hide and seek

Hannibal could hardly remain standing as the smaller figure raced towards him. Pale eyes stared down at the albino and grey splotched pup. The two words that came forth from her familiar jaws brought forth lulls of water to his eyes. They stung for a moment before he was truly able to move. As her form crashed into his own the male dipped his head down to embrace her and inhale her scent. It was strong of the pack and Tyr's offspring. He really didn't know how to feel. Never once did he think that his child would be in Winterfell. Hannibal always assumed Nephthys had taken them far far away otherwise they would have responded to his many calls.

Finally, the beast managed hushed speech. "R-Recluse.." He nuzzled her some more before moving his head up and muzzle down to stare at her face a bit closer. The babe seemed healthy and he couldn't help but to smile. Tears stung as they slipped down his face. The brisk cold of the north didn't help. "I am so happy to see you so healthy and well... I-I thought your mother had taken you away from these lands.." His minds was a jumbled mess as he swallowed for a moment. It seemed he had completely forgotten that they were not alone and the reason why he was there in the first place.

Hannibal aimed a fatherly lick at Recluse's forehead before standing straight again to look over to Acere. The albino flashed a rather emotional grin at the male as he collected himself. All Hannibal wished to do now was to leave with Recluse and never look back. But, that would be rude and he had things to take care of. "Thank you for coming, Acere." A pause. "I came here looking for a pack member of mine. She went missing about a week or so ago and I can't wrap my head around it. Normally i'd suspect that she decided to leave the pack. But, she was nearly full term with pups." Hannibal left out some information in case what he had said was enough to take some info from Acere. If not, then he would elaborate.
