Speech

Torin lead her to the borders, the skies threatening to open up right above them if they didn't hustle. The man hesitated for a moment then tipped his head back to call for Frost or his brother; while his rank gave him some luxuries he couldn't officially accept anyone into Lirim and even though her stay would likely be temporary Torin wasn't keen to be bringing total strangers into the pack lands without clearing it with one of the alphas.

He glanced back at Derecho, giving her a firm nod hoping she'd understand that meant they'd arrived but would have to wait for a short while. And he certainly hoped it would only be a short while, he had seen some flashes of lightning recently and the space between them and the peals of thunder were growing shorter.

Torin glanced upwards and as he did a drop of water hit his nose. He hoped they wouldn't be left waiting too long.

speech & thoughts

She hustled right along beside him, willingly traveling with the male she had just met. Their travel had been quiet aside from the distant rumble of thunder. Every now and then she would look to the sky and silently prey that the storm would hold off. Though she loved storms, she really wasn't into this storm letting loose while she didn't have some sort of shelter nearby. Plus she would really felt bad if Torin himself would get soaked in the storm. She could tell that the animals were feeling it too, everything was eerie quiet and all the creatures were in hiding. keeping warm and dry for this storm. She glanced over to Torin wondering what his thoughts were.

Soon he lifted his head and called out and she took a seat. They must have arrived, but it seemed they needed the alpha present to go any further. Soon Torin looked back to her and gave her a nod, somehow she knew what it meant and nodded in return. She felt a slight knot welling within her gut, the thought of meeting a family member that may not know of her existence made her nervous. What was her uncle like? She looked up at the sky again as the thunder rumbled making her ears flatten. Then her gaze shifted as a tall figure appeared and she remained quiet letting Torin do all the talking. Her silver blue eyes watching.

He was making his final round trying to keep it as thorough as he normally would, but trying to rush it because of the oncoming storm. He had a feeling it would be a rather rough one and would not be safe to work out in. He was just finishing up when Torin's howl rang out. He abruptly stopped, his brows furrowing together out of concern and curiosity. What would Torin be calling him to the borders for? Had Frost missed something on his rounds? The distant crack of thunder made him hurry towards the call. Torin should be taking cover in his den until this storm passed. Worried the tall man rushed to get there and when Torin came into view there was a surprise waiting beside him. His eyes fell on the women beside Torin looking her over. They softened as the recognized the silvering that was much like his own and those silver blue eyes that reminded him of his mother. She was larger, but still had the delicate features that he would see in his older sister. Could this be another one of her children? The only one he had met was Tyranis and they never got to the discussion of siblings. He could feel his heart tighten as the questions formed within his mind, the thoughts drifting to his older sister and wondering how her health was and if she was even still around. Though right now he wasn't completely sure the girl was Storm's child (mentally denying it without the cold hard facts). His eyes then looked to Torin and his eyes held a bit of turmoil at not knowing what was going on, but it was clear that he recognized some of her characteristics. "What's going on? And who is this you have brought Torin," he wasn't trying to be rude to her, he just didn't want to be a creep either if it happened to not be a blood relation to himself. "Talk" & 'Think"

Speech

Torin watched the horizon; feeling some relief as Frostbite approached from within the packlands; and when the older man questioned him Torin couldn't help but chuckle. No doubt it would seem odd to the man, to find him calling for an alpha and accompanied by a stranger. "This is Derecho." He nodded back over his shoulder at the woman. He'd let her introduce herself properly to a man who was likely her family. "I agreed to help her make her way back to Abaven in some time but for the time being she agreed to stay here as a Sagari." He would glance back at her from time to time as he spoke; not wanting to speak for her.

Then he fixed his gaze on Frost. "That's why I called you." The man would not overstep his bounds here, in the end if Frostbite decided he disliked the idea he would still have final say.
