☁ Pierce hadn't been around a ton lately. Why? He wasn't too sure. Things had just felt... weird to him, he supposed, after choosing to move once again, but he decided he was finally ready to get involved in things and start learning more about his "new clan". What else was he gonna do, anyway, turn into some sort of hermit and hide away in he and Clementine's little home painting pictures all day? No thanks. The former Goldenheart wouldn't have been drawn to Atbash's new living quarters had it not been for the sound of voices as he walked by, ears perking in the direction of the room as he slowed. He raised bright eyes to the entrance of the home, pausing for a moment before peering inside to see his three clanmates standing inside.
He knew nothing about the destruction of his former home, and it was uncertain whether or not he would have cared much if he did. It wasn't that he didn't care that so many lives had been disrupted, even ruined - of course he cared -, but just that he didn't care much for the place itself. Hell, he was beginning to find that his connection to groups and places had begun to fade, replaced with closer connections to individuals. A year ago, when he was vice-leader of a particular clan far, far away, he would never have believed anyone who told him he'd gone down this path. Pierce had been so devoted to that place, the first - and pretty much only - place he had been able to honestly call home, and no matter the person or their importance to him, with perhaps one exception, there was no one that could ever possibly deter him from protecting and taking care of that clan, the clan that, though practically filled with strangers, was still the one he considered to have taken him in and practically raised him. Would Ascendants ever even come close to being that place for Pierce? He sure hoped so- but for the time being, living safely with his daughter was going to have to be enough for him.
"Atbash?" echoed the serval, looking over his former leader with a small smile beginning to tug at his lips. He had never been close with the femme, not at all, but it was always nice to see a familiar face. "It's been a while; how are you doing?" His tone was warm, clearly pleased to come across the savannah cat once more. He was quite obviously oblivious to Atbash's current situation, however, for despite his usual gentleness, had he been aware of what had happened to Snowbound, he likely would have approached the situation with much more softness and caution than he had.
