Sarquint and Piper

Sarquint bows his head in assent and to show humility, for as Alpha, it is the pack which he will serve. But when he raises his head again, he holds it high. "Very well," he agrees, "if you would all have me Alpha male, then I suppose I cannot refuse. I am honoured by your choice. And Windy," he adds quietly, to Windchaser, "I will." This seems to be more of a personal promise, having ablsolutely nothing to do with alphaship or even the current pack.

Sarquint's bright green eyes turn to Sunflash, completely returning her smile. "I believe SunflashFirewing would be a fine Alpha Female. I would be glad to have her lead with me." His smile, almost smug to Sunflash now, brightens. "If she would."

He turns now to Nervelli, kindly. "You seem so caring and at ease with pups, Nevelli," he begins, "that I would ask you, if you will, to be the pack's denmother. The caretaker of the pack's pups and gaurdian when their parents—or," he adds with a smile, "as the case might be for our current pups, parental figure—cannot. The role seems well suited to you, if you would have it."

How strange this almost is, completing, he supposes, his transformation from a DeathMaker. Finishing what started the first time he had looked into the eyes of the Changerwolf SmallWonder, so long ago, in the midst of battle. And he did it on his own, without the Changers' magick. If only... No, he shakes the thoughts out of his head. He can't dwell on his own, personal grievances so much anymore. It requirs, he knows, a laying down of part of your own life—which lives for you and dreams for you—to be an Alpha, who must live and dream for his pack. It had been some time since last he had held the title of Alpha. How different that was, though, to what this will be. And requiring a completely different kind of leadership.

But as Sarquint looks around the Clan, he nods to himself, and is glad that, at last, he has reached the other pole.




Having not been in the company of many others before she came here, Piper isn't sure what Windchaser means by 'popular'. So, instead, she just tells her adopted mother about the fish. "Dey're very pretty, 'n' have all kindsa stories," she pauses, adding after a thought, "if you listen. But mostly dey're pretty, wit lotsa golds'n'blues'n'reds! 'Specially swimmin' round in dat water. I'll take you to see 'em, momma, after all dis is done." Piper doesn't particularily notice that she's called Windy 'momma', it only seems natural to her. WindChaser is the first shewolf she's been able to snuggle against, be cleaned by, even tickled. She hasn't forgotten Zodiac, and she knows that's her real mother, she knows she's Zodiac's daughter, but... Windy was just like her now mother, and Piper sees no reason not to call her such.

Piper looks back to the other pack. Her attention is especially caught when Sunflash is referred to as her great-aunt. She watches the white shewolf, mesmerized for a moment. But when Seroko calls on her opinion, she nods frankly, and says, trying to make herself sound important and serious like they adults, "Dey'll do."
