Hoshor Plains keep knocking, nobody's home

He'd heard the news of Hoshor Plain's disbandment first from Savik. Now, with the arrival of Kivi on their doorstep, he was curious to see for himself the current state of the pack that had given them a reason for rivalry. After a quick discussion about his desire to scope out the area for himself with @Tonravik, he'd left the kids in the hands of @Aariak and his mate so that he could lay his own eyes on the once claimed territory.

This outriding mission served two purposes. First, he needed to know what happened to this pack. If the lands were ruined and they'd been run out by the storm, there was the possibility they'd relocated just like his pack had. If that was the case, Iqniq wanted to find their new home and fast so the Spire could keep an eye out on them. If the lands were still mostly in tact, the chances and claims of their disbandment would make sense. He'd have seen it with his own eyes and that alone would help him sleep better at night.

The second reason tied back in with the first. He was concerned for his pack. He was concerned for his kids. What he discovered would lend itself to future choices. Did they need to double or triple up their defenses? The Spire had had its fair stroke of bad luck when it came to natural predation lately. Coyotes. Mountain lions. Bears. The last thing they needed was the additional threat of their own species and he hoped to put those fears to rest.

He traveled with a bit of haste as he crossed the lands only to slow as he approached the eastern edge of the plains. His pace slowed as he scented the ground an air for any tell tale signs the pack remained. Scents were stale. Perhaps the rumors were true. Perhaps not. Either way, his face was known by the wolves here and he had no intention to be caught in an altercation should he be caught. He kept a wide girth around the once borders as he scouted and searched for any sign of lingering pack life.
