Emer would try to concentrate upon Cecily and Taddeo, certainly not wishing to lose them as well, but so worried by Signy's disappearing act she currently couldn't find it in her to humour their games or even acknowledge that as it was their first outing, they'd probably rather walk at a slower pace, have the chance to explore the world.
The culprit didn't seem guilty though for ruining what should have been a calmer moment. Emer's own fears probably shouldn't be passed onto her children, deep down she knew that though there was a part of her right now that almost wished she could scare them enough to remain in the den at all times, especially Signy it seemed. After a small apology, she'd clear off to her siblings and with a sigh, Emer would turn to place her attention on the puppy pile, eyes darting around a little nervously. Maybe she would have to take Valerius up on that guard offer, as not for the first time the autumnal girl wondered how on earth she would cope.
