Neverwinter Forest Let's just freeze the frame

ooc: It's safe to assume Shrike would have been away while Trick returned, so he would've missed that memo completely and kept going on his mission. :)

IC: Allure's immediate reaction left Shrike whirling; she was happy. The words that came from her mouth made him want to dart toward her in happiness, or dip into a playbow, but instead he uttered a happy whine, ears trembling atop his head. She'd been found. Ditched, apparently, by the kidnapper, but he didn't care about that. She was in a pack, safe and sound, and some other wolf had already gone back to the Caldera...Could it be that Teagan had actually been fulfilling his promise? It didn't matter- Shrike wanted to see the little girl now and bring her back to the pack, but at that moment, their little bit of happy time was interrupted by the swift approach of an imposing looking figure with striking aqua eyes, and what Allure said next shocked him.

Dad?! So she'd come to this pack because her father was here. That made sense. But this was how he was going to meet her father? It was less than ideal- he wanted to know Allure much better before he met her parents...But that wasn't the main conflict at hand; the male interrupted their shortlived happiness to say that Lucy was missing, as well as a Rannoch. It was implied that Rannoch was another pup, as Allure's father didn't say that Rannoch took Lucy away. In all liklihood, they'd both left together, and thus Shrike immediately assumed Rannoch was a pup from the pack.

He mentioned Blackfeather Woods and Shrike's face burned. He'd say nothing of having been there within the past couple days, and looked to Allure with a stunned expression. Don't say anything. His look said. He didn't want to displease her father right off the bat, after all. "I can help." He said. "Shrike Redhawk, of the Caldera." He said quietly. As much as he wanted to run and get Elwood and Finley, he assumed that Teagan or whoever it was who'd already been to the Forest was likely already on their way to do so. "I'll go with Allure," He said, casting a quick glance to his counterpart to see if she would agree to that.
