Red had been slowly familiarizing himself with the land, the boundaries, and the animals that called Valhalla's lands home. He would need to learn the habits of prey and predators alike here, to more easily fit himself into the dance of life and death that played out every time the pack would need to eat, or a predator removed. He'd stored his crafting supplies - what remained of them after the festival - in an unused nook in Aurielle's family's cave system, but he hadn't yet decided on a place to den up at. Even with the autumn weather it had been warm enough in the west for him to simply sleep under the stars, so that had been what he'd chosen to do for now until he found someplace that spoke to him.

He had been out late patrolling the border, partly to watch the habits of the night-dwelling creatures in addition to guarding the pack lands, when everything went still for a moment. No birds, no insects, just the wind in the grass. He stopped as well, uneasy... and then the ground beneath him convulsed. Just that once, that hearkening to some far distant event, but that was enough to cause alarm. Aurielle's voice rose over the pack lands a moment later, and Red gave a nod to himself. Truth, it would be wise to call a meeting now, before anyone had time to panic, and to get accountability of the pack members. He turned to follow the sound and stopped dead at the sight of a strange glow far off on the horizon. Well now, that was right unsettling. Volcano, was it? He had seen one once erupt once, back to home. It had devastated part of the kingdom's lands that year, but it had only been a minor eruption. He had never been to this volcano, and wasn't sure how far it was from Valhalla lands nor how large it was. How much would they need worry?

He wrapped calm around him like a cloak and strode off to meet the rest of the pack, but he didn't stop thinking. They'd need to send off a scout or several, likely, to see the extent of the damage, but it would be a dangerous mission. Aurielle might prefer to err on the side of caution, and keep them all close to home to keep them safe. He wasn't sure, not knowing her or her leadership quite well enough to say just now. He came to a stop quietly and greeted Aurielle with a nod, though his gaze strayed back to the glow on the horizon, viewed through the mists.
