Liam walked for a little while longer, his mother on his mind. Would she have something cooked up once he got home? Maybe she'd be feeding the pups some rabbit or even some deer or boar. Liam was especially fond of boar. He was looking forward to spending the evening with his siblings or maybe read up on some more medical information in the book he had borrowed. He was just looking forward to being home and not being on his own. His mind then wandered further to the days that would follow. What would he do tomorrow? Maybe find Robin so that they could do something together? Or maybe he'd help his mom out some more at Chien Hotel with some of the medical work that needed to be done... It wasn't until recently that Liam realized how uncertain his future was. Usually he went to sleep every night without many plans... just the idea of playing and having fun. But now? Now he wasn't sure there would be a tomorrow. What if Aniwaya tried attacking again tonight and he was killed in his sleep?
That was when he heard the slight rustling sound of paws on dead leaves a couple feet into the woods. The sound was loud enough for Liam to decide that it wasn't just some squirrel this time and it smelt of wolf. Already on edge due to the sudden gloominess of his thoughts, the brown wolf snarled. “Who's out there?” he asked, his voice making a couple birds fly away in fright. “Jackson?” he asked. Maybe his new acquaintance had decided to follow him – see for himself what Liam's pack had in store, considering they'd spoken about the Court for a while. Honestly, if this was some kind of joke, Liam didn't find it funny at all. He was jumpy and wouldn't think twice about defending himself if he believed he was under attack.
But that's not Jackson's smell, Liam thought as his stomach rumbled and grumbled. His bi-colored eyes darted back and forth; why did he feel as though this was all deja vu? He had been in the same defensive stance, searching for the threat that had turned out to be Jackson just a couple hours ago.
