Broken Antler Fen give in to the lonely

Unnoticed was the observer from afar. Instead, the exuberance of Maia was what drew his focus and the swarthy wolf regarded her with warmth, champagne eyes sweeping over her smiling features. Given Ibis’ wavering reaction to him, he hadn’t been sure how well his presence would be taken by others.

He hadn’t gotten to know Wraen, Arcturus or Maia well before he had left to look for his daughter, but it was still good to see at least one of the trio was here. Hey Maia, he greeted, his muzzle giving an idle nod in recognition to the girl, trying to push past the bitter realization that his place likely was no longer among them now with Ibis’ rejection. It’s great to see you. Just got back the other night. He paused, studying her. How are you? How are the others? Right then he would give anything to not talk about him or Ibis.
