Sunbeam Lair tell me it'll be okay

When the weather warmed up just enough, he had made use of it and left the cavern to scout. Staying in one place so long had been miserable, and his spirit, heart, and soul ached to just go. He'd still preferred his lonely walks over immersing himself too much in the pack yet.

Which.. he still felt strange about despite his paws always leading him back to the territory after going out. Mistrustful, somehow, but he couldn't tell if it was towards the others around or himself. The feeling alternated so badly. He couldn't say why, not even as he drifted on their fringes.

The pale Rikudou had just crossed back into the borders too, but from a different direction of the female he soon came upon. Nervousness reared up; she was vaguely familiar from the incident that had slid him into their fold. He couldn't yet tell what that would mean and neither did he have any idea of her status, or her forays. His ears splayed and he waited to see (and gauge) her response to him. Inari withheld the greeting for now, but postured submissively with a wary look on as his steps carried him a bit closer to her.
