Morningside Cuesta if you can't be good, be gone

Yay, happy 100 posts for Kier! :)

Kieran smiled at Khoe as she arrived and stretched out on the ground. He gave a nod of greeting. Though, when the white furred one arrived, he gave a curious tilt of his head. He did not approach her (mainly he was unsure if she was willing to talk to him, since she looked rather uncomfortable), but he did send her a smile and small wag of his tail. A newcomer? She had... many scars, now that he looked. She was limping, too. Was she alright? Well, the answer was clear, but he was indeed curious. Who was she? 

Next came Sunspot, who he also gave a smile and a nod to. After her came his father, Sylvas, and he gave a wag of his tail as the wolf approach, nudging him gently on the shoulder and standing beside him. Honestly, Kieran had been fairly... absent today. Just thinking - it seemed he did that a lot. About mother, about Sorrel, and recently... about Hawthorn. Where his friend had gone, he did not know. It was like he simply vanished. Kieran missed him. He'd never been so close to someone his age, not even his sister had the same bond that he and Haw had had. The Hunter felt slightly... lost without him.

Breaking free of his thoughts, the boy watched Dawn sit beside him, and he returned the grin. Then he glanced up at Grayday as he began to speak, all the wolves in the pack gathered around and listening. So, they were leaving. What of the hill that Kieran had made into his little offering place? He... he could find another. After all, nobody was buried there. He had only used it as a place to give, and he could find another place like that. Though he was slightly reluctant to leave his spot (and this place, since it was the last place he had seen Hawthorn), he knew it was for the best. They needed a good spot for the winter, even if that was rather far away. Time flew. Kieran stepped forward. "I'm not too sure about places, but has anyone noticed where Hawthorn is? I haven't seen him around for so long..." They probably had about as much idea as he did. He had not wanted to go off topic, but he had wanted to ask for a while, and hadn't gotten the chance. "Sorry for going off topic, I just really wanted to know if anyone has seen him recently..."
