Larksong Grotto News incoming.

I don't mind at all :P

Having come back from the coast and leaving behind a fruitless attempt to find his co-alpha, Reek returned to the grotto with low spirits and broken pride. He found himself settled deep in the coldest chamber of his claimed cave, retreating to the comfort of the subterranean gloomy atmosphere, all the while, the warm April sun shone bright on the outside. The rain had finally abated, however, a storm still waged inside of Reek's stomach— so much that it nearly made him sick.

He would return to his search in due time. For now, however, he waited for Tavi to return on her own volition -- not that he figured she even would.

Resting in silence with his head placed upon his outstretched forepaws, Reek's quiet moment of reflection was broken with the sound of a familiar howl. Recognizing it as belonging to Desna, Reek rose from the spot immediately and began to make his way in her direction. A nervous tension gripped his chest. Of course, whatever news she brought would pertain to Saena and the pups she carried— Reek's pups. He expected his ex-mate to howl for him herself (as she had said when she stripped Reek of his rank), but he also figured in the tiring circumstances of birth, she had sent a runner instead.

As Reek switly made his way to the howls source, a single thought crossed his mind: his pups had been born. Of couse, this was only an assumption, but when Reek approached the youth and his newest subordinate, he couldn't help but blather, "Des! Are they— have they been born?" The thought of Tavi being missing among the wilds slipped his mind under the weight of his assumption. "Are they healthy?"
