He blinks at her, almost uncertain. Slowly, he looks from the space behind him, to the girl again. He apparently hears something she does not, for his reply is delayed, and his tone a bit shakey. But as he does begin to speak...

"Well-"

"Kalub?"

The wingli make shis entrance, golden eyes traine don his son's from. They play between the two, gaze overcoming the scene of the two children with unintentional contempt. The resemblance between father and son is striking, however, unlike the featheres of the pre-teen, the wingli's fanned appendages were pale grey. Not feathered, but that resembling a dragon's wings. His stare is placid, but he does not speak unkindly.

"Your mother went to the Hills looking for you, kid. You know that you weren't supposed to leave without me. I'm sure you know what to do."

That is all he says for the moment. He says nothing to the girl, but notes her presence with an undecicive attitude.

Kalub's change of face is instantaneous. "Dad, why won't you-"

"You're too young, Kalub. Find your mother."

With a stiff nod, the wingli disappears from the stable entrance. The soft sound of leathery wings catching the breeze enues, stating the obvious. Kalub stands, defeated. Then, unexpectedly, he rams a fist into a nearby stall door. "That isn't fair! He doesn't even stay long enough to talk to me! He won't even..."

He stops. His tone changes when he looks at the girl next. "Never mind. I...uh, thanks. I...I have to go now. I'll see you!"

Even as he races to the stable doors, his thoughts tell him, half-consciously. I hope.
