This place was.. uncomfortably familiar for him. He'd felt defensive upon initially realizing that the pack was changing - he'd never been a fan of change of any kind, not really, and having to move his young children was rather distressing for him. The journey hadn't been a difficult one at all. In fact, it'd been enjoyable to travel with the children, and let them see more of the world than they'd ever seen.. and likely ever would see for quite some time, if he had anything to do with it.

This place, though.. was less than ideal. He hadn't known the name of it, and he was taken by surprise as they first started to explore the flat terrain here, so far from where he had started his family in the north. This, he quickly remembered, was the same place he'd come after he found his parents after they'd died. Being here again felt strange. The part of him that he'd tucked away, that he'd thought he had left behind, was resurfacing. The grief and the torment that he'd felt that day felt closer than it ever had, though he knew he had no reason to feel anything but elated. He had a beautiful family - his children were perfect and amazed him every day, and his mate was far too good for him and to him.

He knew feeling so awful here wasn't reasonable, and knew he should've been over it by now. It wasn't something he wanted to burden Esarosa with, so he trudged on as usual as they got used to their new home. Today, though, he found himself on his own. He wandered through the plains, grateful for the cloudy day, the somber mood matching his own. He wore the faintest hint of a scowl, without meaning to, as he moved quietly through the terrain, crimson gaze fixed on little more than his two paws.
