After talking to Treyah and thinking it best he explore the territory, in order to become familiar with it - particularly if he were to become a gaurdian of its borders. Even if he wished to rest, which he was sorely tempted to do then explore, he needed to think about some things first.
However, there was a good of running into another packmate and to be frank, he wasn't sure if he felt up to interacting with another wolf yet, after Treyah. So grumbling to himself, the male decided to do a bit of exploring, in order to find a good private den site for himself.
Of course, he'd sleep in the communal den if there was one but the lure of his own personal space was far too tempting as well.
So scoping out the area as he slowly lumbered onwards, weaving between the trees and taking great care to take note of any tracks of other wolves. If he was reading them right and from what he remembered what Treyah had said, the pack was small. Her elderly father, a couple and their pup and another woman who had exhausted herself to sickness.
Exactly the kind of pack he liked.
