set right after morningside's arrival in dawnlark plains

he needed to get the hell away from morningside and that entire family.

his emotional state had taken a nosedive since @Dawn had decided to be a brat. add her equally bratty sister into the mix, plus the weight of grayday's expectations, catori's impending litter. . .it was all too much. too much for aditya, who had never had to deal with family drama and thus, turned tail and fled when things turned from gold to shit.

at least he had the maplewood. the elegant, towering trees gave him shelter from the late winter winds, their boughs welcoming him into their embrace. his stomach gurgled loudly, and he felt a pang--he hadn't eaten in some time, and it was due to stress more than anything. with nose lowered, he began to follow a small, meandering trail through the woods, looking for quarry.

after some time, aditya had managed to snatch a hare, and devoured it, his jaws sinking almost angrily into the supple flesh, teeth cracking tiny bones. when he was sated, he left the remainder of the carcass--naught but a few scraps--as a meager snack for birds of prey and carried on, licking his chops, his tail streaming behind him as he slowly trotted amidst the trees.

and all the while, thinking. perhaps he'd leave morningside, try his luck elsewhere. it would be painful, excruciatingly so, to leave dawn and her family behind, but maybe it was best. maybe it was what she wanted.

he supposed he couldn't stay here if he did choose to leave. grayday would be furious with him for desertion, so he'd have to travel far. he'd likely return south, to the sequoias. . .try to seek out old friends, live with them for a while. find a mate that wanted him. and most crucial, at this physical moment--he wouldn't be so cold.

with a sigh, aditya stopped to rest by what he thought was once a pond, its frozen, muddy mess now a blight on the otherwise pristine forest. his hawkish gaze stared straight ahead in anticipation. waiting for what, he didn't know.
