Two arrived. Aventus had expected Avicus, given what an attentive and present leader she was, but he wouldn't have begrudged Prophet for not bothering to make the trip. They weren't properly acquainted, even though Prophet was the leader of the warriors, and Aventus counted himself among those ranks. His own fault; he had been wrapped up in his sons and their myriad issues, and stood rather apart from the rest of the pack as a result.
Something for him to remedy. Someday.
Something for him to remedy. Someday.
Thank you for coming,he began, dipping his head lower in the presence of authority. This has become natural after nearly five months of living among Avicus and her wolves.
I wanted to talk about Arielle.
She was not well after giving birth. Despondent, distant.His lips pulled down at the corners. He had only realized that when she said she wanted to go.
She went to find her sister for a visit and was supposed to come back. Her sister was last seen in the vicinity of Akashingo,he tilted his head toward Avicus. She would remember the redsand pack, he thought. Arielle and her sister had met up there before the combined forces of Akashingo and Ursus had marched on the Saints. It was far from the Rise, but not so far as to account for this long an absence.
She should have been back by now.Perhaps from this alone, they could piece together what he had called them for, but Aventus paused now to give them time to respond, if they wished to. It was very possible Arielle's abrupt departure had burned a bridge.
