Light Up The Sky [Pack Meeting]

It was with a purposeful stride that the little bear moved back towards the heart of the pack lands. She'd been keeping herself busy since she'd returned, between patrols and poking around with what herbs she remembered from her mother's stores, partly because it was enjoyable, partly because it was her responsibility, but in large part also to avoid confronting the fact that her mother was still not better, her father was still distant, and she had not seen Valor once since she got back. Today she'd been hunting late herbs, and the scent of lavender and motherwort still filled her nose and coated her pelt. Stopping a short distance back to survey those already gathered, she felt her heart sink to see that none of the three were there, but her disappointment was quickly burned away by anger. Couldn't they see she was trying? Couldn't they try too?

Spotting Fable sitting there, looking rather disheveled, she expelled a deep breath to rid herself of the hot burn in her chest, and trotted over to join him. The smile she gave him and the cheerful demeanor she presented weren't faked at all, but she couldn't help but send a hard look back towards the mouth of the ravine that marked the pack's main den, willing her mother to appear there. Or her father, or Valor, though she didn't much get the impression they shared a den with Mum anymore. Where were they? "Hey Fable, hey Laisren," she said as she eased herself down next to her brother. She couldn't think if she'd actually met the Adravendi male personally before, but she had a pretty good idea of Surreal's offspring on site. None were quite as memorable as Regulus or Baine, but Laisren was the only male Adravendi of this age so logically it would be him.

She couldn't resist throwing the distant ravine one more glance before pulling herself around to sit upright, staring attentively toward Regulus.
