Sleepy Fox Hollow it don't feel right to see you, friend

Sorry for the wait, guys, I'll leave this either to fade here or you can continue without Wylla. <3

An absent father and a busy mother. Wylla was reminded of her own childhood, although Lusca had always been attentive. There were only the three of them, after all: her, Ingram, and their mother. How might her life have differed if Lusca was an important figure of a large, bustling pack?

That was all it took for her heart to go out to him. It helped that he was respectful and sweet, unlike some of the other unrelated children who had come into Wylla's care over the years.

We don't need to worry about it right now, she assured Siku. Take some time to rest and familiarize yourself with the Hollow. We will figure out how to talk to your mother once you have had a little time. He was old enough that his pack aught not worry if he was gone a day or two.

Why don't you show him to the river? she suggested to Emmerich with a smile before she made to part their company. Perhaps Siku would appreciate the attentive company of an adult, but Wylla suspected her presence would only prove suffocating. Emmerich was much better company for the boy.
