After his trip to the sea, Alexander hadn't been too interested in returning home. He'd stayed away for several days longer than necessary, wandering aimlessly and replaying the previous events over in his head. He couldn't quite understand it—didn't want to understand it—and so he'd tried to run from it. That had eventually carried him back into the comfort of Blackfeather, but he'd not stopped by to see anyone whilst there. His scent had been left behind, however, informing those within the woods that he wasn't dead. Thereafter, he'd set off once again, but hadn't gone quite as far as he could have.

Xan found himself lingering along the creek, moving in the direction opposite of the current as he followed it towards the mountains. He'd considered taking a long journey to clear his head, perhaps even visiting his place of birth, but had ultimately decided against it. The boy settled for just continuing his trek along the waterway, deciding to turn back and walk on the opposite side once the mountain's base was reached.
