The first place the male thought to seek out Circe was her families homeland. Hannibal had marched very south to the continent of Auster. He hoped that maybe the babe had just gotten cold feet about being in Ashen with Archon being so involved with the Kleins and she sought solace in her former home. Or maybe she was just paying them a visit and hadn't come back yet. Many thoughts filled his brain in waves of worrisome flutters. He didn't know what to do or think and decided actions would help more then anything. Actually venturing out himself and seeking her would be his best bet. At least until Deathbelle gave birth. Hannibal reached the borders with ease. Pale eyes darted around and his mouth opened to taste the air. The Risen Empire's scent was strong and wafted from every inch of the wilderness. The male's head was high as he called upon the alpha but his demeanor was not overpowering in any way. The male was a guest to the pack and had no desire to appear hostile. He only meant to ask questions for now. speech

Malleus answered the call promptly and was surprised to find Hannibal waiting for him on the border. He didn't know the man personally, but he had been present at the challenge where Hannibal had lost his freedom to Archon. The titan was displeased with his brother's current affairs so seeing who he thought was a messenger from the Abraxas family's black sheep caused the corners of his mouth to depress. He stopped before the smaller man and looked him up and down before saying dryly, "I assume you don't bring good tidings so tell me, what has my brother done now?" It occurred to Malleus that, knowing Archon and his proclivities, disaster of some stripe wasn't out of the question, so he added, "Or have his heretical ways finally brought about his demise?"
