Silver Creek Do I Know You?

Sorry for the delay!

Though he had been making an effort to avoid Amber for a time, he would not ignore her calling for him. He'd wanted to give her time to cool down, to calm herself and gather her thoughts. And the same for himself. If she was calling, perhaps she was ready. Admittedly he didn't understand why she was also calling for Spring, and he wondered if she knew yet that he'd ratted her out unknowingly.

He was not close when the call came, but he rose and set out at a brisk pace. When he arrived it was obvious that Spring had been here for some time before him. The conversation he entered was not one he understood, not a language he knew. It was vaguely familiar, the sound of the words. He thought that wolves in surrounding packs might have spoken it, or some form of it. It wasn't something he'd ever learned though. This relieved him slightly, for he didn't truly feel he was interrupting the sister's conversation.

He lingered apart from them a moment, and when Spring's voice died down he continued forward, announcing himself in the lull of conversation. He glanced between the two females, reading the sadness on them but not understanding. He wanted to ask what was wrong, but so much had gone wrong lately. Between himself and Amber, between Amber and Spring. It sound stupid even just inside his head. He dipped his head to both of the women before him but turned to address Amber first. "What's going on?" It seemed the safest thing to ask.
