Gitano had gotten separated from her somehow, and he had no way of finding the woman now. His own tracking skills were abysmal and @Karina had been so frantic to find Bennet that he seriously doubted she had slowed to seek him out. The yearling knew that if they were meant to meet again then their guides would bring them back together but for now he vowed to search for the pup on his own.  His mind was often preoccupied with his task but he could not deny what was happening with himself.

Frequent fasting as a pup and adolescent had left him thin to be sure but his many months as a loner had left him practically skin and bones. He could not continue this way lest he face his certain death. There was only one thing he could do, he had to seek out a pack but on that front he was at a loss. He had never sought refuge within a pack other than his birthplace and even if he had the only pack he knew of had been Namid's upon the mountain.

Staring up towards the night sky that had cleared after yesterday's snow storm he wished for guidance. His spiritual quest was supposed to be a solo trip but surely that didn't count if it was life or death, did it? Sighing the man nodded, he would seek out the mountain pack in the morning and hope that they would accept his unusual gifts in trade of a place among them.

Tano had been staring so intently at the sky that he had missed the approach of another wolf. Startled at the sound of her voice the yearling jumped slightly before grinning sheepishly towards her. While she smelled of fading heat and a pack there was something about her, an aura almost that spoke of something more. A normal wolf may have backed off then, or looked around for the male that had given her this gift but Gitano was no normal wolf.

Instead his grin just grew even wider, almost to the point where his cheeks hurt and he exclaimed, "Oh I was just reading the stars for their advice, they're quite talkative this evening." It was then that he realized the pack smell that she carried was of Namid's mountain pack, the same place that he had resolved to seek out in the morning. Thank the guides, this was obviously a sign that he had made the right decision.

Still this all had very little to do with the reason that he had begun smiling and with a twinkle in his eye he declared, "Congratulations by the way, you must be excited!" Little did he know that excited was the farthest thing from the word that she would have used to describe her current situation.

Gitano smiled as the pale yearling sat beside him to look up to the stars as if she too could read what they said. Staring up towards the lights the man knew it took a lot of practice and training in order to read their predictions but it was nice to pretend even for a moment that she could relate to his studies. His grin grew when he looked back to her, "Well I can try and give you a prediction of your future if you would like, I just need your name. Mine's Gitano." After all, it was rude to ask for someone else to introduce themselves if you weren't willing to do the same.

Out the corner of his eye Tano gave her a questioning look about her hesitation and then her question. Then he chuckled, "Well about being with pups of course," Oh. Did she not know yet? The yearling looked awkwardly back up to the stars in hopes that he hadn't just ruined some big realization she was supposed to have with her mate or pack or whoever. He found "normal" relationships very strange after growing up in a pack with such fluid ties, sometimes the rules were hard for him to figure out.

Shaking his head with a small chuckle the teen peered at Eidolon closely, "The guides know about everyone, every creature and every force that rules our realm. Even those who live in the other realms, like the ghosts that you're named after." Shrugging gently his muddy golden eyes returned back to the inky sky above them, looking to see what he could find about his ghost friend. He would never give a prediction without permission, some wolves just preferred not to know after all, but he was curious.

Dear guides.

What was wrong with all the wolves in this place? This was the second time he had looked to the sky to see the future of a woman within these lands and felt his stomach drop away. Still, he couldn't tell her what he had seen unless she gave him permission. Gitano fought the words that threatened to climb up his throat like bile and spill into the air, he couldn't, he shouldn't.

He was thankful at least for the momentary distraction from what he had read in the stars. Looking hard at Eidolon, "Your aura is practically glowing Eidolon, maybe you should talk to Namid. I can go with you if you would like, I was planning on going to see her in the morning anyways." Please ask me what I saw, oh but please don't make me say it out loud.

Gitano felt a weird mix of emotions when Eidolon did nothing other than hum in acknowledgement of his gifts. It was not enough of a consent for him to tell her what he had seen and for that he felt both a gnawing at his stomach and sick relief. He wouldn't have to see the crushing defeat on her face as he saw on Karina's when he had made her prediction. Still, the guilt he felt would probably eat away at him until he gave in and spit the words out into the air, breaking all the rules he had ever been taught.

Feeling her nose touch into his cheek along with her apology Tano shook his head almost with violent recoil. "Oh Eidolon! Do not apologize, it may not have been in your plans but being with cub is a beautiful thing and never anything to apologize for!" His eyes softened though and he pressed his own muzzle into her neck in what he hoped was a comforting manner. He had never had to comfort a wolf who did not want to be a mother who was having children before, it was such an odd situation he didn't even know what to think of it.

Resolve swept through him, "We can tell her that he is mine and that I will take full responsibility for him. I have met Namid before, she is a forgiving woman. Any anger she feels will be directed towards me and not you, she wouldn't harm a pregnant wolf." But the real father of your child would.
