The Warlord nodded his head, releasing her fully and getting to his paws. He wanted to assure himself that she was whole and well, and getting food into her was a part of that. She was his child, and her absence had been frightening and painful. He led her through the forest to Morts den. With Halo and the kids taking a trip to the Hallows, it was quiet and peaceful, though the evidence of their presence was everywhere. It ripped up spots in the grass, to discarded toys. As they entered the den - making himself at home, as he knew Halo would bid him to - he smiled at the many beds. “Halo and Mortis had themselves a rather large litter.” He explained as he opened her supply of preserved food. Good old Halo, she always had food on hand.

He got an assortment of food for Vanta, and settled down beside her with some of his own. “There's a lot to tell you, how about we take turns, and each mention something that's happened?” he suggested. Hmm… where to begin? After her agreement, he landed on something to tell her. “A flood swept through the Col, and devastated the pack for most of the season. We lost Keahi and Ruga, and Stratum was injured” he said quietly, giving her a moment to absorb that.
