The call from his alpha and uncle was not one Deus was about to ignore, though he couldn't help but feel a squeeze of worry in his chest. Had someone else died? He hadn't handled Aureus' death as well as he should have, the topic was always at the front of his mind and everything seemed to be a cruel reminder of his uncle's passing. Still, the yearling squeezed out of his roughly dug den and headed slowly towards where the call had originated.

Seeing his big sister there already at least eased some worry and he gave her a small smile as he approached, seating himself beside her much smaller form and looking up at his uncle. He tried to keep the worry from his face, but still cast nervous glances to the sides. Was there something wrong with his mother or father? Is that why he'd called them both? "Yes, Uncle?" Reaching up with one paw he removed his cowboy hat, placing it between his paws and running his claws across it gently while he waited to see why they'd been summoned.
