Firefly Glen In Twilight

rrrround 3! Still welcoming late MSP howlers and now open to Redhawks!

As he hoped, Kukutux answered- but her message was grim. Fennec wasn't there, either. The best case scenario would have simply been that she'd gone to live on Moonspear for a few days in order to learn perhaps a new technique for making carrying pouches, or for identifying useful herbs, but he'd passed along their shared boundaries and had the feeling that Fennec had not gone off in that direction. His disappointed gaze swept over Osiris and Antares before he tilted his head back to thank Kukutux. He hoped that the word would spread on Moonspear as surely it would- she was not the only one who would have heard his plea, so he felt certain that if any of the Moonspearians caught sight of Fennec, they might let the Glen wolves know.

Of course, it might all be in vain. Maybe Fennec was making her way up Moonspear at that very moment. Maybe she'd heard the howls and thought that Bronco was simply being ridiculous and overprotective. Maybe she wasn't ready to forgive him yet for collapsing her den, and maybe she truly just did not give one shit about him. But then again...The alternative was worse. Because there was a possibility she was hurt or held against her will, and the possibility that she'd crossed paths with someone who meant her harm. And even if he sounded like he was raising the alarm too early, it would be worth it- if in the end, it turned out she needed to be found.

“The only other place I can think of would be the Caldera,” He said, mostly to himself more than to Osiris and Antares though they might have already assumed that it would be the next place to contact. It was further away, so he knew he would have to pour everything he had into sending the message. There was also the sticky technical aspect that one of the three leaders of the pack would never hear his howl- but there was the potential that maybe @Towhee was with @Phox, or that @Figment might hear and let her know.

To them he called out and uttered the same message- “Is Fennec at Caldera?” He asked, and it was all he could fit on one breath, with how loudly he forced himself to howl to breach the distance. Only important words needed to be howled in order to be communicated, especially when the message was going so far. “Missing from the Glen,” He advised, before he drew in a few breaths. “Not at Moonspear” He added, before he drew in a deep breath and called out once more. “Three days at least.”

Message sent, he hoped then that he would get a reply- and that maybe she would turn up at the Caldera after all, and that all this worry was for nothing.
