Autumn Riot

 


Walk | Talk | Think

Gale's perked ears heard the small muttered phrase her earthy brother made, and grinned quietly to herself even as she lapped at the water of the falls. Ah, so he had not heard yet. Maybe word did not get around the pack quite so quickly as she had originally thought, though that was no wonder. She had been sensing a bit of a rift forming within their pack, a bit of distance that pulled each of them in different directions along paths that they had either chosen for themselves or that had chosen them. Work and relationships alike seemed impossible to ignore, and just a bit Gale wished they might have been closer, or at least close enough for this mission she harbored to have gotten around through the chain of her siblings.

Licking her lips, the little wolf backed a step away from the waterfall and lifted her head to peer at Terrae as he nosily inquired about the mission she had been sent on. Well, that was a relief at least. He was still curious, which meant he still cared. Her smile was just a touch prideful, the lift to her chin echoing the casual self-importance of her tone as she answered, "I've been enlisted to find someone. You've probably seen the kid around the pack lands, yeah? Young guy, brown fur, real spunky?" Or maybe he had not; everyone was so busy these days. "Anyway, he's missing his dad. I'm supposed to track him down and bring him home to his son." So far, she had had little luck with it, but it was still early in the mission. There was time yet to succeed.
