It wasn't so much that Voltage wanted to take all the work, it was just that he held both responsibilities on the same scale. Picking a new land to claim was just as important as making sure the new family settled in, in Voltage's mind. And since Glacier was much closer to Anais, he would be able to help her much easier than Voltage. He knew there wasn't much time, with winter upon them they would have a very hard time finding food, and the thought of their spring journey looming over his head...the trek was a lot longer than it used to be, they would have to leave much earlier and if he wasn't positive his family would fair well with food and shelter, he couldn't rest well knowing he was leaving. It made much more sense to split the responsibilities down the middle so they could be done all the more quickly. Glacier answered his question, and Voltage was left to answer his own. With a gentle hum he thought about it, ears slipping back just slightly as he thought of the numbers, of the new mouth to feed and the apparent lack of winter fish to be able to eat. Sure, they could find something in their ocean, but it was never enough to feed all of them, and besides...he feared for Locha's health as the temperatures continued to dip. No, they needed a way to get more food. But he also couldn't say no and disallow Anais' family to come into their home as well. With her and Glacier's...unionizing it would be rude to forbid Anais' family, which by all definition had become Voltage's extended family. So he breathed out, smiling up at Glacier. "We'll make it work if it comes to it, brother." He said softly then, his detemination evident in his features and his eyes. They would make it work now that they had more mouths to feed...it would all work, even if he had to ask favors of his new alpha friends. It would work. "We need someone to lead the hunts, Glacier. Desperately..." He said softly before he sighed, shaking his head and pulling back his "sunny" disposition. They would be fine. "We should get started, anyways. I will call you soon? We have much more to discuss, but I wont be able to focus too much on other things without knowing this problem is solved."
