@∝ bang yongguk Nodding his head, reaching to poke a stick back more into the fire with a hum out.
"Yeah. It used to be the biggest important job before I took over the pack. I was the one who made all the suppressants for those who needed them. Problem is, being a spiritual pack, so to speak, sometimes to moon wouldn't allow them to work even when I made the strongest I could manage."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He hummed again as he looked at jihoon's green eyes. "so, you can make suppressant. That's interesting."

@∝ bang yongguk Pursing his lips gently, slightly tilting his head to one side in thought before nodding slowly.
"Ah, that. Of course- it used to just be a slight healing touch. You know, mending of cuts and bruises. Only others, not myself. But for a time I lost the gift." Sighing gently, always connecting it to the trauma of the situation that brought about the block in his gift, continuing after a moment.
"It's only recently that I've discovered I can help plants grow. That my gift lies in nature. kind of helpful since as the Seer I make all the elixirs and healing necessities around here. Suppressants too where needed."

@β lee jihoon - the seer "I see." He nodded his head and hummed. "Wanna talk about your power next?" He asked, trying to have himself involved into the conversation.

@∝ bang yongguk Sheepishly smiling, giving a little shrug.
"Well, after changing packs becoming here, I found a lot of peace in learning about the deities I never got to in my precious pack. It's okay, that not everyone is as aware as others. I try not to seem preachy about it, cause I don't want to be misunderstood for religion when it's more we give thanks to them for their roles and live our lives normally."

@β lee jihoon - the seer Yongguk watched the way Jihoon talked about the deities and stayed silent as he learned new things through the Seer. He placed his elbow on his thigh and his chin on his palm. "That's nice to know, Jihoon. It seems like you deeply know about them compared to me." He said softly.

@∝ bang yongguk Holding up his hand to count them as he announces each one, smiling a bit more, surprised the alpha genuinely seemed curious about them.
"Well, aside from Artemis there's Skaadi. She's our patron goddess of hunts. Baurir is our spirit wolf deity associated with Beltane and fire. Then there's Minervia, goddess of law and justice. Eos, Artemis's counterpart is the goddess of the day. While She isn't always revered compared to Her moon sister, She is still an important goddess as it's Her light that allows us to grow the crops and plants we rely on. The final deity is simply known as the Trickster. He watches over the realm of death."
Blinking for a moment before laughing softly, rubbing at his cheek a little.
"Forgive me.. Being the Seer, I tend to be close with the deity lore and understanding."

@β lee jihoon - the seer "Artemis..." Yongguk mumbled softly as he nodded his head. "What are they?"

@∝ bang yongguk "I, myself, am in favour of our Moon goddess, Artemis. It's by her light that we are able to be wolves of the night." Explaining gently, lazily humming and swaying side to side.
"But there are five other deities that we revere in the pack."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He hummed before he asked a question.
"What kind of deity that you have? or maybe others in the pack?"

@∝ bang yongguk After a moment, twisting to look at the alpha, giving him a slight smile and sitting on the ground, feel flat and knees up to prop his chin atop of.
"So, you don't really talk much, and you don't seem to ask a lot of questions either. Is there anything you want to know? About the pack, about our gods, events, rituals? Anything at all about some people who are a part of it?"

@β lee jihoon - the seer "I see... That's nice."
He nodded his head before he took a seat beside the tent after placing his backpack and Jihoon's inside the tent.
"You can take the corner. I can take it beside the entrance. I tend to sleep there. Just for security reasons."
He said while watching Jihoon to light up fire near their tent.

@∝ bang yongguk "Ah, so resourceful you are mister." Remarking with a laugh, spying the tent and nodding pleased, rather glad help wasn't asked of him since he couldn't pitch a tent to save his life, shaking his head at the question.
"No need, I have flint and steel. I'm pretty experienced in making fires, since I used to do it all the time in the common areas and my old manor had too many fire places I had to light on a daily in winter." He explained, crouching down and setting to work on creating a spark to work with, only taking a couple minutes to get the fire started and stacking more wood atop it to keep it burning well
"Hm? I don't mind which spot in the tent is for me. I'm small, so a corner would work perfect even if you need more space."

@β lee jihoon - the seer Yongguk smiled and started to build a tent that fit two people quietly. It only took 20 minutes for him to build the tent since he had experiences in staying nights outside of his residence. Once and a while, he watched Jihoon collecting the woods for the fire and shook his head.
"I am doing alright. Do you need any help to start the fire or do you want to choose your spot inside the tent?"

