She had been well. That was a relief to the man, a little sad that he had left behind a friend within in Regium. But sometimes you had to make a sacrifice. It wasn't as if she had been in danger, being tortured and such. No... she had a place there. A respectable rank. But him? He had walked out on Roman with the two fae's he had joined with. Perhaps she truly felt she had been right, but to lead a pack to war over such a crazed idea... Suka still had a bit of mixed feelings about leaving. But he knew he wouldn't go back under Roman's command. No way, no how.

Ritsuka would give a small flick of one ear as she turned the question around on him, asking if he had found another pack or not as well. "For a little while I was in a dark place... such a dark place. But luckily my sister and I reunited. Since then I've been doing much better. I'm coming back around to being who I was before... and yet..." He frowned, wanting to phrase the next part gently so he didn't offend her. "I thought to join Bevroren with my sister, Haruka... however... I'm afraid Roman's scent was caught in the air and..." Ritsuka took a small breath.

"...I thought it better to stay here and wait to see what Haruka wanted to do. We've been close since we are young... and I know she left Regium far before I did." Ritsuka would give a small shrug. "Sometimes we end up taking a different paths, despite starting on the same road. I'm not really too bothered about it. It's part of life and growing up." His sea green eyes would soften.

"The storm doesn't look like it's going to let up anytime soon. If you don't mind sharing a cave for a little while I can offer somewhere dry to wait for it to pass. This isn't really a good season to stay wet in."
