Cannon had told Lana he was stepping out for a bit with the assumption that she'd spread the news to anyone who asked, or noticed for that matter. With everything happening as of recently, it really wouldn't shock him to learn that they were all too busy stumbling around looking for his mom and Suka to even notice he'd taken a small leave. Though at the same time it could end up being the exact opposite as well. Hey, he could be in some pretty serious trouble when he comes home. But that's then and this is now, and that same chaos is the same reason why he needed to take a breather. Explore some territories outside of his own. It'd only be a couple more months until he was free to make this decision whenever he wanted to anyways, so perhaps they'd just have to deal this time around.

He was at the edge of the mountain, in fact he'd followed it all the way down the whole time to ensure he'd be able to make it back home. Yup, just turn around, find the grove, home safe from there. He could do it anytime. No danger here. Perhaps he'd even run into those who'd gone missing. Then they'd all thank him for leaving! Ha, wouldn't that be funny? He snickered at the thought, soon followed by a frown. Unfortunately things would never work out that way, even he knew that.  

Cannon continued his little adventure, but before long he was able to catch the scent of a foreign wolf seemingly just outside of his view. They were nearby, no question about that. But.. Where? Oh! Maybe they've seen Suka! Or his mom! "H-Hello?" He cautiously stepped forward, trying to detect their location with scent alone. Sure, they could be dangerous. But the pup was practically huge now! There's no way he wouldn't be able to take one measly wolf by himself if they gave him any trouble. "Excuse me, I have a question for you if that's okay.." He spoke again, hoping they'd just make it easy on him and reveal where they were hiding on their own.

The stranger seemingly slithered his way into view from out of nowhere, stating that he too had a question. Though what came from his muzzle next was, well, a little shocking to say the least. It definitely caught the Tainn off guard. "Tree's..? Uh, oh.. Uhm.. These tree's right here? Like in front of us now?" Well, he wasn't too good for that sort of information. In fact he wasn't really sure he'd ever even met anyone good with that sort of information. "Er.. Well sir, I'd say that they're.. big trees!" He smiled, proud of the answer given. Though wasn't it obvious by just looking at them? "Yep. Pretty great tree's too if you ask me." But why was that important?

The pup frowned as his company disagreed with his statement on the wonderful large tree's that surrounded them. 'Pfff. Whatever man, they seem pretty cool to me. Like you've even seen a better tree before. Stop fronting.' he inwardly spat, completely and utterly disappointed and perhaps even a little disgusted that the man didn't at least pretend a little, if not for the sake of his feelings, that he was of some help with that one.

"Oh! Oh yeah! I'm not sure how long you've been in the area, but have you happened upon a timber-y gold-y wolf by chance? With yellow eyes? Smaller than me and thinks he knows a lot in like a really..really annoying way? Or maybe an older female wolf with a similar description? She might of seemed a bit.. Out of it?"

Here's hoping.

"Oh, I see.." Cannon responded, trying with all his might to contain the dismay he felt with the stranger's answer. A girl that fit the description, but only a year old? There was no way he'd get someone as young as that confused with Naira, was there? Gah, even so the boy hadn't the slightest idea what a geyser was, and by the time he got back to tell anyone the female in question would likely be long gone. 'Don't get too upset, you knew this would happen. Plus, they'll both come back when they're ready.'

"Ah, no no. Not lost. Just.. Recently both my mom and brother have gone missing and everyone's kinda losing their minds back home trying to find them. I think they're probably fine but.. I feel bad.. Being the only one not helping look for 'em. So thought I'd ask just in case. Hey by the way, why'd ya need to know what kind of tree's these are?"
