Aava

The alphess trotted quietly into her daughter's terra, banner and dial held respectively low. She soon halted, taking a few looks around before pointing her maw to the sky above. She released a long howl, for Eventine, and then sat, waiting. She had something very important to ask and possibly talk about. About her father... Something was obviously wrong.

Eventine & Quain

Eventine came trotting in her mother's direction, banner swinging lightly with her steps. Her tail raised a bit, but it was only a natural response now that she was an alpha. "Mother!" The wolf yipped as Aava came into sight. She bounded over to the wolfess and gave her a nuzzle, her face brimming with joy.

Quain soon appeared, his dail and tail held much lower than his mothers, and even his grandmother's. "Hey." He greeted with a smile, coming forward to give Aava a quick nuzzle as well.

Aava

Aava's sorrowful gaze turned to look at her daughter and grandson come up. She sighed as Eventine nuzzled her. She pulled back a bit after offering her own small nuzzle. She nodded with a faint smile but it soon disappeared. "Hello, you two..." she said quietly, thinking. "Do you know where your father is, by any chance?" she asked, looking at Eventine with a prickly feeling in her stomach. Nervousness tugged without end at her feelings as her eyes slightly watered.

Eventine & Quain

Eventine drew back a touch, startled by her mother's subtle actions. Although she had detected something amis in Aava, she had put it aside at first. "No, I'm afriad... I haven't seen him for a while."

Quain sat back on his haunches. He had never met his grandfather before, but he could easily feel the tension that had sprung up about the subject. Like his usual manner, the wolf remained silent and listened.

Aava

Aava sighed, lowering her dial. "Oh..." she whispered, staring blankly at the ground. Then she looked back up at Eventine, with a sad, desperate, yet serious gaze. Some worry was mixed in there as well. "I wish I knew where he was... I believe he came home, left home, and never returned. I fear the worst. I caught some scent of blood and him within the area near the eskers. Who knows what could have gone on? I wish to not worry you any, but it's quite hard." she stated quickly, but slowly in certain spots, which was whenever a small tear dripped down from her orb. It was very bad...

Eventine & Quain

The young alpha's eyes misted with fear at her mother's words. "....blood?" Eventine whispered, as if the word were a vile, harmful thing to her. Apart from the scuffle in her earlier years, and the battle that Naraku went through, much of her life up to now was quite pleasant. The thought of loosing her father suddenly hit her heart as sharply as a hunter's bullet. "Maybe he's in trouble..."

Quain shifted his paws nervously, flashing his wary eyes from Aava to Eventine. Still he spoke not a word, and only watched the two femmes.

Aava

Aava nodded. She hoped with all her might that he wasn't dead, but it was quite clear and obvious what could of and most likely happened. She sighed deeply, and looked at her daughter with worried eyes. "I have a feeling he is... Or was. I wish to not worry anyone, though. For I may be wrong. But..." she said, thinking.

Naraku

Naraku ran intowards Eventine, Aava, and Quian. He sat at her side, looking at her worried face,
[Is there something the matter my dear?]
He looked around, wondering where Kanna had taken the pups.

Eventine & Quain

Eventine began to grow more worried as she now turned to her mate, "My mother fears that... something bad might have happened to my father." Her ears went back for a moment in distress before turning back to Aava, "We should try to find him."

It was Quain's turn to speak up now as he took a step forward towards his parents, "I will help, if there is anything I can do."

Naraku

Naraku nodded,
[Aye, I will help you find him. I heard the shadows lerkers had something against him, though I didn't think they would do anything about it.]
