Mount Apikuni someday

can we say this is after he finds out Valette is pregnant so he can share the news? :D

Of course he was exploring; but a little closer to home. Different places, different purposes, Nikai thought to himself. Nikai was out looking for recruits and checking out the lay of the lands, while Rannoch was probably searching good hunting grounds in the area of his pack.

To answer the question: "Yep! I mean, yep, I'm also out exploring. My mother asked me to look for more recruits a while ago. We've had some extra wolves joining since then, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to look some more. So I'm really just checking out territories and exploring so I can get a better view of the lands here." He smiled, clearly happy with being able to explore. It was in his heart.
