A quick glance at his father turned into a double take, and he knew after a few seconds that something was up. And it all stemmed around Maia. Aunt Maia. It was because she had grown, right? He continued to peer between the two, watching their exchange with puzzled rosy eyes and said nothing despite his confusion. Oh well. Likely it had nothing to do with him, and really Eirik did not care to get caught up in whatever his new aunt had gotten into. There was a good chance he would not like it. But it was rather entertaining to see the way his father reacted, almost catatonic with surprise. Maybe whatever they were talking about so cryptically was actually more interesting than he had thought.
More was said that was even more interesting, and as he heard the statement and fidgeted a little in his seated position the pale grey boy had to stop himself from yelling out, I knew it! Had he not sensed as they left that something big was coming from them leaving the mountain, something that meant things were changing for them? They were joining their great aunt's pack, this place called Covari, and suddenly as he turned his pink eyes on their surroundings it was as if he was seeing it all for the first time. Was this home? Could it be home? He really would have to explore in order to decide.
And it seemed as if he was going to get that chance before he knew it. And ear turned and flicked absently toward Maia as she spoke to him and his sisters, in a sense setting them free from the tiresome, tedious formalities. Brows raising, ears perking, in surprise and anticipation, he finally turned his attention wholly upon his aunt to check that he had heard right and then set his gaze on his parents with a sidelong glance at his siblings. Could they really go?
