Silver turned and made an arch so she was once more loping toward Zuni. She stopped right in front of his head and looked down at him, lowering her muzzle so they were almost nose to nose. "Really? Well I don't know about you but it seems I was the only one running. Besides, I bet you wouldn't have what it takes to be a loner anymore" Silver teased.

Zuni jumped up. "What makes you say that? I'd make a good loner! I could even learn something from that Wolfgang wolf Grug told me about before he became all quiet." He looked at the stars. He saw many things in them. But he stayed quiet. "What about you? I was just saving my energy, thats why I stopped running. You wouldn't have what it takes to be a loner if you used all your energy just running." His eyes were half closed now.

"Ha! I've been hunting since dawn and I can still keep going" Silver barked, flicking her tail playfully. "As for that Wolfgang, I think he should get run off. He's just a good for nothing troublemaker." Her words were scathing and dripping with venom. Ever since meeting him in the mountains, Silver had held a deep dislike of the odd loner. Heck he could burn in Hellfire and Silver wouldn't bat an eye in his direction.

"I never met him, so I couldn't judge him." Zuni laid down, still panting a little hard. "I bet your just bragging. You haven't been hunting since dawn. And if you were..." He looked into the back of his mind for a question. Something that would be hard for her to answer if she is lying. Got it! "Then tell me a little about the territory and any good hunting areas."

Silver smirked at Zuni playfully. "The Brokenwood is fairly good for rabbits but I must admit the foxes there are rather annoying and bear scent is all over the place. The Rabbit Run is actually pretty fun, lots more rabbits then here. I didn't hang around the Nuka River for long since I can't fish but I'd imagine for anyone that can it would be a prosperous hunt. The Oak Forest had lots of prey scent but I only found a couple squirrels there and then I came here. I skirted the Herb Meadows and the Dusty Hollow since I really didn't expect much prey there."

Wow, she's good, Zuni thought. "Well, then. Tell me what you did catch. That is, if you did. Maybe you were just looking around. I caught something today, though. A rabbit, would've been two but I can't do sharp turns. The rabbits were sitting next to each other anyway." He shrugged. "Then I killed a strong looking fox. So maybe I didn't catch it, but at least that fox won't threaten any other wolves ever again. It's dead and probably being eaten right now." He shivered at his words. Ew, who would eat a fox anyway? Aliya said she would or Destiny.

Silver smirked. "You sure are suspicious nowadays. Oh well. I caught two rabbits at the Rabbit Run, a fawn in the Brokenwood, killed a squirrel in the Oak Forest and of course caught a rabbit out here. As I said before I can't hunt so I passed up the river, of course no hunting was to be found in the Herb Meadow and I didn't bother with the Dusty Hollow. There was a pair training there." Silver smiled prettily at Zuni and rose to her paws. "Well, now that you've had your interrigation I suppose I'm going to go wondering around again."

"But..." Zuni stood up. "You're not going to leave me all alone. I'm bored and I don't feel like hunting much. Ever since we've moved, everyone's been acting weird. Not just me." He shook his head most with confusion, but some anger in it.

Silver stopped and looked at her paws. "I know what's wrong with me" Silver murmured. "I know what's wrong with Sirius and Bluefrost too but not anyone else. I have a suspicion about Destiny and Grug but I really don't know." Silver turned to look at Zuni. "I'm going to stay and train Sothis but then....I might leave. I really....things aren't good for me right now. Sorry you feel so left out Zuni but....maybe you should try talking things out with Grug? You are his brother afterall."

Zuni quickly scratched his ear to hide his worry. But his words gave away his fear. "Wh-what are you talking about? I can't talk to my brother right now. He seems so mad and I don't think I could help him with whatever problem he has. And... what... what do you mean leave?" Nobody tells me anything.

"I'm....loosing it Zuni" Silver murmured. "I can't keep myself together. I feel like I'm going crazy. I think...I think I was happier as a loner. That was the way I should have stayed." Her green eyes were sad but held the truth. Recently the stress of mentoring plus her obvious confusion about Zuni had started taking a toll. Since she'd turned down his confession of love back in their old home, she'd felt....odd. Nothing fit together anymore. She had to get away from it before she went insane.

Zuni backed up a little bit. "What do you mean crazy? You seem fine to me. What do you mean crazy?" He crouched low to the ground. His heart beating fast and he was so worried, he felt like he couldn't breathe. Like his throat just closed up.

Silver thought about that for a moment. Why was she feeling so...insane? Her gaze turned to the moon for a long moment, then returned to Zuni. "I'm lonely. I thought a pack would fix that but I was in better company as a loner. Some call it a broken heart but I guess I can't call it that. There wasn't anything to break." Silver turned and started off toward the plains again.

Zuni flattened his ears. "Oh..." He wanted to say something really badly, but it seemed as if his throat had run dry. He felt so confused that his head started hurting. What can I do now? This is so confusing. He sniffed and followed Silver more slowly.

Silver knew Zuni was following her but didn't turn to look at him, nor did she stop. "Zuni...I'm sorry. I've said somethings that I probably shouldn't have and....I can't take them back now." Silver was thinking back to their old home, when she and Zuni had tasted love but she'd been unwilling to keep it, still wary of brutes for her brother had been a controlling son of a cat. "I hope things work out for you."
