Beauregard · 02-08-2024, 10:20 PM

Beauregard’s trip into Boreas was with purpose. He had needed to locate new herbs for Paradise after the raid, though he didn’t hate the other pack for doing as they had. It was the way of things, nature at work as it were. But that didn’t mean that Beauregard was going to accept their loss as the finality of things. Thus far he thought that he had gathered several of the herbs he had seen Noelle use on Paradise… but only the healer would be able to confirm when he brought them back. Still, the man figured he could go a little longer before he turned back and returned to Auster. The Artifex missed his family, his pack, though he believed them to be in capable hands with Garm on the lookout and his mates minding their little ones. He just hoped that Trixy would behave until he returned.

The ashen cream male was nearing the borders of a pack and would have turned away if it were not for the fact he caught sight of movement over the grass heading in the direction of the willows. Dark fur with bits catching and glimmering in the sunlight… a small form… was that a child?

Beauregard’s brow furrows, worry gnawing at his gut. As a father of young children the man knew how their curiosity could get them wandering in the direction of trouble… especially with Trixy… He moved with purpose, hoping to catch up to the pup before a predator caught sight of it. It was small enough a large bird of prey could carry it off… or it could be picked off by a bear or big cat. He wasn’t familiar with the predators in Boreas and what would be common in this area but it was better not to take chances.

The kid, smelling of the nearby pack, was far more focused on the terrain before her as he approached. Beauregard frowned, calling out softly to her. “Leaving the borders of your pack is dangerous - other predators don’t play nice with young pups.” There was fatherly concern in his tone. But… would she listen?
