Into the middle of the region, the territory void! WOO
He'd called for Blackfoot a few times, but had gotten silence in reply. It split him in two: one side fear for her safety, the other hurt because maybe she left the pack on purpose. Without any word. What had he done to deserve that treatment? He had hunted and patrolled and had always been open for talking if something was wrong. He hoped that he could have fixed things. Why would she leave? You didn't do that to family -- hadn't he said he wanted the pack to be family? But what if she wasn't gone by choice? This had happened before, hadn't it? Maybe she was hurt. Why hadn't she said she was going out on a longer trip? At least he'd know where to start looking.
It left him, well, sad. No matter what way he sliced it, he didn't have a good answer. It put some weight to his steps, his ears tilted back slightly, the metaphorical cloud hanging over his head. He knew he could only search for so long before he'd have to return home and ensure the territory was still marked as strongly as it could be. But for now, he moved through the forests that sprawled across the valley between mountains, searching for a trail, a hint.. Something. This whole thing was just ripping a healed wound open again, even if half the older details were still blurry or gone. Why couldn't people just be happy? Or at the very least, why couldn't the world let him be happy?
