Silvertip Mountain I've been coming home all this time

AW, but hoping @Adeline might drop in

Tired from the journey, but feeling more grounded after his wanderings, Grayday trotted back into the territory with the sort of relief he hadn't felt since he was a kid. The relief of returning home after a long journey, and seeing familiar sights, smelling the familiar scents of the pack. He didn't know these wolves all that well yet, but they'd opened their home to him, and he'd made his den with them. The rest would come in time.

He thought about Banner as he made his way toward the den, their raccoon still clutched loosely in his jaws. Had her time away from home helped clear her head? They hadn't talked about it, but in her, Grayday had sense an inner turmoil not dissimilar to his own. He hoped that she found what she was looking for. He hoped he'd see her again.

Laying down his kill outside the den, Day decided that a little rest was in order. Moving a respectable distance away, he sprawled out in the afternoon sun and let his eyes slip shut. Surely this time, no one would question his presence in this common area of the territory. He'd proved himself valuable, made his way through the ranks. He was family, now. He hoped.
