He had been traveling literally all day and the digging off and on had worked his muscles. He was a bit worn out and since he was this far he went in search of the hot springs. He knew the springs would ease his muscles. Even though it was summer and rather warm to begin with, he was still going to submerge himself in the hot springs. He had left his satchel in a safe place that he would pass on the way home and he was feeling rather odd without the human made thing on him. He didn't want to get it or the contents wet, so it was better to leave it behind.
His pace was even, not rushing himself but not going slow either. He wanted to get there, spend a little time, then head home for a good night's sleep. He would need it in order to keep up with what he wanted to do. He had a lot of work to do and it would take every little bit of his time to get them done. He was getting closer and closer to getting his pack up and running and he was running out of time on getting other things done.
Soon he had arrived at the outskirts of the springs and he moved past the borders towards the pools as he grew closer a fresh scent lingered within the moist air of the springs. He let out a quieter bark so he wouldn't startle the other. He was warning the other of his presence. When the other wolf came into view he smiled and his tail wagged in greeting.
