Seeking Shelter

Bi-colored gaze watched her as she managed to sniff out another rat. It wasn't the best meal but it would tide them over for a little while and where there was one rodent there were always more. He'd noticed that about the little creatures. Their nests always consisted of more than one so at least they had something to eat while they waited out the snow. It hopefully wouldn't be too much longer before the weather cleared up and they were able to travel more freely. He didn't mind the snow too much, but he liked having better places to sleep and better things to eat that the warmer months offered.

He felt better once she was able to catch one of her own and joined him to eat. He tucked into his own meal as he listened to her explain why she had left her old home to join him. He was flattered, and maybe slightly awkward, that she'd chosen to come with him. Her mutual interest in healing also helped him feel better about it. At least she had other reasons for leaving as well and if she knew some things it meant she could possibly teach him as well.

He was disheartened to hear that her pack had vanished in her absence. It was painful to think about when something more than similar had happened to him after his first birthday. His ears flattened against his skull as he thought about it and licked his lips free of the remains of his meal. "I'm sorry to hear your pack left." He murmured. "I know what it feels like. I lived in a pack called Donostrea. They took me in when I was only a few months old. Unfortunately they just left one day and left me behind." Even with Ray's half-assed explanation as to why they had left, it hadn't made him feel any better. They could have at least brought him with him, but he'd never been a true Elementas so maybe that was why. Blood family over adopted family? In his case it didn't work out for his own siblings. Ricochet had abandoned him too.
