a yawn. The scout had already scanned the outskirts for any more of the pups, but couldn't detect them. His hazel orbs fell upon his alphaess, noticing something was on her mind. The male padded up to her frame, a pup latching onto his tail. He dipped his head in respect before speaking. "Everything alright?" Channing asked, his voice low. He grinned at the pup, lifting it off of his tail before flicking it in the pups face, amused.

Solar lifted her cranium, her gaze lifted to the multi colored brute, Channing. Solar gave a gentle smile, "Yes, Everything's fine, thank you." She said calmly, appreciating her pack mates concern Rotating her ears, Solar listened to the sounds around them. Watching one of the pups playing with Channings' tail, Solar hummed softly in becoming lost in thought before pushing it aside, returning her gaze upon the canine.

She smiled and found herself quickening her pace, letting the wind run through her thick pelt. Her tail was raised high, wagging a bit as she dodged trees trying to knock her off her course.

Clyde stopped as he reached the sound of running water. His optics gleamed. "Oh how I missed this place," he said taking in a deep breath then looking back at Calypso.

He nodded, returning a grin back before lifting his head in surprise when the pup jumped on his muzzle. The scout chuckled, plopping it back down next to Solar. "Good to hear." He responded. Channing knew something was bugging her, but didn't want to intrude or come off as nosy. He was planning on going for a walk later to explore the new place. The male shifted back, wondering if he should invite her to help clear her mind. That was ridiculous, she was the alphaess and had a pack to run, yet it couldn't hurt to check. His hazel orbs scanned her, wondering if the female would be too tired to join.

Solar tilted her head slightly, examining Channing. She gave off a look as if to ask 'what?' Solar rotates he audits as she stared at the canine, curious as to why he was looking at her. 'Hmm..' She thought sighing gently as she gently wagged her tail.

The male grinned softly. "Would you like to join me on a walk?" He asked, one aud swiveling back to the noise of wolves shuffling around in the background. A cool breeze ruffled his pelt and shook the canopy of trees. It was most likely cooling off from the setting sun, causing ebony shadows to spread along the field. Channing's tail thumped on the ground patiently as he scanned the territory once more, still trying to get used to the new smells of camp.

Solar thought for a moment before nodding softly,  "That sounds lovely." She said looking up toward the pink and orange sky, the clouds dancing into the abyss of darkness. The Alpha slowly stood shaking her pelt allowing the wind to blow into her, closing her eyes taking in the new scents that the breeze took with it,perking her audits and she tilted her cranium, before dytetvhing out, digging her extended claws into the earth beneath her. "Where to?"

The male gave a grin before turning slowly, facing an exit. "How about we start at the Coastal side?" He asked, tilting his cranium towards Solar slightly. The scout wanted to get a view of every place, but he would save some of the locations for later.

Solar stood upright as she nodded,  "Sure." She said softly her nose twitching slightly as she gave a slow run to the camps edge before slowing to a walk, chuckling softly at herself. 'Hmmm...' She thought as she looked back to Channing to see if he was coming.

Channing let out a small laugh, running after her. He was caught off guard by her quick actions, but caught up to her quickly. The scout continued at a lope, playfully pushing Solar. "Can't just leave me without a warning." He smirked, eyes locked onto the path ahead.
