Titan had been getting along well enough with the family pack in Cut Rock River. He wouldn't say that he was friends with any of them except maybe Maksim. Titan liked to think that the taller alpha male was a friend. Worry for his mother and his pack mates continued to prick a the youngsters heart though. He wanted to be back home in the darkened cave watching over the adults as they came and went.

Perhaps because of his slow integration into Cut Rock River Titan was often found near their borders sniffing around the area for any sign of his own family. That was exactly what he was doing when the sound of Maksim's voice calling Titan's name caught the young Thorben's ears. Turning his head towards the direction of the howl and noticing that it sounded rather far off Titan let loose one of his own bark-like howls saying he was on his way. Maksim had been patrolling the border opposite to Titan's location. Now it would take the shadowy boy some time to get to the River leaders territory.

He ran plowing through the shallow snow and kicking up the glittering white all around him. Titan was still growing. Even his legs, which were gangly enough already, were still growing longer. Those long legs helped the boy over the snow towards his destination.

When he arrived the dark lads blue gaze settled upon two forms; both familiar to the youth. Nearing the pair of wolves Titan's eyes widened and his tail began to beat at the air.

"Minka!" the cavern pup called to the woman he'd met a few times before back home. He knew that she was his mothers subordinate and extended family. Rushing right past Maksim, Titan let grumbling happy growls loose like a waterfall from his muzzle. He lowered himself submissively and excitedly bounced around under Minka's chin glad to see someone from his own pack. Many licks were showered upon her muzzle before the dark child finally began calming down.
