Broken Boulder to keep him merry company along the way

som stole this but u know what im COMIGN IN ANYWAY

queenie is due any day now and so he is making an effort. it helps that the sanctuary is so swollen with life, bustling, busier than he remembers tindómë ever being. maybe his curse isn't going to doom them all and the girl who died was just an unfortunate fluke. 

delight is not by any means convincing border patrol but he figures he'll do a lap, maybe try to find something to pick up for queenie, maybe look for alarian, who he wants to be around for some reason. the rest of the pack he finds.. a little overwhelming, unsure how to meet their expectations (or what those expectations even are). he catches alarian's scent and trails it until he sees the governor standing with a stranger. a new pack member he hasn't had the chance to meet, he guesses, issuing his own chuff as he draws closer but staying awkwardly quiet lest he accidentally interrupt some conversation he didn't know about.
