Eryan felt Thomas's arms about her and for a moment she leaned into his comforting warmth, wanting it, needing it but his scent was wrong, as was his size. He was not Sherman, he would never be Sherman and at the moment that was who she wanted to be with, who she wanted to have hugging her and comforting; she wanted her father. Growling she pushed Thomas away and ran off into the woods, needing space, needing air, just needing to get away from the home that had suddenly become a living tomb to her. As chance would have it she ran off in the direction that Lucan had walked, so at least she would not be out there alone which given her emotional state could have some nasty repercussions.<br/><span style="color: #BF4000"><br/>The whole atmosphere of the pack and the cave as a whole was rather depressing and strained with everyone moving off to do their own thing. It was understandable but also not truly the smartest thing to do at the moment given their recent problems. Aidan decided to try and help the situation out a bit, at least for Thomas's sake since she knew this was not easy on him either. Watching as Jaden fainted and was then helped into the cave by Juliet and Lucia, Aidan knew that he was in good hands and so was not too concerned. Matt was still sitting by the entrance looking emotionally drained but at least he was still at the cave so again not someone she had to worry about at the moment; though she still planned on catching up to him later. Which left her and Thomas at the cave with three of them out in the woods, Kakasha alone and Eryan possibly with Lucan; yep time to get get things organized a bit. <br/><br/>Going to Thomas she knelt down where he was still kneeling from his hug with Eryan, her hand rested lightly on his shoulder to get his attention waiting to speak till her turned his gaze to her. The emotion that she saw there made her throat tighten with a sudden rush of feelings, causing her to swallow a time or two before she went on with what she had to say.<br/><br/>"I think we should hold a bonding ceremony for Lucan and Eryan tonight. We never did get him properly integrated with the pack and with Eryan back I think it would be a good way to help bring us all back together. Unite the family again..." her tone gentle she moved her hand to his back rubbing it lightly trying to give a bit of comfort to him. "I will go with Kakasha on patrol, we will pick up Lucan and Eryan before we head back..." she trailed off a bit as she looked at him wanting to say something more, to try and make things better. <br/><br/>In the end all she could do was smile, lean in and give him a light kiss on the cheek  followed up by a hug, "It will be ok" she whispered to him before ending the hug standing and shifting to her to her wolf form to catch up to Kakasha. Her body making her focus a bit on his lingering scent from the hug, though her mind was struggling to focus on the area around her knowing that such distraction was not safe in the times they lived in.</span><br/><br/><br/>Eryan ran on through the woods tears in her eyes as she tried to forget the pain in her chest, forget her lost, forget the feeling of being alone and unloved. Not wholly paying attention to where she was going inadvertently ran into the back of Lucan causing her to knock him to the ground with her on top of him, though that only lasted a mere second before she was on her feet again glaring down at him. Her lips pulled back into a snarl, showing off the fangs that were beginning to crest, as her wolf struggled to be free. Not recognizing Lucan at first she gave a warning growl and tensed as if to lunged at him only to relax a bit when her nose picked up his scent and made her remember that he was a friend and not the enemy.<br/><br/>"Sorry..." she spat out as she turned her back to him stalking over to a tree to rest against, suddenly very tired and drained.
