Travelling alone had become his new normal in the months since he'd been awake. Though things were a little different now, Elgar'nan reduced to nothing more than a fleeting memory of words once said to him. One that fluttered across his memory from time to time, only to be banished away by June out of pure frustration. For the most part, they had come to an understanding, and the Evanuris had even given him a few pointers in improving in areas of magic in which he lacked. Even if he would not dare to touch blood magic, something seen as missed potential by the inventor, but Revas did not care. As long as he lived, he would never dare touch such foul and soul twisting magic. Useful as it certainly would be, he could manage more than well enough without it.
Nevertheless, he had spent much of the past month alone. One issue was sorted, many remained for the world, but with the veil gone meant things returning to what they should be. The problem lied with those of younger generations, a large adjustment period as it were, but he could already feel the effects seeping in as he went from place to place. Magic came to his aid even quicker and easier than before, even dreaming had returned to the tranquility he remembered, able to manipulate and shape the landscape down to the most minute detail on a whim whenever he slept. For many hours of the weeks he had been on the road, Revas had spent much of his time reconnecting with magic that had gone dormant during his slumber. And it had worked rather well.
In truth, the more he traveled, the less he saw the need to use the eluvian network to get about. Though on this day in particular he had, heading further into areas he had not gone near in months. Orlais was a... troubling part of the world to be around, at least for someone like him. But the open forests that dotted some of the landscape were not horrible, nor overgrown either. Even as he quietly picked his way through the various pathways that this particular gathering of trees a foliage had to offer. That the day was moving towards it's end, and an encroaching darkness along with it, did little to bother him. He could see well enough in the low light and a flame in a few hours could light his way until he found somewhere suitable to settle for the night.
What he of course, had not expected to encounter in these woods was the sight of two larger than usual wolves wandering about together. Common enough typically, and they being of such a size was not a startling sight for the elvhen who recalled one who carried a far greater presence briefly, but they did not seem to be the wild sort. Given upon noticing him they did not attack an intruder such as he to their territory. While one wandered off almost as quickly as he'd seen it, the other seemed more cautious.

Easy, I'm not going to hurt you.A quieter tone as he knelt down, shifting his satchel off of one shoulder and onto the mossy, leaf ridden ground beside him. A hand slowly offered out in greeting. Perhaps if he were lucky he could pass without too much issue, or find whomever might have lost a creature who'd wandered astray.
