[center]“Worrying won't do you any good.” The smooth voice had Ryanair glancing away from the trees he'd been watching, emerald eyes blinked when Esther sat at his side. The wolves were play-fighting, their snarls and huffs filling the silence. The blonde didn't feel like talking, since he'd awoken something had felt off and he couldn't figure out why. 

Esther hummed softly and settled her hands on the grey trousers she wore, her blonde hair was in a braid and Ryanair noted she also wore white blouse. He glanced down at what he wore and shrugged his shoulders, a pair of black trousers and a grey dress shirt. “I can't really help that. He's quiet and I don't know why, it's...frustrating.” He whispered softly and jumped when a hand fell on his cheek, Ryanair blinked and turned his head to face the other blonde. 

“Sometimes things can't be helped, come let's go for a walk around the grounds. The woods are part of the land so we should be fine.”The blonde's rose and moved down the stairs until they reach the snow-covered ground. They pause when several barks fill the air, the blonde's glanced up and found six pairs of eyes on them. Ynez shakes out her body and then jerks her chin in the direction of the trees, Ryanair snorted softly as Esther giggled at his side. 

It seemed like they'd have company. Both moved forward and felt the wolves move to circle them as they neared the trees.

Kieran hadn't moved from the chair, his eyes remained closed as his mind whirled. His bond with Ryanair pulsed with a wave of acceptance and admiration. His fledgling seemed to be moving away from the mansion though not too far away, the raven-haired male sighed and shifted to the first time. He hadn't slept since he'd returned to their room, the kids had gone with Isabela and he hadn't protested. Ryanair hadn't pry but Kieran could tell that his fledgling could feel his mood, he felt tired and raw on the inside. Ryanair had only pressed a kiss to his lips before exiting their room, he'd relaxed and made his way downstairs. 

Now he pulled on the thread he shared with Clara, he had to talk to his first fledgling. Maybe she'd tale him up on his offer, it was the least he deserved. Hopefully he'd be fine enough to feed afterwards, he didn't much like the idea of being in pain but maybe it would help. He rose and moved to the edge of the pool, his gaze focusing on the still water.[/center]
