Walk | Talk | Think
The trip had been thankfully short, but no less tiring. The grey male with the black markings alongside his mate had supported his ill daughter for a portion of their journey until he had finally come upon his son - the dense, unobservant boy had finally noticed something amiss and had set off late to his father's call - and from there Eirik had taken over in caring for the sick girl. Thankfully he had had no qualms about it, stepping up willingly beside Keiki and changing his whole demeanor to suit her needs. He was still angry with the boy for not responding to him sooner, but it was hard to be upset with him when he so readily filled the role asked of him. With Keiki now provided adequate support, Rune had turned to his mate and allowed her the same luxury, knowing that she needed it as much as their daughter whether she wished to acknowledge the weakness or not.
Together they had made it to the location Warja had spoken of, and at first Rune thought she might have been selling it short. She had spoken of it being safe and sheltered, and he could see that she had been right about it. The vegetation here was so thick it shaded them entirely in places, providing a cool atmosphere through which they traveled. The burly wolf was a little surprised to note the stale scent that inhabited it, suggestions of Covari still lingering, but said nothing about it. What did it matter if they settled in one of the pack's old outlying claims? Covari was no more; no one would miss it.
Slowing his leading gait, Rune glanced over one shoulder at his family: Eirik and Keiki walking together, Warja assisting him with their direction, and Maia following behind herding her two sons. Turning his frowning gaze toward his mate at his side he figured now was just as good a time as any for them to stop. "This is good enough," he stated to them all though mostly directing his comment toward Warja as she was the most knowledgeable about where they were and how to navigate through it, "We're far enough in that we should be alright." He stopped, allowing the rest of them to do the same, and leaned his head to place a soft lick between his mate's ears.
OOC: Hopefully the assumptions about the characters were okay. x: Kind of wanted to set things up a bit. Feel free to rewrite it in your posts though!
