The darkly colored man readily agreed to spending time with his uncle. He had honestly thought it would be more difficult to get used to being around other wolves more often, but something about being around his family made the transition much easier. Even though it had been difficult to admit to his uncle what he had been going through in the end he was glad because it made these moments when they were alone together that much easier. He didn't feel that constant need to keep up any sort of facade around his uncle and for at least a moment he could fully relax. As they moved through the tall, twisting trees of the Mile-High Woods, he carried a small smile on his lips while he watched the pair of foxes that Acere kept with him run ahead of them. They seemed so incredibly energetic and it was quite amusing to observe them. His ears perked forward to listen when one of them spoke of hearing the buzz of a bee hive up ahead and his head tipped slightly to the side with curiosity. His dual toned gaze turned to look at his uncle when he questioned whether he had experienced honey before. He thought for a moment before nodding and replying, "A long time ago. I'm pretty sure mother used it to help me take some herbs when I was a pup." He was used to the bitter taste of the plants and treatments these days, but back then was another story. He never tried to cause her any issues when she was trying to give him medications of some kind, but she still tried to make it a little more pleasant when she could. He turned his attention back to where the foxes had disappeared before giving a small nod with his head. "We should go see if they're on to something... It would probably be worth harvesting if we can find a safe way to do so," he added, unknowingly echoing his uncle's thoughts. He padded forward, following Lumi and Finn's lead. Sure enough, as they made their way through the woods a short ways, he began to pick up on the distinctive hum of a bee hive as well and he began to scan the trees as he tried to follow the sound.
