Zero raised her head. "Oh, hi Timber!" she smiled, her tail wagging.
"Hungry? I juthst caughth thish rabbith." Timber smiled through the fur, and layed it at her feet.
"Oh, thank you!" Zero thanked him gratefully, and gently took the rabbit's leg in her jaws.
Timber waited until she had a piece, then took one. He smiled at her.
Zero suddenly became a bit tense. "Did you see that loner Lacy and Thunder ran into today?"
"No." Timber's ears perked, then flattened. "What did he want?"
"I think he wants to join," she said. "He has Darkpack scent on him, though. I don't trust him."
"If he's got Darkpack on him, and he does join, I'll be keeping a close eye on him." Timber growled.
Zero nodded. After a few minutes of silence, she said, "Do you ever think life is... you know, lonely? I mean, we're in a pack, but... sorry, I'm rambling," she finished sheepishly.
"No, no.... yeah.. I do... sometimes." Timber's neck fur fluffed out as a cool breeze ruffled his pelt. "I've gotten used to it over time... though that's not easy."
"Yeah." Zero studied her paws. "I knew a wolf..." she started, "who was a loner. I knew him really well... and I thought... he was going to be my mate. I thought he was going to join Snowpack..." Anger flashed in her eyes. "And he went and joined Darkpack. I was such an idiot."
Timber's ears dropped slightly, but then he straightened. "That's though Zero... I'm sorry." his voice held the slightest bit of sorrow for her, but that was just Timber's way. He tried not to show too much emotion, as he had learned that life was 'easier' that way.
"I wish I had a mate," she sighed. "I'm just... so lonely." Part of her wished that Timber would take the hint, but another part of her figured that he liked someone else. He could have any she-wolf he wanted. Why me?
Timber turned and looked at her. He touched his nose lightly to her cheek. "Someday Zero.. hopefully for the both of us." after that, he tore off a nice piece of meat, and turned back toward the dens. "C'mon." he smiled through the fur.
Zero rose to her paws, padding after him.
