When Áki spoke of where he’d been staying around, it brought to Nagendra’s attention the fact that he had little clue where he was. He knew vaguely which direction to head to get home (granted it was far, far away), but he hadn’t been paying much attention aside from that. Although he had no plans of returning home any time soon, he still hoped that he wouldn’t get lost.

Áki would then speak of his home, or lack thereof, and Nagendra’s sideways smile remained. ”The very same,” he said with faint cheer at the common ground, ”I left my home to explore, and here I am. I’ve only been here a few weeks… I want to see what the packs are like around here though; even if for a little while, some consistent company would be nice.” He hadn’t quite gotten around to it though – be it from hesitation for the unknown, or for the simple fact that he’d been so caught up in the scenery.
