He woke up feeling...strange. He wasn't sure what to call the feeling...it was a mixture of things, and what he could place just didn't feel right. Melancholic. Indifferent. Angry. Afraid. Anxious. Confused. At ease... He couldn't place just one feeling, but it was as if they were all combining or changing so fast he felt like a chameleon in his own skin. He didn't know how he was supposed to feel right now. He had been feeling remorse for half blinding his uncle before exiling him and Winter, and for forcing Tsunami to stay. And especially for threatening Drifa...but he knew in his heart of hearts he could never kill the Elder woman...he knew his mind often shifted to more violent tendencies, but he honestly felt he didn't have it in him to do something like that. Sighing, he stopped at the edge of the borders and looked out. He tried to occupy his mind with a patrol, but not even that seemed to be working...

Yurei was preparing for a new day of duties and all pertaining her path as a healer, even if she wasnt a healer by rank anymore... But even if she wasnt , she still did her best to be there for whoever needed her help, for whoever needed treatment. She was doing this for Casso, her loved Casso and in the memories of the promise she once did to Acere the now exiled king. She wondered if he was alright wherever he was, safe and well, but his injuries were pretty bad and she didnt have the chance to atleast treat him. But he was now far away gone, and she prayed he would been better now. She walked with Aki her wild cat on her back, with her healer backpack on her hip they both were ready for foraging for herbs in warmer conditions but as she walked she spotted Ignis at the borders. Only the fact that they were once friends stopped her from turning away. Would he attack her? Did he forget their friendship? If she was honest she didn't fear him before, but after he did what he did she was. But he was now her alpha, and she needed to learn to coexist with him again, but that would be a very slow path and even more for when she and Casso finally took their step for parenting. She approached. "Hello..." She greeted but not looking at his eyes. "Talk"

"Talk" Walk He took a deep breath as he took a step to go beyond the borders for yet another day to just get away. But a familiar voice halted him mid-step. He turned to see Yurei a short distance away, but she wasn't looking at him. He understood though. She had always been sort of meek and shy, had a hard time approaching others and he was certain that his actions had made her a lot more fearful of him. If she hadn't been fearful of him before, he had no doubt that she was terrified of him now. "Oh, hey Yurei..." He glanced back towards the lands beyond the borders but decided to see what she wanted first if anything. Turning towards her, he tried his best to make himself appear less...intimidating, but after what he'd done, he doubted that was possible. "Is there something you need?" He asked quietly, crimson gaze darting from her face to the ground as he was having trouble deciding whether he should try to maintain eye contact or not...
