Blackfeather Woods Remember me?

Xan had started to spend much of his time down within the tunnels, wishing to learn what secrets they held and become fluent in the art of navigating them. It was tricky, sometimes, but he made due with what he had. It was fun, too, learning the various passageways. Every now and again, however, he needed to leave them. To touch base with the above ground world once more and use his eyes in the brightness. He'd departed from the tunnels recently, leaving through his sleeping quarters and beginning a search for Kove. He had a few questions to ask, and was certain the elder Inuit would be able to answer them. His first stop was the man's den, which was empty. Next stop was the borders, where he'd caught a fresh scent. The boy followed it, leading him out of the territory and a fair distance away. He wondered what had lured the other out, but once he had found him, he'd realized why he'd left.

The young albino was, perhaps, a bit quicker to recognize his sister than his father had been, if only because he'd met with Nanook awhile back. He was aware of their changes in appearance, their growth, but it didn't make actually seeing her any less shocking. Desna had always been the largest of the children, never lacking in the weight department. The girl presently across from his dad just didn't look the same, but even so, he knew who it was. He approached slowly, quietly, unable to find many words to say. Was she actually there? "Did Nanook send you?" It seemed like the most logical reason for why she had come.
