Tsuga had more or less given up hope of ever finding Galena again. He wouldn't admit to himself that the younger wolf may very well have perished, that was not in the cards for his mental health, and besides he felt as if the spirits of the forest somehow would have let him know. All that being said, he was starting to doubt if he'd ever come across her again either. The world was an endlessly large place, and his legs could only carry him so fast for so long, and spirits help him if he was being carried in the wrong direction.

So maybe that's why he ended up back here, near where it began. As a last ditch effort, or maybe just to seal his peace. The thought occurred to him to build a shrine here, to help guide the lost and wandering souls that might also cross these trails, and he set about doing exactly that.

He had scoped out a good area and was on task moving some nicely sized stones where he wanted them when he noticed another wolf nearby. Female and near his age as best as he could tell, staring up at the towering treetops. He quirked his head... what on earth could have captured her attention? He looked up himself, half expecting to see a bear or wildcat treed there, or even just an interesting bird. But... well. He didn't see anything at all, actually. Midway through rolling his latest stone he called out, "Miss? Are you alright?" He was not a healer, and had no business treating apoplexy but he supposed something was better than nothing. Probably. Hopefully.
