With his senses tuned in to his surroundings, he saw Avalon approaching from quite a distance, her companion circling far overhead. However, he hadn't recognized her right away, and he stood quietly as she seemed to wander with her head low and eyes downcast. He watched her as she finally looked up, seeming to pause momentarily before carrying on in his direction. Seeing that the wolf was heading for him, he turned to face her, slightly on guard. But as she drew closer, and he could see her features more clearly, he realized he knew this woman. He hadn't expected to see anyone familiar, and he took a few steps to meet her. He heard her greeting, and snorted while shaking his head. "Greetings, Avalon," he replied in his gruff as always tone, a slight chuckle escaping him as he spoke his next words, "Heh, you thought you'd outlive me, huh?" It was amusing to speak of his age with someone who was also getting on in age. It made him feel less alone in this aging journey, a milestone he never thought he'd reach in this lifetime. He'd always been sure he would die in some sort of fight or hunting accident. Yet, here he was, still standing on his own four paws. And so was she.

"It's good to see a familiar face," he admitted, his silver eyes looking over her. She had aged well, her large frame still carrying her strongly despite her age, though perhaps some of the colours in her pelt were a little faded. His own muzzle was lighter than it had been, with flecks of white strewn throughout the gray on his face. Meeting her gaze, he wondered what had happened in the seasons he'd been gone from these lands. "How have you fared all these years?" he asked curiously, "Do you live in the North, now? Hadn't your pack moved to Auster long ago?" He didn't mind catching up with the woman, it had been so long since he'd seen her and he was still a little shocked to see her still alive. But it was a good kind of shock nonetheless.
