There's a stranger here,

His time spent with Vinatta was time well spent indeed. Ink couldn't have felt more at home in any place more than in Jordheim. Their vast territory gave him plenty of space to ride Jericho and the other members of the pack were fantastic people. He'd made friends, and best friends- Tem and Andy. He'd come to accept Saul and his mate, Lilin, as his alphas and family. The vald, Niernan, had quickly become a trusted member of Ink's makeshift family, like an uncle to the boy. Colibri was always on the corner of his mind, for her pups that she didn't seem to fond of last they'd spoken of them. Erza, the friendly enough secui, had been accepted into the same opinion.

And then there was Sura. The pup had lost her family, left behind when they'd left the pack. He'd considered seeking them out, but not knowing them and seeing how they'd abandoned the girl, he decided they didn't deserve the thought. He'd taken Sura into his care, had spent the entire night clearing out one of the two spare rooms for her to use, bedding it down with soft pelts and warm blankets. To add comfort, he'd covered the walls with colorful material of all sorts, making it child-friendly the best way he knew how. Thinking back to the final result, he'd seen a strange similarity in it to his own room in the carvan as a pup. It wasn't a surprise- much of the decore had been his childhood possessions, passed on to the girl in an act of affection and good faith.

She'd fallen asleep not long ago. He'd left the house unlocked, having warned her that, in the morning, he'd be scouting the borders. He hoped she'd be okay while he was gone. Hopefully she wouldn't sneak away or think he'd left her too. He hesitated at the edge of Jordheim, but continued on with a stiff lip- she wouldn't get far, anyway, and his house wouldn't burn easy after the night's drizzle. She'd be okay.

He left Jordheim behind to travel the trodden path around the borders, deciding to walk in his optime form this time and enjoy a few hours of peace. Perhapes, in this time he had to think, he'd figure out where to start in rearing the young Sura. He had so many other responsibilities now- could he handle raising a child, too? And Jericho required so much attention. But the girl would be shifting soon! Now would be the perfect time to teach her all about horses! His mind buzzed with ideas now, some involving Sura raising her own horse- starting a tradition for his family to come! Yes! Inspirational! He made a point to remember the good ideas as they came, tail waving behind him as he walked along casually.
