Stone Circle Nurturing Panic

they lost burr and if that wasn't bad enough he was clearly injured ...if not worse. dauntless is taunt the entire time he and pema were heading there. he did not want to be the bearer of bad news. he did not want to face the realization that this made him a shitty guardian, that he's failed a simple task. escort pema and burr to easthollow. he takes his place beside pema, ready for the judgement that will surely come, offering her a side look as they were approached by an abruptly hysterical mother, then valette who was calm but understandably demanding. a third approached then, howl, dauntless recognized but his gaze — green today — went back to the distraught mother and valette as pema launches into her explanation. he's tense, and cringes as pema talks of a pool of blood and that there was a trail that followed. it sounds bad. it makes them sound bad because instead of immediately following the trail to burr and trying to find him on his own they'd, at pema's bequest, ran here. his muscles ache with the threat of stiffness for as taunt and alert as he is at pema's side eyes flickering between the three easthollow wolves gathered though it lingers on burr's mother more-so than the others. if any of them was going to go for an attack it would be his mother.
