Judge one by his questions rather than his answers

ooc. Orin is looking for answers about Titania's disappearance. AW, since I'm not sure if Zalen is back from his ~~Vinatta~~ Sangilak, I totally meant to say Sangilak, visit. 400+

Five days. It had been five days since Orin’s old friend, Sky Rhiannon, sought her our in Cour des Miracles to tell her of the news. Five days since she found out her daughter had gone missing. Five days without answers. Five days of worry, fear, anxiety, and bargaining. She was alright. Titania was alright. She clung to what little hope she had with every fiber of her being because it was all she could do to keep from feeling completely helpless.

Little was known about her daughter’s inexplicable disappearance. Sky had come shortly after the discovery, so she had little news to report despite the basic fact that the Alphess had just up and vanished. She had lost her pups, that much was certain, but where she had gone, or why, or what happened was still a mystery. Orin could not possibly just sit around and wait for news of her child’s fate, she had to do something, or at least feel like she was doing something.

A few action plans had occurred to her. Okay, maybe now a “few” but two. The first, begin asking around to see if anyone had seen her. After all, Titania was a recognizable wolfess and many would know who the Alphess of New Dawn was. The second plan, go to New Dawn and start tracing clues from there. The first plan would be the easiest, for she could ask all around the Court and then go from there, spanning out. But what sense would that make? Titania was unlikely to come this far… wait, was she? Maybe she tried to make her way back to Orin? Still, if she wasn’t in the Courtby now that told her she wasn’t coming. Also, all that would accomplish was to spread the word that Titania was missing, that New Dawn did not know where one of the leaders was, and that the pack was possibly physically and emotionally vulnerable right now. So, she started with the best plan: go to New Dawn.

After telling Mars the news, she left their daughter in his care and set out for the few days’ journey to see the Dawnners. She traveled in Lupus form, the form that she was freest to run in, and covered much ground quickly. Finally (and coincidentally) the dawn light brought the pack lands into view. The scent of well marked territory was strong in the air, and soon the mother was upon the borders. She hesitated.

Was she still welcome? Could she cross right into New Dawn as Titania’s mother and not be seen as a threat? She was uncertain. The pack would be on high alert right now and not everyone would recognize her. Though it tried her patience, Orin huffed a frustrated sigh and then threw her voice to the winds, calling for anyone in New Dawn to answer her arrival immediately.

OOC: Since no one took it you can be stared at quietly by shawchert :3

His hands were feeling much better now that Sky had them cleaned and washed. He didn’t even need bandages, they just burned all night. They still burned that morning but they were only red and a little blotchy. He stayed out of anyones’ way that day. Instead he kept to the border and if he saw anyone around he would move away. He didn’t trust himself to be within anyone’s reach today. He had to learn the way of this pack, and he had to learn fast. He really did want to be a part of this pack and to do that he would have to learn their customs and culture.

That was until he heard the howl. His ears folded back as he thought about the woman who broke his heart. He would know her howl anywhere. He was about to turn away when he remembered Sky said Orin knew Titania was gone... perhaps she could help and find her daughter and make sure she got the care she needed. He of course was big on ruining things anyway. He limped toward her. It took a little bit but when he saw no one had come he came into view. He said nothing though but stared at her. He was sure she thought he was the last wolf she expected to see in this place of all places.

Some time had passed yet no one came, and the Tundra woman grew restless. Pacing back and forth at the borderlands, Orin’s eyes studied the terrain intently waiting for someone to show – and finally someone did. Something rustled off to the left and an ear swiveled just seconds before her head jerked to see who had come. “Finally, I-“ she started to say before she even laid eyes on who had come to greet her, but the words caught in her throat the moment she realized who it was.

“Shh… Shawchert?!” she gasped. Talk about a blast from the past, Orin had not seen Shawchert since his disappearance from d’Arte. Amber eyes bugged in their sockets and her jaw hung slack until she finally remembered why she was here. Her paws danced lightly over the ground as she trotted toward him, her tail twitching once in a half wag until the gravity of their situation came on like a tidal wave.

