Warnings on the Wind

Her swift response made him grateful, and he lifted his head to greet her. “No, I’m afraid it isn’t.” He began in common, then shifted into the easier tongue, knowing she’d see how serious matters were in the fact that he used the family language to warn her. There was a deeper level to the language than the casual use of common tongue that everyone could understand.

"Faigh do phacáiste le chéile agus sábháilte i gcroílár na Lirim. Bí cinnte aon cheann de do leanaí atá ar iarraidh, agus seiceáil le Zuriel a dhéanamh cinnte go léir a cuid leanaí slán chomh maith." His fathomless sapphires met her mismatched gaze, so much like their mother’s, wanting her to understand that this was urgent. His explanation was swift, fluently given.

"Ceann de mo chomhaltaí nua Rinneadh ionsaí agus iachall ag fear a ghlaonn féin Satan. Shades de donn, le masc bán ar a aghaidh, agus súile dearg. raped sé í, Faite, agus gortaíodh go dona í. Tharla sé suas ó thuaidh, agus tá Lirim Is le fada an pacáiste is gaire ó thuaidh."

He rose to his paws, fore-end shifting toward the north, even as he continued, still quickly, knowing he needed to be swift here if he was to catch up with Justice. "Tá sí le Tornach sa Raon; d'éirigh sí a fháil amach agus é a dhéanamh go dtí seo. Cad atá níos mó, a dúirt sí liom go raibh comharthaí nach raibh sé ina aonar ar bun ann, agus gur féidir iad a eaters mac tíre."

He stopped, though his paws shifted, ready to move again as he added with a heavy trace of worry for his pack members, "Creed agus rianta Valor tá ba chúis ó thuaidh, freisin, Faite. Féadfaidh siad a bheith i mbaol; chaill siad an gcruinniú cúpla lá ó shin, agus nach bhfuil mé gafa n-rianta áit ar bith ar fud bhaile, agus tá aon duine níos úire ná na cinn a fuair mé, agus Cirt leanúint orthu anois, agus mar sin ní mór dom a bheith imithe i ndáiríre, anois."

He frowned, finishing with, “Keep your kids and our niece and nephews, and Zuriel safe.” With that he stepped forward, aiming to dash a quick lick on his sibling’s cheek before whirling on his haunches and leaping forward toward the north, warning given. He didn’t doubt that his astute sibling would guess his intentions if he found the wolf that had dared harm one of his pack members. So he wasn’t going to let her stop him. Especially since he had to catch Justice.

There was an odd sense of grim humor that he was seeking justice, both as the wolf and an outcome in payment for the pain of his charge.
