The boy lounged on the outcrop, relishing the feel of stone beneath his feet again. His singular eye was closed against the beating sun not quite strong enough yet to chase the chill from the rock but his memories were enough to get him by for now. He could almost pretend that if he opened his eye he'd be back on the Monadnock, @Piety settled somewhere to his right, surveying the tundra while they watched Wraith pick his way back from the latest border patrol. For a moment he even thought he could smell his former lead, but she had that same alluring perfume as the rest of them. His nose crinkled and he sneezed before lazily opening his eye. "Oh..." His tail thumped the stone.

There was no awkwardness in his name on her lips and he rose to receive her greeting with proper deference, his head dipping low to bury his muzzle in her chest as she approached, a deep inhale telling him it may not have been the wisest idea on his part as a greeting growl rumbled in his chest. "So is this where yer got'ter?" Had he been a little less wrapped up in the cloud of pheromones he might have picked up on the presence of Lorcan, Cheedo, and Lenae, but tunnel vision was quickly taking over and all he could see was the woman before him. It wasn't until he noticed his nose trailing along the side of her flank that he shook his head and forced himself to stop and turn so they were standing side to side. "Yer look..." beautiful "well." He settled on. There was no point getting away from himself. She was way out of his league and he knew it.

He couldn't help but lean into her embrace, nostalgia chasing any would be awkwardness from his system as he allowed himself to simply enjoy the moment. It was no secret that Odin wasn't exactly fond of the crush of trees so he answered her comment with a knowing chuckle. He was getting a bit more used to it now but that didn't mean he'd choose to settle somewhere as heavily wooded as, say, his mother's home down by the lagoon.

When she asked what he was doing, his smile went a little crooked, "Ah, yer know how it is, had ter stretch my legs. Ma's settled down by th' lagoon near th' cedar trees but it's... also a little too cozy fer me... an' bloody Archer's everywhere." He finished with a chuckle, allowing his head to slide down so it was resting across her shoulders, his peach eye taking in the view below them. "Got m'self run off from th' Willows so I don' owe anyone anythin' at the moment."

Livening things up huh? He allowed his teeth to rake across the pale woman's crown as he chuckled, "Yeah, well, not everyone appreciates it as much as yer do apparently," and when she followed it up with an offer of a place to stay he allowed his tail to wave out behind him. "I might have ter take yer up on tha', but I should be able ter bite em myself and I should let Ma an' the siblin's know first." Not that he imagined Morganna would be beside herself with worry at his absence, but he also had his younger siblings to consider. With the warmth of Piety beneath his throat and against his chest it was getting harder and harder to focus on conversation as his head shifted to allow his teeth to rake through the thicker fur around her neck. Damn, why did she have to smell so good?

The nip to his chest sent a bolt through his body and as she pulled away his body leaned to follow, his paws keeping their place as his tail waved in time with her own. He knew he should have said no when she asked if he would stay, the smart thing was to say no and throw himself in the closest body of water that wasn't frozen over, but he had never been a particularly smart wolf. "Sure." He replied with a smile and far more confidence than he could possibly possess, pressing his flank into hers to show he wasn't going anywhere as he waited for Piety to lead the way.
