Through the settling dust, he saw the dark silhouette move and come toward him- and within moments he saw the sparkling shine of her eyes, glimmering with worry and relief as she recognized him. He drew toward her, pausing only a moment to cast his gaze over her form to make sure she was alright- before he reached out to pull her close against him, resting his chin on her shoulders as she leaned into his chest. He could tell by her expression that she was surprised and dismayed to see his condition- but she didn't seem repulsed. He spent very little time fretting about his appearance anyway- and had accepted the fact that he would forever be a unique figure, with his scrawling scars and tattered ear. 

She smelled of pinebark and lightly of spruce sap- just the way he remembered her. Fresh, wintery forest air rested about her like an invisible halo. He'd never seen her this shaken or worried- the Vallkyrie he knew was confident, carefree and brazen, but worry had clearly wormed its way into her heart. He couldn't be sure if it was the meteor strike that had rattled her, or if he was something else- but the first thing she mentioned was him, and his wellbeing. It touched him to think that she cared enough to have feared for his safety. 

"For another day, yes," He murmured. He wondered if Neverwinter Forest had been told about the bear attack on the Glen- or the cougar attack on the Caldera. The meteor strike and landslide that had just occurred, though, was enough to give them worry. He didn't take notice of the one who had followed her, as he closed his eyes for a moment. He could still feel the light tremor in the earth beneath his feet- it would take some time for the mountain to cease its rumbling. "We're safe here, we're far enough away, but-" He said, and shook his head, nuzzling his muzzle deeper into the dark fur of her ruff. "I think this'll...Probably spell the end for the pack." It probably wasn't his place to be sowing doubts, especially when Antares was counting on him to help hold things together. But considering what had happened just moments ago? It was impossible for him to believe in the pack's perseverance in the wake of such a freak accident.
