While the rest of the Pirates wasted time trying to come to a decision, Aresenn had decided to break away from the lot of them in the following days to do a little sight-seeing for himself. Come to find out, the pack that he had suggested for their next raid was one they had already raided in the past … but that was before he had been born. It was called the Hallows, and he was pretty eager to make himself acquainted. And while he would be careful not to cross any boundaries while he was alone, he was certain that simply looking couldn’t hurt anyone.
It was a fairly quick journey, as ‘Castle Town’ lay just beyond the land bridge in Auster. The further south he went, the more he noticed the drop in temperature. However, being a coastal pack, the ocean did a pretty good job of keeping everything regulated as far as he was concerned. The young Pirate skirted his way around the grove- sticking to the beach before cutting into the undergrowth as he began working his way inland. After he identified a scent marker, he did his absolute best to give it plenty of room- as he didn’t want to be accused of trespassing. His goal was to keep walking until the castle came into sight. Then, he would get as close as he safely could and see what he could find. Though, when the trees began to clear and open up into a plain … he hesitated. There was literally no cover except for the tall grass, and while he was certain he could cross the expanse fairly quickly. He was also sure that if anyone was watching, he’d be easily spotted by his starkly different coloring. Damn. He’d have to stick to the forest, which meant his trip wouldn’t be as direct as he would have hoped. Instead of coming to a decision, Aresenn chose to linger … trying to weigh the likelihood that someone would actually notice him. It wasn’t that he was lazy- he just didn’t know how long it would take for him to be missed. This was supposed to be an in-and-out excursion, after all.
