He felt terrible for taking so long to answer his daughter's call, but he was relieved to see that he had made it before the meeting had begun. The worry over Carletta was all consuming, but he had to try his best to think positively. She would be fine, they would figure out what was going on and they would be back before he knew it. He was glad that Alfred had agreed to go with her so he could stay here with Heather, but he was already second guessing that decision. He was a bit out of breath from running to the meeting, but he quickly tried to catch his breath with a steadying sigh. He took a look around at the wolves that had gathered so far and he realized he might not be the only one running late. He went up to Heather first, giving her a small, apologetic smile. "I'm sorry for being late, darling," he said softly, keeping his voice low so just Heather could hear. "I was seeing Carletta and Alfred off. Carletta is ill and seemed sure that she knew where to find the cure for it. I didn't want to leave you alone and I know Alfred has been down lately so I asked him to go with her to help keep her safe on the trip. At least it'll give him something to do, you know? I'm sorry for not being able to talk to you about it first. She wanted to leave right away." With that explanation done he turned to go sit and he spotted Holly, making his brows raise in surprise. Actually there were quite a few wolves around that he didn't remember being in the pack before now. He had been so wrapped up in worry that he hadn't been out and around the pack lately. Well, it certainly brightened his day a bit to have them here. He grinned and walked over to sit near his niece, giving her a smile before focusing back on Heather. |
