For Melisande
Naniko hadn't been here for a while, to this territory. This was where she'd been born, or so Physe had told her...and this was the place that her mother and father had left her, her sister had left her, and her adopted father had died. It seemed strange that she wasn't living here, in this place that held so much of her history...but she'd moved to somewhere better. Naniko was a social wolf; she wouldn't have been able to survive without anyone to talk to. That was probably what had kept her in Clouded Tears, even after Iskata, Magdalena, and Davinci had left her. The fear of being alone.
This sparse territory didn't have a lot to offer her sight except for familiarity...she knew where everything was, here. She knew that Physe had left a large amount of alcohol hidden beneath the floorboards in the halfway built cabin, she knew that there was a pack of matches and tinder in the cabinet beneath the basin in the kitchen there.
The girl sighed, her tail hanging lifelessly, brushing the ground behind her as she walked. She would grab a few bottles and take them back with her to Clouded Tears. Maybe she'd see someone interesting on the way back.
