When he had arrived finally at the castle, he had choked on the scents. Borders had locked up around his previous home, he remembered sharing so many nights with the pups as he raised them. Taking care of his brood as Seven hunted and his beloved Katir would curl up at his side. A pang of grief struck him unlike he would have ever thought. Sirius was giving him time to mourn on his own, to become indipendant and grow should he want to make his own pack. Yet with what structure now? Borias mumbled to himself he looked strange pacing the borders of course but he was a gentleman not a trouble maker.

"Maybe they'll let me visit my den one last time." though he was sure it was probably in use by now. There was however a certain object he wanted here. It was buried in the back garden.... and he had regretted leaving it. Borias raised his voice in a howl, in the back of his mind he certainly hoped the alpha or whoever answered his call was not a cruel one. He simply wanted his trinket.

This was the first outside visitor that had been received since their move. As the howl rang out, Resin found herself to be a bit intrigued. Most wolves were in Boreas, yet here was one calling for entry. It was a good thing that the Aegis was on patrol. She wasn't terribly far from where the call was made. The giantess picked up the pace, her thick legs pumping as she moved towards the border. In time, she came upon an earthen man, smaller than she. Obsidian ears flicked forward as the massive woman slowed to a halt. Her lone, golden eye stared down upon the brute covered in shades of brown. "I am Resin, Aegis of The Hallows. What do you require?" The woman was always stoic and business-like. Today would be no different. "Speech"

The giantress seemed oddly familiar to him, Borias didn't show any fear. Just like with Sirius he did not fear giants. A wolf as tiny as a pup could cause more damage in skill form. The male wasn't here to cause problems though and he reminded himself of that. Resin seemed to be a respectful alpha so far Borias dipped his head in respect looking to her to match the alpha's gaze. "Greetings Resin, my name is Borias." she asked what he required and his tail twitched uncomfortably suddenly. How rude was it of him to demand this? It was not as if he held any power, not yet, and that fact somehow irritated him. It centered down in his belly, this strange feeling of realization.

"Me and my group used to live in this castle." The male began glancing beyond the scent marker. His attention then returned to the alpha. "My father's remains lay in the gardens of this place, I would like to collect his skull." Borias suddenly remembered how he had been raised. What lay ahead of him, something about it made this all that more important. "He is the last of what remains of my family and I'd like to take a piece of him back with me." would the alpha agree to his request?

Though the man seemed a little nervous, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with him. Yet. It seemed as though he had lived in this castle once upon a time. Was he here to contest her rule? The ash and onyx woman tilted her head slightly, the brow over her missing eye raising as she waited for him to finish. He was here... for a skull. Not just any skull, but the skull of his father. Had any other wolf intercepted the brute, they might have shut him down; seen the request as odd and unnatural. Resin was of a different mindset. Her upbringing was more tribal than most. She understood the importance of blood, flesh and bone. He was asking for permission to collect what remained of his father. Well, she couldn't deny that. "Follow me," she instructed. Though he would know the way, every stranger needed an escort. With the Aegis at his side, none would contest his presence within The Hallows. Never very talkative, the older wolf moved along in silence. If the man had more to say, she would converse. If not, they would make the journey quietly. "Speech"

Borias was grateful following the alpha while staying only a few paces behind. The giantress was truely a beauty to behold, from her demenor to how she spoke he could tell she was a respected alpha. "How long have you and your pack claimed these lands?" It couldn't have been that far off from when he joined the Armada. Though it was simply curiosity driving him. Borias was not interested in revenge, land could be claimed with those who had the power behind it. He had nothing, packs and groups had rights to house and feed themselves and he no longer even carried a group with him.

Borias' mind flashed into if he wanted to pry into what kind of pack this was. Sirius had even said himself he needed to spread and grow. Experience. It's something that many others had and he did not, other than what his tiny bubble provided when he was younger. The wolf could see the sides of the castle already reminding him how foreign this all so felt. Within his sights was the garden and the image of upturned earth popped into his head. His father had rested near the center a few years previous, of course it was Borias who killed him but back then it was for different reasons. If Katir was here... would he have had pups of his own? Oh well.

The pair walked together towards the castle. The large structure soon loomed overhead. Rather than cut through the castle, Resin led the man around the side. They would take the long way to get where he needed to go. She kept her strides short and her pace leisurely so the smaller legs of the brute wouldn't have to work so hard. His voice brought one black ear swiveling to catch his words. "A short time. We've recently left the Hot Springs in Auster." Certain events had instigated the move, but in a way she was glad for it. She would rather that the girl, Rue, was still alive, but her death had prompted their relocation. The whole pack seemed to be happier here. There was more space, less chance of running into other packs, less chance of predators being pushed into their territory. The castle had quickly become home. Coming around the back of the castle to the overgrown extensive gardens, the woman motioned for the man to move forward. He would know where the bones in question were and so he would have to lead the way. "Speech"
