He'd been trailing a bit behind the others on their journey to the North. With limbs long enough to tower over most of them giving him the ability to undoubtedly keep up the pace, it would be difficult to explain not having intentions to do so; however, it'd been some time since Armai and Nox had eaten, he imagined. He could not recall them doing so on their journey to the South, and taking another journey on an empty stomach had to be tiring. It was for him, anyway.
He separated from the group for awhile to hunt and sate his own hunger, feeding on nearly the whole population of a warren he'd found though it had taken a bit of digging to collect them all. He knew he was pushing it on time, but he would not return without something to make it up to Armai on why he had trailed off. All the rabbits he'd found in the warren had barely filled his own stomach, so he was on the hunt for something a little more substantial for the two of them. It would be difficult to do alone, but he managed to capture a fox hanging around waterfall peak on his way. This one he left mostly in tact, save for the killing wound administered to it's skull and neck and a few bite marks along it's hinds, it was ready to be eaten. Hunting wasn't his passion, but it was necessity, was it not?
With haste, he rushed over the rest of the alpine terrain he had left to cover before uncovering the scent of Xeph and the others once again and following it into Soul Sand Cove. He had not been invited to attend, exactly... but he couldn't imagine missing the first meeting for the pack that Armai seemed to have high hopes for. He wanted to see things out and make sure she was in a place surrounded by people that deserved the loyalty she'd already shown toward them. He was slowly beginning to realize that he cared a bit more than a stranger should, but he was not bothered by it. Armai was easy to catch interest in, and easy to want to help ensure that she remained happy.
Long limbs carried him across the scent markers placed by the new alpha as he slowed his pace and kept his demeanor calm, his jowls tightly wrapped around the dangling fox in his jaws. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea bringing food to a pack of wolves he barely knew, but if time had allowed he would have put off his hunger a bit longer. When his eyes finally found Armai, his gentle features pulled into a smile around his hold and he found a path toward her, choosing to sit on the side of her that Nox was opposite. He dropped the fox at her paws and lowered his head, "Hello again." His oceanic stare drifted around the small gathering that had made it so far, noticing Soleil glaring at the brown woman. He smirked, seems like not much had changed from the last gathering so far. He returned his attention to Armai.
"I'd like to apologize for getting separated back there, not making for a very good travelling companion am I?" He chuckled, resting now on his hinds as he settled in and waited for the meeting to start and continued with his explanation. "I have a bad habit of putting off hunting until I'm practically starving, but I brought you back a fox as a sort of.. peace offering. Will you forgive me?" His kind tone was spoken through a smile through-out the entirety of his speech.
