It had been difficult to pull himself out of the darkness that had lingered on his mind after finding Nolan. He couldn't stop thinking about the heart wrenching response he had gotten from his aunt when he delivered the news and it continued to haunt him even all these weeks later. He had done his best to push those thoughts aside, mostly for Yurei's benefit, but in the moments like this where he was on his own taking care of his usually daily tasks or hunting it was even more difficult to keep his mind from wandering to the images of his cousin's broken body and his aunt's heart broken response. He was making his way back from the edge of the Sparse Pines with a pair of arctic hares dangling from his jaws. He knew he needed to be hunting larger game for the pack as they got closer to winter in order to keep their store of food well supplied, but today the most he could muster from himself was a couple of hares for himself and Yurei. His mismatched eyes drifted across the wide spaced trees as he walked through he forest on his way back to the ship that he and his mate called home, eventually spotting Winter who seemed to be moving toward him. It was enough to make him pause and lift his head a bit to look toward his cousin. She wasn't someone he had actually spoken to as of yet and truly he had been a bit surprised by the announcement his uncle had made at the last pack meeting about her training to take his place. She seemed so young still, but it certainly wasn't his place to make that choice and it wasn't like Acere was completely out of the picture as of yet. He placed the hares on the ground so that he could properly greet the Alphess, giving her a polite dip of his head. His expression was calm and smooth with just a hint of a smile on his lips. "Hello, Winter. To what do I owe the pleasure?" |
