Crux would let Cryptis answer his father on her own, though he brushed his tail against her back, not quite wrapping her in it but offering her silent support. The mention of the girl's pack made Crux grimace and nod. He knew they weren't exactly on good terms with the pack, though he didn't know why. Cryptis was the only Insomnia wolf he'd met, and he had no idea how representative of them or not she was. He could understand how bad this would look, a known enemy with an Insomnia wolf who now suddenly couldn't talk.
Of course it made sense that his father couldn't afford to leave right now, his own head count had been a rough estimate so Crux wasn't sure exactly how many were missing and admittedly his first priority had been checking for his family, who luckily were accounted for. That said he also understood the need to make sure the girl got home soon. He swallowed hard, feeling the pressure of the task in front of him. He nodded, mind racing through what would be needed of him. "Okay." He didn't quite manage to keep the anxiety from his voice. He rose to his paws and looked at Cryptis. "How are you feeling? If you're up for it we should probably head out as soon as we can." They'd need to get Bear and Crux figured that Riya would probably want to go with them. He was tired, but he could rest once he got back, he cared that Cryptis wouldn't be pushing herself too hard.
"Triss" & "Crux"
Updated 04/30/23: Still on indefinite scarcity, please do not remind me of threads I am behind on right now.
Crux has a 6 inch long burn scar on his throat, most of his art does not reflect this.
