Inevitability yielded little acceptance. His wife once called it parents' intuition. Regardless, as the sky grew darker without the typical sight of a tiny fox scrambling around the jungle, Gael knew the child must've found some form of trouble. Soon the black and red vulpine joined the 'hunt', a frown quickly marking his maw as he discovered the tracks continued beyond the desert.
A frustrated huff escaped his chest, heavy with a myriad of possibilities running through his mind. Only Aine's scent left the border, suggesting she simply wandered too far -- no one took her. The fact he found no sign of her return suggested she'd truly wandered far, grown lost, or both. Worse, it may be she'd gotten into trouble beyond the Pitt's borders.

In that second, he took notice of Draekon, the newcomer found by Bai Shi. "..." Damn Jervis' rules, I don't care. This is my daughter. "The tracks are Aine's," he explained gruffly. "I'm going to stand vigil until tomorrow. If she's not back, I'm lookin' for her.'
