Dengoro did seem to spend much of his time doing things by himself. Judging by that, it did make sense that he'd spend a hefty chunk of his afternoon walking along the outer wall in a giant circle, starting at the north dock wall then circling east around to the main southern gate, then returning via the west wall. Why he did this wasn't quite apparent to even himself, perhaps because it gave the impression that he was actually going somewhere and had something to do.
In truth, he was without a destination and had no schedule save training on his own, so the skunk was left to his own thoughts, all by himself, again. The fort seemed so different with his father gone... That was, in truth, the only social connection he'd even had throughout his life. Ever the loner, Dengoro wasn't about to try and make a lot of friends now. Even if he did, though, his species did prevent a lot.
Passing numerous beasts on the wall, he expected none to even notice him.

Aldar the hedgehog had some apologizing to do.... after all he almost killed the beast. After asking around villagers had responded to Dengoro being here, and there he was. Aldar walked closer, completly out in the open as much as he could, trying not to startle him. After all Aldar didnt know if he was to run or anything. " 'Ello there, sorry about before... listen I dont know what got over me... I am truley sorry for hurting you."

Dengoro finally stopped walking upon seeing Aldar. His first instinct was to turn around and bolt, but he was so immobilized with fear that this translated into a simple step backwards. The feeling of his heart pounding, the very nerve the situation instigated, overrode his thoughts and rendered him incapable of verbal response.

"Sorry I can see you don't want me here. Aldar looked into Dengoro's eyes. It was pretty easy to tell that he was scared. "Ill be on my way then..." Aldar turned around to start walking the other direction.

Dengoro, still paralyzed by the fear that Aldar had instigated in him, could barely say one word. It came out a lot more choked-sounding than he'd wanted. "Hey..."

"What?" Aldar couldnt understand what Dengoro was saying. He turned around and walked a couple of paces forward.

Dengoro felt like dumping his entire payload of spray right then, regardless of where it went. Thankfully, he had a bit more self-control than that. He forced himself to speak. "Wh... What's going on?..."

"Whats going on? I am apologizing for what I did, and I am sorry ok?" ALdar felt like somthing was up, Dengoro seemed to gitty for his own good, and it was kind of strange to talk to him.

"But you... You just..." Not that long ago, Aldar had been threatening to kill him, and had actually tried to, twice. The second attempt had seriously wounded the skunk, who was now trying to comprehend the idea of the very same hedgehog now apologizing.

"...I just tried to kill you? I know. Thats what I am sorry for. I shouldnt have done that under anything, so thats why I am here." Aldar had an emotionless look on his face as he stared at Dengoro.

Dengoro stared at Aldar, a mix of shock and alarm on the skunk's face, for a good ten seconds before he spoke. "I could be dead right now! I could, I could be laying there in the forest, with, with a, a sword... A big gash in my chest! It's just chance I'm even alive!..." Now he felt like crying or something. Probably not around Aldar, though. Dengoro didn't really want to be so vulnerable still. However, he already was.

"And you think I sohouldnt be sorry for that. You think I shouldnt have just come out this way!?!? I think not!" ALdar turned to walk away again. He was done with this skunk.

"I think saying sorry isn't going to DO ANYTHING! My life gets tossed around like a marble and it's something you'd apologize over like it was... Like it was borrowing something of mine without asking! You can't just DO that to me!" Dengoro bawled as he fell to his knees. The whole magnitude of his life being in jeopardy swept over him like a sledgehammer in the face.

"Well then maybe you should be happy you DID LIVE! GOT THAT? I COULD HAVE LEFT YOU THERE TO DIE! Thats sure better than an apology." Aldar turned while speaking to stare back at Dengoro.

"Yeah, you could have," Dengoro said remarkably quietly. Not calmly, but certainly quietly. "I dunno if you would have if Ellich weren't there... Maybe what gets me is that my LIFE is getting thrown around like it's not worth anything to anyone!" Maybe it wasn't.
