It had been farther than he normally would have gone from Dahlia De Mai as of late, but he was on a hunt for food for his family now, and he needed to know the land that he was riding on. He new the land to the south of the packlands, so he made sure that he was going south with Vox and he also let Krystalle know that he was planning on going out of the packlands. He'd been doing good he thought about letting her know where he was going (though he could never know of the times when Hurricane decided to sneak out without notifying Krystalle) and he was rather proud of himself for that, like that was anything to be particularly proud of. He was a shotty father and he knew it, but he liked to try and think that he was trying his best to be the best father he could be when he was him and not Bartholomew or that new bastard that he never learned the name of. This new person was not open with themselves like Bartholomew was. They didn't walk out of the shadows and try to communicate with Mars like Bartholomew was known for doing. It made Mars wonder why Bartholomew was the only one who wanted to show himself to Mars willingly, and even when Bartholomew showed himself it was rarely recently. It made Mars wonder what was up. Was this new persona pushing against Bartholomew? Were they constantly battling at the back of his mind?

Vox stopped abruptly and twitched his large ears, which startled the Russo man who had been stuck in his thoughts. Hum? the man grunted from his maw and he cocked his head and listened. He stuck his nose to the east, where there was a particular scent coming through the air. There was deer on the air. Vox snickered lightly and Mars nodded his head as if he understood what the steed had been saying. He didn't but he knew that they both had the same common goal since they were master and steed. Mars pulled Vox's reigns and he had turned him toward the herd of deer that they were hearing and smelling. They moved slowly, believe it or not, if only so when they were heard, the deer would think that it was only a stallion and not what it really was, a predator.

They were going in the right direction and when they had gotten to a river, they had to stop, It would seem that the herd had moved across the river at some other shallow point and were moving that way. Mars only stopped because he was frightened of large bodies of water, and it took him a long time to get into rivers because of their current that sometimes was rushing water. He simply let Vox stand there at the edge of the water because he was too scared to cross. He stared at the deer that were at the other bank, teasing him it seemed. Just out of his reach.
