He had been too far away to hear the bark, but the breeze carried his scent to him. Ears raised to an alert position, his head tilting slightly. He had not seen Quelt since he left to create his own pack, and he still was saddened by the fact that he had left. Perhaps a good talk with his old friend would to well to raise his own spirits higher. He had no idea that the older man had the exact same idea. Picking up his pace to a trot it wasn't long before he saw Quelt standing on a rise, and he didn't look like himself at all. Bass had to slow to take it all in, the slate blue man was different indeed. Being an alpha had made him stand taller, but his features looked rather sullen. The Azat frowned, closing the gap between them and pressing his nose to the males shoulder. "Hello dear Quelt, it has been too long." He noted, a smile pressed on his lips as he pulled back to search his face. "What troubles you?" He asked, getting straight to business. He could tell that he was in need of a shoulder to lean on, and Bass had promised that he would always be there for him.