What was he doing here? He had been gone from her life for months, and all of a sudden turned up in New Dawn. Had he been here the whole time? Certainly not, or else she surely would have known. Titania would have told her. Oh, Titania! That must have been it. Just like her, news had traveled to the Alphess’s father and he was here to aid in the search for their lost daughter.

“Oh god, what happened to you?” She blurted rather unceremoniously as she drew herself up in front of him, staring in disbelieve at his torn, scarred visage. Orin knew not of the trials he had been through after his disappearance from Cercatori, no word of his enslavement or any other news had ever made it back to her, and seeing the once powerful man brought to this was a shock. Still, whatever it was, those scars on his face were healed now, so there would be time for stories later, and her anxious mind returned to the reason for her visit.

“Are you here about Titania, too? Where’s the pack?” she asked as she glanced around. “Do they know you’re here already? I’ve come for answers, we need to find Titania. I want to speak to Zalen, we can go together. Come, if no one in New Dawn is going to answer my summons then we will go to them.”

It didn’t occur to her that Shawchert was now a part of the pack, and that he was the one from New Dawn answering her call. The hot streak still a strong part of her spirit, Orin picked a random direction and began to trot off into the pack lands.

OOC: Dun dun duuuuun

He got the reaction he expected and didn’t expect all at the same time. Her expression when she first saw him, but her comment about him looking for Titania took him aback. He stayed quiet for a second, now urging himself to gain the courage to the woman who’d tore his insides to pieces. He grumbled a little before finally speaking in the low speech he had to make himself remember and use again. “You are not here for me, do not worry. She was the same old Orin that he remembered, worried over the puppy that had grown up, oh how she would be angry when she heard the news of Titania. He wondered what her life was like now, she did not smell of D’arte, and it seemed she was healthier too. It was good. She was better off without him. So he wondered how he could feel so bitter about it still.

He wondered how she could miss him walking at her from the middle of the pack lands as it seemed she did not believe he came here as a representative to answer her summons. He would be patient though. . He watched her back turn to him and trot deeper into the pack lands. I live here now, I came at your summons. He said then felt he had to reiterate so she knew why he was here for her. “But Sky told me about telling you of Titania, I do have news, it is not good...” He hesitated so she could turn to him. He didn’t want to yell to her about what happened and he knew already that she would blame him for not forcefully keeping her within the confines of New Dawn.

OOC.

There had been this feeling in the pit of his stomach ever since the other day. The meeting with X’yrin had been as pleasant as he had hoped it would be, and the ginger woman was on his mind. But so was the beautiful Adonia, her blue eyes twinkling like stars in his thoughts. It was a difficult thing to think about, but he almost wished he could lie with the both of them in silence forever; with them, the world seemed to much more simple, so much more worth living. New Dawn had once been green and alive and full of hopes and dreams, but now, just as summer turned to fall, it seemed like this feeling was dying. So many terrible things had happened and yet he could not let himself feel.

The ebony king gave out a great sigh and turned away from the sea; he was beginning to come here more often, the sound of the waves was soothing to him, it helped him think, or, drowned out his thoughts, if need be. But he had matters to attend to back at the den; Adonia was there, and he felt like he had to protect her. After his encounter with Shadowfang the other day, he understood what that protection was and could mean; love. But Zalen’s heart wasn’t ready to love again, in fact, he wasn’t sure if love was something he would ever taste again. Titania’s leaving had filled his heart with stone.

He had just made it into the line of the forest when the call rang out; he immediately knew who it was. The lilt in the voice was like Titania’s but… different, and he knew it was Orin’s. Could he face Titania’s mother, just as he had faced her broken father? He nearly didn’t want to answer the call, but he knew it was his duty, so he turned to meet the white lady.

It did not take him long to reach her, but he saw that she was not alone. Curses! Was the world out to get him? Both parents were standing there and he suddenly felt as he had when he had met both of them for the first time; they judged him, they put their daughters safety in his hands and what had he done? Let the girl go.

He slowed and stood up on his hind legs to greet Orin properly with a curt bow, Orin, pleasure to see you again. He said, forcing a smile. He then looked over to Shawchert and immediately knew they were talking about Titania; he sighed, I suppose you are here to learn about Titania?
