A familiar scent filled Lucan's nostrils as Aiden emerged from the forest. He bowed his head slightly towards her in greeting, but then he got distracted with the presence of the alpha, Thomas. He was a good and strong leader unlike Dark Sky, however both had their own methods of leadership, Thomas seemed to have the more noble and honorable approach and it was something Lucan admired about the man.<br/><br/>â€œBe careful then if he just turnedâ€¦ we donâ€™t need him flipping out when he comes to and possibly hurt someone,â€<br/><br/>Lucan simply glanced back at the poor newcomer, then closed his eyes and took a slow but deep steady breath. He felt his legs shorten in length and size, his fur receded back into his skin and his face and arms molded back into their more presentable tanned skin tone and features. He could never feel the soul bound clothing reappear but he just always knew it came out somehow. As he opened his blue-gray eyes he glanced down at his chest, rubbing the massive scar Dark Sky left for him underneath his gray tank-top. Lucan let his mind wander back into that horrible night. Sometimes he hated himself for not seeing what the Raven Claws were truly capable of sooner, and he often wondered if he could have prevented the attack in any way...<br/><br/>"Walk and talk, Lucan." Lucan snapped back to reality and started heading towards Thomas. The began their casual stroll into the woods, away from the group, which was good because what Lucan had been pondering would not have gone very well in front of the others.<br/><br/>"Something bothers me about that bear. We're in the dead of winter and that thing was strolling around like it was on a Sunday picnic." Lucan glanced back towards the clearing.<br/><br/>"I can't help but think something forced it out of hibernation. And I'm afraid to think that it was the Raven Claws. Before..." Lucan stopped a moment and looked around. Then spoke in a softer tone.<br/><br/>"Before the attack...Dark Sky mentioned to me that it was something he had been planning for a long time. He had been scoping this area out alot after everyone was here. I'm thinking he might be trying that again, using bear caves or other hibernation spots as little outposts. Obviously i'm not one-hundred percent sure about that, but I wanted to at least bring it to your attention." Lucan paused a moment to let Thomas take in his theory.<br/><br/>"If you want I can start checking some of the small caves and hibernation spots in the area. I can smell if any of the claws have been around them."
