Their father might trust Lynx to explore on his own without getting into trouble, but Leo did not. As soon as the mischievous Vuesain left the territory, his older brother was hot on his heels. He hung back though, not wanting to reveal his presence too soon – part of him probably excited at the opportunity to catch his little brother in doing something he wasn’t supposed to. However the plan backfired as he lost sight of the pale wolf for a moment, rounding a pile of rocks to find no sign of his victim.

Leo clicked his tongue in frustration, looking around frantically to spot where his brother could possibly have run off too. Finally his gaze fell on the tracks in the snow, leading towards the nearby rocks. Nose to the ground, the responsible brother followed the trail eagerly, only to come up short as it seemed to go into the rock pile. Head jolting back up, He looked around again, two-colored eyes narrowing as he spotted the crevasse, wondering just what might lie within. Finally he gave in, hissing a whispered: “Ly-ynx…?” Into the darkness. He’d rather prefer that the other pup come out on his own, instead of going in to find him.
