Bitterroot Valley drifting, drifting, drifting

I'm going to set this after Scarlett's death for timeline sake.

Ukko just keeps walking once he’s left the borders, wandering with no direction in particular. Scarlett’s death hadn’t settled well in his stomach, debating whether or not he should go back and say his final peace or help bury or find Tavi but none of them flash to him as the right thing to do. So, he keeps walking.

He nearly misses the other wolf until a flash of snow catches his eye and he turns to see clumps on the woman’s head as she recovers.  

And he laughs.

It starts off small, a chuckle that only billows smoke in front of his face but it grows and he feels sick to his stomach. He shakes his head and taking a breath helps the feeling for a moment as the laughter fades. Ukko takes a moment to look back over to the tawny woman, his smile turning sheepish: “Sorry.”
