"No… Ana… let me try to explain more clearly. We didn’t know which direction the pups went, and I was out looking for Karpos, who had run away again, when Pitch Pine Trail disbanded. He ran away a lot, sometimes for a few hours and sometimes a week or two, he's just... not been himself. Silver went after Adsi and I went after Karp. When I went to go back to help find Adsi, I can’t get past the mountain. The snow is too deep." He told her trying to reason with her a bit more. "I tried Ana. I tried to keep everything together." He told her, begging for her forgiveness as he spoke. Ana and Lach had loved the pups, he knew at least Ana did, but he had a feeling Lach did too. He took a breathe and looked to Astra, who asked him what he had to offer.
"I am a guardian at heart, but I am no stranger to hunting or scouting; even teaching or advising I have done when times call for it." He offered up, his eyes panged with sadness. He should have brought Karpos with him, and he should have made sure he knew where Adsi was before he left. He loved children, he had met Karpos and he was the one who had urged him away from the ledge to the escarpment right after Ana and Lach left. He had went of {Karpos had} about how everyone hated him and he had first become temperamental. "I promise that what happened to Pitch Pine Trail will not happen here." He said more to himself than the others.
