They had been travelling ruthlessly since leaving the Hollow, he knew the pups were growing tired, and everyone was having trouble sleeping during the heat of the day. It was not the easiest journey, the ragged edges of teh moutains was not the safest play area. They were almost ready to stop, and he often shared a look with @Takiyok to know when they could stop. They needed a break, and at Tak's indication they took a break. Setting the pup that had taken up residence in his maw down on the ground, Sia decided to do a quick patrol before they headed out again. With the dangerous surrounding he decided to go alone. Approaching Tak he nosed her gently before informing her that he would be back soon.

After leaving his family under the protection of Tak and Tomkin, Sia made his way into the trees at a speedy trot. Olive eyes scanning the surroundings that his family would soon have to travel through. He could hear the trickle of water nearby and headed toward the sound, there hadn't been much water in the mountains and this would be a good place for everyone to recuperate before the continued onward. As he got closer the scent of another put him on alert. He was still fairly close to the pups and it made him nervous when strangers were about.

Slowing his pace, he approached with caution. Finally the woman came into view, as she hovered over the slow moving water. He imagined the water to be cold, coming from snow in higher altitudes. He raised his head and his tail, not wanting to underestimate her, he sent a chuff in her direction. Sia waited for the woman to acknowledge his presence.
