Emer could have perhaps relaxed a little more as the pups began to play together, though much to her dismay Signy would suddenly decide it was time to take off and panic would grip her once more. "Signy! Taddeo!" She would call but they were already on the move once more racing off with not a care in the world. "Stay closer!" She hoped desperately there was nothing in the world that would ever bring her children fear but she hoped so much that they would at least develop a little caution in time, Signy especially.
Cecily fortunately would remain close, choosing not to wander after her siblings though Emer certainly felt that it would only be a moment before she would have to drag Cecily off to find Taddeo and Signy for it seemed rather doubtful that the pair would loop back any time soon. Momentarily she would panic as she sensed another approaching, mind refusing to acknowledge initially that the scent was a familiar one and she could trust the man. Right now her only thought was protecting her children from the world and up until Signy's break-out she thought she had done rather well.
Relief would wash over her however as golden eyes rested upon the brown male and he acknowledged her presence. "Valerius!" She greeted with a sigh of relief, glad that it was no one else, although to be fair Erani she could have certainly dealt with, perhaps even Twig, Jinxx, Alpine or Sarak. His offer to help left her feeling somewhat unsure, a part of her still selfishly wishing to keep her children hidden from the world. She couldn't turn down the help though, especially not with Signy and Taddeo running off. With their little legs it probably wouldn't be too difficult to catch them but the Autumnal woman wouldn't take any chances. "Yes please." She confirmed, an almost desperate tone to her voice as her eyes now glanced towards the racing pups. "I have to get them, they can't go far." Oh but they could though, she simply couldn't let them get too far.
Before she had the chance to move and follow her escaping children however, Cecily would soon find a slightly mischievous streak as well as she suddenly pounced upon Valerius with a shout. "Cecily, no please leave him alone" Emer warned her, not sure that Valerius would really appreciate her daughter's attack, not that she really stood much chance against the large man.
