Áki wasn't sure why he'd stuck around in Abaven for so long. He hadn't intended to stay any longer than intended, not at all, but it seemed as though Kai had been enjoying himself. He'd taken to exploring the packlands and even meeting a few wolves - and spending time with his mother, of course. Though restless to leave these lands behind, he had waited it out. Perhaps selfishly, he didn't want much of their.. culture, so to speak, rubbing off on his son. Didn't want him thinking he owed allegiance to anyone but himself, and didn't want him thinking anyone had any kind of rule over him, though he did want him to understand decency and respect. And gratitude, too, but he was likely too young to understand a complex topic like that so thoroughly.
Still, he was happy to leave and Kai seemed nonplussed about the departure. He seemed interested enough in his mother that Áki had no doubt he would stay in touch with her, but not enough that the prospect of an adventure away caused him any sort of distress. They weren't far from Abaven's lands yet; he hadn't yet decided if the weather was too harsh to venture into the deep north yet. Even here, the air had an undeniable chill to it. This plain didn't offer much shelter from the elements, either. The only thing that seemed to shape the flat terrain were an array of boulders, placed randomly across the earth, in no apparent order.. but too frequent to imagine they were anything but a work of the gods. It was unlike anything he'd seen before.
Finding a smaller one, Áki would head towards it and conquer its small height with one fluid motion, lifting himself easily onto the stone. "Come on up!" he exclaimed to Kai, beaming widely at his son, as his tail swayed in the air over his back. "You'll love the view!" Granted, it wasn't much of a view. He briefly thought back to the trip up the mountain peak he'd taken just a few seasons prior, noting that this was far less impressive, but such experiences would come with time.
