Spring was supposed to be a time of rebirth, of new life and new beginnings. Yet all he had left was the fact that she was gone. It had taken him some time, but he finally managed to get as far away from her death site as physically possible. The loss of his past mate, Aerys, had taken a lot out of him. On the plus side, there was nothing else tying him to the southern lands. Now he could come back to the north where he felt most at peace. Maybe here he could forget about all of the losses that he had to endure since coming to this strange land.

Tsukikage had taken a liking to the vast open tundra. His massive frame patrolling the shoreline of the vast lake before him. It was a quiet and somewhat peaceful place, with the occasional washed up animal that he could feast on while he got his priorities in line. So when he had taken to following the seagulls this time around, he wasn't quiet expecting any company along with it.

Yet there it was, the stench of someone taking their own fill from the water's bounty. The wolf of moonlight and stars proceeded with caution, ice blue eyes catching sight of a large wolf in the distance. A woman with dark tones and grand stature. With a scent that seemed exotic and foreign. No matter, he still kept up his guard. After all, even roses had their thorns. And he was not about to play gardener.
