It was not everyday he found himself outside of Spirane and if he did it was never far, always close by just in case. But today, he has traveled further; no longer can he see the peaks of the mountains dancing in and out of the clouds, just endless skies that seemed to be graying at the approach of winter. The slight taste of fear at putting so much distance between him and Spirane is there, furrowing under his flesh with each step that takes him further and further away but this trip had purpose, a meaning and so he had to make due with the discomfort he felt at leaving for a short time, leaving her.
With winter at hand, the princes and princess would soon be joining in on the hunts and what better way than to help them prepare than with practice. His sole reason for leaving was hopefully to obtain one of those pesky prairie dogs before they denned in for winter. It would prove a task for the little ones and he cannot deny the amusement at watching them pounce about trying to catch it. It was one lesson he had been looking forward to. Hence why he had left, for they could not be found among the mountains. As feet bring him over the fields the distant howl that can be heard causes him to pause, orange eyes seeking the distance. It was one of welcome, one of comfort, one for company. Briefly does he glance back at the path he was taking before turning slightly to investigate the call.
The closer he gets the more wolves he see are gathered, it is the first time he had seen so many together without being within the confines of a pack and his curiosity is burning now, as scarred face turns and allows eyes to glance at all of them. So many scents filtering in, more male than female. He lingers at the edge, not fully entering their cluster but still there. Observing all that meets his eye. There would be no harm in watching for a few moments before returning to his task, then he would go home. To them, to her. As a heavy exhale is released and orange eyes blink at the group, as more and more wolves seemed to appear.
