Walk | Talk | Think

He was happy to be back, there was no denying it. While the Waterfall and...well, everything, did not look quite the way he remembered from his younger days, there was still a familiarity about the woods and snow that made Miksa feel comfortable even when he felt somewhat like a stranger otherwise. So long as he kept himself moving, thinking about the pack and whatever skill he wanted to pursue - which he still needed to figure out - everything was fine. He could hunt, he could patrol, he could contribute and pretend that he was a competent, capable wolf making a dent in his pack and pulling his weight.

But when it came down to it he was lonely. The prolonged absence of his family was beginning to eat away at him, and as they had distanced themselves from him he began to do the same to the pack. He might have tried to make an effort, but it was all done in the shadows, all on his own, without anyone there to slap on praise or approval or any sort of positive connotation with what he was doing. And that, in turn, only fed into his rising self-doubt, creating a cycle that continued to pull him down.

He was still trying to decide what to do with himself on this day, his steps aimless as he drew him nearer to the waterfall and unknowingly toward the one who was enjoying herself there beside it. It took crossing her scent for Miksa to realize that Odette was near, and drawing his gaze up to look at her he was somewhat startled. "Odette," he stated in mild surprise, stopping short and lowering his gaze meekly, "I didn't see you there."
