The male suddenly sat sternal switching so that he was laying on the left side of his hip, and sighed his ears laying back against his skull gently. He would only relax for a little bit before he would be up and on the move again. The more he thought the more he was considering moving to the West, maybe even further to Auster. The winter would hopefully be more milder in those parts of Ardent and he would have a better chance of easier survival this winter. He had a lot that needed to do in such little time, but he would get it done. He felt after last year he would be able to get things accomplished. What really worried him was getting a den made and bedded so that it would be warm and finding a great spot that had plenty of smaller prey for a loner to live off of. So much to do and as the thoughts kept circling through his mind it began pushing him to get himself moving. With a grunt the leggy male stretched out his long legs. He was just about to pull himself to his feet when a noise disturbed the stillness of the area. Immediately his ears went up and his eyes flew open. His muscles tensed and his body remained still, except for the twitching of his nose. Taking in the scents he realized the sound was downwind from him meaning whatever creature had created the disturbance most likely knew of his presence. He listened intently as the creature moved again the noise sounding like the creature was in the water. It slowly moved in his direction and even though he didn't know what was creating it he knew he should check it out. If it was danger he should prepare to defend himself. The water stopped, the creature must have gotten out and this was when he rose to his feet. He moved towards where the noise had been coming from, his tail and muscles tensed. Pushing through the brush until the creature came into view. Upon sight the male stopped his body perked, looking her over. Immediately the markings and the build of the female struck him as familiar. His memory had always been good with faces and places he considered his memory eidetic. Mostly white with those unforgettable black markings and bright blue eyes, the same shade that Ilona had. His gaze softened and his heart ached at the reminder of his love. There was no doubt that this was Ilona's dear sister and his former alpha. The scarred male relaxed, his tail falling to lay naturally against his rear. Head lowered in respect towards her. Even though the pack was gone, even though she no longer held her high rank, the male still held a deep respect for the women. He dipped his head in greeting before taking a few more steps towards her. "My alpha.... Caelum...... I'm glad you survived," the large male's voice was deep and smooth and surprisingly steady.
