"Pardon," LifeSimmer breathes light and quick. "Have I missed the morning patrol?" Thorn raised her head,as if to say, where were you? Planet Jupiter? The gray she-wolf sighed, "Yes." Not looking at the she-wolf's face directly, Thorn could feel the sudden grief, rage and homesickness that always accompanied the tailless she-wolf. She reminded Thorn too much of her past predicaments and how she became a rogue for a year before joining the Fallen pack. Thorn growled, her hazel eyes looking off into the forest as if she weren't there but somewhere else. Maybe even a better place.
Without meaning to, she shook her head and found herself looking at LifeSimmer. Grief stung her pelt and made her look quickly away. Thorn lay her head back on her paws, and her eyes would have misted over if it weren't the other she-wolfs shadow blocking out the sun. Reminded that her life had once been like Simmer's, she looked at the wolf and smiled, "Where were you anyway? Off running around with rogue males?" The new light in her eyes said she was teasing.
