They were getting older, and Balthier had known for what seemed like forever what he wanted to do with his life. He wanted to be exactly like his dad. Strong and providing for his pack and family. But if it were up to him, he would change how his mother was absent. He couldn't wait for the day to have pups of his own though the feelings were a little hazy given the fact that he was so young. Honestly, he wouldn't mind some younger siblings or something. He liked meeting Poem's children even if it was a little awkward at first. He seemed to have a natural knack for it though.

Balthier's time away from his mother had been silently taking a toll on him. He wouldn't let his father or siblings know that he had slowly started to resent his mother while missing her so much, even if they made advances that they felt the same way. He was starting to look at Poem as a mother himself. But still, he would always love Aranea as his mother and do anything to make her happy, no matter how much he would slowly grow apart from her.

Allegro had promised to take them out together for a hunting trip. Even though prey had been getting more scarce as spring rolled in. He and Psalm had taken up hunting more than Solo, but Balthier and Solo shared the desire to learn fighting to protect their home. Their morals at least seemed to all be the same at least in Balthier's eyes. Allegro could only do the best he could on his own.

They moved only a short distance out from Abaven to the top of the falls outside the rapids of the pack. The falls themselves had gone frozen and it seemed the only water source in all of Boreas happened to be where they lived at the rapids. As they stopped to group and plan their tracking and hunting party, Balthier looked at his father with a logical statement, "Prey would want to come to the rapids since it's a large water source, right?" He wagged his tail lightly looking up to his father who he would soon grow to level ground with. Looking to Psalm he would give a smile before preparing himself to follow Allegro's lead.
