Redtail Rise burn like a fire inside

All welcome for any Redtail member though @Gunnar is certainly welcome Danni, but no obligation. I know you're busy!! :-)

A familiar scent had caught the ebony tyrant's attention and interest on his trip south, towards Stavanger Bay, but he had not wished to deviate from his course. Though Mercury did not have much of an idea of where he was going, or where he would settle — if he would settle at all — he needed to see Gunnar. There were many questions that refused to cease swirling around Mercury's mind, twining unfairly with his own unfair assumptions and worse yet feelings. Letting his emotions run rampant was never a smart thing, for it had caused much discord between him and his mother when she'd only been trying to tell him a truth though all he could hear was that he was a bastard son on top of the literal black sheep. Why Gunnar was not with the Bay, Mercury did not know but he had every intention of finding out. Perhaps Gunnar would not want to see him, but his quarrel was not with his brother. Trepidation gripped the smoky-black DiSarinno, causing the slowing of his steps, previously made with purpose, diminishing the distance between himself and the borders of a pack where Gunnar's scent was the strongest. He was still ways away from the scent markers wondering why he felt doubt now. What did Gunnar have to be bitter with him about? Gunnar had always been the favorite, or at least this was how Mercury chose to see it. 

It was understandable how Ragnar could have disliked him, a tribute to his blood heritage, but Gunnar had been blessed to look very much like Thistle, even Gyda resembled Ragnar in coloration despite that he was not her blood father, either. A rough noise left Mercury's lips, a sharp scoff before he took in a deep breath and left it out. Don't let your emotions get in the way. After all, he had no idea how Gunnar would take the news of his return to the Teekon Wilds and the only way he would know, the only way he deserved to know was from the wayward brother himself. 

Yet, as Mercury drew nearer, lowering his posture to a neutral, non-threatening pose, with a more than adequate distance between the urination markers and his physical body it was not Gunnar he called for. Instead, he sent out a general howl simply letting his presence be known. If Gunnar arrived, then great, and if he did not then Mercury would understand.
