Moonspear Caught in all, the stars are hiding

Maia had often crossed his mind since their first meeting. There was something fun about her light-hearted way of being. He wished he could be more like that, but maybe through Maia he could find a little bit of that. There was a tug that pulled him to the Firebirds pack. He still hadn't gotten around to seeing Dhole again. Revui and Yami were still gone, though he'd found a trace of Revui's scent in the hinterlands. But not near or in the copse.

As he walked towards the borders Charon decided to go and check the forest again where he'd find Revui's scent. Then he could also visit Maia after.

But as he made his way towards the borders he saw someone there that he recognised pretty much immediately, because his mind had been with her moments ago. Maia? he called, but as he approached he noticed she was crying. What happened? he demanded to know, voice more strict than he meant to as his thoughts dwindled to someone hurting his friend, while he approached to comfort her.
