Diarmuid hadn't strayed far from Dómari, even if the yearling hadn't realized it. They had planned to meet up every so often, to scout the land as far as their paws could take them and report back any findings periodically. The goal was to find the rest of his siblings and possibly the rest of the guards that had been instructed to lead the Xanilov children to safety. He could only hope they had made it this far, and somewhere deep in his gut he had a feeling they had. They had Valeriya's blood running through their veins -- they had the strength to make it through nearly anything, he was certain. He'd been trailing after Dómari's scent for a few hours now, intent on finding him. He'd caught scent of one of their scents earlier, he was certain of it, though it was hard to tell how old it was. The mere possibility of them finding the others was enough to ignite a hopeful fire in his heart, and with fervor he pressed on, tongue lolling slightly from his mouth as the sun made its ascent across the sky and beat down on his dark pelt. What he didn't expect was for their scents to grow stronger, mingled with Dómari's now, as he approached. The first one he saw wasn't Dómari at all, but Sigleif. He hadn't seen the girl in so long.. a rare, wide grin broke against his weathered features at the site of her. Hadn't she just been a small child when he'd seen her last? She was full-grown now and his heart clenched painfully at the thought of the time that had passed, though seeing her again made up for it tenfold. "And to think I was supposed to be the one looking for you," he remarked, grinning as he approached her and slid his head around her own, pulling her close in a rough embrace. "But it seems you found me first. Have you seen Dómari?" His own head spun to the side, nostrils flaring as he tipped his head to the air, searching. His scent was nearby, he was sure of it, much stronger now than it had been earlier. Pulling away, he lifted his head again and let loose a summoning call for both him and.. the other scent, did it belong to Alarik? |
