Ajei heard the howl as well. And despite that she should have worried after Ariadne first. She didn't. It was @Arrluk she thought of and how this may affect him.
Oh she searched for the woman and her child tirelessly. She even went into the dark of the forest. But she didn't find them. It was as if their scent just disappeared.
She herself wondered if Ariadne had left with a man. But she tried to push that thought away. But it was there nagging and she felt cruel for it.
It was with delicate, tired steps she went in search of the one wolf she held on the highest pedestal. He had been there for her. And there was never a time she wouldn't be there for him.

Arrluk?she called out softly. Green eyes searching out his den and usual haunts. She knew them like she knew her next breath. Always she knew where he was or should be.

Worry had settled deep in Arrluk by now. Days continued to pass without word. As with surely others, Arrluk had first wondered if Ariadne had once more naively went running off with another older man, swept away by his charm and knowledge of the world beyond what she knew.
But without her pups?
This was the one thing which puzzled Arrluk most of all. Ariadne had been excited for Moongrove. Yet she had been excited for Moonsong too... Ariadne was very happy to be with family again too but alas, so she had the first time... However Arrluk couldn't quite imagine his sister leaving behind her pups, especially so after loosing one. Then again, maybe she felt they were safer with her parents then under her care. Arrluk remained torn between.
Either way, he searched. Of course, he did not want to abandon Moonspear entirely. They had pups which needed looking after just the same. They were his family too. So he stayed. He fished. He guarded the borders. Though in the late nights he would wonder beyond the borders in search. Already tiredness was bringing him down.
Another night and he headed towards the borders, but was caught by Ajei's voice.

Hey ...He murmurs lowly, his own green eyes lifting to meet her face.

Ajei knew that Arrluk worked tirelessly to help out in the pack lands and then search at night. She tried, but she wasn't as dedicated as he was at least with the searching. Mostly because she simply wasn't sure where to search?
Ajei searched his face and moved closer to look up at him. Green eyes on his downcast gaze. The tiredness that clung to him like a second skin. The way he seemed to sag at the shoulders, that were usually upright and broad. As if to carry the burdens of all those he cared about. And he did more often than not. And it was not his job, but he made it so.
So Ajei had determined she would take care of him when she could.
She shifted uneasily.
Ears to her skull. Had she said too much? What if he got upset with her or thought she didn't care. Ahe did very much,but rest was important.

Arrluk.She hesitated and then leaned forward a hairs breadth away.
Would you like a hug? And
She shifted uneasily.
I think you should take a break. I Know that you want to find them and help Sialuk too. But you cannot help anyone or continue to search if you are tired. You may miss something or, or get hurt or sick yourself.
