Christ, he was far away from home as he could even muster. But @Iskra as he had learned her name was, was just as capable in her battles as she was in her pursuit of learning medicine and being kind. Though she looked average, Cry recognized potential in the mediocre-appearanced wolfess. He’d rather her nurture it at home, however, as that was the safer route to take. Should others rush to see a medic, she would have plenty to work with. And should she grow to Mastery level wit’s the brilliant trade, he’d assess her, and give her recognition that she deserved.

Thinking of trades, he recalled the fine work of @Gwen, and how she was honing herself as both a wife, and a wonderful miracle worker in hunting. She could seemingly snatch meals out of nowhere, and she was growing rather sharp in the specialty of hers. Her dainty appearance was a faux dress over the naked beauty of an experting huntress. Soon, Cry knew, Gwen would have her title.

Not too far into his thoughts, Cry wondered how @Phex was getting along in her travels, and whether she was keeping smart and staying safe. It was tough being an Ambassador learner, as it required not only expert assessment of others, but knowing which door to knock upon and which door to not touch. Phex was stubborn- but if she’d heed his words, she’d be perfectly safe. Yet the youth might be capable of charming any and everyone with her high spirits...regardless he worried for the girl he considered a daughter. Thinking of daughterly figures, @Kai skirted through his conscious, and painfully he pushed any and every possible negativity out of way from the Sea-Found. She couldn’t have simply upped and left... once he had time, he’d have to look for her. 

Throughout all his thinking, Cry barely noticed how far he had truly come. But ahead loomed a rather lively lake, and with it, a fellow lupine. Nearing through a calm walk, the ebonian kindly reached a murmur to the flower that wilted through the frigid world that surrounded them both. “Hello.”
