It had been nearly 2 months since the incident. Since their home in the Dawnlark Plains caught on fire and forced their pack members from their dens. Even though they hadn't been there too long compared to the plateau, it was still their home and moving was not something she wanted to get used to. It was also the only home that her children had ever known.
But the thing that had been weighing on her mind the most was the fact that it had been 2 months since she last saw Shale. She wasn't dumb, and knew that it was very possible that he had been taken by the flames in his attempt to help others, but not knowing for sure dwelled on her. She didn't want to give up hope that he was still alive out there somewhere. Injured and unable to return home at the time. But she also didn't want to spend the rest of her life waiting for him if he was never going to return.
Her worry had consumed her mind. Distracting her from almost everything else around her. There were changes in the pack that she didn't understand or hadn't yet learned merely due to her lack of inquiry. But something clicked in her mind that day and her first priority was to speak to her children.
They were not well versed in the subject of death and loss. Pema understood them but still didn't know what to think about Shale. She had no idea what was going through her children's minds. Where they thought their father might be, and what they thought about his current condition.
She called out to her children that day, @Timberlake, @Radcliffe, @Meadow, @Padma to have a serious talk with them.
