Redtail Rise obbligato

setting this pretty soon after Chacal's visit <3 just want to establish what's known. Tags are mostly for reference - he's looking for Avicus. Open to @Requiem too, and anyone who wants to join

Ashlar had promised @Chacal that he would tell the pack to look out for her missing son and intended to follow through as soon as he was able to. The first wolf he sought out was @Avicus.

She had not been happy to learn of his possible fatherhood but Ashlar did not think this meant she would refuse to search. They had been friends for too long, and she knew what children meant now. He didn't think even she could stand to lose one in this way.

No matter what her answer was, he would tell @Augur and @Prophet later. They didn't need to put themselves through trouble to help him, but Ashlar thought they would want to know. Maybe while they hunted they could search.

Ashlar walked along the edge of the burned out region, the place Avicus had named after her mother. He scanned the trees occasionally for any signs of a large bird, but only saw smaller ones flitting between the branches. It was hard to believe any bird could carry a child this far - yet he'd seen eagles before. Their shadows had terrified him as a child and now he understood why all the more.
