though winter was passing, slowly but surely, his worry grew with each day gone by. not many souls had come to occupy the plateau, and the ones that had tended to be fleeting. they could not hold a territory with limited numbers, and they would not survive off limited wolfpower.
aditya paced the narrow beach, mulling his options. they could return to the hinterlands, seek out vein's pack. . .the man had been a good hunter as well as conversationalist. but the prospect of living somewhere lined with skeletons just didn't seem right to him, and so he pushed that option to the back of his mind.
they could seek refuge in the valley, or travel further up the coast. adi wasn't certain, but he knew he'd lived long enough to potentially outlast any enemies that remained within teekon wilds. who would be left?
as long as they didn't cross the sunspires, they ran little risk of running into old morningsiders.
he entered the surf, wetting his ankles. drew his tongue along his lips, pensive, nervous. he was loath to leave the sea. he was loath to leave this place. but for the sake of his daughter, her well-being and future, he could not afford to be stubborn, to dig in his heels. he had a responsibility to her that went well beyond himself.
