Questions became sparse, dismissed by the child’s apparent confusion. Alexey was somewhat thankful, appreciating the fact that it wasn’t too late to safely steer away from the taboo subject. Catalyst didn’t understand everything that was being said; the way she tilted her head made it obvious. However, the pup’s silence told the Caregiver it was time to move on. They had other things to talk about; like swimming, one of the many things they could do together. Perhaps they could invite other puppies; it would surely help alleviate the atmosphere. Dahlia de Mai’s last celebration had been somewhat ruined by Firefly’s dreary presence.

“Yes, of course! Let me know whenever you feel up to it,” she said with a nod of her head, her tail accompanying little Catalyst’s by flicking back and forth energetically. Palindrome’s well-being was most important though, swimming would have to wait. The Acer really didn’t mind exploring the lands with the alabaster girl. Catalyst was a bundle of joy; well-behaved and good company. Lexey didn’t know where the child's sibling was, but she knew he couldn’t have strayed too far from the pack lands. He was introverted; far from bold and adventurous. It seemed unlikely that he would just leave.

“Oh, we’ll find him. Don’t worry! He may be good at hiding but he stands no chance against us. Right?” she affirmed, a confident smile tugging at the corners of her lips. There was nothing to worry about. Cercelee and Slay surely would have alerted the pack if one of the pups had gone missing. Alexey followed the Rosea’s cousin for a little while, occasionally redirecting the child in the right direction. “Tell me Catalyst, do you know how to track yet?”
