Swiftcurrent Creek lost in space

They were both very accomodating to the young man and he was greatful for it, but as he looked around — first in the direction that the swarthy wolf had mentioned, and then swiftly at all the others — Larus realized he didn't really know where to go from this point. Getting away from the mountains was one thing, but where to next? How could he be certain he wasn't leaving behind something incredibly important on the other side of the mountain? They had not been his home, neither had been the southern range of dusty plateaus, and it was unsettling to not remember.

After briefly observing his surroundings, Larus glanced at the two strangers with an expression of uncertainty and said, This is going to sound strange, but.. Am I familiar to either of you? He paused to absorb their initial reactions to this and then went on to explain, I'm not sure where I should go from here. Lately it feels like I should be somewhere, and that I've been... Displaced, somehow. I have been trying to remember where I'm supposed to be but for the life of me, I cannot. He had a small frown upon his face now, his expression creased with worries — hoping that he wasn't sounding like he'd lost his mind when in reality, it felt like that was precisely why he'd crossed the mountains on such an irregular path.
