Hawthorne had kept his eyes and ears open as he had jogged from the border where they had claimed the pack to where he was now, the edge of the clearing. No luck it seemed. At least, not yet. He hoped that someone in the pack would be able to find the missing members. Maybe they had gone back to the den and where safe already? Would the wolves still at the den alert them if this was the case or would they think naught of it?

He frowned and shook his head. What happens will happen. All he had to concentrate on was searching the clearing with Electro. As far as he was aware the missing parties were the two pups and the alpha. The alpha could take care of himself and would find his way back. It was the pups he was worried about.

The black wolf stopped walking and looked back, waiting for Electro so that they could organise themselves better. Searching was a big issue, after all.

Electro was feeling tired as he cried "could you pant wait for pant me?" He never was good running at a constant pace, he always rushed then he had to slow down next thing he knew he was too slow and then he would have to race forward again and then it would be an endless cycle until he was tired or they got there. Soon Electrobolt had reached Hawthorne and he said "so now what, do we just search or wait or something?" Electro was hoping they could wait, mostly because he was starting to cave towards his careful side. Oh well, he thought, just roll with it.

Hawthorne sat down, considering their options. They hadn't come across anyone on their way - yet. They hadn't really searched for that long. The only option was to continue to search, at least until they found something or night fell, he supposed.

He took a good look at his companion - he seemed a little tired, perhaps, but fine. Hawthorne smiled in what he hoped was a reassuring way. "I think we should split off and search slowly and carefully around the clearing. Call me if you find any tracks or clues, I suppose." He looked away briefly; up at the sky. "We probably have a few hours before we should regroup."

He got to his feet gracefully and looked back at Electro. "I'll go south of the clearing, you go north?" His head was tilted to the side ever so slightly.

Electrobolt sat down after a bit. He looked around the clearing. The clearing was canopied by all the green trees. This place sure is beautiful Electro thought. "Yeah, good idea," Electro replied to Hawthorne's suggestion. We should hang here every now and then. "Probably," Electro said as he looked up at the sky through the trees. Electro looked near the edge of the trees, Nothing there, Electrobolt thought, then he looked a different direction, nothing there either. "North sound fine," Electro concluded as he rose. Then he looked South then North and started walking North. Electro couldn't see anything unusual, yet.

He sent one last smile Electro's way before adopting his usual expression; which was to say, pretty expressionless. Hawthorne watched the other wolf go before turning towards the opposite side of the clearing, eyes scanning the area carefully. He walked forwards at a rather sedate pace, not rushing in the slightest.

Like he had said to the other; they had a couple of hours, most likely, and they'd need to search with care. That meant taking the time to actually look - not skim over the landscape.

Hawthorne hoped that his plan was a good one. He hoped that the missing members were found. He hoped that nobody else went missing.
