Just out our front door

Following Ashen's expansion into the Rio Grande territory, Maverick had been helping to lead a few roving patrols to their new land, keeping their scent markers fresh to establish dominion over the land. However, not long after their claim had been established, an early onset fall had spread over some of the lands seemingly overnight. That, coupled with the appearance of the peculiar familiars and strange shrines to deities he'd never seen before, Maverick was more than a little cautious and curious about the changes in the world. Patrols had ramped up, and while out on one with Remus, the two males encountered a path through the autumnal woods alongside the flowing river that was being tended to by some of those animal familiars. With a shrug of his shoulders and some encouraging from the Armada boy, Mav set off down the path with his companion. Teal eyes took in the strangeness of the autumn forest, the shifting colors of the leaves in the trees that ever so delicately fell from their branches with pirouettes in the air before coming to rest on the grass. "A bit, yeah," he agreed with a nod. "I mean, I've seen lands where fall does come early, but never quite like this. This is... super early for the leaves to be falling."
