One Last Visit

Walk | "Talk" | Think Rune only drew his gaze from the water long enough to meet the self same eyes of his mother, a similar blue to his own, and returned her gentle nuzzle to his cheek with one to her own. They were not necessarily a cuddly bunch - probably part of the independence they seemed so ready to give their children - but that was fine with him. It only made the small physical reassurances that they received all the more strong for the time between. And this was no exception. For some reason, it felt even more special this time, perhaps because there was no one around to fight him for it. His smile turned mischievous at the mention of those siblings he thought of, not at all surprised that Secret should bring them up. He was only slightly disappointed not to have some big, extravagant tale to tell her of, and wasn't quite quick enough to devise one on the spot. "Nothing too worrisome, I promise," he assured her, trying not to smile as widely as his face wished to express. Her second question was easier. "I followed your trail," he answered plainly though the hint of pride that he felt at his accomplishment still shone through despite his best efforts to remain indifferent and modest. "You do leave a scent, you know," he teased. It warmed his typically indifferent heart to hear that the quiet dame missed her children. Truth be told, the feeling was mutual, but the youngsters would likely never have bothered her with it though they probably had a right to. "We've missed you too." The young grey wolf wanted to speak up for them all so that there was no question, so that she knew how much her family cared for her even if they each didn't get to tell her so individually. Rune felt as if he had been given a special privilege to tell her everything in this moment, though he wished there was more to tell and in greater detail. At the mention of the pup's father, an ear turned slightly atop his head, curiously lilting to one side. Kylar? It had been some time since the youth had spent time with his father, his scent only somewhat more consistent than their mother's had been. "Not recently, no," he answered in all honesty, glancing sidelong at Secret as his ears perked forward attentively. "Have you?" |
