His time in Asteraia had been rough and left him bitter. Finally he slipped away, but to what end? It took all winter and then some before he found his moment to escape and run off had happened and he had been on guard ever since. Tora had gone back to where he and his father had last stayed but the place was abandoned, no one had been there in many months. Toraburu didn’t even know where to start looking for him… if anywhere. It wasn’t the first time the boy had slipped away from his ailing father but that might have been the last. Mugen was already on his last legs when he was stolen away. Tora wondered how it had gone. If he had left going after him and seeing if he could rescue him only to have died in the snow along the way or what… His dad was gone… His mom was gone and he was alone. He thought that was what he always wanted. He was so sick of his Dad but he didn’t want him to die. Not like that.

He was looking rough though, a kid that was a loner was bound too after all. Sure his dad taught him to hunt, but he was only just getting to full grown and his missing tooth and half blind face wasn’t exactly helping matters. He had an issue grabbing prey sometimes then being half blind was no help now and then. Really, Tora was just a broken mess of a creature. He stopped when he heard a commotion though, a growl and a yelp. Looking around Tora spotted the fox as it limped away quickly past him, it’s day wasn’t about to get better. Injured and a desperate hungry wolf not far away he lunged forward grabbing the fox by the back of the neck and pinning it to the ground just as it had with the pup. Only he wasn’t as innocent as it screeched and he jerked his head to the side, breaking its neck and effectively putting it out of its existence. Food was all he could think of, but what was the thing wrestling with? He didn’t want any competition or any trouble…

Walking swiftly forward he spotted the downtrodden looking girl smelling like Diveen and heading off that way too. He still stood a fair bit away from her, but he thought there was something familiar smelling and looking about her, but he couldn’t tell what. Of course he wouldn’t know that he had two little sisters, if he did he wasn’t likely to be happy about it. ”What are you doing out here, runt?” He asked his mismatched teal gaze narrowed on her. ”Lucky that fox nearby didn’t eat you and snuff out the future competition.” Cause it could have, would have maybe even. She would have made a somewhat of a good target and offered its young one less wolf to fight against later for its own cubs. Still something was bothering him about this kid, and he didn’t like it one damn bit.
