Zalen noticed that Tharin perked immediately when he said he knew Kiara; the male was very worried about her, it was clear. In fact, Zalen suddenly wondered why he was so worried about her; was he hoping to take her as a mate? That made things much more complicated, for Zalen did not want to swoop down to Ichika and steal a member. But Kiara had a choice of her own, perhaps if Tharin went to her and offered her protection and food as he said he wanted to, she would make the decision to come to New Dawn all her own.
Zalen stood then and shook out his midnight fur, nose twitching as he scanned the meadow before them. All was peaceful, in the distance, a fox and her kits headed towards the stream that ran through the middle of Avalon. Zalen let out a nearly inaudible sigh, Ichika is not but an hours jaunt away, if you would like I will accompany you there and we may speak to Kiara. I’m sure she knows you well enough to recognize your call?
