Ithaqua would be gone for several hours and be back by sunrise with more supplies (and covered in blood but that was normal considering what he does), Taking off his mask and stilts, ect, he was a caring husband, you knew that, but you hated it when he left the cabin and you alone inside.

Though when he'd come back, you'd attempt to show your affection, often he'd return it, but sometimes he was in such a bad mood that you had to comfort him out of it.
