Some homecoming this was...

Morendo had been a bit more hesitant to leave their family in order to scout ahead through Auster and Boreas as they all made their plans to return to their home land, a bit concerned about leaving his mother to make the trip without him despite the other more than capable fighters she would be with, but when she insisted and mentioned that Revenant would be going with him he eventually agreed. In the end he would always follow his mother's wishes so he knew he'd be going to Boreas as soon as she asked even with his initial concerns... but at least it was Revenant he was sent off with. Out of all of his brothers he was the one he'd rather be stuck alone with if for no other reason than he would have someone attractive to look at for all of these hours of travel. It did make him wonder if his mother had paired them up like this on purpose, but he had never said specifically who he was interested in and he doubted that his sweet mother would purposefully encourage those kinds of interests.

The trip to Boreas was fairly uneventful, even as they found themselves among the ice and snow of the wintery land, but as they approached the spot where they had been told they would be able to find their aunt's pack it was noticeably barren. A frown crossed his lips as Revenant echoed his thoughts. After such a trip he had been looking forward to finding some warmth and a meal, but clearly those things were not going to just be handed to them today. It was getting too late into the day to just keep looking for their relatives or figure out where they had gone, as his brother pointed out when he mentioned staying here tonight and finding shelter and a fire. Morendo nodded, replying, "Well, at least there's plenty of trees around for wood. You start looking for shelter, I'll take the dogs and start gathering firewood." He whistled for Mezzo and Forte, the black and cream mastiffs stepping out of the trees to join him as he began to walk around and pick up fallen branches until he had enough to make a fire and start making his way back to wherever Revenant decided they should settle for the night.
