It had not been very long since it had happened but the cut on the bridge of his nose had scabbed up nicely already, but he wasn't about to forget about what had earned him that. In turn, the juvenile was preoccupying himself laying low, underneath the radar of his mother most of all, although he was still deathly curious about what was up. Being pulled in two very contrasting ways bugged him and he was not enjoying it any. But, such a chipper sort of howl from a stranger's voice wasn't about to get ignored. Jarilo set to prowl as soon as he had half a heading on the location, then took off that way. He didn't rest until he spotted the others mingling, gathering in a loose little group.

When the omicron joined them, he defaulted to placing himself near Terance by nature of him being the most familiar guy here, and wagged his tail as he eyed the newcomer. Even Gannet got a bit of a look from the green-eyed boy, but he was vaguely aware of that whole story too--just not used to actually seeing him. The brand new white wolf was definitely the most interesting right here and now, though, so Jarilo didn't linger on the omega very long to fall in step with other introductions. "Hey hi," he whuffed back towards the fresh wolf. "I'm Jarilo."

Jarilo caught on quick. The mood here was pretty light, a nice relief from the nasty cold weather and cold reception he was getting from some of his family these days. He readily bumped back for a greeting when it was his turn for one and his tail kept at a happy sway, although slowed a notch when Terance said his piece then took his leave. A little less bolstered lacking one familiar face and higher-ranking presence, he took a second to regroup. Dune's roughly pronounced question kept this swift though as he jumped at the chance to spread some details. For once, he wasn't the one coming up with the questions, and these were actually answers he had thanks to the company he kept with his own work towards similar goals--and of course because Terance was already branded as Cool and Strong in Jarilo's book.

It didn't particularly occur to him that Gannet might have something to interject in the meantime because he opened his mouth and let it start running right away (rude or not to the new omega): "Oh he guards a lot and fights--warrior stuff. He's good at it," the juvenile nodded, knowing that to him, Terance looked the part so these details would obviously match. "Astronomy is.. stars. Skywatching. Couple others here are good at that too," he explained, a little more roughly. As he did, and just after, he eyed Dune to see if this sunk in since he did not know where the misunderstanding came from exactly yet.

Indeed, Dune was new, and Jarilo's tail waved a slow thoughtful beat as he listened to the very simple exchange between the two. Noted, though, and he thought that maybe, he too understood a little bit better as he listened. Gannet's injury was something the boy had just accepted as normal. As long as he had known him, he'd had it -- his sisters had been keeping him on the mend like they once had Rannoch.. so thinking this was just another one of those cases, he was thinking it could be a while before he was back to not-hurt status. How it had happened, exactly, didn't concern him so he added nothing about it...

"What is the North like?" he asked at Dune when he thought that maybe they covered what they needed to about Gannet's situation.

He was hungry to hear more and shined his eyes brightly at Dune. Of the trio of them, he'd been the least places so really had the least scope to base this off. He knew cold; didn't like it too much. He knew flat; it was okay.. in small doses. "Oh. Kind of cool though, right? All flat would be weird.. to me.." he started to say but remembered the more words he used, the less this guy seemed to understand, so he cut himself short. Really keen on actually fitting in with other dudes who weren't his dad, Jarilo was trying to go with this flow best he could for such an awkward newbie. He had always been here and to him, all flat was.. just bizarre.

Eager to not be a total blatant dweeb, he tried to pick up some slack Gannet willingly let him have whether he intended or not. He stood a little taller. "I've just always been here." Obviously where it was not flat. "Do you like it so far?" he asked.

Without really a lot to work with, Jarilo nodded anyway and decided that was fair. It was an answer and didn't really urge Dune into too many more pestering questions about where he had come from. Without any plans to go north himself, it was difficult to get too invested in the thought at all. "Yeah.. well I hope it does." he nodded, since he kind of wanted to extend the sentiment to both of them (since Gannet still was fresh to him).

All the while, he was trying to keep to some type of flow here but his ears swung around to a distant howl from one of his sisters. "I can show you both some cool spots here sometime too, if you'd wanna.." he offered, despite not really having anything that good in mind except some creepy caves or certain little meadows he just liked because of whatever reasons struck him that day.

But thankfully his sister's howl gave him a good opportunity to buy time on that notion. He'd think on it, gather his best attempt and hopefully reconvene with them at some point later on. He finished up with an awkward 'gotta go' sort of farewell, and took off in the opposite direction he had come from.
