Look to the Future

Aaliyah would have hurried had she known something was wrong, as it was, she took her time answering Malleus. It was not from disrespect, rather, she chose to stroll to where the meeting would take place. She had just arrived as Malleus spoke, 'We're going to be directing wolves here. Please see to them, Serene, and take care of them until I return.' As he moved toward the border, Aaliyah ran to catch up to him, confusion etched on her features. "Anything I can help with?" She asked, keeping pace with her brother as she spoke, "Sorry, I didn't think it was urgent and now I know I have missed something." Worry was etched on her face, something in his body language suggested he was worried as well, she felt guilty for having been so late and missing the reason for the worry. She would learn the reason on the fly, she knew, and would do all she could to help her family!
