Alastor didn't show any signs of acknowledging Sera was up and moving beyond his initial greeting, eating quietly while he kept to himself and surveyed the snow-covered terrain outside. It was another cold day, to be sure, but at least it was clear for the most part. Some errant sun rays were even breaking through the heavy blanket of clouds in patches, bringing some liveliness back into the otherwise dead and dreary world. He heard Sera come collect some breakfast for herself and then she asked about the conditions outside. "Cold, but clear. Not a sign of anyone else nearby," he reported while he finished up his meal and set to licking his ebony paws clean. "Should make for easy traveling."
He had been waiting for her to prepare to leave when she asked him a question far too deep for their newfound acquaintanceship. Alastor gave no reaction beyond a flick backwards of an ear to show he had heard her. A frown curled his lips downward, away from the usual turn they always seemed to take. Ah, but it shouldn't have surprised him as much. He knew Sera was damaged goods, broken and battered by a life so cruel and unfair, of course she was going to be traumatized by something. But now she was looking to him for answers? Oh, if only she knew the truth... Alastor was far from having "come out all right". He was deranged, psychotic, calloused, violent... All things that were the antithesis of "all right".
"I don't know," he remarked in a terse, neutral response that gave away nothing of his own demons and sickness. Black eyes stared out at the world, but he was no longer seeing it. He was too lost in his own headspace now. "I'm still dealing with not being all right. I didn't get from A to B. I'm still somewhere in the middle." The big dire wolf rose to his paws with a stretch that caused a delightful series of pops from along his vertebrae, the wolf stretching his sleep-addled muscles back into action. He cast Sera a sideways glance from over his shoulder while he stepped back over to the elk carcass. "We should get this back before it spoils."
