Soren had hardly noticed the small twig beneath his paws, at least not until it snapped and he cursed under his breath, jumping back slightly before carefully stepping over it and continuing on, with more caution this time. Just as suddenly as the twig, a red and white shape jumped in front of him and he scrambled back, tail tucking, ears folding back before recognizing it as his mother. He dropped his more submissive stance though hazel eyes remained wide, breathing still panicked and he could still feel his heart hammering inside his chest. "Soren?" Came the startled question, followed quickly on it's tail by more feverish questioning and he shifted awkwardly.
"I am alright mother," he began not meeting her gaze, "or at least I am better than before." The startle had more than likely not done much good for his recovery. "I am sorry I was gone so long; I just caught sick suddenly and didn't want to worry you or put the pups in danger." He cast a glance back towards her, pleading in his eyes that she be understanding, he had only hidden himself away because he was thinking of what was best for them.
