What are you waiting for?

Eltrys had set up Alexandrite with her new duties as Haydee's constant caretaker while she recovered from her illness. The teen was left with clear directions about dosage and howling for him if the former Ethne leader showed any signs of distress. He was out marking the territory down by Cattails Creek when Feyr, his swallow-tailed kite alerted him to movement over the borders. Hm... The new Chief padded quickly toward the center of Lazuli Falls ready to give it his all to defend the pack when he heard the harsh bark for a Leader from a vaguely familiar voice. He had tried to connect to Bae-syl before but they had passed like ships in the night most days.

His alarm grew into elation! The scent of Bae-syl and Lucette was clear with another scent he didn't recognize as well but was similar to Trixy.

They came into view, a little worse for wear. Eltrys's tail was high in both status and nearly unbridled joy.

"You've returned! Thank all the Gods! Lucette! Haydee will be so happy to see you when you've had some time to settle back in and rest. Take all the time you need, both of you. Is Alex with you?" He asked, dipping his head to peer into the darkness for the dire wolf hunter. A different form was in the shadows. They seemed more than weary. They can get acquainted when they've all had some proper rest.

"Do you need treatment? A meal?" He asked, elated to see them home after hearing about Bae-syl's leaving to go on his search. He wanted to make sure their needs were sufficiently met before telling them any pack news. It can wait.

"Speech!"
