His desire to find and see Lena again had grown considerably in the past couple of days. The confrontation that had been the end of their first meeting plagued his mind, though perhaps not in the way one might think. He worried about the blind girl, concerned about how her brother treated her, if she'd been locked in a den since they'd met. He felt no remorse for his own aggression- in his mind it was perfectly justified and he dwelled very little on his own part in antagonising Cody. A more assertive side to the dark Stormbringer had slowly begun to wriggle its way to the surface since his Uncle's mock attack and the resulting realisation that he'd been blindly walking out into the wilderness with no protection. Just a few weeks after the confrontation with Cody, Teme had found himself snapping at Vinátta's guest Honrin. Luckily, their altercation had been alcohol fuelled on the Artisan's part and Temeraire had been reacting in the only way he knew how.
After mentioning to his father, who was wrapped up with Lilin and their new family albeit unborn and still in Lilin's belly, that he was leaving Vinátta for the day and that he would be back by nightfall, Temeraire left the borders feeling elated. He was going to track down the blind female and demand to complete the challenge they'd set each other when they'd first met. Unfortunately, her curiosity over a building, which had almost squashed her, had negated their challenges, but he found himself wanting to prove her wrong. In fact, he'd been practising walking with his eyes closed and found it easier in his optime form. He wasn't confident enough yet, but he thought perhaps he'd like to try swinging through the trees with his eyes closed- testing his reflexes and reactions was always fun and having ones eyes closed only added to that challenge.
It took him only an hour or so to travel the distance between Amherst and what he assumed was New Dawns borders. He could certainly pick up the collecting pack scents that had clung to Lena's coat. For a moment, he allowed his mind to wander back to being tangled on the floor with her, before he heated and pushed the thought from his mind. Coming to a stop, he waited for a moment, sniffing cautiously at the border, before lifting his head and howling for his almost-friend.
