Lost Creek Hollow ishi comes home

While it's vaguely against what he'd much rather be doing (what with the urge for a nap beginning to catch up to him), he easily picks up on Harlyn's tone -- it left no room for questions, fuss, or otherwise, so he has to listen and consequentially, obey. The dark puppy picks along down the path she leads with his siblings constantly close.

The howl from earlier was lost on him since he'd been busy with play, so he doesn't quite understand what's happening here or why they're all going there with such strict instructions to behave. He's doing what he can to just acknowledge it as a nice walk with his family for now, anyway. It's only when a gathering comes into view that he begins to feel rightfully wary, and this weighs down his steps even if he sees the familiar face of his father among them.

Silas eyes the stranger the longest with a frowning look, but sticks painfully close to his mother in the meantime to see more.
