Relearning the Familiar

Ritsuka would listen to Qanik as she spoke, a sense of empathy filling the young male. He agreed with her. He had met quite a few other loners on his journey here, and more often than not they were seeking their own pack. It was a lonely existence, and sometimes, even when loners banded together, it still wasn't quite enough. He still felt quite empty, being in these lands. The pack territory was large, spreading across several different types of lands. Yet they hadn't even met any other packmates, apart from the alpha and ones who joined with them. The way the pack was running... was it not just like a loner life? Sure he understood the wanting and needing to better oneself but it was a pack in the end, and packs still did things together. A wolf could spar with himself... or learn new skills without the guidance of an older, more experienced wolf. A sigh would pass his lips, and he would give a nod.

"It's quite alright, Qanik. I honestly agree with you on it. There are far too many loners out there looking for the right home, often pushed away from larger packs because of their so called lower status." He didn't think it was odd at all that the female would think of other wolves. "We'll just have to be on the lookout, and if we come across any loners to make sure to ask if they'd like to come to Tortuga. Perhaps then we'll get some activity within the pack." The brute wore a deep frown. "I haven't either. I can smell a couple other scents but when it comes to actually trying to locate them, or coming across them, nothing turns up. It's like the pack is made up of ghosts or something." Ritsuka would flick his gaze back to the white femme. "Well at the very least there are three of us who seem to be active within Tortuga. I'm sure we can come up with something. Sparring practice, a hunt... just something to do together rather than remain separate all the time." Deciding for now to change the subject he would speak to Qanik. "Were you always a loner Qanik? Or did you come from a pack at one point?"
