Solitaire had started the day with plant collecting for his healing skills, bringing his log around to fill the hollow parts of it with said plants and such. It was half full when he caught sight of a groundhog ambling along. He had gone for it, interested in eating the snack-creature. As it lay moribund, Solitaire noticed a certain scent in the breeze. It took him a moment to stash away his log of plants and herbs, then he went back to the groundhog and picked up the now still form of the creature. Yes, he was still hungry, but the scent he had picked up was one he did not want to fade before he was able to follow it. Smelled like that female from before.

She had gone so quickly the day they'd met, and Solitaire hadn't gotten to say very much to her. He'd given his name but never heard hers, nor had he seen her again after that. Like she had just vanished into thin air. Every now and then he'd look, but after time, Solitaire had busied himself with tasks from the pack. He had told himself that if she wanted to be found, then he would eventually find her, and that was that. Which was why, when he caught the trail of her scent, Solitaire wasn't pausing to eat before he followed it to see where it led. Every now and then he felt the pull, and today was one of those days. So with the groundhog in his jaws, he went.

Solitaire did not scurry, but he did trot into sight and look up at her with a curious expression. He set down the groundhog and peered at the female again. "If you come down, I'll share this groundhog with you, if you want." He called to her, wondering if she would simply stay up there instead. Though he really should ask her of her name, but first things was first, and that was seeing if she even wanted the company. She had been gone and out of sight this whole time, so perhaps she did not want anything more to do with him. That thought didn't feel good, but.. Solitaire didn't understand why he was compelled to feel these things in the first place.
