The wolf pup's brows raised in surprise, his baby blues glistening as well as he recognized the form ( and voice ) to be that of Fairy's. [glow=black,1,400]"Fairy..."[/glow] Soft breath drew from parted lips. It was his friend, his closest friend—she was the first to see him. Gaze softening into a mild glow, he relaxed his shoulders—as they had been tensed back—and he seated back onto his haunches to support the both of them. He moved a paw to hold her in an embrace as she raised questions as to where he had been and why he had left.
Lips pursed upon soft, youthful features. He knew that someone would ask that, and he fully-well knew the answer, but he found it so difficult to find the words to say to Fairylights. She sounded so worried, so distraught over his sudden disappearance. Why had he abandoned his friends without warning for weeks on end? It sounded so cruel, so selfish when one phrased it like that.
[glow=black,1,400]"I..."[/glow] He heaved a sigh, gaze flitting downward towards the ground. Swallowing, eventually, August started, [glow=black,1,400]"I went to go find my mom."[/glow] It was as simple as that. He hadn't seen her since he had joined Sunhaven months ago, and he had naturally grown concerned for her wellbeing. Had she been lost, looking for him? Had she been stranded somewhere? August could not just simply move on. [glow=black,1,400]"I didn't think I would be gone for this long. Honest."[/glow] August had ended up searching far and wide; far more than he had initially expected. He even had a run-in with a bear and a brief trip to the Ascendants that had been unplanned.
August shifted back, away from the other's embrace, and he met her eyes with his own. [glow=black,1,400]"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you before."[/glow] August didn't know what he had been thinking. It wasn't right to leave your friends without warning.
