Leaving Valhalla had been surprisingly bitter sweet. He was eager to get back out into the world and finish the trip to find his siblings again, but the last few weeks had reminded him of what living with that side of his family was like. They were all so friendly and welcoming and kind - almost to a point that Casso just couldn't quite comprehend. The solitude and quiet that he found when he went back out into the wilds toward the north were welcome and freeing and it began to make him wonder if he wanted to join a pack at all. He knew that a couple more weeks of this would probably change his mind, but after spending so much time with his overly worried aunt made him savor this. He loved his family, but he liked the open spaces as well.
His path to Winterfell wasn't as direct and firm as it probably should have been, but the sheer cliffs and rocky mountain sides drew him in like a moth to a flame. Growing up in the mountains had made him a bit more confident than most as he crossed the uneven terrain. His large paws curved and gripped with careful, easy steps. Occasionally the rock would crumble a bit under his weight, but he easily shifted his stance to compensate and redistribute it to more stable ground. The sound of crashing water filled his ears as he got closer and closer to a water fall, the stream of crashing water soon coming into view. The slight breeze coming off the cold water and drifting down the mountain ruffled his coat, feeling the chill more clearly in the exposed parts of his skin where his scars kept the fur from growing. He knew a good portion of wolves wouldn't agree with him, but he quite liked winter and the chill it brought. Only time would tell if he still thought that after spending a winter in the north, but the cold air helped him focus.
His dual-toned eyes shifted away from the water when a wolf's scent caught his attention, his gaze falling on a female that was covered in swatches of gray and deep russet hues that seemed to be examining the falls in the same way he was. He paused for a moment, considering whether or not he was interested in having company or not. After spending so much time around wolves in a compacted amount of time part of him said no, but there was something different about meeting a stranger for a short amount of time compared to living among them. With a rare flash of a desire to be social hitting him, he padded forward so that he could stand along side the young woman, leaving a comfortable distance between them as he looked back up at the falls. "That's quite a drop, hm?" he commented, his tone a calm, deep rumble as he left his attention on the scenery.
