I'm not tired, I'm not lonely

After speaking with the red-marked woman, he knew he should have gone straight for Winterfell. The idea of seeing his siblings again was something that he was excited for and eager to make a reality, but as he left the falls and neared the mile-high woods, his paws began to deviate from their intended path and he began to wander toward the sea. The closer he got to his uncle's pack, the more he seemed to second guess his decision. He told himself it was only because it had gotten later than he had intended or maybe he just wanted to get to know the north better if he was going to be living here. It all seemed like thinly veiled excuses, but he couldn't quite figure out what the real reason was. At this rate, another days time wasn't going to make the biggest difference for when he arrived at the pack's borders. His plan had already been delayed by a few weeks with the unexpected injury he had received from the pair of coyotes near Valhalla's lands. What would one more day be in comparison to that?

As he neared the shore, his ears perked as he listened to the sound of paws running against the sand, causing the distinct, muffled and shifting thud as they ran. Curious, Casso crept closer, keeping to the shadows and peeking around the corner of a pillar of rock that marked the beginning of the beach. His vibrant eyes landed on a tan and brown male, his coat carrying an interestingly indistinct, speckled pattern. It was hard to tell right away with how he was currently running, but Casso thought he might have seen some dashes of orange hues in the male's coat as well. He raised an eye brow at the wolf as he watched him race from palm to palm, seemingly having the time of his life alone on this northern shore. It made him want to turn around and leave the man be since he was seemingly so happy racing and leaping around the dark sands, but he was also so curious about what had made him this way that it kept him standing there for a bit longer. He couldn't remember a single time in his life when he had ever been as carefree as this and it made him envious.

He waited until the stranger had turned to run back down the length of the beach away from where he was standing before trotting out onto the beach, focusing his gaze on the ocean that stretched out under the darkening sky. He pretended that he hadn't previously seen the male and his eyes looked toward him with surprise, as if the sound of him running had freshly alerted the darker man that he wasn't alone. Casso offered the male a friendly grin when his dual toned gaze met the green eyes of the other wolf, pausing his steps near one of the sparsely placed palm trees. "You seem to be having a great time out here! What's all the fuss about?"
