ooc: bump ~

bump

Cespar didn't react to the touch of another wolf. He stayed still, almost frozen as snowflakes collected on his pelt. He breathed out a light white frosty swirl of breath into the air through his nose.
His eyes closed he tilted his head down to the body that lay embedded in the snow.
He couldn't imagine this body being buried but still he would mourn it.

It was his fault after all.

Warren's grey pelt was stroked by the cold night sky. Taunting him with silent words of winter death.
He ignored this with a flash of hope he kept buried in his heart for safe keeping. He padded quickly to his den. The ancient rock was curved into the admirable den of many Alpha's who had come and gone. The grey wolf was grimly reminded that one day he would die for his pack. But this never worried him, only fueled his strength and pride.
He calmly curled up as his own blanket of warmth formed to protect him.

Kayla dipped her head in dismission to her Alpha as he left with no words said. Despite him not gazing back to accept her actions, she carried out her respects regardless.
The soft white furred she-wolf danced off to her den to dream of everything but winter death...

Arius turned away from the edge of pride rock. He flicked a rounded ear, dismissing a soft brown strand of fur. He dragged his tail over the dust and broken pieces of rock. The wind sent a breeze his way and he picked up scents. Jasiri and Meerah... He thought as he put names to the scents.

He kept his eyes closed in pain. He welcomed Kipcha's howl to his ears. Her beautiful song, soothing his emotions in a long mournful note. He sighed again, breathing out the negativity that he didn't want.
His ears stayed pinned back but in his mind he agreed. He could of seen her being a great loyal packmate if it hadn't been for her illness.
It's not you're fault; It's not you're fault; It's not you're fault; It's not you're fault... He repeated and repeated in his head to convince himself his poorly drawn actions were not in vain.

Eventually the words repeated themselves in his head and he was sick of his own voice.
He tilted his head back and slowly drew out a long, deep, emotional howl.

ooc: Time skip to morning? :)

"Good morning!" Arius smiled as a greeting purred lightly from his throat and rolled welcomingly off his tongue as he stopped in front of Jaha. His bright blue eyes flashed in the morning light.

Cespar shivered and stood up wagging his tail forcefully in agreement. His action not driven by emotion but decision. He tried to smile at Kipcha but there was no way to hide what his silence said.

Arius sat down and gave a quick dip of his head to acknowledge her respect for him. He curved his tail around to his paws, the brown tip waving and then slowing to a still. "I slept well as usual." He smiled. "your brother woke you?" He chuckled handsomely.

ooc: ok! TIME SKIP!

ic:

In the morning the cold winds blew harshly to wake the sleeping warriors of the wolf pack. Cold rain swept in from the North to slide down the mountains that surrounded the pack's territory. Warren woke as cold wind kissed his grey fur. He shook himself as he clambered to his feet. He licked his muzzled and tasted the harsh rain.
Good morning winter... He greeted the cold in his mind.

Cespar regretfully grabbed a delicate hold onto the cold body. Is it possible to kill a wolf once they're already dead?... He hoped not to himself.

Arius grinned and looked towards the direction the snore came from. He flicked his tail and flicked his ear in sync. "You're not the only one with ears around here!" He joked with a smile.

Arius calmly sighed out laughter. It was fun to talk to each member of his pride individually. It gave him chance to understand each one of them and also for them to understand him. He was a relaxed male; while there was peace. Until the day that peace is broken, he will be happy.
"At least some of us are deep sleepers." He said positively.

Cespar's heart instantly melted under Kipcha's touch and voice. Only when his grief had vanished did he realise he was hungry. He licked a snowflake off of his black nose and then helped to drag the body back towards camp.

Cespar chest ached as he let go of the white she-wolf's body. He wondered if her spirit would be among the stars or not.
His heart went out to Shadow for all her loses and all her emotions. He didn't know what he could do.
Nothing, right?
He whined silently as he looked down at the ground, prepared to give the body a last goodbye.

Arius heard the exclamations of other lions from his pride. He breathed in the scents as he turned to bound towards them. A new scent but yet it was slightly familiar. He surely couldn't remember distinctly who it was. He bounded steadily over.
"Heera?" He padded up to his mate's side.

"Kits. I'm back." Iceflower mumbled gently, her voice a pitch higher than normal. Her eyes flickered dimly with sadness. She hoped to StarClan that her kits couldn't sense it.
"Thornkit. Where's Oakkit?" Her voice was blank and almost startled.

Thornkit felt apprehensive to speak. Her tail twitched in nerves but she was instantly warmed with the presence of her caring mother. "He's probably in the nursery." She mewed, carefully avioding the statement 'I don't know'. She looked around. He had disappeared.

Iceflower smiled weakly to herself. "Come and get some rest with me." She said.
Great StarClan she had felt tired since it struck an hour after her kits had since been stolen.
Or had they been rightfully taken?
She couldn't bare to think of them, yet she couldn't get the situation of her mind.

She curled up in the nursery with Thornkit obediently beside her.

ooc: I wasn't going to skip winter for the Mountain Pack so it's up to you but I was going to keep RP'ing during winter because it would be interesting as in the Mountain Pack's territory they don't have snow all year round. It's up to you but I'd like to keep it at the same time for both packs. :)

Arius frowned digitally. "Who's Asuna?" He spoke calmly but bared his teeth in confusion as he pelt twitched with growing heat.
