The ear-ringing silence broke as Aubney spoke. "Night it is." He heard her say. He didn't want to hear it, but there was no choice. What were they supposed to do? Live in a cave their whole lives like crazy old wolves? No. They would meet at night. It was set. "At the cave." He murmured, almost unaudibly. He didn't move, though. He stayed put next to Aubney. Few minutes pass. Rhythm suddenly pulled slightly away, a sign of 'we'd better get going.' Reluctant as he was, he started to trod towards the tunnel that lead to the cave. "We have to hide our scents." He said in a low voice, not looking back at Aubney, for he didn't want to see her face and walk away from it.
Pandemic's eyes locked onto her packmate. "I didn't almost kill you. You would know if I did so." She was half playing around. She rolled onto her back, scratching it on the rough earth. She swung her limbs in the air as she did so, pleasing herself. "So," she spoke in between her spazzams of jerks, "why did you go out alone? If you did spy something, you'd need backup." She continued to scratch her back, rubbing her body on the grass.
