her sleeping pattern had become erratic, returning from her adventures at any time of the day had her sleeping at odd hours, and for irregular amounts of time. she didn't mind, far too caught up in her adventures was she. earlier, she had heard a howl; Sunny. she did not wish to face him, having become fed up with his poor attitude toward her exploring, even though the talk with Da had made things better. beside, she was far too caught up in her warm nook under the sun, lids heavy with sleep. 

but when Da howled once more, her gaze blinked open, and her form uncurled from its sleeping position. something was wrong with this howl, something wasn't right. giving a nervous shake of her pelt, and blinking away sleepfulness, she darted out of the den and toward the source of the howl, moving quickly to intercept Da wherever he might be. 

she found him quickly, finding first where he had met with Sunny, as the strong scents suggested, as did the previous howl she had ignored. but she scents, while moving together for a time, separated. not particularly caring where Sunny went, she followed instead that of Da. her tail twitched nervously at her flank, and when she spotted her father ahead, she rushed to meet him. 

"Da!" she cried, fear wrenching at her gut when she realised something was definitely wrong with her strong father. she slipped beside him, pelt brushing his, worried eyes trained on his face and muzzle reached out to plant a hesitant lick on his chin. "Da! What's wrong? What happened?"  came her fast-paced questions, gaze wide, voice shook in the slightest.
