The twofold-toned captain of black and silvery gray picked his way carefully and slowly through the bushes that the Ranch Humans had planted so long ago. It was a complex undertaking, trying to pull through such thick brushwood being a wolf of large stature, but Koren was succeeding nonetheless. He had occasionally returned, only to find out his childhood foster family had been all but preserved, and then to run off again to see to his father and his siblings. But now all he sought after was to return to the life he had truly loved. Being in the wild was a fantastic experience, but he could not help but miss the normal every day going-ons that the ranch possessed. And so here he was, at the fence of his pup hood home. Koren's amber orbs scanned the yard in hopes of seeing someone he knew right off the bat but fate would not have it so. The artic caliph cleared the fence with an almost effortless jump and sounded a short, quizzical bark. He tried to make it sound as unthreatening as possible, but he couldn't really judge how he figured the ranch pets would take it. He would just have to wait and hope they would remember him.

While Timber went off with John and Tahmores, Aidan lingered a moment after catching sound of a familiar voice. He certainly wouldn't forget Koren's voice. It had been a long time since he had seen the wolf, and as usual, he was uncertain of their relationship, which had been a bit rocky since the start, thanks to their waring families. Still, Aidan was hopeful that this meeting would not hold any grudges.

Moving at a careful pace with his tall ears perked up and his tail held in a friendly manner, Aidan made his approach to Koren. "Koren, it's been a while." Aidan stated, stopping a few feet from the other. "Your arrival coincides with our masters... two of them, at least." The hybrid added, his blue eyes shifted down for a moment as he remembered that terrible battle. His neck carried a large scar over it now, just like his brother's.

Koren's ears swiveled around, catching the soft foot falls of Aidan as he approached. Koren had never been one to follow family grudges, but he had always been wary of Aidan. It wasn't that he was threatened so much by the hybrid, it was Aidan's family. Yes, Koren had brawled with them once or twice - okay maybe three times, but that didn't matter now. They would move on, or so he hoped.

A friendly smile tugged at the wolf's mug and his posture relaxed to an aloof sort of position and he greeted the hybrid ranch pet. "So it has. ." His mood shifted incredibly fast the moment the words "two of them..at least." "What do you mean by that, Aidan?" The sudden change in his mood upped his state of alert. The Arctic's amber eyes conveniently fell on the lovely scar Aidan was sporting on the side of his neck and his eyes narrowed. "What's happened here, to everyone?" Koren's tone picked up a pinch of rash urgency and his pose stiffened. He wanted answers; he had to know who was responsible for the decimation of his foster family. He was not the son of Danger for nothing.
