And by the immediate realization and restlessness at Serph not seeing anyone else for five months, he wouldn't have waited long to start looking for her. Serph could at least defend himself, awkward but interesting new additions aside, so could the rest of the tribe .. Sera could not. And even the thought of her out there on her own..
It's disturbing in a way he can't articulate.
Serph could ask, but would he get the answer he wants? He'd turned his claws on his Leader before, but he hadn't intended to kill him. Something changes.
Heat doesn't relax exactly when Serph reiterates their goals, the same one as before - reaching Nirvana. But a little of the sudden apprehension fades by degrees. They were supposed to be there already, and it's easy to come to the conclusion that somehow it's only they that are separated from the rest, and Sera and the others must in fact already be there.
Must be safe. If they weren't, Serph would be in more of a rush, right? "Fine. But this 'convoy' or whatever better not drag its feet." At least they knew where the temple was last time, this place looked ... a lot bigger. "We could probably make better time on our own."
