Hunter's Fire

The fact that his largest child had been the one to be kidnapped bothered Castiel greatly. Whomever had taken Viho had been incredibly clever, yet foolish at the same time. His son must have followed the stranger willingly, naive enough that he’d… Castiel let out a sigh of frustration. No matter what happened though he was going to get his son back. He felt one hundred percent responsible for what had happened and had been even more protective over Ronen and Etain since then, refusing to let them go anywhere near the borders.

As Acapella’s hunting call rose up, however, Cas turned his attention to his remaining children. A nudge was given to both, hoping to stir them into alertness. “That’s a hunting call. Come on, little ones, lets go see what’s on the menu today, hm?” He tried to put on a brave face, a smile, despite being worried for his firstborn. Ronen luckily didn’t pick up on it and scampered out of the den eagerly after a word to his sister. With a quick lick to Kalli’s cheek Castiel was also out of the den, off after his secondborn in hopes that the hunt might be able to distract him a little bit too.

Castiel arrived a few moments after his son, glad to see he recognized at least one of the two other wolves present. Castiel turned his attention to Lais, offering a small smile. “Good day for a hunt, eh nephew?” He hoped the other wouldn’t feel left out of the conversation between Ronen and Ella... and he made a mental note to introduce Ron and Etain to Lais more formally later. They already knew about Rassie… so they should get to know all of their family!
