gonna try to average 300 words or less, so don't fear short poooosts
What was he doing at the stables? He had no idea either. He just stood, leaning against the fence with his tail tucked close, even though he was wearing long jeans, a light jacket, and arm warmers. His hair was starting to get unruly, but he had not yet bothered to trim them himself; the most maintenance he had really done on his mane was to keep dying his roots with his slowly diminishing henna stash. But there was enough to last the man the winter and part of spring, when he could be bothered to either find more powdered henna or search for very, very unlikely survivors of the seed variety to plant in pots in his room. For now, he could deal with it. So why was he not at home, curled up in comfort, but out in the cold near the stables? Again, who knew? Strel sure as hell didn't.
He saw a flicker of movement and he lazily turned his lavender eyes in that direction, wondering who it was. From what he saw, it was a paler wolf, but Strel could not figure out who it was exactly; his memory was kind of fuzzy. Curiosity got the best of him and he walked around the fence, leaving paw prints in the snow behind him. In a couple of days, they would disappear under a layer of snow, most likely.
Inside of the stable, a place he rarely went into, he saw Niro. The two of then had briefly met after Rikka had left and gave Strel a note he couldn't read. At least they knew who the other was and could call them by name. And Niro actually outranked Strel, even though the redhead had been in the pack for longer. But what could he do? He did not deserve it much. Oh well. "What are you doin' at the stables instead of somewhere warm with someone warmer?" he asked, slightly crude in what he was implying. But he cared about as much for that as for a cockroach in an abandoned building.
