He didn't often leave the Covari territory these days, despite his past convictions of adventures and freedom. In truth, he felt utterly comfortable within Covari lands as he had not anywhere else. However as temporary Alpha recovering from illness he was determined to constantly push himself, to stretch harder, to run further until his body belonged to him once more. Today he decided to run, to run until the borders of Covari where behind him and the rogue lands where beneath his feet. Ran until he had swallowed even these beneath his long strides and would have continued to run yet if an achingly familiar scent hadn't touched his senses.

He remembered the rage he had felt, the need to tear and taste blood in the knowledge that any had dare harm his kin. He looked Little Bird over now as he approached, his eyes touching over her familiar form and he could find no obvious signs of abuse.
