The moment that Eirlys had broken the treeline he hadn't wasted a single though on @Chusi. Why should he? Let her finally have a repercussion for her behavior - Ceallach had Eirlys, and that was his priority. Ceallach hadn't stopped running, keeping himself between Eirlys and any followers, until they'd made it back to safer grounds. He didn't go into the ravine entirely, instead, stopping by the mouth and focusing his attentions on the river. It would give them a chance to make sure they had a water source and maybe even some food if he could catch some fish while he let Eirlys rest some. He turned his attention to his sister, giving a soft sigh at the wounds on her muzzle and haunch. "@Eirlys," He said with a frown. "I'm so telling Mama you tried dying again." 

It was mostly in jest - really he wouldn't run tattling but then again, Hemlock wouldn't need to be told. The writing was on the wall, so to say, once the duo returned to their family's camp. "You'll have a new story for pienet sisarukset." And no doubt Droman would puff himself up and want to stalk off to battle the enemies while Reed would probably just scoff. He reached out gently, pressing his muzzle against his sister tenderly before he began to clean off her snout. "You scared me, Kultaseni." He admitted after a moment. Losing Eirlys would be the last thing keeping him together. Still, the headache that had started earlier made Ceallach wince just at the thought of Eirlys being gone; she hadn't even meant it but regardless the risk was there. 


She was the last tie that he had to their mother and father. Unaware that Arturo had been near the family camp, and then was along coastline now. He knew that they had Hemlock, Tapat, and Droman and Reed but it was different. She was the only one who had been there with him. She had lost their brother and sister, mother and father, she understood him like no one else did. Ceallach turned his gaze up to meet hers, breathing out slowly. He could calm down now that the risk was gone. She was here, with him, and safe.
