Firefly Glen not giving in

wc:409

He would have rather spent his time combing the area between the Caldera and the Glen for Fennec's scent. And he'd been doing just that- but he still needed to return home to do his duties along the borders, and to hunt for the pack. The days passed him by one after the other, and he could feel the stone of doubt and worry as it grew as cold and heavy as lead drawn from the heart of the mountain, sinking its way into his chest. He'd seen no sign of Fennec yet, and it was beginning to pain him greatly. He attempted to continue contributing to the pack- and had done a bit of prey scouting with Toad Amelia, as she was always a joy to be around, and while he had other places he would have rather been, he was summoned by Osiris' voice, calling the pack toward the lake so that they could hunt down the turkeys that had been spotted.

He arrived shortly after Meerkat, having found her trail leading directly toward the lake. And his sombre gaze fell over the small gathering, noting the three brothers who had collected together, and the small assembly of others who had come to the meeting area before him. Among them were Toad, Charles, Lunaria and Meerkat, so he chose to go and sit by his sister's side.

What halted him though, for a moment, was seeing the way her gaze glimmered as she brazenly beamed at Atlas, and sent him a wink. This did not go unnoticed by her brother who had more or less forgotten about the infatuation she'd once confessed to- and he was impressed very little by the fact that she was now openly regarding him with the very hairiest of eyeballs. Given how dismayed he was with his own current relationship (or lack thereof) he was not keen on seeing his sister fall into her own first heartbreak. So he cast a glance to Atlas- wondering how he might react, and regarding him with somewhat of a cold warning as he moved to Meerkat's side. She might be of age to begin courting- but that didn't mean that she should be. She was still his little sister.

So he moved to her side and purposefully sat so that he could block her view of Atlas even just a little bit, reaching out to affectionately nuzzle her muzzle while also potentially redirecting her gaze.
