"Yeah," he replied, then added, "Was? They're not here anymore?" Tambourine's face fell. He hadn't liked Warbone nearly as much as Saena but, especially after their encounter here with Banner, he'd had high hopes for their flowering comradeship. Distressed at the thought of never seeing the she-wolf again in particular, he demanded softly, "Are you sure they're not around here somewhere? Why would they just... leave? Oh, hey, Saena told me they travel a lot and always stay together, so maybe they just left for a little bit but they'll be back?" He couldn't help but sound hopeful as he eyed the stranger.

Abruptly, the youth remembered his manners. "Oh, I'm Tambourine, by the way. I live at Marauder's Keep, back that way." He lifted one broad forepaw from the snow and gestured to the mountains behind him, then fell quiet as he awaited a mutual introduction and perhaps some feedback on what he'd said.
