Timber Shivers and Alfalfa

With his sister missing, there wasn't much for Rowan to do. He completed a circuit around a bit of Boreas, and now he was in Auster - a decision he didn't regret, inasmuch as weather and scenery. He missed his sister, of course, and worried for her, but at this point... he wasn't certain if he'd see her again. She disappeared, gone. He didn't think that Tempest had found her; rather, he believed that she simply got a bug and up and left. It was simply part of her personality, what she did. Hopefully, though, she would make right decisions - and hopefully, she would return. But her scent had grown stale, and all traces of her gone. No leads, no signs, no wolves who had seen her. It had been months now, and growing still.

Where he was now was quite beautiful, though. Wandering on his own did wonders; while lonely, it was quite educational and definitely breathtaking. This was one such place. Greenery was in abundance, and the rich smell of wildlife filled his nostrils... including that of another wolf. Snapping to attention, the male scanned the area around the dam, to spot a brown female searching around the river bank. For what? Hmm, possibly herbs - there was quite an abundance around this area. He approached quietly, curiosity in his gaze. This would be his first interaction in a while; why would he pass up such a thing? "Hello!" he greeted cheerfully enough, pausing several feet away.
