Great Bear Wilderness at the edge of the future

For @Verrine, once again set the gray area between the Spine and the Bay, because we're ghetto like that, haha. More than likely closer to the Bay this time than in the middle though, for reference.

Today, he took the chance and ventured out into the Wilds. With the calamity of events in the Spine, Mordecai had been reluctant to stray too far away. Fear held no bounds on him in that regard, but opportunity did. He had no idea what would come of it, should any event arise, but the days had grown long with nothing much to happen. Ptarmigan had secured her own position, but like many of the relationships the new leader had he felt they were shaky. Perhaps she had the loyalty of Viggo, but Mordecai knew she did not of those she retained beneath her. He did not see Cara or Kaname submitting to her rule, and where he lied after that he hadn't decided. It wasn't acceptance, but it was more than tolerance.

After a while, it had simply become too much for him to ponder. Instead he had returned to the locale where he had last encountered Verrine. There he did not find his sibling, so the tawny Ostrega dared to venture a little further to the north. He knew of the place his brother stayed, but didn't want to encroach upon their range. The likelihood of being intercepted by someone else did not play into his favor. Lingering nearby what he could have guessed as one of their hunting grounds however… the chances seemed higher. He had little doubt in his mind that his brother would be out hunting somewhere, if his raising was anything like how Mordecai remembered his own. He had time to wait, possibly to the point of wasting, and the mid-afternoon sun came and went behind rain soaked clouds that had yet to release their contents.
