Northstar Vale office style jazz band

The last few weeks have been nothing but a strain on all of them. He had been pushing his luck with @Tavi, nothing any of them did made any difference and it had been a week ago Ukko woke up to her gone. His duty in the pack left him conflicted and while he searches, he returned from each trip until the trips became fewer. Asterr nears the day of her birth, swollen and tired and likely in need of bed rest but the man doesn't push her more than he's comfortable. He keeps her fed, though, and now that he had been hunting for one with Tavi gone, things seemed to be better.

It didn't lessen the strain on him and as he searched outside the territory for Tavi once more, he finds himself much farther away then he intended. He'd gone back and forth for days and it wasn't really the way he wanted to learn the lag of the land, he did what he'd been compelled responsible.

Distracted for the moment, he finds a scent carried on the wind in his direction. It isn't familiar but the ever increasing wind leaves him uncertain of where he's going. A heavy sigh escapes his lips and he turns, once, to see the fall of a large branch up ahead, and a little further the sight of another wolf. Ukko picks his up head to peer through the brush, glancing where the fallen limb had come, and then works his way through until he's close enough to chuff the announcement of his approach.
