Do you want to raise up?

Despite his initial difficulty settling into a routine and the life of living in a pack after spending much of his youth out in the wilds with his sister and mother, over the last couple of years he had grown to enjoy it and began to look forward to things like his regular patrols and hunting trips. The structure of it all gave him some stability that he realized he had been missing and it gave him more peace of mind knowing that his family and Vanille had somewhere safe to live–mainly Vanille, if he was being honest with himself. He knew that Tira and his mother could more than handle themselves in a fight despite the fact that they were a fraction of the size of many other wolves, but Vanille was a bit more on the soft side of things. It was something that he loved about her, but that didn't stop him from worrying any less.

He was just finishing up dressing and processing his kill from earlier in the morning when his uncle's howl rang out across the pack's territory. It took him a second to realize he was the one being summoned and he glanced up from his work with a surprised blink. He wasn't sure why Kotori was calling for him, but he quickly wiped the blood from his paws and got up to go meet him quickly all the same. He found his uncle near the rapids a few moments later and he offered him a grin as he approached. "Hey, Uncle. You called for me?" he asked curiously, wondering what this was about.
