Swiftcurrent Creek Treasure maps, fallen trees

Looking for @Aria whenever you have time <3
back-dated for 2/5. Let me know if that doesn't work for your timeline!

He had left @Alessia sleeping in the den this morning. He had a particularly vivid dream about all the puppies being born dead, and he had been unable to fall back asleep. He needed to seek out Aria anyway. Not only had he not really officially met her, he also needed to ask her about Alessia like he had promised he would. 

His inky form followed the creek through the territory as he searched the ground for the medic's scent. Kavik couldn't help but think over the conversation he and Alessia had the day before as they both chose names for the pups. It was easy to forget his grief and his guilt in moments like that when the only thing that mattered was the children. But the harsh reality had come crashing down on the alpha this morning, and he found himself weighed down by the negativity again, its weight growing with every step he took away from his sleeping mate. 

Functioning under a cloud of despair seemed to be his reality lately, and so he continued on his path, searching the ground for any indication that the wolf he was looking for had been there recently enough that he could track her.
