Max had nearly driven himself insane trying to find his daughter. He wasn't sure how they had managed to get separated, maybe it was just because he was old and slower than her. That's what he hoped had happed anyway. If anyone where to lay a paw on her in anyway Calli had had to deal with he would kill them. Old or not he would find a way to get the job done. He would have no part of being shoved out of her life the way Callisto had shoved him away. The voices that had taunted him during that time period had already begun whispering ways to murder a wolf that couldn't keep his...or her, paws off his daughter.
It was only when he saw her that complete silence and relief would fill his mind, clearing away the destruction his thoughts had been brewing up. The moon and fireflies helped him to find her in the dark and for that he was grateful one of his old homes could provide some kind of help. He had always loved his tree next to the lake, his only bad memory of the den beneath the giant tree was of Callisto leaving him, running from him in fact. He hoped Delaney wouldn't run, he pleaded to what ever higher power that was out there that who ever she had found had been good to her. If they hadn't he would surely hunt them down, make them pay for it and then punish himself for not teaching her how to at least catch a rabbit. He had taken her to Myraid in hopes of finding a better hunter than himself. Turned out if he wanted something done he should have just done it himself. It seemed the wolves that made up that pack had been more concerned with ruining their home than making it stronger.
Once he was close enough to keep from shouting a small smile would creep into the corners of his maw just before opening it to say relived words "Delaney! I'm so glad I found you, I was beginning to drive myself insane with worry." he hoped she would be just as happy to see him as he was to see her. "First thing I'm going to do tomorrow is teach you how to catch a rabbit because I'll be damned if I ever trust anyone else to help you learn how to feed yourself again. I took you to that place so you could be a better hunter than me, so you would be safe...never again." then he would slow down and his eyes would scan her for any cuts, bruises or sores of any kind only to stop and take in every feature of the girls face. He had loved once, but that was nothing like the love and fondness he held for the girl he had adopted as his own. She wasn't blood but she was all he had in this world and she was his reason for crawling out of what ever hole he crawled into every morning. He accepted the fact that it was unlikely he would ever have children when he found her and he would be damned if anything or anyone would take her from him without a fight.

The moment her face pressed into his neck, Max would bend so that he could nuzzle her just before she told him they never could have known Myraid would turn out the way they did. He couldn't help but smile at her positive attitude towards packs. "My dear girl I don't feel badly about packs, I'm just frustrated with the trouble makers that ruin the good things for everyone else." He was glad that she had tried to look for him, more so that she was alright and happy. He was old but he wasn't a loss yet though his features would soften with love at her concern for him.
He couldn't help but to sit and let his own tail thump against the ground beneath him as Delaney pressed her face into his neck once more. For a moment he would stay that way, happy that she was here with him and healthy. The question that kept nagging at him though was, who had taken care of her for him? Again he would turn his head to that he could nudge her with his nose just before opening his maw to ask her. "So tell me Delaney, who do I have to thank for making sure you were taken care of while we were separated. He or she deserves one of the rabbits we catch tomorrow don't you think?" he would ask with a grin.

He found he lived for that smile and would do anything to keep it on her face where it belonged. Every time her sweet smile pulled at the corners of her mouth, Max felt like he had accomplished something grand. Taking her in was the best thing he had done with his life and he wouldn't let anyone tell him any differently. Sadly, being her parent and not her friend sometimes he didn't get to put that smile there but in the end her well being was his top concern. Being happy was just a plus so long as she was healthy and for that he would give much more than a couple of rabbits...his daughter's life was worth so much more to him than a couple of messily rabbits.
When she told him of the young healer Maximous would commit the boy's name to memory along with the pack name. Though he had wanted to teach her his trade himself he knew, by all rights, that he was still technically a novice himself so he would not argue. To the fact that Ivory Ridge was full of mostly older wolves, he wondered if there would even be a place for an old man such as himself but when she finished he would give a small nod. "Well then, I suppose we had better catch the alpha a rabbit too. They took care of you when I couldn't and as far as I'm concerned I can never repay them enough for that. And if you think this pack is acceptable then I suppose ill give it a shot too."

Her eagerness to be ready for the lesson in the morning brought a smile to his face. He had only ever known one other young wolf, side from himself, so eager to learn. But he refused to think of her as that would only dampen the moment for him. Instead he would start walking towards his old hollowed out tree. "I know the perfect place. It was my den once, I just hope its still empty. He hadn't been here since he left Ebony, but he was curious about his old home.
Quietly he would lower his nose to the ground at the entrance to see if he could pick up any fresh scents going in or out of the den but there were none to be found. He would then stick his head just inside before letting out a sharp bark to get the attention of anything that might have been inside for a while but there was no answer. Another smile would draw across his features as he turned to his daughter "It's still vacant. Come on, lets get some rest and in the morning well see about catching all of those rabbits for our alpha and Qualm
