If there was one thing her children seemed to have perfected it was how to make their mother worry. The scent trail simply continued to lead onwards and for a while there was still no sign of her daughter. She didn't often travel this way, and of course preferred to steer clear of the borders but the woman knew that they weren't far off now and that panic from before would grip her ever stronger. At last though, the world would kindly present the pup she had been searching for, Cecily was ok and heading towards her, the distance swiftly closed and mother and daughter together once more.
A small sigh of relief would leave her, and attempting to nuzzle the fidgety child, Emer would take in her daughter's scent, worry returning as it informed her that not only had Cecily left the lands, though she had been in contact with something else. The scent wasn't wolf, that much she was sure of, though none the less she would feel anxious again, golden eyes lifting to glance around as the playful little girl at her paws continued to wriggle excitedly.
"Cecily, don't leave the lands again." Emer scolded her, though her tone certainly told it'd been more from worry than truly angry at her daughter. "What have I told you about wandering away from the den?" At Cecily's comment, another small sigh would leave the autumnal woman. Why on earth did children have to be so cute? Desperately she wished to make herself clear, ensure that Cecily wouldn't stray too much and certainly not too far but now she was melting as those green eyes gazed up at her lovingly.
Description alone was hardly enough for Emer to work out what on earth Cecily was talking about though combined with the scent she had an inkling as to what the young girl was on about. "I think you mean a fox." Emer informed her, not bothering to correct about the size, such a creature was obviously big to a pup and Emer was hardly a particularly tall example of her own kind to be a good size guideline for her children. It was somewhat of a relief that it'd been a fox her daughter had ran into and nothing larger, though Emer would still be concerned.
"I'm afraid not, they probably have their own home somewhere. It would be up to Erani anyway for who can join Valhalla, she is our alpha." The white woman had visited to check up, though it'd been on those seemingly rare occasions that the children were asleep, and so they had yet to officially meet her.
