Somebodys watching me~

Journeying back home to Auster after visiting Armada and Heidinn, Akito was ready to be back home. Some may believe that he was too young to be wandering alone, but his mother and other siblings had already headed back. He was supposed to be traveling back with his brother, Erik, but unsurprisingly, Erik had wandered off without him. That much didn't make him so mad as the fact that he had gotten turned around and now felt stuck in this creepy forest. Fog swirled around him, pressing against him, threatening to basically blind him. Aggravating as it was, he was glad he at least had his companions.

The occasional caw from his raven above told him that he was at least still heading south and his akita stayed faithfully by his side. Determined to make the trek home as quickly as possible, Akito continued to push through the mud and dirt. Nearly tripping on roots and turning into trees along the way, he soon got frustrated until he heard a noise. Predator? Stranger? Prey? Both ears perk as his grey eyes turn either way to hopefully get a look. Nothing yet, but the sound of another set of paws was undeniable. His fur raises along his spine as he takes a step back. Glancing at his akita, she too looks up at him with her fur on end.

Ducking behind a tree, he waits until the stranger passes by. From a few feet away, he can see that it is another wolf. Akito nearly sighs in relief before removing himself from his hiding spot and approaching. Cowardly was something the pup was not. "Sir, excuse me," his accented tones travel through the fog as he closes the gap between them. "Can you point me to Auster?" Akito asks politely, his fur finally settling and tail swishing gently behind him.
