In Character

With all the new things happening in his life, he longed for something old, something that could anchor him to his past if only for a moment. These days it seemed as if he was turning into a sentimental old fart, but before he knew any better his feet had propelled him onwards and back to the old lands that were once inhabited by the now lost pack of Dahlia de Mai. Having spent the journey in near silence, when he’d arrived to the lands he couldn’t see them in the way he once had; so deserted and lacking, no longer in their glory, or so it seemed. Sighing, he rummaged through his bag, twisting the paper and ‘herbs’, he lit one end and breathed in, instantly relaxing and calming down. “Some things change but others stay the same…” he mumbled.

Much to his surprise, he’d managed to pretty much give up on his drinking habits, only to then depend upon smoking. Honestly, he wasn’t sure which the worse of two evils were, but at least he was more in control of himself and his behaviour than when he was an alcoholic. Looking up into the sky, he scrunched up his nose and was sure it was going to rain despite how seemingly clear things looked. After being given the rank of Guan Han, he’d spent so much time staring at the sky and reading about weather patterns he was beginning to get the knack for guessing them correctly; but surely rain with no clouds was impossible…

Turning around and leaving the deserted territory behind him, he began the long trek home; it wasn’t as if he’d gained anything from his random little trip, but his needed to wander had been fed. When he got back within pack lands he’d go work on his garden.. or something probably.

Upon the trail back, he made the random decision to head towards the beach; a common thing tendency of his that had allowed him to encounter unique canines during his idle travels. With the beach in sight, an all to familiar scent called for his attention and the need to flee filled him; if he was right, his sister lay up ahead, but he wasn’t entirely sure if to approach or not. A sigh passed his lips and he moved forward, choosing not to ignore his sibling and at least have the courtesy to say ‘hi’.

“Skye; didn’t expect to see you here” he called out to her.
