Grouse Thicket you been after me a long while

Shock overwhelmed Hadraniel to the point where he couldn't even muster out a single word. This was real, this was happening and for the first time since he left home the sandy male didn't feel alone. "Paschar!" he cried out with joy again before rushing forward to greet his cousin who he had missed dearly. "Jeez you've almost outgrown me...what the hell man" he teased while pulling him in for a wolffish hug. Paschar had only been five months old when Hadraniel had decided to take off on his own so it was no surprise that he had grown, but to see him here and now, well it was quite a sight.

"How ya been!? Is anyone else with you?" he asked quickly and opened his mouth to shoot yet another question at his cousin but stopped before any words left his mouth. He didn't want to bombard him or anything, he was just really excited to see him for the first time in a while. Every bit of worry, doubt and fear ceased to exist in that moment and Hadraniel had forgotten all about the troubles he was running from. He could be concerned with them later, he wouldn't let his troubles ruin his time with Char.
