Her explorations were taking her all over the place. A few days in one area, a couple in another. She wasn't too worried about Insomnia while she was out, after all, she had ears and eyes everywhere nowadays. She trusted Ghoul to keep things together when she was away, and as long as her kids didn't burn everything down, all was well. She had a temporary satchel that had a few things she might need for her trip, but honestly, she could just hunt her own food and find shelter easily enough. Making her way to the small island off the eastern shore, she shook the sea water off and gazed in awe at the rotten structure that she was sure looked pretty neat pre-rotten days. The skeletal marked woman quietly made her way up the beach, though she noticed another set of prints and figured she probably wasn't the only one here today. Though the scent wasn't familiar that much...oh well, maybe they were inside already? "Medusa"

He was checking out the island, trying to clear his mind and to keep Him from trying to claw his way out. He had been getting stronger. Or perhaps Ignis' mind was weakening. He had been faltering lately, allowing Him too much control. Especially when he had confronted his kids about their failure in the last raid...Rivin had finally shown a side that had been lurking beneath her surface. Ig knew it was due to show, and he hadn't known when. But it finally arrived, and now that there was another presence, his own was biting at the bit. He didn't know what would happen should these forces get stronger, but he had no idea how to keep it under control. So for now, he did what he knew the best course to be, and retreated on his own for a few days. The island was...quiet. The sound of tropical birds and the waves on the other side of the trees was all he could hear. It lulled his mind a bit, just enough to keep him from feeling like he was going insane. He paused to look up at the rundown structure that he imagined used to be something grand back in the day. But now it was nothing more than old bones. Remnants of what used to be. A low growl in his head, a whisper if he could call it that, had him turning his head to find that he wasn't alone. Someone was approaching, and the figure looked vaguely familiar. He remembered brief flashes from a pack challenge...but surely he'd seen her elsewhere, no? She had a grin on her face as she came out from the other side of the trees, her coat was wet and it seemed like she had made no attempt to shake any of the water off. Raising a brow, he tried to figure out where he'd seen her... "Ignis""Blödhgarm"

She emerged from the treeline and approached the building, but what stood in front of the building had her attention more. A familiar red man that she had seen several times before! She grinned as she approached, a mischievous glint in her eye as she pranced closer. "Medusa has not seen the red man for a while! Did he know that there is a red boy that looks like him in Medusa's pack?" She flashed a grin. She knew Vulcan had looked similar to someone she knew, and it was this guy! She didn't remember his name, but she definitely remembered hunting with him and Corbie! She dropped into a sit as she tilted her head, her grin never leaving her lips as she studied him. He had a lot more scars than she remembered seeing, and his ear was all torn up! "Red man gets into a lotta fights, doesn't he? Medusa does too, but she doesn't have a lotta scars like that! Is it because he lost a lotta fights?" "Medusa"
