Taking orders had been just as easy as fulfilling them for the lad, though he couldn't quite say it had been a challenge to begin with, he thought in all honesty. He had had a role just as important back home, if not more so, alongside his mentor and dearest love, as it would make sense for simple tasks such as patrol and protecting the comrades of his new settlement to come easily to him. Having finally established his comfort level here, Xerentis noted the decrease in dreams of the past as of lately, and more based around the present, and often those of what laid ahead of him. Of course, no soul could predict the future, though he had met a few who had made some very interesting judgements that came true about him, however, the delta male believed it was a sign of adaptation to his surroundings and a milestone that marked a point in his life of moving forwards. Perhaps he would never see his commander again, nor his sister and friend, or the rest of his fleet - but he always had a feeling they were with him in spirit no matter where he wandered, which he found the most comforting.

Still, Xerentis devoted his minutes of peace in the day between shifts to stay within the clearing, meditating atop a lowly rock nearest to his den in hopes it would clear his mind of any nuisance. He had been practicing the exercise since meeting his unit as a wee soldier in training, having been told his temper would get him in lots more trouble if he wouldn't find ways to de-stress from it. Being that he wasn't the only one with that issue, the situation was handled through meditation, putting off time for himself so that it benefited not only his fleet, but made better for his performance as a fighter alone. Keeping a quiet mind meant for better concentration, and without that, he wouldn't be as strong and patient as he was today. He was proud of himself to say that in respects to those that trained him and taught him greater wisdom ahead of time. The brute could not imagine himself any different of a wolf than who he was in the present - the ideea almost scared him, but he tried to fear little in regards to what could've been done if things had gotten out of their paws. There were times in his past he would always look back on as a regret, while others were a blessing that led up to today. He'd never forget those that built him up to the wolf he is and is loved for. Eyes closed, he exhaled out the negativity, and brought in only positive vibes to fill his lungs. Silence was truly his best friend.
