He had been away for too long. Far too long. When he left the Ascendants, a part of him knew it would be a bad idea, not because of the clanmates he had left behind (I mean- who was he fooling? the only person he had liked was Starry- he hadn't gotten very close to anyone else),  but because of the raptors. Hell- for all he knew, the raptors could have eaten someone by now. Hopefully that wasn't the case but still... he needed to go back. Even if he couldn't regain their trust, then he could at least teach the Ascendants how to care for them and keep their hunger at bay so they wouldn't start hunting clanmates.

As he made his way over the border, he couldn't help but feel... terribly selfish for leaving them here while he went off to join Snowbound- but he could feel guilty later. For now, he needed to figure out exactly how he would deal with the raptors. As long as nobody had tried to hurt them in his absence, things would maybe go alright... but knowing animal instincts, he was sure some idiot had tried to protect themselves and pissed one of the giant lizards off. Knowing this, he had to be alert, just in case something didn't go the way he planned. Pushing his way cautiously through the tall grass, ears erect and flicking as he listened for any sudden noises, the husky would make a few clicking noises with his mouth, calling out their names softly. Good thing he had memorized the raptors' names back when Owen had done that demonstration all those months ago. "Blue... Delta... Charlie... Echo?" Mementomori named them off one by one, his voice calm as he slowed to a stop, waiting.
