He had seen Resin off, and he knew she was gone. It was another to see it for himself he wondered what it would be like to enter the hot springs and find it empty. But he wouldn't let it bring him down, perhaps he could make a trip out of it another time. Him and Hikaru could take an adventure down their, and see Resin's new terratory. No doubt his grandmother could make use of two young boys in setting up and building. Perhaps, just maybe, Mortis could get a few tips to building a home well he was at it. he filed the thought away for another day. One adventure at a time, right? today was a hot springs dat-er, trip.
He had grabbed one of the bags stored in the celler, and filled it with a variety of dried goods. from salmon to honeyed pork. A couple of cantens were tossed in for good measure. They may well need something cold to drink after spending some time in the steaming hot springs water. What else could they possibly need? He added in a basic first aid kit. Not that he knew much about healing, but he could kiss a booboo and toss a patch over it. They wouldn't endure anything worse, he would potect Hikaru. Not that his fighting-fit friend would need protection. But... it would be his honour anyway.
Now he was just missing one thing - the boy himself. Bag over his shoulder, and the early hours of the morning barely beginning, he trotted back to his den under the cover of darknes. Taking a seat in the den entrance, and waiting for his friend to awake.

Hikaru was serious about keeping shape, and he’d been to the battlefield once already and was debating about going again. He was trying to meet his pack members, and when he realized what he was doing a feeling similar to the one he’d felt with Keetie filled his belly. Kaiyo wanted to make Mort proud. He felt like the only wolf in the world truly on his side, though he was thankful for both Hanako and Hattori. He quickly settled into daily life with the Armada heir and Hika felt for once like he truly belonged.
The young koi slept deeply inside the dug out den, he’d insisted that it was plenty and then some but Mortis seemed to have something else in mind. Hikaru would follow him wherever he wanted to go, he never slept so soundly as when he was beside the winged boy. So that morning as he slept alone his sleep was lighter than normal. He tossed and turned a little until he heard Mortis settle at the entrance.
He slowly waded fully to wakefulness, curious why Mort was suddenly guarding the door. Hika lazily found his feet, absently wondering if he could convince the winged warrior to the battlefield. Not hesitating in showing his affection Hika nudged the blue marked fur in a groggy hello. ”Good morning.” He greeted with a yawn. ”You’re up and going early.” Hika added in absent comment as he leaned more heavily against Mortis in show of his drowsiness. He’d been sleeping in too much lately.

His tail wiggled as he sensed Hikaru come to life in his den and make his way to the entrance. He returned the greeting with equal affection, getting to his feet and offering Hikaru a gentle nose boop into the soft neck of the white wolf.
Mortis was sometimes out early, mostly if he was rostered on border patrols at that hour, or if he wanted to sneak in some fishing. Since Hikaru had joined him, those reasons hadn’t come up yet. Hikaru had seen the less-early rising part of him. At his question, Mort only grinned and wagged his tail some more.
He would wait for his friend to see the packed previsions before he gave the game away. “Just getting an early start to the day.” hge said, glancing at Hikaru from the corner of his eyes.

Mort’s gentle affection was refreshing as the cold breeze outside the tunnel den. He shook off a slight shiver as the winged boy got to his paws. Hika had been sleeping in recently, and hadn’t been around long enough to see Mort leave the den much before dawn before. This was a strange occurrence but the sleep would hide the clue for a little bit longer as another wide yawn took hold of him. He blinked open his stormy gaze and inhaled more sharply as Mortis answered cryptically.
Finally though Hikaru would see the bag on his friend’s back. ”Early start for a trip somewhere?” He questioned quietly as wakefulness started to take hold. He looked quite packed up. Suddenly the boy’s expression brightened. ”Are you going to the hotsprings?” He’d let Mortis invite him but he was suddenly alight with a buzzing excitement.

It didn’t take long for the white warrior to shake off a few layers of sleepiness and notice something odd about Mort’s manner. From there, his eyes found the bag and the start of excitement sparked in his eyes. His soft silver gaze glowing like starlight. “We are'' the winged heir agreed, nudging the smaller wolf with his side. Fighting the urge to dig his nose into his friend's plush coat.
“Are you ready to go, or do you want a bit longer to wake up first?” he didn’t want to go dragging him off a few lands over before he had even had a chance to shake off sleep. He ignored the little reminder in the back of his head telling him he couldn’t introduce his friend to his Grandmother, that she wouldn’t be there.

Hikaru’s brow lowered in suspicion but that didn’t detract from the excitement that filled his bones. Mortis was quick to correct his statement, we are, which woke Kaiyo even more. He leaned into Mort’s quick affection but stretched languidly after the other boy stood up, ready to go. He hummed lightly and shook the last vestiges of sleep from his pale coat while Mortis made certain that his companion was indeed prepared for their journey. He’d been forced to be up much earlier, and be much more alert, when he’d been in training. This would be a leisurely stroll in comparison to the early morning drills. Excitement and suspense would fill him instead of anxiety and dread.
”No, I’m ready!” He assured Mort with a bump from his shoulder and he bound forwards playfully to encourage his friend to hurry up. ”I was ready to go to the hot springs the day I got here.” He chuckled brightly, an unfettered grin playing on his features as he looked back over his shoulder at Mort’s winged form.
