After some time had passed he could no longer quiet his restless instincts, pressing him to journey onward. Half sitting up he leaned into a stretch, his mouth opening wide and snapping shut. The noise sounded loud even to his own ears. A lot of sound was swallowed here between the dunes. For all he knew he was the only drake in miles of this place. Feeling his sleeping tingles dissipate out from his pads he gave his coat a half hearted shake. It would load with sand again in no time, no reason to put too much effort in.

He proceeded forward in a easy lope that he could easily sustain for a few hours. The nights clean air pulling through his nose and jogging old memories of different times. Times when he ran with a pack and not alone. Now there was only him and those before him had scattered to their own corners of the earth. Still though, melancholy didn't suit his temperate and he soon shook off any echoes of sadness. What he would really love would be to meet a femme to suit his needs. He did not think he was looking for a mate but he did concede that he was getting of the age where he should stop wandering and find a den. He had traveled far enough from his birthlands and these packs here seemed scattered and few between. He could probably carve out a nice region for himself here...though he wasn't really the fighting type either. Better idea would be to locate a pack who's alpha would be in charge of all that sort of hub bub.

Cresting a particularly tall dune of sad he grinned wide, getting up to speed he lunged forward and splayed his front paws. He let his momentum carry him forward and slid down the steep side of the dune, sand tickling his skin and lodging into places he would need to clean later. Coming to a rest he decided to embrace it and rolled around, getting a few good itches on his back. He lay there looking into Fenrir's heavens wondering how many of his ancestors spirits dotted the skies.

The arid night didn't bother him in the slightest. He was born of these kind of lands. Most considered this something you only passed through. Something that was best escaped as quickly as possible. Let them continue to think that - more space for him to roam unbothered. He was aware of the rogue pack that congregated out here but he knew where they roamed and was sure to stay out of the way. Plus he met a cove or two from that rag tag bunch that weren't the worst sorts. The leader however was a different story. Best to keep a wide angle around her.

The night was still as it always appeared on the surface. He lay on a sandy dune riddled with grass that felt and looked like straw. His ears swiveled and flicked honing in on the real nighttime activity. All sorts of creatures emerging into the night that would not normally venture out under the blistering sun. The lizards and scorpions tucked away for the night.

Leon's half lidded gazed wandered lazily over the landscape. Though this was mostly desert it was not always quite as flat in places as most thought. He lost sight of his east behind a particularly large rocky dune. Who knows if some desert rabbits where coming out just outside of his view...Though he would not mind a nice snack he could not say he was actually hungry. Nor was he completely willing to leave his comfortable position. His body happily soaking in the days heat through the ground under his pelt.

Tail lightly sweeping the sand behind him he continue to survey his small corner of the world in peace.
