Dragoncrest Cliffs take it in your heart now

The silence remained.. and in fact, his arrival stood tall as the most eventful matter here. Nose quivering, he began to suspect that no one was home at the moment to come greet him, but the disappointment in the notion was thankfully short-lived; after all, they would probably not be far away, and it was only a matter of time before they were back. He did prefer to wait here for their inevitable return, rather than going after them.

In pulling his perceptions back from looking for little creatures, he noticed Wildfire from her own peaceful perch. He perked, curious, and realized her pups were probably resting quietly too..

If this was how it was, he stepped closer to her delicately with a small chuff: hey? How even were things.. with her, and their whole little family? Often he was pretty invested in his own, and careful to keep from being too curious about her whelps too while everything felt as fresh and new. Nevertheless, she probably didn't find the silence eerie, and instead, a welcome reprieve. But maybe she'd seen Portia and the pups head off, and however long ago that'd been; not that he was feeling overly impatient for them to come entertain him, and potentially even awaken Wildfire's brood too--now that he thought about it like that.
