The feeling of being a part of a pack was new for Rurik, who was used to the life of a loner, moving from place to place. Just being in one location for too long was different for him, much less being around other wolves. Although they weren't always around him all the time, he could still tell he wasn't alone: foot print that weren't his on the ground, different scents that would catch his nose at odd times, over hearing muffled conversation as he went around a corner. It wasn't anything large or complicated to get used to, but it still felt different for him.
On top of being a different experience for him, and one that he would need to get accustomed to quickly, it was a lot of work. Quiet a few of the houses were ruined and rotting, over grown with vegetation, and fallen into disrepair, and it had been his and his other pack mates jobs to fix what they could, clean where needed, and tear down what they couldn't use so they could burn it later, which was what Rurik was looking forward to.
Rurik knew that there were things that still needed to be done, but he woke up that morning with a lazy streak a mile long, so he decided to wander instead. He explored the wall for a while, looking it up and down for imperfections or weaknesses. He wasn't an expert on walls or buildings so he wouldn't notice anything small, but he figured he would notice something glaringly obvious like a hole. He continued walking, his mind wandering a bit to what his future might hold now, where this pack would take him and what kinds of things he would experience that he wouldn't normally as a loner.
Before long he came to a field of tall grasses, taller than most of the grass in the rest of the fort. He didn't notice it at first but after a few seconds he saw several horses grazing in the field, and almost instantly he noticed Rem. He soft growl emanated from his throat at the sight of the beast; the horse that had nearly trampled him when he had first met Jazper and Anann. What he would give to get a little pay back on the animal, and by a little pay back of course he meant eat it like any normal wold would. He stood there for a while, mulling over why wolves chose to ride horses than use their own legs, when he heard someone next to him coming threw the grass. He glanced over and saw Jazper, the pack leader, smiling at him. Rurik returned the smile and gave a slight nod of his head.
When Jazper mentioned his past experience with Rem, jokingly, Rurik chuckled a bit too, but it was a bit darker than Jazpers. "Haha, very funny." He said jokingly. "I hadn't been expecting the thing to charge me the first time, that's all." He watched the beasts graze for a few seconds longer before speaking up again. "I don't know how they can stand to ride those things...do you?" He asked, glancing over at Jazper. He wasn't entirely sure of the male's view on horses, but there wasn't much else to talk about, so he figured he would give it a shot.
