Advay figured he should probably tell Wolfbite he was leaving...not forever, of course but...he was taking a trip to the Lodge to the north of them, and he supposed it might be important, at least to Wolf, to know that one of his high positions was taking a trip. He was to the point of wanting to curl up and die...and he knew Moksha was there. That Gray kid told him. Staring down at his dogs, Advay gave Africa a sad little pet, not feeling the motivation to even show any attention to his pups. He was so sick of being here, alone, sick to his stomach, sick in his heart. He threw up out of pure stress after returning to his apartment yesterday, after all of those joiners...he couldn't handle it here anymore.

He needed a break. So he stood, waiting at the border of the territory, a bag on his shoulder, content to wait. He wasn't in a hurry; he'd waited long enough, that if Moksha was even still in the Lodge, he would remain there for another half an hour while Addy waited for Wolfbite or someone else to come, to get Wolfbite. He had no use for the majority of the normal ranks anyway, they were new. They disrespected him. He didn't care about them, or their attention. Wolf treated him as an equal. And Cecil, Cecil deserved a goodbye, in Advay's eyes, despite the kid probably not caring too much. Advay also needed to tell Wolf how to care for the kid while Addy was gone...

He needed to take care of Cecil, evade any worries the white-haired man might shed on him, and take care of the bullet wound that was becoming a god damn pain in the ass. But, he managed each day, putting more strain on to his body in doing so. "Going somewhere?" He had been patrolling the city, as always, but he was much slower than usual. He tended to take breaks to catch his breath which shook, clutching at his bandaged shoulder before pushing on. He was worried for Advay's safety, though he knew that the older man could handle himself very well, that didn't mean he wouldn't think of his well-being on his journey to where ever.

The only expressive change on Advay's face was the slight lifting of his green eyes, no smile, no pursing of his lips. He had no will to do so anymore. "The Lodge," he whispered, staring down at his feet again. "I-I have to find my-my um..." He was worried Moksha didn't think of him in any way like that, after so long. "T-the rest of my g-group," he whispered softer, clutching his supply bag. "I-I'm going to b-b-b-be back. B-but um...I have to go. For a little..." His knuckles turned white against his bag, avoiding looking even at Wolfbite's shoe, as if it would judge him, give him a look. "O-oh uh," he fiddled with a paper in his fingers, forgetting it was there.

With a nervous, hesitant reach, he held it out to Wolfbite. "T-t-these are the pa-pain ki-killers f-for Cecil...and um, t-the bandages should be left off for ten minutes e-every now and then to try a-and let the skin b-breath, t-t-to avoid um, it n-not healing well. Uh, if it's s-s-still dra-draining t-then don't le-leave it off yet. B-but if it stops, uh, t-then start doing that." He swallowed, making a rather ill sounding noise. He should leave soon...he should go.

"Okay," he murmured, finally, giving the Master of Stocks a dip of his head. He wouldn't restrict him from reuniting with his group he had lost. "Be safe, and thank you, Advay." The overseer took the paper, looking it over quickly before glancing upward, ahead of him. "I hope to see you back in one piece."

Advay breathed out audibly, his eyes still staring down at the ground for a moment before chancing a look up at Wolfbite. "I-I-Ill be quick," he promised quietly, letting Atlantis happily jump over and try to give Wolfbite's hand a lick, before he turned and started off, his heart beating hard against his chest. Before walking outside was just to go hunting, and he'd done it a million times. This time, leaving this damned gate was intimidating...it was a daunting task. Trying to stall, despite this being his own decision, he turned and gave Wolf a kind of wave, breath hitching as he spoke. "B...uh, b-bye," was all that came out, before he took his first step out and hesitantly kept going, his dogs trailing soon behind him, tails wagging slightly.
