feeding the sickness

I hope you don't mind if Julooke joins!

Julooke had been ecstatic that the ritual had been completed and the pups were able to be seen. While she had spent some time with Tveir, Ein had so far escaped her. She was already heading in the direction of the den when the screams started. Since puppy voices weren't all that adept at enunciating, she couldn't make out the words very well. But the voice itself sounded like it was in trouble.

She took off at a dead run, her hackles already raising in defense. Another scream rang out and she put all of her muscle into her running. Yet another scream, and she let out a growl as she reached him, coming to a sudden halt to stand over him, shielding him from danger. Her hackles still raised, her head turned from side to side, expecting something, anything, to be there. But, it seemed the only ones where who here were Ein and herself. She turned her head down to look at him upside down. Are you okay?
