Eventually she found a place behind Leo's familiar flank, mumbling a quiet hello. Chan's question was met with a nod, though she really did not like that word he used. She didn't want to say goodbye to anybody, but she had promised papa she'd be home again soon.

As the others filtered in around them, Nash surveyed the group. So many pups, and his own pack members would be leaving among them. One wouldn't be coming back at the end of the two weeks. He forced his mind to return to the matter at hand. He murmured a greeting to Archer with a smile.
His mother wasn't long in arriving and Nash followed his brother's lead in giving her a brief embrace before nudging his godfather affectionately. He was glad Kajika was here to help Moon cope with her eldest son's departure. He hoped Chan would come back for a visit before long. The less time he was away, the better, especially with Nash and Aquene's goal to become parents this year. He wanted his children to be able to know their uncle as much as they could with his wander's lifestyle.
Archer Valle
Archer's greeting was returned by the pair of men, who then turned their attention to the others slowly gathering. The Valle boy observed the crowd, surprised by just how many Cove wolves were gathering to see them off. He'd had no idea they were that important; how many were going to be walking down the mountain with them? It seemed an awful long journey for such a large portion of the pack to make.
When the older woman appeared, who looked nearly identical to the dark man beside Chan, a new mood settled over them and Archer looked between her and Chan. He assumed by their interactions she was his mother, but why would she be sad? He would be back in a few days. He was only leading their neighbors back home - and taking the pups of the Cove with him, he supposed, but they would be back too.
Wasn't this whole exchange supposed to be exciting?
Archer is very haggard and thin; it is obvious he is not doing well.
