Kaitou rushes down the valley to where his family is. Krypton and Mira have mostly managed to haul Ruuza onto Kryptons' back so that they can carry her back to the camp without injuring her any more.
Matt and Kala are standing over Lunar, who is beginning to wake up as Kaitous' nearness enables him to pump a bit of extra strength into his older brother.
Terro and Flora are nearby, Terro supporting his Mate. Terro is the first to see Kaitou, and calls out to him.
"Kaitou! Are you okay?"
Kaitou stops not far from Terro and nods. He then heads over to where Krpyton and Mira are still struggling with his twin sister, and shifts his height so that he can help them.
"Thank you Kaitou. Will you be coming with us?"
Mira asks, wanting to get to know her grandson more. Krypton nods along with his Mates' words, thinking the same thing.
"Yes, I am. I've spent too much time away from my family. And besides, there are about to be more joining, and I wanna be around to help."
Kaitou replies, looking very serious. The adults all smile, and Mutt, who has just appeared, smiles as well.
"It's nice to finally meet you Kaitou. I'm Mutt."
He introduces himself. Kaitou smiles at the younger male and replies,
"It's nice to meet you as well Mutt. And thank you for being such a good friend to my twin sister, as annoying as she can be."
He then turns to his older brother, having heard him groan. He rushes to his side and Lunar blinks his eyes open.
"Kaitou? You're here!"
Lunar says happily, instantly recognizing his little brother.
"I am Lunar, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. Here, lemme help you up."
Kaitou allows his older brother to lean against him as he struggles to his feet, still quite weak due to the large amount of energy he used fighting Cober and transporting himself to Ruuzas' side. Kala slips onto Lunars' other side, supporting him, whilst Matt goes to help his mother.
Takaya stays back, not wanting to get in the way, especially with the glares Mutt is giving her. She swallows and then joins the group as they head back into the territory.
"Do you think they'll be okay?"
She asks Mutt, genunine concern for Lunar, Ruuza and Flora shining through. Mutt, sensing how genuine her concern is, replies,
"I'm sure they will be. Ruuza's a fighter, and once her injuries are healed up, she'll be fine. And with Kaitou here, Lunar should recover in no time. Flora's strong as well."
Takaya nods, not fully convinced. She notices Terro limping and cautiously approaches him.
"T-Terro, you can lean on me if your leg is sore."
She offers timidly. Terro smiles at her and does so, allowing his son to take the weight of his mother.
Once the entirety of the pack is back inside the borders, the medical wolves immediately begin administering medications and slaves.
Kaitou, quickly realising that they're going to be run off their feet, turns to Krypton, who has set his twin sister down on some soft moss, his older brother easing himself down beside her.
"Krypton, is it alright if I call one of my friends? She's one of the best medics I know, and yours could surely use some help."
Krypton, who has noticed the same thing as Kaitou, grants his permission. Kaitou nuzzles his older brother and then slips out of the border to contact Kane and ask him to send Micaiha with some of her stronger medicines.
