Today was just another day, and so far had proved entirely uneventful. A brief patrol around the island had shown him that nothing out of the ordinary was happening - the ash that obscured much of the sky didn't seem to be fading quite yet, and the bitter cold that had settled over the island showed no sign whatsoever of fading. But Abaven was surviving, as they always had and always would, and Corvus was beginning to feel far more hopeful for their future than he had in awhile. He wondered what Theory's next move would be, once the mainlands were safe to return to. Would their home ever be the same again? Could it even support life after the eruption, or would going elsewhere be the safest bet?

Those questions bounced around in his head as he made his way down the shore. His pace was a lazy one; he hadn't seen anyone else around the island except for his packmates, and admittedly he'd let his guard slip a bit. Perhaps to some wolves, this might be an opportune to cause trouble, but generally he expected that most were in need of help.. and those that weren't, were less likely to tread where they weren't supposed to. Of course, this island wasn't theirs - they'd been more focused on making sure everyone was settling in and keeping up their strength than they had been worried about ensuring their border was obviously marked.

That was why seeing a stranger there, as he strolled down the beach, caught him completely off guard. Even from a distance he could tell the stranger looked different than most he had ever seen, but from so far off it was hard to tell just how different. Cautious, but curious, he slowly began to close the distance between them, squinting against the faint sunlight that managed to penetrate the ash clouds overhead.

Maybe his attention should've been fixed on the male's abnormal features, which were quite notable, but instead he was trying to figure out if he was alright.. and from a fair distance still, he didn't seem like he was in the best shape. "Excuse me?" Corvus called out, his voice much stronger than he expected - sometimes he didn't feel as though how he looked or sounded matched quite how he felt inside, but now wasn't the time to get lost in his angsty thoughts. His brow furrowed in worry as he took a few more long strides closer. "Hey, are you okay?" Even if this male was fine, it'd be nice to know that he wasn't a threat.. or if he was, so he could report to Theory and Shaye about it.
