Caught up in tracking as he was, the wary ranger still kept part of his attention on his surroundings. Anything could have moved into the Pines since they had been gone - bear, cougar, wolf. So when the soft sound of paws behind him came close enough to hear, Gryphon's ears immediately flicked toward the sound, and his sleek earthen head turned. He wasn't sure if he was surprised to have found Lykos to be there, or rather to have seemingly been following him. All that time in the pack he could have tried to seek Gryphon out and hadn't, so why would he be following him now?

Gryphon watched him neutrally, silently, for a long measuring moment before he moved to stalk closer to his larger, darker brother. Closer, but not close, and he stared at him over an expanse that felt like fathoms distant despite being near enough to speak easily.

"Hey asshole," he greeted Lykos in a conversational tone that made no attempt to cover the hint of steel beneath it. "It's been a while, hasn't it? How have you been? How's the family? Oh that's right... you wouldn't know. Because you abandoned them. Abandoned me." His fangs flashed in the light as he forced the words out in a snarl.

He knew that coming at it aggressively was entirely the wrong way to go about things with Lykos, but gryphon was hurt, he was angry, and he felt keenly betrayed by his brother having so casually abandoned him. He knew it was the wrong way to go about it, but the sight of his brother made all that hurt well up and grab hold of him, and Gryphon was unprepared for the current that ran through him. He'll the last time he had seen Lykos, Lykos had been happy and playful with him, and then nothing at all for seasons before he had just abandoned him altogether.

"How could you?"

It was bewildering, so startlingly, glaringly out of what Gryphon would have expected from his sibling that it had seemingly come out of nowhere. He had always been so observant, so good at reading others, but this? He had never seen this coming. Kharnage, sure, but Lykos? Never.
