Look What I Found!

Walk | Talk | Think

While the father and son conversed, Gale sat silently. She only half listened with her gaze directed away, still willing her brother into sight somewhere along the beach. He had to have heard her, right? He was home to hear her howl? What if he's not here, she wondered for the first time, and sighed inwardly to herself. Why had she not considered all these things before now? He was a Ferax with a busy schedule, and she had been off on a manhunt, of sorts, for days now. There was no telling what she might have missed that could have been keeping him away.

She had just about resigned herself to her solo fate when she spotted his smiling form traveling toward her and the two relatives she had brought together, and immediately her body language relaxed. Grinning again, Gale wagged her tail in silent greeting to her brother and glanced once more at the father and son who stood beside her, offering them a smile as well. Good, now everything would go smoothly and her part in this could be over and done with officially.

As her brother took over, Gale continued to play the silent observer, only jumping in to whisper Rudy's preferred name after Glacier had spoken the more formal and less liked version. Finally taking a moment to see both wolves without the worry of mediating their reunion, she noticed how uncannily they resembled each other. Did her family sport such similarities? Certainly not in coloration, as each of them had somehow inherited a different, defining tone to their fur, but perhaps in features? Goodbyes were hastily said, and rather suddenly the trio departed, leaving Gale watching after them and releasing a long, heavy sigh once they were well on their way.

The teasing remark from Tiny drew a mocking expression of contempt as she narrowed her eyes at him. "You could have showed up sooner," she shot back, sticking her tongue out at him in a completely mature gesture. The compliment that followed, of course, lessened the sting of his words, and she tried not to blatantly pull herself up into a slightly more proudly seated position. "Yeah, well, you saw him," she said, gesturing toward the location the father and son pair had disappeared in, "he looked just like the kid. And had the cat and everything." Though, truthfully, there had unquestionably been some element of dumb luck attached to all of it. Even she was amazed she had succeeded.

She continued to stare into the distance for a moment, pursing her lips thoughtfully, and added, "You know, he wasn't a bad kid."
