~Sorrow~ (Manahcob Downs)

She'd caught the way Cruiser had looked beyond her, searching for family that wasn't there. The she-wolf herself had been growing more doubtful over the passing weeks and months, as time stretched on without any signs of her mate and most of their grown children. The smile that had brightened her eyes now faded a little, "No." Ta'kali did briefly look over her shoulder, following her son's stare, even if she knew there would be no one there to meet her gaze.

After a moment, the white wolfess looked back to her son, bringing a note of hope into her words, "I had considered reaching out to the Aspen Grove. It's been three years, but.. maybe they know something."
