It had been long enough. The news was still owed to Hydra and Moonspear as a whole even if Valour no longer held the responsibility that forced it. His mother....the thought got immediately pushed away. Not a reunion he wanted to think about at the moment. As he stood upon the borders he made his appearance as undisturbed as possible despite the nagging pain at once again having to face the fact of having lost everything he had ever worked for and on top of that a family he had just began to start appreciating. Lifting his muzzle he howled for @Hydra and waited for the women to show while trying to calm his racing heartbeat. 

The first to greet him was a tall she wolf with ears that stood just as tall tall atop her head reminding him of a rabbit. The chill in which her tone greeted him caused an internal response of his own eyes turning shrewd and lips curving slightly downward before yet another wolf showed behind her, large and brightly colored but sizeable enough that Valour corrected his scowl returning to a more nuetral stance and opening his maw to speak before one more came quick to inform him Hydra would show soon. Looking between the three wolves he wondered what had Moonspear so high on guard to be greeted like this but when he spoke his voice was as cool and nuetral as ever as he looked to the she wolf first "Valour. Warlord of the Nightwalkers. Allies with Moonspear but specifically Hydra"  he could afford the honesty and looseness of tongue now. He'd never met anyone but Hydra and her mate and he quite liked the raven furred Alpha personally. "No need, this was meant to be quick. If you could tell her that my ex General abandoned us with her mate after allowing her children to wander off leaving us with no choice but to go seperate ways. If you would offer her my personal assistance if ever needed but inform her there is no pack to Ally with anymore i'd be grateful"  He tried to keep as vague as possible but the bitterness in his tone when he told the truth about Serem and her children wasn't well hidden. "Tell Hydra I am grateful for the training she gave me. Thank you all for the assistance you have given us" he had never met these three wolves but even so they were allies by pack and deserved his politeness and respect on principal. 

Three different degrees of treatment. Coldness wafted from the female, the soft expressioned male expressed what was clearly genuine sympathy which always threw him for a loop. The third, Hydra's son, spoke very well much like his mother though Valour would remember him as being more approachable than the intimidating phantom who strode out of the shadows with impeccable timing. Hydra was a more than welcomed face and while he still owed Bronco an answer he turned to her his tail swaying at his hinds betraying his admiration for the woman. "Hydra" his tone was warmer now and he swept his gaze almost sheepishly across the three who'd been trying to seem leader-like for only seconds before. Remembering that he lifted his chin higher and though his ears shifted back and his tail remained at a slow sway he stood prouder before the Alpha as he announced to her the news summarized "Serem left us taking her mate with her...presumably abandonment as she hadn't been doing anything aside from using the cache for a while. Her children left before her...admittedly she may be searching. A few others abandoned as well leaving us with too few to keep a real guard. Nightwalkers is done but I am always at your call, wherever I lay my head" the words fell genuinely from his mouth because he had no idea what he would be getting himself into in the future. Looking to Bronco he gave the man his answer with a shake of his head though he did soften enough for his lips to remain in a gracious smile "I have...less war-like things to learn. I was told the mountains were where to go so i'm off in that direction" he would admit...joining Moonspear was tempting and he could probably pry more lessons out of Hydra, Alas the draw of the world and the prospect of medicine was too much at the forefront of his mind. 

Still wary of the frigid female who guarded the borders he made a point to ignore her completely though he gave respect by giving her a brisk nod when he gave the others one as well. They had shown him how Moonspear ran and while it had thrown him off and felt intimidating....that was the entire point he was sure of it. When Hydra spoke again his expression and demeanor even further changed, for a few long moments there stood a boy stricken with praise he didn't see coming. Hydra honored him and for a moment he feared he was going to start tearing up before he managed to stare over her shoulder and focus on a swaying branch detaching himself and retaining his dignity though it wasn't the most subtle display in the world. What snatched his attention back was her request he remain a warrior loyal to Moonspear and he considered her with an expression more serious than a child should ever wear before lowering his head and extending a foreleg "As a Nightwalker I swear if Moonspear is ever in trouble I will give my strength in aid" the words were heavy as they fell from his lips, he wasn't dumb to believe he'd end up somewhere too pleasant and it concerned him to think he'd ever be against Moonspear. 

Though Ursus was a bitter topic it gave him reason to resume his firm stance. His frown deepened as he tried to recall everything he had said about the pack....and realised he'd never told her their location. "Do you know where Easthollow is? If not you go east from our old woods, through the canyon or over the mountains and to the southeast of a meadow filled with flowers is their home" messy directions but it was the best he could muster from the single trip he had made. "If you go make sure your backup is well hidden or you go alone. They are swarmers and have been known to go for people standing at their borders" he licked his maw feeling a burning fire in the pit of his stomach at the idea of Hydra starting things up that made him a little too eager "I will keep in touch. If things go south with them please find me" there was a ferocity behind his words that hinted at the piranha like viciousness of his own, the way he wanted to tear into Ursus was even worse than they way he'd felt planning Vengeance's death. 

Her request roused curiosity, who did Moonspear have against them beside Ursus? It wasn't his business and so he simply processed it and made a note to ask Hydra another time of her enemies so he could avoid them in the future. "I won't, I'll find what I can for you on the down low" he may have been filled with hatred but his rage was tempered, Vengeance had taught him how emotion was weakness and though he had mixed views keeping his true thoughts hidden was something he was growing good at. "I should head toward the mountains. See what I can find there. I will come back when I find out anything worth reporting" his tone slowly returned to the confident business-like facade though it only took a pause of silence for that to falter "thank you for treating me like a Warlord..not a pup" with those heartfelt words he would nod to her and begin to head on his way unless stopped by something else.
