Take a piece of you with me

Having recently left Winterfell, Kai wasn't fond of staying nearby for long. The north was a place he'd long-since regarded as his home, though he wondered if perhaps he returned he might pick the opposite side of the continent to roam a bit more freely. There were enough trees and mountains for everyone, anyway; why confine himself near Winterfell's lands? The thought nearly earned a scoff as he made his way through the forest, intent on finding his way further south as soon as he possibly could. Either way, he was damn happy in his newfound freedom, though a part of him couldn't quite let go of the rage that had slowly simmered below the surface. Being there had changed him, even if he didn't fully recognize it yet - he no longer trusted the way his younger self once had. Independence and looking out for himself had been ingrained in him, but he knew even more now what his father had meant when he'd taught him that he himself was the only one he'd ever be able to trust. Even the trust and guidance of parents, or of children, was never ensured, though when it came to his own blood family he knew he didn't have to worry.
But the rest of the world? Fuck 'em all. Unless they served a purpose in his life, whether it be temporary amusement or companionship or something else entirely, he just didn't need them. He'd been betrayed more than once, in different ways, and it wasn't surprising that such betrayal hardened his heart slightly. The most recent raid against some pack whose name he couldn't even recall had been a damn good outlet, and he'd come out victorious. And now here he was, strolling through the woods, when he heard the sound of someone looking to spar. Training to fight was hardly something he'd ever done, but he was determined to kick-start some adrenaline. He didn't give a shit about what a fight taught him, just how it felt in the moment, and kicking someone's ass sounded fantastic. This was a new life, after all, so why not start it off right? Picking up his pace, he only slowed when the yearling who he assumed called came into view. He was unusual-looking, at least compared to most wolves he'd met, but he was far too young.. oh well, he could fight him if nothing else. "Kid, are you sure you're old enough to be calling to fight strangers?" Kai asked, letting out a loud laugh as he strode closer to him, his tone nothing but good-spirited.
