Sleeping Dragon daybreak

Somewhere in the middle of his morning rounds just as dawn just began to paint the sky in light and hue, he finds himself a touch more introspective than usual as his nose prowls over the many scents lining the claim. He does not allow it to hinder his progress any, and he goes about solidifying his presence among them more with perhaps an ever sharper sense of his place on the Dragon.

He generously marks a slab of stone, and weaves a path to the nearest creek for a drink. Once satisfied, he finds trace of a trail -- @Lorne, and it is one he decides he is curious enough to pursue. He knows she is prevalent on the paths he too travels, but, they had not crossed directly in some time. Their earliest meeting may have been a little iffy yet he still considers her company decent enough to actually track down for more, although he finds he is not going far out of his way to do so.

Dio mostly continues on patrol, but he is keeping thought of her someplace close in case he does catch sight of red furs along the way.
