He sought an even pace, not too quickly but enough to keep this moving; he focused carefully on what he wanted to be the right avenues as he glanced behind him for the visual confirmation to match the sound of following. To have her already know Arcturus came to no surprise to the older brother, however. 

In fact, of course he had been at the borderlands. Since Jarilo had kept most of the youths busy for much of the day, that would have surely been his dutiful sibling's next course of action to be within the range of Hydra or Dirge's business if he had been on the mountain. Lately, he knew he could be somewhat distanced, but that he understood to a degree from his point of view--as male, one young, just made a man, facing his first true season among them all. Now was not really his best time to consider what Arcturus was getting himself into lately though, not when the present had descended quickly upon him tonight. 

Jarilo rounded them around a slight turn and hiked up a bit as he went intently for the simplest task at hand first and foremost: better shelter. Easy, and tangible. Some of that associated tension knotted in his throat finally let go when through the falling snow he could see what he wanted--a deeper dark signifying the entrance, slotted in at the base of the rockface. He flagged his tail a notch, looking back again with a wave, and then dashed the last bit of distance to the stone.

Far from an expansive space, the taller entrance (by small cave standards) kept the ceilings high in the front, and beyond that further in, the cave narrowed out some but did not reach deep--a couple meters, maybe--it would certainly suffice for now on short notice and already, it kept some of the wind from biting. It was enough and more relief came once he didn't smell anything else around so far. He set down the hide, shook his fur again, and then he could start to properly unpack this. The skins were only the start. It's not perfect, but bit better, right? At least before it picks up any.. he panted, stepping deeper into the depth to check for any traces of company. Pivoting back when it passed, he moved slowly back towards her to see that she had made it; he was positive enough accumulating snow would've made for a miserable evening for her out with the trees, and probably not among the best first nights on the Spear. Since my siblings already gave you my name.. what's yours? he asked. Her introduction, this woman, didn't give him enough to satisfy. And you brought those with you? Where did you come from before here..? he gestured towards the hide, a lot to question one after the next, but he had been biting his tongue. He still felt like he was and he had no idea.
