The male sighed, he'd thought of that but hadn't pursued the idea. The fool he was, running form one thing to the next all because of Asha. There were times in which he wished he hadn't taken her along with him and had just left her behind. He called her his mate but she refused to accept him, but yet she still traveled with him. Was he nothing more to her than some carry-along as she sought a dead mate? No, she shook the morbid thoughts from his head and turned back to the female.
"I..I thought of it, but I was in such a rush I did not check." he muttered pathetically, still angry with himself for not keeping his head on straight over the female. Damn her...he couldn't let her out of his sight for more than a few breaths before she wandered off and got herself lost and she always did so in a dramatic fashion.
"Let us try it and see. By not she could have gotten quite far from here." he sighed hanging his head a little, tail practically limp. He trod into the water and across the stream, fish darting here and there glittering in the reflection of the sun on the water. The water was cool around his legs, had Asha maybe gone in after the fish, or to cool down? He wouldn't put it past her at least, ditzy female, he thought to himself. "I feel like a fool." he sighed.

Bryna watched Ronin cross most of the way over the river before she turned and lowered her nose to the ground, keeping her eyes split between the ground before her, the area in front of her (so she could prevent any embarrassing situations involving trees or branches), and Ronin. The silence between the two and the distance given by the river gave the task an added element of calm. Bryna lost the tenseness in her pose she'd held until now and focused on capturing an elusive scent if, indeed, Asharadine had doubled back to this side of the river. Bryna found it more likely that she had passed by on Ronin's side, but she would keep her opinions to herself. If she didn't focus, she might miss something important.
Still, stubbornness was an incredible trait. Even with this female giving him what Bryna understood to be a constant slew of trouble, he was fixated on keeping her as his mate. Not exactly something to be said in his favor in this instance, but if the female ever did come around his patience would be well-rewarded.
If she wants to come around, Bryna reminded herself, exhaling a quick breath through her nose that stirred up the leaves and dirt by her face. She sneezed, the sound bouncing cheerfully across the slightly turbulent water of the river, and shook her head before sniffing at a tree she was passing. A wolf had marked it, but not the one she was looking for. She moved on, lifting her nose and pausing for a moment to see if Ronin was having the same lack of luck she was. If they went much further downstream it would be smarter to double back and check upriver rather than down.

White pelt ripping with the cold water flowed through his fur and chilled his paws and made his way out to the other side of the river shore and scented the ground, though there was no sight of prints from the female, there was no scent either. A breeze sifted through picking up the soft sand on the shore and making the male's fur prickle along the spine. A sense on the wind sent a faint shiver down him. Something dark lurked down wind, and he didn't feel like meeting it. He was more worried for the pale femme. How he knew what lurked downstream he didn't want to know, it was a sort of sixth sense that most creatures had.
He spend up his pace and continued down the shoreline, picking up what he thought a few times might of been Asharadine but turned out the be nothing more than his imagination jumping to conclusions. His anger rose and fell in him again, over and over as he went, every scent building on him as he bottled up the stress that was mentally picking his mind apart. He began to wonder why he had even taken the female under his wing to begin with.
"There's nothing..." he snarled, stamping a hind leg into the soft sand and scratching hard with his forepaws into the earth. "Let the b***h go." he howled and stared into the wood around. "She wants to get herself killed then let her. She wants to keep getting herself lost and running away, let her go ahead and search for that thing she calls her old mate, let her disappear into the abyss and be with him." he'd lost all patience for the female, letting the other help him over a meaningless search that somehow the back of him mind told him would be completely fruitless.

Bryna remained silent as Ronin vented his anger, but her thoughts were loud enough in her own mind. In a way she was glad Ronin had called off the search, so that she could be free of her obligation, although in her mind that also freed Ronin of his. It was only just.
"If the search is called off, then I must also insist that the offer you made to me be retracted as well. It would be unfair for me to get what I need when you did not." She stretched her legs out, then stood tall again. Asharadine would hopefully be able to take care of herself, and if she didn't find her old mate she might come back this way looking for Ronin. Maybe. Bryna carefully avoided commenting on either Asharadine or Ronin's abrupt temper.
"If I could be of further assistance, I would be." She glanced at the sky to see how long it had taken them to this point. A nap would be nice. More than a nap. With the need for accuracy gone, she could feel her original fatigue beginning to spread through her again. "Thank you for your offer of a hunt, and good luck." She smiled slightly. "I need to continue my own journey."

Amber eyes snapped up to look out over to the other, almost glaring in with his anger, his maw wrinkled into a nasty snarl, it softened a little as he heaved a large sigh and sat himself down on the shore. The anger still boiling through his veins, but it wasn't the fault of Bryna that Asharadine and run off again. To hell with her, she wasn't worth it to begin to with; yes he cared about her, but she had been more trouble than she was worth and he was coming to terms with that now.
"Do as you will...we won't find her, go about your way." he huffed with a low growl, his aggravation was coming through in his words as well, that was nothing new, but he was passed the point of caring anymore. He was on his own again, he wasn't even going to consider asking the Femme is he could join her. What would have been the point in such a thing? She was going to go her way and for a while he would curse the world around him letting his anger hold his heart until he couldn't bare it any longer and he would howl to sky and gods above cursing them and then return to his aloof state of wandering about alone again; joy.
"Don't worry about it, luck to you as well...you'll have a hell of a lot more than me." he sighed and stood again and headed off in the opposite direction of Bryna, he was done being in the presence of another. All he wanted at that moment was to be left alone. Mumbling curses under his breath he wandered off into the wood to just disappear into the silence of the coming night where he would become a silent white ghost drifting through the trees.
