Tharin hadn't been far from where Kiara had been sleeping. With the female now in the pack the burden of protecting them had loosened. He wasn't being pulled away from her side by pack responsibilities either, letting him rest deeper and more at peace than before. His world was complete, everything he could have wanted right there. His pack was around him, there was no need to worry, and the alphess was in heat. More pups would be coming. His ears twitched a little in his sleep as Kiara left, but the large wolf didn't stir, still deep in his rest. He had nothing in particular that he needed to go after.
It was a short time later that he actually woke up. Yawning he stretched out, glancing over to where Kiara and Lucia slept. The tiny pup was curled in there alone, still asleep, but her mother was missing. Frowning he lifted his head, looking around for where she had gotten to. Her scent was still fairly close by, the sleepy wolf shaking his body. Lumbering up he followed after her, pausing at the river to take a cool drink. Refreshed he made the rest of his way over. His tail wagged as Kiara came into view, looking over at the pack brother. Hello Jiva. He didn't know him well, but had learned his name in passing among the members. Affectionately he stopped by Kiara, nuzzling at her neck.
