He had wandered towards the lake for two reasons: to again, see the world outside of Diveen, and to find a certain root growing by the lakeside. Viserys had become antsy as of late, and meditation had become difficult as his thoughts ended up constantly wandering towards his sister and her imprint. As the original surprise, anger, and fear had faded it was hard for him to come to terms with how he had treated Emil. The pale boy knew that that just wasn't him. It was hard to separate the feelings that he knew to be true from the ones simply manifested by his fear of abandonment, and it was harder still not to act on the more primal feelings that had come to a head with recent events.
Viserys did not wish to dwell on these thoughts for much longer though, and concentrated his energy mostly on trying to find the burdock that he knew grew near the waterside. The big leaves should be easy to find amongst the grass. Eyes on the ground, he didn't notice the wanderer until he was almost upon him, and he cleared his throat awkwardly, prepared to apologize. "I am sorry, I didn't even notice you there." Viserys said, stopping short with a half-smile.
The wolf didn't smell like any of the lands of Moladion, he smelled like Isolde had when she returned from her wanderings. It was easy to wonder what was beyond the lands that he had called home for his entire life. Viserys was interested in the male he had stumbled upon, it was rare that he met those who had traveled outside of his homelands and they certainly would have many stories to tell. "My name is Viserys. I am looking for burdock. Have you seen any?" He asked with a tilt of his head, teal eyes twinkling. It was somewhat of a joke, given that not many wolves knew anything about herbs, but he wouldn't be adverse to a real answer.
"I can tell that you are not from here. Where do you come from?" Perhaps the question was a bit forward, but Viserys was nothing if not curious, and so he had no problem asking this of the star-marked wolf. Besides, it was nice to find a friendly soul in a strange place.
