Here's To A New Beginning

Head lowered to the ground as he sniffed at the newer borders, but he had no idea really who they belonged to. Whoever it was had only settled here recently, and judging from the bleating of sheep in the distance, he could only wonder and speculate if it was a pack that raised sheep for a purpose. That had drawn his curiosity a little from the fog in his head, but not quite enough. Ears perked and he lifted his head at the sound of an unfamiliar voice, tired gaze finding a wolf that wore the same colors he did. Corbie...alpha of Avalon...why did that sound like it was peaceful? Maybe he really was tired or going senile in his aging mind. Whatever the case, he started to focus a bit better when she asked him if he was alright.

Did he really seem that bad that a stranger had noticed? "I..." His voice cracked from having not been used for some time. He had been a loner most of his life. Joining packs run by his family only to be let down time and time again. Asides from Finan, Cloud had decided it was best to keep his distance from others. Why would he put the effort into forming relationships when they always ended up abandoning him? He supposed his brother abandoning him for the second time was still a sore spot in his heart...

"I'm fine, I think." He wasn't sure. "Cloudburst. Cloud for short...sorry, I must've just gotten distracted. It happens sometimes," It could've been worse, right? He could've been in one of his blackouts and gotten into some real trouble and not even remembered until it passed. "Avalon...I've not heard of it before...though it's clear it's a newer pack...what is its purpose?" He was straight to it. It wasn't like he was getting any younger. Indeed, he was just...tired.
