Jade Fern Grove as dark as the fallen star

For @Kaskara! I'm really kind of setting this vaguely on the timeline since I'm not sure what's going to happening with or during the search party thread. :X

Early evening brought cooler weather to the boughs and shadows of the Grove, where Pasha restlessly moved. He did not stray far from the den, certain that his father would be returning soon. If not him, perhaps one of the others. At any rate, Pasha would have prefer it be all of them, all at once even. The discontent that had made its appearance to him finally left him with a sense of unease. He wondered briefly, perhaps far more intelligently than his youth boasted, if it were the cause for how Swift had been feeling about things. His negatively radiated from him at times, though it had yet to once truly penetrate Pasha's optimism for long.

But the thought did not stay with him either, far too distracted by the low call of an owl somewhere in the eaves. He came to stop in the middle of a path he was crossing, his muzzle raising skyward as though he would truly spot the creature in the depths of shrinking light. For a moment, he wished to be one of those majestic birds — it would have made figuring out where everyone had gone much easier. If anything, he hoped when all of their family was reunited again, they would be whole. Anything bad that had transpired or anything that had upset them would suddenly be nil in light of them being together.
