Gannet added nothing to the conversation, but the change in his demeanor was palpable to Liffey. She glanced at him briefly as he tensed, her heart clenching at the sight. It was awful to see her friend so uncomfortable. Though she saw no hostility in the way Charon regarded him, she couldn't help the quickening of her own pulse as her heartbeat rose to match his.

Charon responded simply, stating what Liffey had already assumed was the case. She felt the guilt twist inside of her again that she had not acted yet on Korei's disappearance, but she remained silent as the alpha questioned her friend instead of pursuing the topic of their wayward packmate further. Inwardly she struggled as the offer to search for Korei crawled up into her throat and settled just behind her lips where it would stay for the moment.
