He waits in angst, praying that the mother is close enough to hear his cry. Anxiety fills him as he awaits her. Has Emer decided he was to blame for all of this misfortune? He left her when their world was falling apart because he was angry, confused and most of all terrified. His cerulean gaze drops to the ground, as he broods- his massive had rising as he hears the approach of another. So many emotions flood through him, as his gaze locks on the autumnal colored she-wolf. His jaws part to say something- anything yet he is speechless. Suddenly, she launches herself at him and for a second he wonders if it is an attack of anger. Nearly as quick as he thinks that, he realizes its an embrace she seeks, and he raises his head as her body collides with his own. His massive chocolate head wraps down, around the smaller frame of the wolf in a sort of hug. He feels relief, for the first time since Erani fell from her throne.
Does Emer know that he feels safe with her? He feels less like his world is falling apart. She was among one of the first wolves he met in Alacritis- a root to this strange land filled with a large family he didn't truly know. Without Vriel and Vaziel, the only two wolves aside from his mother, he'd ever known- he didn't know who he was. Yet, helping Emer with her children grounded him. Standing there so close to his only friend, perhaps the only wolf aside from his siblings he cared for- he felt secure. "Emer." A slight whisper leaves him, and he takes the moment to take her scent in- knowing that she's okay. She's safe. Looking past her at the sound of another, he sees Taddeo and a flicker of a smile lands upon his jaws, as he raises his head. "Taddeo!" He greets, wondering if Signy was with him. He'd seen Cecily, and the poor dear had been a wreck. He'd lost her again, and it wrecked him internally. What was she doing? Where had she gone? His tail fans behind him, hoping his greeting invites the young lad closer. What would they do?
I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough~
