They Left Us Alone

 
The male was left waiting for a small amount of time before the first arrival came to greet him. A little girl, silver and white, approached, asking if he was her brother. Vitus arched a brow... How... How was he supposed to answer that? Did his mothers have another litter? He hadn’t gotten the chance to get many updates from Athena before Bacchus called his challenge... He flicked his ears back slightly, parting his lips but hesitating. Talking was not something done easily for the brute. Perhaps Carlisle...?

He glanced for the owl, finding that Carlisle had winged down to the earth and was resting off to his right. The intelligent creature looked upon the young maiden, head tilting to the side. Yet before Carlisle had a chance to inquire anything Tib showed up, confirming it for them all. They were siblings.

Vitus shifted his gaze to Tiburtius. He dipped his head, offering a small smile to both his littermate and apparent younger sibling. “You too.” He looked at Jayne next, dipping his head. “Nice to meet you.”

Carlisle fluttered a bit closer to his wolf companion. “Dreadfully sorry about disappearing you know.” The owl was going to continue on when he spied Athena. A heartbeat later Vitus noticed her too. As she embraced him the young man wrapped his head around her neck, closing his eyes. “...and I you, mother.” He spoke shorter sentences, voice quiet to not put too much additional strain on his throat.

“As I was going to say... Our apologies for wandering off. Vitus was determined after the challenge to find Bacchus and Archie but alas it seems the search was all for naught. He wanted to keep searching to bring them both home but I figured it would be best to return to Boreas before you thought they were all lost... And here we are.”
