I always thought Der might know but after speaking with her about the Keizo family, I don't think she does. :(

His greeter was clearly an affable sort, what with his forward approach just to place a welcoming nudge against his shoulder. The Keizo unwittingly flinched from the contact, though it was made despite this—it was a quirk from his childhood, that aversion to touch. Touch was unavoidable, yet the man he had become still shied away from the brush of another's nose or shoulder, often without conscious thought and without regard for the offence it could cause.

Mordecai seemed to hold the same reverent regard for the mountain that Itsuki had, although he reckoned it was for different reasons. Being a new immigrant to the pack meant that the Keizo male had thus far put little of his sweat or blood into the claiming and maintenance of the territory, whereas he was willing to bet that Mordecai held a much firmer love for the mountain. Yet soon they would leave it, if Jinx and now the well-built Ostrega were to be believed. It seemed they would leave with some regrets, though they were outweighed by the pros.

Hungry for information, yet patient in his search for it, Itsuki chose to quietly prompt the other to “spill the beans” by pointing out that, “there must be something very compelling where we're going.” He hadn't seen it yet, though when he did, he would share Mordecai's sentiment completely.
