Blacktail Deer Plateau he ain't heavy

After reconnecting with his daughters and saying an extended hello to his wife, the first thing Graday did was seek out his brothers. Of course, they couldn't make it easy for him and had separated since arriving at the plateau. It'd been so long that he wasn't sure which one was which anymore, but he suspected the trail he was following belonged to Shale, his long-lost littermate.

Well. He supposed he was the long-lost one.

"Shale?" the male called as the scent intensified. "It's me," he added unnecessarily, sure that the other would recognize him, somehow. He padded further along the trail, not quite sure the male was even around him. Perhaps the trail went on for some time. Still, he might as well start calling.
