-you looked lonelyyyy.. have some annoying not so closely related family members-

DaVinci hadn't seen his onetime hybrid alpha since that day of chaos. He'd taken Skylar off to explore the Dampwoods beyond the limestone quarry. The girl was quick on her feet and had actually managed to track down a rabbit, between DaVinci and herself the two had brought the small creature down. DaVinci had done most of the work but he'd been the one to let her take the kill, the proud look still shimmering in her eyes as she stalked along beside her father with her head held high, the rabbit hanging limply from her maw. DaVinci had caught the scent of Laruku as they moved through the territory, his ears upright and taunt as he tried to catch the sounds all around them as they moved along their way.

He had promised to show Skylar the border of Inferni from a distance but if Laruku was roaming the grounds that gave him concern to turn about with his daughter and head home. He didn't know if the hybrid was finally well or if he'd escaped from the shack but there wasn't much he could do either way if the male actually was lose in the woods. The words of the golden cinnamon male stuck in his mind as they continued to move, he hoped that they would clear out of the area before they ran into the scarred male once more.

Suddenly it seemed that Skylar heard something that he hadn't, so caught up in his thoughts and before he could do anything the girl had bound off towards the direction Laruku's scent had been drifting from. Hissing at Skylar to stop, though he knew she was already gone he did the only thing he could do and bolted after the girl. The normally shy child suddenly gave a yelp out loud as DaVinci groaned and quickened his pace. It didn't take him long to find the location of the girl, having tripped herself up in a briar bush and cried out when she'd dropped her kill. Sitting back on his haunched before the girl DaVinci chuckled as he asked. "Have we learned anything today, Skylar?"

She glanced at her father with the air of a princess as she untangled herself from the thorny vines and with the flip of her bushy tail she trotted off to pick up the rabbit once more before pausing and staring straight ahead. DaVinci walked towards her, raising his head up to see what it was she'd spotted. Through the trees he caught the sight of the male he'd been trying to avoid, Laruku at work gathering something or another. Groaning to himself the silvery blue hybrid wished that his children weren't so good at finding what he was trying to avoid.
