@Aleister - SC border

You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too

It had been happenstance. She must have wandered away from the den for a moment and her scent had drifted over the border but it caught his attention. It was undeniably her… he just didn’t know what she was doing away from the trail. It seemed so out of character for her. Still, his curiosity grew. He sat a respectable distance from the border, raising his maw to the sky as he called for the leader of this pack. He caught another vaguely familiar scent and he remembered the man he had met on the mountain, Chan, mentioning the fact that there was a group in the area looking to settle down.

He just hadn’t realized that Ene had been involved in that. He hummed softly and waited patiently, tilting his head to the side. His tail thumped lightly against the ground. Perhaps he should have brought a gift… he figured he probably should have, but it had been a side-thought truly.

He tried not to travel far from either of the mothers under his care and watchful eye, but there were borders to be tended to. Aleister couldn’t completely give up his regular pack duties, he couldn’t leave the rest to pick up his slack for his carelessness this spring. The leader had to sacrifice the little things like basking next to the lake or climbing up the Dire, instead he was making up it by working his tail off day and night.

As he rounded a bend through the thick forest, a call rang out through the sky calling for the leader of the pack. Interest perked, the leader quickly followed the origin of the call. Mismatched gaze was greeted by a tawny form just a ways from the border line. Banner raised, the new father was on guard with a new cub and more on the way. He wasn’t about to let just anyone inside his borders this time. “Can I help you?” But he wasn’t about to be outright rude, just yet.

It did not take long, Landen waited patiently at the border until the tawny man with the mismatched eyes appeared. He could only assume that the man was the leader in the way his question lingered in the air. He dipped his head respectfully in greeting before he started to speak in the only way he knew how: a ramble. “Ah… uh, yes. Ahm Landen. Landen Stark… Ah jus’…” The words trailed off before he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, calming himself.

“There’s a scent… a scent Ah know well… Ah member of yer pack, m’cousin. Is there ah Aquene here? Aquene Slayer?” He asked respectfully despite the nerves that laced his features. “We grew up together… and we trained together too, Ahm a healer… Ah jus’… Ah ‘aven’t seen ‘er since she left ‘ome… n’if she’s here Ah’d like ta see ‘er… catch up… possibly stay n’help out. We’re a great team.”

The male dipped his head respectively in his direction as he began to answer his question, though it started off a little shaky if he must admit. But his surname perked his interest immediately, but Aleister didn't interrupt him. Instead he wanted to see where this was going. Perhaps, Aquene would know who this Landen Stark was and if he was related to Lachesis.

However, he didn't have to wonder for long as the tawny male mentioned recognizing Aquene's scent which he confirmed as this Stark's cousin. A smile crossed his lips as the male finished. "Yes Aquene is here and faring well. She has grown up a lot since you last saw her, I'm sure." He debated telling him that she had just given birth recently, but Aleister didn't want to cross a line he wasn't supposed to with Aquene. If she wanted him to know, he would allow her to tell him. "You say you want to possibly stay?"

He had rambled quite a bit, but he saw the smile cross the man’s face and Landen lit up at the mention of Aquene indeed residing within the pack and doing quite well. He nodded at the mention of her growing up quite a bit. “We both ‘ave, m’sure.” He answered back, because while he had not had any significant changes in his life, he knew without a doubt that he had grown and matured quite a bit.

Then there was that question and he was nodding again. “N’deed.” He answered before delving into more. “M’capable in huntin… not much of a fighter, tho, if m’honest.” He was nothing if not candid. “M’specialty is in after th’fray.” He stated with a certainty in his eyes. “M’a healer… trained longside Aquene by m’dad.”
