Var hadn't meant to intrude on any private exchanges, but he'd been bored and had wanted to see what Quin had been up to. The two were fast friends, despite Quin's closeness to Kalain, and Var often went looking for his company when he wasn't busy with hunter training. Which, with Jove as their trainer, was not often enough by Var's way of thinking, though he understood very well the necessity of constant practice. He was better than his siblings at tracking and likely always would be, so at least he had something to offer the pack. He'd been looking for Quin at the height of one of those successful tracking tests.
He hadn't meant to come at a bad time, but from the way Aunt Sati was running off towards the dens he got the distinct impression that that was what he'd done. He glanced at Quin's face for a moment before coming forward.
"Everything all right, Quin?" He asked quietly, taking the chance to observe his friend's reaction to Var's rather abrupt appearance.

Quin's skin quivered, his whole body near leaping right off the ground as the soft voice reached his ear. Normally quiet, and being able to feel, somehow, the presence of others it wasn't often he was snuck up on. His mind was in another place - his admissions to Sati had terrified him and the pain of how he had hurt her feelings still seemed to linger in his mind as though the pair were still connected by a thin silk thread of longing, pain, hurt, closeness.
Would she tell others? Would they throw him out? Would she be able to look him in the eyes again? These were the questions that were running through his mind when the young male entered the den. He knew, right off, that a denial wouldn't work - the sheer concern practically radiating from Var told him that he had seen Sati as she left.
"Var... I did not see you there..." his language always because a little more formal, stilted when he was upset - a lingering testament to the fact he'd not been brought up with it.

He hadn't answered the question. Var looked over Quin's face once more and then looked off after where Aunt Sati had gone. They'd had a fight? That didn't sound like Quin, but he couldn't see any other reason for her to run or Quin to be so out of sorts.
The question was: ask Quin to talk about it or not? Some wolves needed time to adjust to things before they could speak, but Var thought he knew his friend pretty well by now, and whatever had happened wasn't something he was likely to talk about if Var just let it go for the moment. Besides, it looked like he'd seen a fearsome spirit; whatever caused a normally calm wolf to look that way was big enough that he likely needed support.
"Hey," Var said, moving up to bump his head briefly into Quin's shoulder before backing up a step to look at him. It looked like Quin needed the added reminder to stay in the present. Var felt his worry grow and he knew it was showing on his face by now. "What's wrong?"