@∝ bang yongguk "You even brought a tent- I feel like we're glamping now." Laughing bemused but nodding as he took a collection bag with him outside, laying it out on the snow and beginning to gather sticks and small wood logs, breaking things to size as needed and when the bag was looking full he brought it back to the cave and set it down, letting the bundled wood tumble to the floor.
"Okay, I got what I need for the fire to be started, so let me get that going. How's the tent? Need a hand? I got two."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He looked at Jihoon and nodded his head.
"You can find those wood for the fire and I will build a tent. Just to make us comfortable."
He said before he took out the things to build a tent.
"I have matches too, for the fire."

@∝ bang yongguk "You know how to pick it."
Praising with with soft hum, beginning to poke through his pack for some food stuffs he had brought, glancing about curiously.
"Could do with a fire for hot tea. I've got flint and steel, I'll go get some wood from nearby, and get one going. Then I'll go a little more out to find some bigger wood to toss on before we sleep, keep the fire going all night in case it drops too low in temperature."

@β lee jihoon - the seer As Jihoon moved towards the cave, Yongguk looked around, reading the wind in silence as he secured for their safety to be in the cave. He then moved towards the cave, just behind Jihoon.
"The place is nice," he said before he placed his heavy backpack down on the ground.

@∝ bang yongguk "I think you'll be really good at it."
Pointing out, giving the man an eye smile as he was pat, looking for a cave or burrow as well but when the alpha spies it, he grins, nodding and making toward it.
"Ah, perfect. That'll work well. Blocks the wind, seems rather flat. Excellent choice!"

@β lee jihoon - the seer "I don't mind," he said before patting jihoon's head and moved a bit forward in search for a place for them. When he noticed the sun was about to set, luckily he found a cave. He pointed out the cave as he turned his head to jihoon. "we can have rest there," he said loudly.

@∝ bang yongguk "Then, I won't push you to. When you're ready, you will."
Smiling at the alpha, meeting his gaze with green eyes.
"I will give you a heads up though, a hunter's even is being planned. It might get popular with people."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He turned his head as he looked at jihoon's face before he looked at his front. He breathed out.
"I don't intend to meet new people yet."

@∝ bang yongguk "Ah, have I been taking up all of your time?"
Wondering with a soft laugh, looking to Yongguk with a grin.
"You should find some of the others. There's some amazing people here, extremely nice and always welcome to spend time with others. Plus we have a couple new wolves, like yourself."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He too chuckled again after hearing what Jihoon said before he shook his head.
"Not yet. You probably the first one."
He said, resting his arms on his side.

@∝ bang yongguk The seer bobbed his head in an agreeing nod, stretching his arms a little before returning his grip to the bag straps.
"Oh yeah, never ever too late to learn new things. That old saying "Can't teach an old dog new tricks"? Absolute lie."
He laughed quietly, enjoying the crunch of snow under his boots while they walked, the silence that follows calm and relaxing before Jihoon decided it was time to start bugging the alpha with more questions.
"Have you made friends with other people yet?"

@β lee jihoon - the seer He chuckled softly upon hearing the compliment from Jihoon.
"I don't that good but I am enough. It's never too late to learn new things."
He breathed out and it condensed in front of him. At times, he looked at Jihoon from the corner of his eyes.

@∝ bang yongguk Patiently waiting for the man to dust him off as well, giving his a smile full of gratitude before falling into step with the alpha.
"We haven't done too bad honestly, have we? Looking at what you've already done. Or is the scaling different? Ah, I was never the best at cartography."
Laughing a little, holding onto the straps while he walked, lower half of his face dipping into the scarf to help keep his face warmer as they got higher.

@β lee jihoon - the seer He brushed some snow on Jihoon's shoulders, fixing his scarf before he grabbed the straps of his own backpack.
"Let's go."
He said and started to walk on their way to around the mountain.

@∝ bang yongguk "Thank you, for working on it so soon. I'll be sure you get an allowance for the work you put in."
He promises, stretching a little but nodding at the suggestion to move on, shouldering his pack and brushing some snow off his clothes.
"Alright, let's get going."

@β lee jihoon - the seer He watched Jihoon drank his water and nodded his head when Jihoon looked at the map.
"Yes, I was working on it. Just a bit."
He said and sat on his knees while packing up his stuffs inside his backpack.
"Let's continue our journey before the night falls. We need to find comfortable spot to build a camp."
He wore his backpack before he stood up.
