Arcturus certainly took after his parents when it came to working hard. Even though Valta certainly had more than its fair share of well skilled individuals, he still couldn't help but put in just as much work if not more than some of their other members. It was the kind of structure and motivation that he had when he was a pup and had lost sight of when they struck out on their own. He had rediscovered an appreciation for that kind of thing in the time that they had spent in Elysium, but now it was even more true since they were living in a pack that had a significant portion of their members that were related to him in one way or another–and of course because of his desire to protect and provide for Vanille. She was a capable woman all on her own, but it was just something that felt fulfilling to him to be able to do these things for her.
Still, when Vanille insisted on taking a break and making time to take a short trip away from the pack he couldn't say no. They didn't get a ton of time together between their respective tasks besides when they both came back to their den at night so the opportunity to spend some real quality time with Vanille was more than enough to pull him away for a while. He helped her gather some wood along the way, carrying some bigger pieces that wouldn't fit in the bag she bought, and once they reached the scenic view of the cliffs he helped to get their fire going. The weather was brisk and a bit chilly, but once the fire was going it would be plenty warm enough. Settling down onto the soft grasses, Arcturus laid with Vanille tucked into his side and smiled as her paw came to curl around his. Being with her had become such a normal part of his life now that he couldn't imagine going a day without her anymore. Curling around her much smaller frame a bit more, Arc dipped his head to nuzzle affectionately between her ears. "Thank you for making me do this," he said with a little chuckle. She always seemed to have a way of knowing what he needed before he knew it himself.
