Kukutux's affirmations steeled the dark Ostrega, it would seem, as he would not waver now--not when he had done his time slogging through every reservation he could find, and agonizing over what might never be should he simply allow himself to stagnate; what good would he have in that? Or anyone? Everything only served to remind him: he wasn't alone in this, not that he ever had been entirely, he sensed as he looked upon his sister's approval that showered over them, making his tail wag and shoulders soften amicably before he could return a few chin-licks back for her--in silent thanks, greater than he felt he could convey.

But Jarilo could not shake every anxiety so simply, keenly aware with every fiber of Kukutux, how close yet far he felt and the accompany odd worry over it he felt pooling in him. He chanced only a second of a look for Dirge, noted, though that was testament enough that he did not intrude or intervene yet for him to continue on for what may be even heavier than just his agreement to stand beside her. And--would you and Dirge be against another litter on the mountain this year? he asked, treading headfirst into territory unknown. His nephews and niece had helped ground him through troubling times, and more than he had properly anticipated he had liked raising and training them once they were old enough to venture out into his world of the mountainside. If nature.. deems, too, because.. he drew off with a glance beside him, and searched his sister's expression carefully afterward, his toes tense into the earth. They all had noses and well, he didn't have to spell it out to any of them what he could do about that if Hydra didn't have the need to put a stop to it all right here and now. However if his sister or her mate had qualms, he would do what he could.. he wanted to see to it that this could be alright..

Though, he knew how big of an issue it could escalate into after a bad turn. He had seen what heatscent in the wrong time and place could do to Moonspear, and he did not want this to be that, not now or later. Not remotely. It was why he was moved to act now, quick to spur his sides and make him--as he was situating himself to gain before this could even go wrong--hopefully.
