I dream a dream so pretty

As much as he loved the North and all of the snow it provided, he was beyond appreciative for the reprieve from the past two seasons. Spring had arrived almost instantly; as soon as the sun started to warm the ground, vegetation had started to take root to the point where Northern Boreas was lusher than he'd seen a spring season in years. He'd taken a week to go scout the nearby territories, though he knew he probably should have answered the call of the hunt for Xephyris, he was too eager to discover what lay waiting in the rest of the North to fully answer. Now, however, it was time to return home.

After the incident with the avalanche, the cove hadn't felt quite the same. Before, it had felt so secluded and safe from the outside world. The avalanche had been a rude awakener, reminding them between the forces of nature and the forces of the ill-willed, they were never truly out of harm's way. Brutus couldn't wander for long and expect everything to be fine, he felt a responsibility to check on the well-being of his pack mates as often as he could.

As he strolled up to the shore of the cove, he noticed one of Xeph's children stalking a few gulls. Deciding not to disturb her from her hunting practice, the woodsy giant stopped in his tracks and waited for her to finish out her advance. He rested on his haunches there in the sun-warmed sand and only after she made her attempt, he'd let out a brief chuckle to announce his presence. "Hunting practice? I would hope so. Gulls make rather lackluster meals, after all. If you're hungry, I'm sure that even the food that has been lying around Vyper for days would taste better than the tough and stringy meat of a gull."
