His frightened eyes searched the dark yearling's face for answers. She seemed to take a moment to mull it over, and Cernan swallowed once. At last though, the reply came, and he did feel a little better. She appeared to be rather sure of her assessment, and so the lake Prince eased back down a bit more. The chubby pup glanced around as the new pack member went on, trying to reassure himself that what she said was probably true. He'd never heard or seen of the monster his whole life, and maybe it was because the creature disliked the area he lived in. Oh he really wanted that to be the case.
Instead of continuing to natter on about giant heat monsters, Cernan looked down, still processing this information against his instinctive fear. The boy was still lost in his own thoughts when Moonshadow spoke again; bringing his yellow gaze up to attention. Well, her question was easy to answer. "Two, Neha and Aleister," he answered softly, for a moment remembering that he probably ought to go and catch up with @Neha soon. The thought became words. "I actually gotta go find Neha now," the Prince added; getting slowly to his feet with a bow of his fuzzy head. Hopefully she wouldn't think him rude, but right now of all times he really really wanted to make sure the girl was safe – and maybe to tell her about the monster too.
He opened his eyes and glanced back up to catch the older wolf's reaction, just in case she was unhappy with the pup's sudden departure.
