Merrit wasn't far from Kallik. He usually never was. Perhaps, if things had settled easier with Legion, he might've stolen away more often. But this pack had gone through an upheaval themselves. No times for him to get attached to the place he'd found them. Their new home, upon a mountain. Not near as glorious as Moonspear -- but it was close.
He felt anger from Arbiter. Understandable. He thought of Ursus, if they had done to Easthollow as this other pack had done to Legion. He would have fought. He would have liked to believe he would.
But they had been destroyed by something unfightable. And wasn't that the worst part? Powerless. His eyes turned to Kallik through the snow. They both had been.
"Kallik," he said from behind, eyeing the other man who had spoken. Unlike Kallik, Merrit's eyes were simply passive. Neither warm, nor cold. Perhaps worse, than being either-or. He would need to acquaint himself with these other packmates soon - but for now, he could only afford a short nod.
"Indeed. And mountains usually have good caves," he remarked, before he turned to Kallik, whose gaze fell too long over the side of the mountain for Merrit to find any comfort in. "Come. Find shelter with me." Whoever wanted to join could tag along - but he hardly knew anyone here, and from the ice both he and Kallik shed off in droves, he would be surprised if anyone else decided to follow.

with quiet words I'll lead you in
