Blacktail Deer Plateau Some infinitely gentle, infinitely suffering thing

 The news Grayday delivers is... a disappointment that falls heavy in the titan's chest. Here is a man who has long lived by placing no judgement on the actions of others - who has merely let the chips fall where they lay. And yet, this one time, he is unhappy with the outcome.

 A few weeks, the Alpha elaborates. "That was when I saw her last as well," he murmurs. Had she not made it back after their rendezvous? It was a short trip - but she was injured. As he fumbles through these details his expression is unreadable. Absently, he itches. "She said she did not wish to be a bother," Étoille says, finally. He doubts she would have perished in the short distance back to Morningside - not without her body being discovered. No, it is more likely she took it upon herself to slip away. A .. regrettable choice, perhaps.

Feeling somewhat awkward now (and a little sad, truth be told), the Rauna shifts his weight from foot to foot. "Did you recover your wife?" he asks for the sake of conversation, remembering their last encounter. It seems many wolves go missing in the Teekons.
