Set at the Great Tribe, nighttime. Udanvti (deer spirit guide) is visible, and Unatsi is angsting about the Tribe not liking him when he does nothing for the Tribe. :|

A couple of years had passed since the kidnappings, and Unatsikanogeni still did not feel like he had been welcomed back into the Tribe. It was something that haunted him every day of his life, and he moved but meekly through the huts toward the border he'd guarded once upon a time. It had been so easy then, doing no more than staring out at the wilderness or running alongside the hunters as they worked. The title of Ayastigi had truly been no more than a title, until he'd been expected to do something -- and then it became a burden the red wolf could not bear.

He scowled as he stood at the edge of the territory, looking out as he'd done numerous times before, wishing that he could throw his past behind him. He was ready to cast the Tribe aside and go on to where luperci would take care of him, not give him the stink-eye when he shuffled past. Their still-judging eyes made him uncomfortable, and so he shirked his duties even more, and the cycle repeated itself until the kindling threatened to catch fire in his chest.

Tohiju, Unatsi? breathed a mild voice behind him. His notched ear flicked back, but he was sullenly silent until quiet steps approached his side. This time he did turn his head, looking at the doe. Her soft, long face was as patient and gentle as ever, but there was a drive behind those herbivore eyes that no Tribemember could mistake. Her ears came forward. Dohadvne?

Vtla gohusdi, Unatsi responded tartly. As is always the case. He wrapped his opposite shoulder with his white arm, his posture turning uncertain, withdrawn, as it usually was when it didn't burst into violence. He couldn't stand her interrogations since she'd shown herself to him, but like any luperci raised in the Tribe, he understood the wisdom in the spirit guide. He wasn't so hateful toward the Tribe that he would forsake her words; that would be doing insult to the culture he loved more than to the wolves around him.

Udanvti sighed but did not move, only staring out past the border with him. Behind them the Great Fire crackled and cast its light, while the stars on the horizon flickered in and out of sight.

He had heard about what had happened to Unatsikanogeni Adahy and couldn’t help but feel pity for the male. What did he think was involved in being an Ayastigi? But he didn’t think that the Great Tribe was the best place for the man. So he headed away from the village to seek out Unatsi and give him some advice and maybe encouragement. He knew that many of his colleagues thought the male was a coward. Aranck wasn’t so sure what he thought. He could understand not liking war but there was duty to be considered.

But what could the elder male suggest to the younger? The only place that he could think of was AniWaya but how would they feel about someone from the Great Tribe in their midst? Maska had likely made them wary of every single member of the Tribe. But then he was heading there so why not Unatsi? That was something to consider.

He found him at the edge of the territory and considered Unatsi for a moment. His whole body showed he was miserable. Taga nodded slightly at his charge and Aranck approached the male. "Unalihelitseti, Unatsi. Dohitsu?" He figured there might be some frustration or hostility directed towards him but was pretty it had little to do with him.

Wasn't sure if Aranck was still Ookah at this point, but I went ahead and said he was. >__>; Or at least Unatsi doesn't know he's gonna leave yet. Also, sorry for not writing much; I wasn't sure what to put, so Aranck can talk at him. x3

It seemed like forever that Unatsikanogeni stood there, until the doe sent him the vague impression of forward movement. It was a sufficient enough warning that another Tribe member was approaching, and he did his best to make himself look bigger, more confident -- an impossible feat with his mental state and underbuilt, rangy body. Who was he kidding, anyway? Most of the Tribe hated him already, although his theory of their reasons was far different than Udanvti's.

An aged voice greeted him, and the red wolf turned around with surprise despite the forewarning from his guide. The Ookah was a greatly respected wolf among the Tribe, being a former council member and kin to many other notable luperci. It overwhelmed Unatsi for a moment that the priest would address him, but he quickly frowned and crossed his arms -- to Udanvti's displeasure.

Tosigwu, Unatsi replied to the other's question; it was far too obvious that the response was courtesy rather than the truth.

Unelanvhi udadolisdi, Ookah, the doe spirit guide said to make up for her charge's aloofness. Did you want something?
