on terance's timeline, he left about the 25th. (:

the trip back up to the teekon wilds had been rough. little by little the intense traveling and lack of food had worn him down, and by the time he'd reached moonspear the only threatening thing about him was his build-- which deceived his true size. of course by now, terance had filled back out entirely. he was again a handsome breed with shining fur and rippling muscles and a healthy stomach... but, maybe too healthy. he wasn't fat, but he'd decided after an extremely tiring chase after an intruder that he should probably be better at running. hydra was practically unphased by the physical activity, and she was hardly younger than he was.

the yearling made a decision to take a hike-- or a run, and made like forrest gump. he started at the base of the mountain and took off. he made sure he'd let the whole family know before he took off, taking extra care to drop by lyra and remind her of the moon that night and the next. in it's cycle, it'd would have completely disappeared those two nights! he wasn't sure if she cared all that much, but he thought she ought to start tracking the moon if she wanted to be a true astronomer, and terance did not mind helping.

most of his travels were spent walking, but he did his best to run as much as he could. when he returned (he decided) he'd be able to kick hydra's ass in a race! she'd see.

but, when he finally slowed, deciding that maybe he should turn back, terance had found himself god knows where. it was hot, sort of steamy too. at first, he hadn't even noticed the redhead to the right of him-- not until he spotted a... what? an explosion? it was in his peripherals so he was pretty caught off guard, but his head turned in that direction in a quick, yanking motion. it was then that he noticed a pretty, amber coated girl, older than he was, and hesitated. he stepped forward, ears pressed to his skull, and let out a low chuff. did she know what was going on? because terance sure as hell didn't.
