Look What I Found!

He might not have looked obviously nervous, but Gale assumed he was. Not a single one of her cheerful smiles or comments had drawn any sort of reaction out of him, every one received with a focused, stoic look, as if he was concentrating too much on the situation and not on being in the moment. Nervously, she chewed on the inside of her lip. Hopefully this goes well, she thought, forcing optimism. Eilan was a good kid - she supposed - and he seemed overall tolerant. If this truly was their first meeting, she hoped the boy's bright spirit would win the absent father over, especially since he seemed to be interested if there was in fact a relation between them.

Her offer of answering questions was dismissed, and rather than press the man or his companion with idle conversation or questions of her own the lavender marked messenger let the silence settle in. She turned her head and continued to peer over the border into Donostrea for any sign of her brother, of the brown colored pup that had been living with them. He was still here, right? He had not gone off on his own to search again? The thought had not crossed her mind while she had been away, but now that she was back, awaiting the moment when the meeting would occur, it suddenly struck her that impatience might have caused the boy to give up his end of the bargain.

To her relief and delight, eliciting a quick grin accompanied by a chuckle, she spotted the boy as he approached them across the beach, alone and without any trace of her brother near him. Glacier would be along, she was certain, but having Eilan there was the main point. She sat up straight, a proud smile on her face as she turned her gaze from the pup - though not truly much of a pup now as the season change had added on a growth spurt - to the presumed father. Yes, there was definitely a resemblance there. Would they acknowledge it, or would Rudy deny having any relationship with the child?

Feeling suddenly awkward, Gale remained silent and staring between the two wolves as Eilan approached Rudy, addressing him for the most part rather than her. No introduction, just an automatic assumption that he had the right man, and already the kid was getting right to the heart of his concerns. Feeling like she ought to somehow be mediating between the two - though she had no idea how to go about it - she lamely made herself give introductions. "Rudy, this is Eilan. Eilan, Rudy." She smiled, a look that seemed to be both nervous and apologetic, and flicked her tail impatiently wishing Glacier was already there.
