Emberwood am i bleeding from the storm?

Alarian's ears perked at Delight's mention of knowing the wolves Aditya had spoken of-- Redhawk Caldera. Interesting. One ear cocked back at the other boy's story; he thought then that Bracken Sanctuary would never do something like that. He would never do that-- but perhaps that was obvious.
That's horrible. He murmured.
Then the conversation had shifted to Morningside, and Ali was not disappointed. Hearing of the pack's kindness, he felt justified in his immediate judgment of them-- they were to be trusted. The information about Tindome's neighbor pack was not unwelcome, either.
When Delight finally addressed what he had said about Lennon-- really, he had half-hoped he wouldn't-- Ali decided he was a strange creature. He liked him. The boy offered a smile; it was a little sad, a little sympathetic, and as genuine as any gesture from him. It was perhaps his downfall that he knew no other way.
I don't think I'll find him. He admitted, but he turned it quickly to something lighter. I'll have to start back tomorrow-- Lennon was our leader, but after he left, well... I kind of take care of things, now. Or, I try to.
