He'd been gone again, lately. Hazel knew why. She always knew why. Though she didn't necessarily want to pry into all the issues surrounding his father, Hazel also knew she'd have to pull the band aid off sooner or later. Judging by the fact that he was calling both her and Spider, at this time of day? With a dip of her muzzle to Warden and a promise that she'll make it up to him later, Hazel ends their lesson early.
Concern rings clear in her gaze, along with... something else. Measured reactions have never been Hazel's strong suit. Spider was already there and waiting, and it's for them that the red lady knows she needs to keep her shit together. "Are you okay?" That's the first thought in her head. He'd called specifically for Spider and Hazel-- if he needed Halo he would have asked. Still, she looks over Bas's face, his neck, his chest. Was he whole? He wasn't actively bleeding. That's a start.
