Blackfeather Woods you tell me everything twice

It is growing apparent that his original plan - his orders - to meet back with the Caldera prior to Drageda's arrival is moot. It is not that he couldn't try to slip away. The Caldera is close enough that if he were calm and steady he could probably make it all the way back. But he does not know when Drageda is arriving and he wants to gather as much intel as he can, doesn't want to tip his hand and lose their advantage. 

Plus, even if he thinks he can handle it, he does not want to have to fight someone off. 

So instead he will wait for their arrival and learn what he can. And it is not terribly difficult to do so. Despite the ever present reminders of death they seem to function as any other pack would, and so Argent spends his time exploring and acclimating, as any newcomer would. Only time will tell the rest.
