(ooc:)

I was talking to Midnight ;) sorry for the confusion

And quick continuity note - Tero, in my post I said they were "still quite a distance" from the cave, and then you said they were within sight (just pointing out)

Midnight wasn't getting any better. And it occured to Gargoyle as he'd walked along, with her leaning on him... that her scent was familiar. And yet he couldn't quite place it. She was a rogue - perhaps he'd stumbled across a trail of hers at some point? So many faces haunted his mind, sometimes it was hard to connect the dots.

But ah well. Stranger or not, she was getting worse. Gaining Oxia's reply that he would do either, Gargoyle opened his maw to order the male to run ahead. Midnight was weaker now than before and whether she liked it or not Gargoyle intended to carry her - he'd follow along behind Oxia, enabling them to meet up with the fetched medic sooner.

But then a flash of black and white came bounding over the snow. Rushing through the timber line came none other than Glaciem's lead healer. "Asheni!" Gargoyle exclaimed in muted surprise. He was so used to the she-wolf getting herself lost that that the possibility of her finding them hadn't occurred to him. Gratefully the male, backed out of the medic's way, not daring to get between her and an injured wolf - he might as well place himself between a grizzly and her cubs.

Strange. Asheni knew the newcomer's name... Was he supposed to? Did everyone know this fae except him? Mentally, he shook his head. Then, as though something clicked, he remembered. The Redwoods. Ah yes, that had been the place. When he'd first come to the terra and was scouting out a place for a possible new home - and searching for other members. This black creature with the golden eyes had come out of the pine shadows. There'd been another fae too - Aspen - yes that was her name. Gargoyle had asked them about other Glaciem wolves but it had done little good. He'd invited them for a bit of a hunt too and if memory served the day had been a quite nice one - though he hadn't had as much time to spare in his search as he would've liked.

The male looked on the dark she-wolf with a new cock to his head. Had she remembered him at the border? Hopefully she wasn't insulted by his forgetfulness. But Gargoyle chided hismelf, these were shallow personal thoughts. Such things didn't matter when the she-wolf's soundness hung upon the line. Keeping his voice at a calm low rumble, he turned to Asheni "Is there anything Oxia and I can do to help? Or would you prefer us to just stay out of the way?"
