Ouroboros Spine you were the only one

Leave it to me to get my directions screwed up with a fake map... SB is actually to their west, now that I review this. Oops. Oh well. Nobody said Mordecai had to be good with directions, but I regularly play navigator in the car. >__>

Sidewinder did not seem all that surprised with the information that Mordecai gave, and it soon became clear why. He had been to the coast in search of his brother, and had been more or less told the same that Mordecai had gathered. Well, maybe not gathered so much as accused of harboring said individual. While unaware that they actually had at one point, Mordecai had and still was not sure of what to make of such prediciment. More importantly, if not for the fact that Sidewinder had probably been told about it, he would not have been inclined to share all of the details about it. Primarily as to who had been attacked.

But in light of that, he felt the inclination now. “The wolf he attacked is my brother's mate, so you could say that they aren't the only ones who have wanted to look for him.” Though the words held no particular emotion behind them, he could not avoid the coldness he sense in his own tone. Mordecai had not quite met Julooke, but family was family. He too, kept his eyes to the trail ahead of them and let silence fall between them for a moment. “Though to be honest, I'm not even sure your brother lived here at all. If he had, I'm certain he would have been found out and run out. If not by those who live here, then by me.” He sighed, giving his furry shoulders a shrug between steps.
