_____He had been about five seconds short of throwing a troublesome bottle of wine against a tree when a call raised up towards the sky and rushed through the thick wood of the forest. It was so sudden and unexpected that it jolted him enough to forget what he was doing momentarily; his tall ears perked sharply to listen while his hands froze with one on the bottleneck and the other still gripping the cork tightly. When it had started to die down, his desire to tear into the one dud bottle of liquor (Who in the hell put a wine bottle in with whiskey, anyway?) he had brought back days ago went with it.

Though it wasn't as slow as he would usually take it—no sense in making anyone think no one was at home—and before too long he was able to pick up the pair of dark figures through the forestry haze and foliage. What he didn't expect was that it was Khaden and Ember. “This is a surprise,” he called out to them as he closed the distance between them, letting a smile play easy on his features. “I didn't know you two knew each other. But what brings you out to this neck of the woods?”
