He hadn't immediately been worried when he hadn't found Lillith in her room. She had been venturing out more, doing patrols, spending time with Gwyn in the infirmary. He never hindered her from exploring within the Hallow's borders, simply thrilled that she was able to be up and exploring more often. It wasn't until he had finished going through most of his daily tasks that he started to realize she wasn't any of the places he expected her to be. He hadn't crossed paths with her during either of his patrols, she wasn't in the green house. He checked with Gwynevere and she mentioned that Lillith had gone out to collect herbs earlier, but hadn't seen her since then. He even doubled back to her room later in the day just to see if maybe he had missed her some how in his search and she had gotten back to her room without him noticing. He checked the other common areas of the castle, some of his other children's rooms, his room - new and old - but still... he couldn't find her anywhere.

Starting to worry, he went out to the edges of the territory looking for her scent, pacing around the border looking for her, and was just about to go grab Ezra and his eagle to help him go look for her when he saw a man he didn't recognize approaching the border. He gave him a curious, slightly suspicious glance from where he was standing near the castle gates, until he noticed the silvery, pale from laying across his back. Ulric's heart jumped into his throat and he immediately took off into a run toward her, heavy paws thudding against the ground as he ran down the slope. He skidded to a stop beside the stranger, immediately looking over Lillith and making sure she was okay and reaching to help her down from his back. "Lillith? Are you okay? What happened?" He cast a slightly harder gaze toward the steel blue male, adding, "Who are you? Why are you with my daughter?"
