Oh god why so early

After rays strange good morning and abrupt vanishing act it was difficult for the alpha to return to sleep. He churned over her words, she had sounded to bright and far too eager. Had she really seen her auntie? What exactly had caeli said to excite her so? Eventually he realized that there would be no going back to sleep and he dragged himself from his bed as quietly as he could. He kissed anais and aurora both and slipped out into the early morning dawn.

Shaking out his coat and stretched under the sunlight he looked up to the cliffs in search of his sister. He was reluctant to howl this early in the morning when it wasn't anything urgent. For all he knew, she could be slipping into bed even now. He decided to try the cliffs first and if that failed he would look in her den and hope he caught her before she could fall asleep. Despite his reservations about rays behaviour he did not for a moment think Caeli had done anything wrong - but a father's curiosity could not be quieted. "Caeli?" He called out softly as he climbed the cliffs.
