Beauregard had taken a walk, away from the pack, as the stars showed high above the land he walked in. He had gone back to where he had met Garm, perhaps seeking answers, a sign. Things in Norad were quieter than he had hoped… and he worried for his members, particularly the older wolves. Had he gathered enough herbs after their loss to help Paradise? A soft sigh left his lips. The consideration that maybe Norad really wasn’t to be, to stand beyond the year as he had hoped. Maybe they shouldn’t have left Ethne… and maybe he was never meant to lead. The consideration hurt a bit. He was proud of his wolves, but… were they capable of surviving as a pack? To withstand the challenges that came their way? Or would they have to rely on their allies to get by? Troubled, the man came to a stop beside one of the stones, his blue gaze flicking to look up at the glowing runes. "Speech," 'Thought.'

Back and forth between Auster and Boreas, Saga was on her way back home after having done some practice in Boreas' battlefield. She was feeling sore from all the spars, but she still had the energy to make it home and maybe take a nice, long nap. Her little companion had gone ahead of her, which was fine by her because it left her time to replay the spars in her mind. Thinking about where she could improve. How the wolves fought. She had met some interesting individuals, and it put new perspectives in her head. No two wolves were the same, though she should've known that considering her own family. Each one had their unique differences, and she didn't know that that had extended beyond her siblings and her mother. Engrossed in her thoughts, she looked up to find she had wandered into the runestones. Not somewhere she had been before, but the way they glowed beneath the moonlight enthralled her. She approached a stone, standing up to place a paw upon the cold, smooth stone. She wasn't aware someone else was there until she caught a glimpse behind the stone. Peeking around it, she vaguely recognized the wolf there, but she couldn't quite recall who he was. "Hello, I'm not disturbing you, am I?" "Saga"
