Sunrise, Sunset

The day was early, dawn was slowly approaching and warming the North as it did this time of year. He wasn't sure what to do with himself some days now that the stress of the former deal for Kai was done and over with. And while that was definitely over with, he still felt stressed about it. He huffed as he walked over to the front of the ship and stared out over the horizon, watching as the sun began to slowly rise, bleeding its colors onto the snow and water. It was always a wondrous sight, and he was glad he had chosen the lands he did upon starting Winterfell. And although he knew he'd soon be retiring, he half hoped his chosen successor would keep the pack here. But of course, that wouldn't be his choice once he stepped down. He was getting old, however. He couldn't nor didn't want to stay alpha forever. He wanted to retire and not feel the responsibilities anymore in his old age...and since these thoughts wouldn't leave his head, he knew it was about that time. It was all he thought about lately.
