OOC! @Tagg backdated to 1/8 set about mid/late morning. Sorry its a bit all over the place. I'm not always the best at starting threads
She was finally able to sleep. Now that Namid had reclaimed her role the ebony woman was able to get a solid full nights rest. She came back to the communal den about a week or so ago but still hadn't been able sleep all the way through the night. Now everything was back to normal and she was sleeping comfortably in her nook at the front of the den. Slowly she woke up giving her body a good stretch before she made her way out of the den. Mercury eyes shut tight as a mighty yawn left her parted jaws. It had been a while since she allowed herself to sleep so late. The extra rest really helped the dark woman feel much better. The burden of holding a rank that didn't belong to you and you had no idea how to hold it was gone. The dark female was glad to have things go back to normal, to have everyone happy and ranked where they should be. It was exciting and everything was looking up. Even this horrid winter now that spring was around the corner. Her colorless pools adjusted to the light of the outside world. Deciding to get a drink and maybe some breakfast Moon made her way down towards the lake. Dark paws glided easily down the well worn path and padded across the rocky shore. The hole in ice that the pack kept open for easy drinking started to refreeze at the edges. She used her paw to break away the fresh ice so that the home would remain open. Once finished she bent to drink. Her salmon tounge plunged into the icy water to bring the cool liquid into her mouth. The bitter cold felt nice against her parched throat. She sat and drank for a few more moments enjoying the serenity.
The lake had quickly become one of her favorite places within the territory. There was something about it had always calmed the young woman. Having gotten her fill the dark she wolf turned to go and start a border patrol. She decided against fish for breakfast. She wasn't really in the mood to have the cool with her breeze nip at her half wet face. She would hunt something else if given the chance while on her patrol. She moved at a brisk trot having much more energy from actually resting. As she moved she thought about checking in on @Kajika. It was about time she checked in since she didn't necessarily want to be pounced on. She expected to catch onto his scent at one point or another while on her patrol but she caught a whiff of another's instead. It was the male who had come back after disappearing before she had joined. She had been meaning to actually introduce herself and become better acquainted with him. She had just been kinda busy and preoccupied to say the least. But now was a perfect opportunity to do just that. She followed his scent along the border until she say his russet form come into view. She let out a friendly woof to announce her presence. Moonshadow definitely didn't want to sneak up him and startle him. Her stance was neutral and friendly. Even though she wasn't lead anymore she still ranked above the older male but wasn't the kind of wolf to wave that around unless absolutely necessary. She gave him a warm smile as she approached.
