A familiar broken howl called to her, the voice of her dear friend announcing her approach. Kiara's ears shot up as she listened, her whole body alert and straining to see Vesper's hybrid form. It had been so long since they last met as Vesper had forbidden Kiara from approaching Inferni. Kiara understood why, but it wasn't her first time breaking the rule. It probably wouldn't be her last time either, although the skulls were a fairly powerful deterrent.
The minute Vesper came into sight, Kiara was standing with her tail wagging furiously. She jumped in the air, trying her best not to get too close to the boarders. But watching Vesper approach was painful. Kiara wanted to race forward, to jump to Vesper's side and shower her friend with licks. The arctic wolf ducked down into a play bow, impatience starting to get the better of her. With a wagging tail, Vesper finally made it across the boarder lines and greeted Kiara with a few friendly licks and nuzzles. The snowy female reciprocated with enthusiasm, licking the other and whining happily.
Vesper broke away and began to chide Kiara. White ears wilted downwards in apology, but the smile she sported was clearly not apologetic. I have a good reason to be here. Taking a deep breath, Kiara calmed herself and became more serious. One of the wolves of New Dawn has gone missing. Her name is Deuce and she disappeared after the bad storm. We are asking the neighboring packs if they might know about her. Have you heard anything, or seen anything? There was no blame in Kiara's voice, no suspicion. She didn't believe that Vesper would kidnap a wolf and by proxy, thought the same thing of Inferni.
