Tony sneaked North, sticking to the shadows as he made his way towards one of the Loci he had found a few months back. It was a ways further, and he could still look back and see the Tur if he had wanted too. But he didn't. It was the past, it was time to look to the future and the possible shit storm it could bring.

Kevin keep a steady pace behind his Alpha, Steel Gaze, who's carrying their supposed third pack-mate. In his muzzle, he carries his duffel bag. His gaze often shifts to look in the direction of any obvious noise or towards Sniveling Fox before his gaze returns to looking off before them.
The threat of Pure seems so small given that they have more pressing concerns.

Alicia did her best to sneak along with the other wolves but she clearly was more used to strutting her stuff than trying to stick to the shadows. Thankfully the skin she wore blessed her with enough natural ability to reduce the amount of noise she made, but it was only marginal. Certainly the Storm Lords were known for being slippery when they willed themselves to be; Alicia, however, rarely willed herself to be anything other than loud and proud.
Oh, and then there was also the matter of the blood she trailed not doing much to hide their passing. Talk about painting the Hisil red.

Steel is doing his best not to grumble. Grumbling is not becoming of an Alpha, even one in his position.
Still, lugging Jessie around is getting damn exhausting.
"Glad you came along when you did, Tony," Steel says, trying to keep his mind off his load. "Don't wanna think how I woulda wound up if you hadn't showed."
While the treatment had been rough after Jessie went into Shock, he slowly recovered aided by his werewolf physiology. Slowly, his breathing normalized and his complexion started to return to normal, but still he did not wake.

<<Dead.>> Tony growled bluntly. He still couldn't believe Steel Gaze was lugging that thing around after what went down earlier tonight.
As they made their way north the Ithauer looked back to the wounded. <<Locus further north. Where Firebringer and others?>> He hadn't really had the chance to ask, and he kinda needed the help.

<<Didn't look at cell. Don't recall if name of place said out loud.>> Kevin growls after flickering his eyes towards Steel Gaze. Expected to wait at Tur for them. They had left after Steel had gone after Sniveling Fox. <<They took truck.>> He admits with a growl and snort.

<<Thank Luna,>> Alicia-wolf panted, relieved that they would be at the locus soon and that they didn't have to be so quiet anymore. Much easier to deal with pain when you could whine and grumble about it. Much harder to suffer in silence. Not that she was really used to suffering, period, but when it was for a worthy cause she would endure.
<<They bite Grandfather,>> she clarified. Well as much as she could. Maybe after they healed up they could go back to owl-thing and make it let them wait there until the rest of them showed up. Now that she thought about it, she thought she'd seen Slick's purse lying somewhere before the Pure showed up. At least the Elodoth had been smart enough to encourage Alicia not to drive her car close to the Tur. That would have been a whole other clusterfuck.

"Yeah, pretty much that," Steel confirmed the other two's stories. "I hadda chase Jess here, so I don't have much more specifics. Firebringer and the others had a phone or something with the address on it."
If Jessie hadn't flipped out, Steel probably could have snuck a peek at that information. No going back now, of course.
"Slim chance we could follow the car's trail if it comes down to it," Steel guesses. "Just hope we won't be too late to help."

A low growl marked Tony's response to Alicia. Then Steel Gaze confirms and the Ithauer simply looks ahead for a moment.
<<Risk to stir the pot. Spirits barely held in. Need to catch Firebringer.>> Of coarse going into Pure territory right now was literally going to cost them an arm and a leg right now, so healing was a priority. The locus was only a little further anyway.
