Stavanger Bay We're all we need

Dante nodded at the revelation that she had moved, allowing Floki to answer the other wolf's request to play while he listened to Wildfire's brief but clear explanation. So she'd moved on from her parents' claim to find a spot of her own. That was a large step, yet he was glad she seemed happy with her new company. "I'm glad you found a suitable spot." He said, glancing at Floki. If she'd come asking, likely they would have been glad to have her as well, though he was sure her parents wouldn't have taken the news quite so well.

Her parents.... Peregrine. Thoughts clicked and an unexpected hitch caught him. That made Wildfire his... Niece? Somehow, until this moment, the idea that accepting Osprey's proposal would grant him more family was lost to him, but now with that knowledge came a bittersweet ache. His instinct was to keep it to himself, for he wasn't much for sharing non-connected information with non-pack, but he went the other way for once. This was a chance meeting, not an out-of-the-way message, and he'd thought the title of 'uncle' was one he'd lost the chance to wear.

"Yeah, we've moved out here. Lasher laid claim to the sequoia forest, Donnelaith. It's beautiful." A smile tugged at his lips. "Actually, I took a mate recently too. Your aunt, Osprey. I guess that makes us family." This he said almost tentatively, smile askance. If she didn't claim her somewhat estranged aunt, he'd easily let the matter drop, but... there was a note of hope in reclaiming something he'd lost, and he grabbed at it, knowing he would regret if he walked away without trying.
