Well so much for the good mood. Sky and Shawchert had just had a pity fest together, with Sky pitying herself the entire time she tried comforting the self-pitying Shaw, who'd come calling for her after what had happened with Orin and him. She wasn't sure how things were going to be from now on; no doubt Orin could end up with children by him, and that might bring Shaw to play an active role as their father. Then again, Sky never knew her father, and she did just fine without, right?
No, that was cruel. All children deserved to know such a kind man was their father. If Orin had kids, Shawchert would be the first to hear of it, be it through Orin herself, or from Sky. Nothing got past Sky in the pack anymore; she'd always hear the latest gossip, wether she liked it or not.
Humming a joyless tune, the wolfdog meandered towards home again, having gone to visit the forest for a quick cool down. Somewhere in the back of her mind, she wanted to see Shaw and make sure he was alright. He hadn't looked well when the two lovesicks had parted ways, and it constantly hung like a rock in her throat when he looked like that. When he'd come calling for her, ragtag and a mess, she'd wanted to cry.
Her travel didn't take her home though. Rather, she ended up heading towards a familliar and welcome scent. The co-leader, Skye Collins. As if a replay, it was like when Shaw had approached Sky, when the young wolfdog had been on her own front deck in her own wooden chair, thoughtful and alone. Now, it was Sky's turn, this time crawling up with a beaten up appearance, heading to talk to Skye in hopes of getting it all off her chest.
"Skye... hey... uh, spare a moment?" Young girl had so much to say, and so little ways of getting it out. She stood at the bottom of the porch steps, leaning on the rail with one foot lifted to the first step. The usual blue jeans and now stained turtleneck sweater was worn, light blue in color, matching her icey-colored eyes. She stood waiting for a response, hoping the older co-leader would grant her that moment she wished for.
