No response, surprise, surprise. The panic begins to deepen and his mind starts spinning through the possibilities. Maybe she finally met an opponent she couldn’t beat, maybe she tried to take on a predator somewhere in the wilderness, maybe she got kidnapped, maybe …
Lauchlan snorts, shaking his head. He’s getting too bogged down in the questions, in the ‘what ifs.’ If Raeg’n actually is in trouble, he’ll be no good to her if her just sits here panicking.
But what next? What’s the next step in a situation like this? How exactly does one track down a missing person, when there’s no trail to speak of, no place to begin?
His mind is starting to head back into panic mode when a male voice breaks through the closing walls. “Did you say Raeg’n?” Lauchlan’s head swings around to see an impressive looking buckskin stallion thundering down on him, and he can’t help but take a cautious step back. Unlike Raeg’n he’s made a point of avoiding all the other members of Tephra, and he has no idea how this stallion might react to a perceived ‘intruder’ (though if the stallion bothers to give him a good sniff he should be able to tell how much time Lauchlan has spent here).
His caution turns to curiosity however, as the stallion reveals that, he too, has been looking for Raeg’n. He’s not alone in noticing that she’s been missing! “I haven’t been able to find her anywhere! And I’ve certainly been looking …” How many times has he scanned Tephra now?!
Finally, his curiosity deepens to understanding as the stallion reveals his name. “Magnus! Oh! I know you! Uh … I mean Raeg’n’s talked about you a lot. She told me you’ve been training her.” He scuffs his hooves awkwardly against the dirt. While Raeg’n has talked about the Tephra warrior a ton, he rather doubts she’s said much to him about Lauchlan in return. Why would she, after all? “I’m Lauchlan. I’m her … I’m her friend.”
