Blackfeather Woods Tried so hard

The figure was confirmed to be a wolf, and a female, at that. She was quick to respond, delving into the tale of her previous alignment with the pack and the events that transpired previously; that which was spoken about her alone did not stand out to him nearly as much as the mention of Maegi, however. The Inuk’s ears perked and his posture straightened, a frown appearing and deepening. “Which direction did Maegi go in?” asked the male, taking a step towards the wolf; he recognised the name and did not view her as a threat, knowing well enough that he could defend himself with ease if need be.

“If you planned to join us again, why did you not follow Maegi?” he asked. “Why did you not ensure her safe return home?” He had assumed the child to have gone out adventuring, something that he was familiar with, having done so rather often during the days of his own youth. That something had happened to her during such journeys, however… he was most displeased, deciding almost immediately that Nikan, whoever that may be, was to be killed on sight for tampering with the life of his apprentice.
