-At The Cave Of The Alpha's-
'Oh...' Oceanias managed to say, before sitting next to Storm, but in a distance as to not make him wet. Then, she turned towards Omega and asked:
'So how's the pup from that troublesome Bound pair? She still causes trouble to your den mothers?

-Cave in the mountains-
Shimi uncurled herself and yawned. Her sister's smell in the cave faded a lot, so she assumed it must be at least hour or so later. She went out the cave and growled at the dark clouds.
'Why you just can't stop to rain...' she stopped as she sniffled her sister's smell. It wasn't Fea's track, so the elder wolf was near, and judging from another yummy smell, had a successful hunt. Shimi didn't think twice, taking off into direction from which she felt her bound sibling.

-At the Mountains and Plains pack's territory border-
Fea trotted back to her sister, dragging two rabbits, each half her size. It wasn't a big prey, but again, she was hunting alone, and two mammals were pretty experienced runners. She already decided that she'll make Shimi bring one back to the mountain pack-she was, after all, at their border, and owed them for taking care of her sister. As to the second one...she was sure that both of them could take care of it.
She was at the foot of the first mountains, when she heard a happy barking.
'Sister Fea!' Shimi was running towards her, puppu legs still stumbling a little, but already with a speed typical for her pack. She'll leave the nursery soon, Fea thought, while setting the rabbits down and nuzzling the smaller wolf. Shimi's tail flew right and left uncontrolably.
'I told you to wait until I call you' Fea gently reprimanded. Shimi licked her sister in apology.
'But I wanted to see you and I smelled you near so I went out.'
Fea sighed, once again being unable to be mad at her little sister. Shimi just loved her too much.
'Okay, okay. Let's eat now. No, not this one' she stopped the pup from biting into slightly bigger rabbit. 'You'll take this one to your pack. It died on their territory.'
Shimi obediently started the other portion. Fea accompanied her, but only a little-she couldn't afford herself to not be able to run it the pack's hunt and with a full belly, she would have to lay down and sleep to fully digest it. The pup, however was a different story, and Fea again looked astonished at how much of the meat Shimi could get into herself.
'I'm full now!' the pup finally exclaimed rolling onto her back. Fea poked her playfully and Shimi turned onto her side.
'At this rate, you'll turn into a ball and never leave the nursery you know?' she teased and the pup whined.
'No fair, sister!' Fea laughed and stood up. Then, she sniffled the air and turned towards the path, which her sister used. She tilted her head, not sure if she got the smell right.When the wolf shown up she nodded. Sometimes it was useful to have the nose able to catch the smell even in the rain.
'Oh, it's you, Hunter. Have a good hunt today.' she slightly turned to Shimi.
'Guess, you'll have to return, little sis.'
Dancing in the dazzling light, countless feathers goes to a white place...
They become endless bond, leaving fading ache...
