bobcat had followed.
most assuredly, he had not been supposed to. but mother and father had both went and after some — but not much — deliberation, he'd snuck out from under whatever watchful eye had been tasked with keeping an eye on him.
but bobcat was growing like a weed: no longer the small bearn he'd once been though still very much young. still the dragonling playing dragon.
he finds father: at first tracking the scent 'til the rain began to wash it away with the scent of wet soil. it was the cough that yanks the bobcat in the direction, golden gaze finding father. a small chuff is given before he slips into the shelter.
cameo for now! that other one I'm going to repost once this arc is finished!
New Snow came to the shelter. Saw her boy, and her man. Her heart was happy to see them both; she greeted her son with happy swipes of her tongue to his face. He had found them far from home, and she was pleased with what he had inherited from a long line of hunters.
She nosed her mate, who she worried after with long sniffs and low whines. But she knew this was an illness that would not strike him down. So many it had passed through, and all had been fine with it.
The she-wolf worried not for herself. It was only these two that she thought of.
When they reemerged, New Snow whuffed to her mate:
food. She would hunt for her family while he instructed and looked after their boy. New Snow trusted him to the task.
they tracked.
father shows him what to look for, the proof that they were on the right path.
the banshee was very injured. this, bobcat can tell from the blood and the gait in which fading tracks fell.
a look was given to father, unspoken questions in his eyes.
would they even find her alive to claim the due justice they were owed?
questions swim without answers 'round bobcat's mind until he chases them away.
the message is clear: they are not his to ask.
avicus' orders are her orders. there is only faith and trust. in her. in redtail rise.
bobcat follows father's lead, pausing to draw in the scent of blood and let the trail unravel before him.
return cameo, if y'all want to wrap this bad boy up I can also throw one more post in!
New Snow returned with scrawny critters in her mouth for her son and for her man. Blood on her mouth revealed that she had eaten her own share. New Snow
whuffed at the duo as she saw them, picking up her pace and dropping them to the earth when close enough. She greeted them both with many kisses and happy rumbles, and looked around to see how their own lesson had fared.
