Searching for Stragglers

so so sooooo late :c

When the snow had started to fall a feeling in her gut had told the amber and honey hued woman that it was going to more than just the average winter storm. The Nova Scotia winter had already put the thatched roof of her home to test. There had been several times Anann and Toliy had to clear off the snow from her roof to keep it from collapsing under the strain. Fearing that her roof would never survive the coming storm Anann had decided to take it down. They covered their belongings in the rolls of leather that Anann had saved up for such an occasion. The bundles of foliage where then pulled down and stored in similar fashion. Leaving just the bear framing of the roof. The walls of her home would fill with snow, but this way everything was saved. Had the roof been left to collapse who knows what might have been lost. It would just take a bit of work to get it back to normal once the storm had passed.

She had heard the call of the king. Beckoning the pack to Chien Hotel that seemed to be the central hub for the pack. Despite the fact that it appeared few choose to actually call the large building home. At the time of the call the preparations for her home weren't quite finished. So, most of the pack had already arrived by the time that Anann and Anatoliy had made it to the hotel. Vigilante's mate and litter, as well as Princess and her recent litter were already settled in. It didn't take long to notice that Niro's face wasn't amongst those that had gathered. When neither he nor Amaranth showed up as the storm continued to rage and grow in intensity she began to worry.

Anann did her best to keep herself busy. As being cooped up in the hotel (especially with a bunch of pups) was hardly her idea of a good time. She made sure there was a constant supply of wood for the fire and that there was plenty of water to drink. Clearing out in front of the large doors of the hotel so that they were not all buried into the hotel and so stragglers could still make it in was also a near constant job. What with the still falling snow and the winds that drove it in deep drifts. There was no shortage of things to do.

A few had made their way to the hotel even after Anatoliy and herself, but after several hours without a knock at the large doors and still no sign of Niro and his mate it seemed a search would be imitate. So when Vigilante stood and announced that he was putting a search together there was no surprise. "I'll go with you, Vigil." Though there where no other absences that stood out in her mind.
