hide and seek

He was teaching his companions how to craft when the call for him sounded. Turning his crimson gaze towards the border of the Antiox, Acere stood and told them to stay, leaving them careful instructions on what to do next for their project. He headed out then to meet with...what was his name? He searched his memory, knowing he heard that call once or twice before, but not for him. He trotted across the snow as he thought back to the last time he heard that voice, and realized it was Hannibal. The Male who had challenged for his nephews throne and lost. He had met him once before a few seasons ago as well, and he had nothing against the man. The business between him and his nephew was not his concern, after all.

Upon drawing closer to the borders, he noticed a pale body racing towards the albino creature. His brow lifted as he realized that that was the girls father. He hadn't met personally with Recluse since Tyranis had brought her among them, wanting to give her time to adjust and get used to their presence before approaching her. As he neared them, he stopped a respectful distance away as he observed the pair. While he didn't want to interrupt their reunion, Hannibal had come for a reason, right? Was it to reclaim his daughter? "Can I help you, Hannibal?" He would ask respectfully, noting the scent of a pack he had smelled for a brief time during the recent festival. He didn't know anything about that new pack, but it seemed Hannibal...led it? Judging by the man's smell, he was definitely an alpha.
