Rose shifted from paw to paw, amber eyes searching the area once more. She let out a low growl of frustration. She had been searching for Aleu, but the young she-wolf was much more bright and found it easy to lose the white she-wolf. Pink tongue moved silently across her nose. Her ears flicked forward as she listened to the waters fall against rocks. Her face was clearly either grumpy or distraught with the fact she had lost her favorite sister. She flicked her tail and sat down. Her amber eyes never left the water. Her thoughts swarmed to the most horrifying ideas. What if Aleu got captured by Erenyx and now she's stuck helpless and being tortured...? She flinched and shook her head, knocking the ideas out of her mind. She rolled her shoulders back and sat there, silently waiting for someone to bother her. She expected it since she was a decently high rank. Maybe training? Perhaps the Alphess would want her to guard her kin and let them explore the neutrals. She shrugged, dropping her shoulders to a more relaxed state. There was nothing though, not even a bird could be heard over the water crashing. She took a deep breath and stood up, deciding to do something dangerous. She jumped into the water, swimming against the strong current and pulling herself up onto a rather large rock. She shook her pelt clean of the water. She was still slightly drenched, but at least she could see everything about her. She sat upon her haunches and watched the water part around her rock, flowing quickly. She took a deep breath and lowered her body to a laying position. She stuck out a paw and let it touch the chilling waters. She swayed her shoulders and sighed. Surely, Aleu would find her when the time was right.


-ooc neh, it's so tiny and very late. :l I'm sorry, it'll be better next post-

Rose listened to the rushing water in silence. Her amber eyes searched only the rushing water. Her ears twitched forward as she heard a voice she knew all too well. Her eyes brightened and she bounced into the water, swimming to the shore and shaking her fur from being soaked. Her amber eyes danced with both joy and danger. Her mood dropped and she growled quietly, letting Aleu know how upset she was. "Aleu! How dare you leave me in the dark for so long! I have searched hard for you and have neglected pack duties trying to find you!" She barked out angrily, and then let her maw twitch into a tiny smile. "... I am..." She trailed off for a moment. "Very, very proud you have managed to escape from someone that is a Guardian, tracking was never my best skill, but, indeed, you have showed you have great skill." She praised the young she-wolf with gentle words, a soft voice, and a small smile. She shook her white head and moved forward until she was standing close enough to nuzzle the younger fae. Her ebony nose brushed against the matted fur of the younger. Soon her pink tongue flicked out and cleaned her face gently. She pulled away and simply gave Aleu a gentle nuzzle and then sat down upon her haunches. "Hungry, bear-heart?" She cocked her head to the side and smiled warmly. She would then venture off into the woods and catch scent of a plump hare. She chased it down and killed it, bringing it back quickly and dropping it in front of the other fae. "Eat, you look like you need it." She nodded firmly and sat back, looking at her in silence. It was clear she wanted to hear the whole story, but she wanted the young, soon to be fully ranked, apprentice to eat first and then tell her the tale. Her amber eyes shifted only slightly as she pondered in thought about what had happened. She knew Aleu and Juno had fought, perhaps about something silly, but she didn't quite know. She knew the young Apprentice was smart enough to fool the adults and disappear to the point of worry. Her tail flicked patiently as she waited for the young one to speak her mind.
