How's your May so far, Cheriés?
It's my birth month!!
Sunrise and Whispers
The morning mist clung to the clearing outside Silver Moon's safe house like a gauzy veil, slowly dissipating under the warmth of the rising sun.
The air, still crisp with the scent of pine and damp earth, held a different energy now - one of quiet resilience and burgeoning hope. Warriors moved with purposeful efficiency, setting up rough-hewn tables fashioned from salvaged wood.
Others, their faces etched with the fatigue of the previous night's ordeal, busied themselves preparing a hearty breakfast over crackling fires. The air hummed with the low murmur of conversation, a stark contrast to the chilling silence of the night before.
The injured, both Silver Moon pack members and those from the Ascent pack, were still resting in the cabins, their wounds being tended to.
Jeongguk descended the path from the old wooden cabin, his movements still slightly stiff, the muscles in his legs protesting the exertion.
He paused at the edge of the clearing, taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air.
The sight that greeted him - the organized chaos of the camp, the camaraderie amongst the warriors - filled him with a sense of belonging, a feeling he hadn't fully appreciated before.
He watched as the Silver Moon pack members worked together, their teamwork seamless and efficient, a testament to their strong bonds. Their eyes, when they met his, held a mixture of relief and unspoken questions.
All heads bowed slightly as Jeongguk approached, a silent acknowledgement of his return and the unspoken weight of what had transpired the previous night.
He joined the others, his movements fluid and purposeful as he helped set up the tables, his hands moving with practiced ease.
The morning sun, a pale gold disc peeking through the dissipating mist, cast long shadows across the clearing, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the air.
The scent of woodsmoke and roasting meat hung heavy, mingling with the crisp morning air, a comforting contrast to the metallic tang of blood that had lingered the night before.
A cheerful fire crackled merrily nearby, casting a warm glow on the faces of the warriors as they prepared breakfast; the air buzzed with the low hum of conversation and the clinking of metal against wood.
"Morning, sleepyhead," a voice drawled, breaking the peaceful rhythm of their work. Jeongguk looked up to see Yoongi leaning against a sturdy oak tree, arms crossed, a faint smirk playing on his lips.
The smirk was subtle, almost imperceptible to a stranger, but Jeongguk knew it well; it was the smirk of someone who knew something he didn't want them to know, and was relishing the opportunity to tease him about it.
The early morning sun glinted off Yoongi's pale skin, highlighting the sharp angles of his face, making him look even more enigmatic than usual.
"Sleep well?"
Jeongguk managed a tired but genuine smile, his cheeks flushing slightly. He couldn't quite meet Yoongi's gaze, the playful challenge in his friend's eyes making him feel self-conscious.
