Look Good For You

Ciná was having trouble getting his mind to settle, but that was nothing new these days. Over the last week or so since the run in with his father it had been hard to not get caught up in his own thoughts—whether that was about Ignis, the whole situation, his past, the future... It didn't really seem to matter. His brain would find something to think about and spiral around when he was alone regardless. It made him hate being alone which was a new development for him after being mostly independent for the majority of his life, but he didn't exactly have a solution for that either. He didn't want to make himself look clingy or desperate to anyone in the pack so he didn't go looking for them and as much as he'd want to see Satira again he didn't know exactly where to find her—nor did he want to come off as clingy to her either. So instead he found himself wandering around the Aspen Dam and Cedar Falls since it at least seemed to help if he kept himself moving and busy. If he was tired when he went to bed it was at least a little easier to get some sleep.

As the evening was starting to grow late, he was considering heading back so he could get one of the healers to change out the bandages on his tail before he went to attempt some sleep, but before he could do any of that he heard a surprising howl from the borders. He stopped and listened for a second, his golden gaze blinking with surprise at the sound that was directed at him of all wolves. It took him a second, but he recognized the voice and after a moment of hesitation he began to make his way toward the border to meet her. He was honestly shocked that she'd come seeking him out specifically like this and had kind of assumed that they had only hung out the way they had because of the fact that they had accidentally bumped into each other a few weeks ago. If it wasn't for the injury toward the base of his tail he probably wouldn't have hesitated to go and meet up with her, but he didn't necessarily want to have to explain how it had happened to her. Explaining how his psychotic father had attacked him and tried to rip off his tail wasn't exactly a fun point of conversation.

Still, he reached the border closest to the nearby canyon quickly enough and spotted Onyx waiting there for him. Despite his original reservations about seeing her again, he was actually pretty happy to have the company and to see her again so as he walked over to meet her a little grin tugged at his lips. "Not going to lie, I'm kind of shocked you're still in Auster. I figured the heat would have gotten to you by now," he commented with a soft chuckle as he reached her.
