It had been so long since the obsidian male had traveled this close to Ichika. His home now beckoned with a terrible ferocity for him to return to it. He was torn what to do. After leaving he had promised to never curse the land with his presence again. Now he wasn’t sure if he was so bad, if going home was so terrible. Why was it that nothing ever seemed easy? Pride said it was because he was tough but the pain of loss said it was because he made it that way. Others fell to injury around him and his homes always crumbled away shortly after being found.
So why was it that he risked being lost now to the inescapable pull of home? To be so close was a torment.
The Optime was distracting himself with different questions about his skills. He was completely naked now, only black fur about his body. His possession were safe in a little school house in a small city near Halifax. Without them he felt bare and exposed. Lots of his things had been damaged in the recent months. He needed to craft a new bow and find a replacement for his gifted dagger. His carrying bag for all the instruments he used was in need of repair. There was enough to busy his mind.
That was before he stumbled upon an Ichikan huntress. He had gotten within only a few meters before seeing her due to his distraction. The smell on her said it all, all that needed to be said to pull him from his thoughts and ground him there with her. He looked up and decided he’d best say something after his mindless approach. How goes the meal, pack wolf? He said respectfully but quickly drawing a distinction between them. She was an oddity, maybe someone he hadn’t met before he left or someone new to the pack. Whatever the case, he was glad the wolf wasn’t someone he had met before.
