return of the phantom stranger

The child tilted his head and looked up to Theory slowly as she appeared beside him and offered a quick nudge and invitation forward. The young boy remained silent, watching her for a moment as she turned from him and closed the distance between herself and the other she wolf. Void stood up and toddled forward, bright blue and lavender eyes curious and ears perked forward as he took in their conversation.

He looked from the stranger, Rose, and back to his cousin. ”Theo, what rank am I?” Void’s voice was a soft whisper as he found his gaze returning to the girl at the water. Without waiting for an answer he made his way closer to the spring. He really wanted his drink, but with all the excitement he wasn’t sure if he would return to sleep.
