Facing Shadows

Ears perked at the sound of what might have been some sort of alarm, though he didn't recognize the creature. He took a few steps forward as he sniffed at the ground, the Male carefully listening for any response. "Come in Acere..." He was surprised by the voice he heard, recognizing it as one of Abaven's members...one of Ruina's former members. What was she doing out here in such dangerous lands alone? He slowly approached the den where she hid, noting that it smelled like herbs. "Tana? How...long have you been here?" The better question...why was she here? Didn't she have pups?

He knew he didn't really know her well, if at all. He had mainly tried to stay away from her because she cowered everytime he was near. He understood the reason to be due to his former affiliation with Ruina, but that hell hole was well in the past. Even if he hadn't been the one to enslave her, it still left a bitter taste in his mouth. He was a nice guy, wasn't he? Or he tried to be when he wasn't doing official business stuff.
