She looked up from the ground at the sound of large paws shuffling against the ground, Sirius' scent telling her it was him even before her mint eyes landed on him. He walked by her and she was about to find her voice to stop him or get up so she could catch up with him, but before she could he seemed to realize what he had done and turned back to look at her. Their eyes met and she heard the short growl he gave in response. It made her ears flick with concern, but she wasn't fearful. She was never fearful of Sirius. She watched as he sat next to her and was surprised when he leaned his head against her. He had very obviously been tired - they all were - but she had never expected to see him quite like this. It made her ears fold back and hurt her even more to know that she was going to have to break this news to him. She hesitated for just a moment and delaying it only made it feel worse. "We didn't find her," she explained, her voice fairly soft, but still serious in her tone. "There wasn't even a hint of her scent to go off of anywhere we went. Everyone that went out to search said the same thing. We didn't find any trace of Malalia - good or bad." She looked down at where his head was resting on her shoulder and she frowned. She couldn't help but feel like she had failed him even though there was nothing more they could have done. "Sirius, I'm sorry, but... She's gone. Wherever she went, she's at least not in Boreas or Auster." |
