Sky almost took Skye's offer for rest inside the home - almost. But before she did, she saw the pang of pain and hurt in her friend's eyes when she saw the pup in Skye's hands. She then asked a question - about Shawchert. Skye felt her own pain and unhappiness lance through her; the leader had indeed left. She wasn't sure what had happened to him - he had left, she thought, on a journey of sorts. He had seem more and more upset and unhappy throughout the months, and she supposed that a journey may be good for him.. but what of Sky?
"Sky..." she said, unsure of how to word it. "I... I'm sorry. Shawchert has left." She looked at the secui-formed wolfdog, trying to convey through her eyes that she would be there to help her, if she needed a place to stay or a friend to talk to.
Everything was suddenly interrupted, however, by a high-pitch and wild laughter; Bangle. Following that was the unhappy wails of three pups, including the Erzulie in her arms. The little white pup had woken, now wriggling around in Skye's hands. "Oh, no," she groaned. "Hush, Erzulie, hush, it's okay, baby," she whispered to the white pup. Her head then turned sharply to the inside and she eyed Bangle.
"Bangle!" she said, exasperated. "They were sleeping!" She then remembered herself and turned back to Sky, a line of frustration, worry, and weariness furrowing her brow. When Shawchert had left, she had been left the title of the Capitana of Cercatori d'Arte; coupling that job with the recently born pups, Skye had little time left to rest or do anything anymore. True, the garden was flourishing and the stables were healthy and clean - all the things that Skye was doing seemed to be going well, at least for the moment, but Cercatori d'Arte's numbers were still diminishing, and Skye was worried for the pack.
