In a way, she hoped winter would be there forever. It kept people indoors, staying cozy and warm, talking to one another for the sake of talking. The house that she lived in, though it was crowded, still kept her brothers close, her aunt and her daughter, and Conor. Though she wasn't quite sure how he fit in there, he did. And he was family. Presently, Shiloh gingerly stepped over blankets of snow, which disguised her white fur fairly well. She was happy to see that fresh snow was clean, and nothing but frozen water, and it merely covered the dirty part of the world. That was another wonderful thing about wintertime.

But soon, she knew, her brothers would be leaving their house in Wolfville, to start their own life, and build their new houses soon. Sue, they'd still be in Dahlia where she could visit them.. but it felt as if they wre all drifting apart again. Just when they all got back together. A sigh emitted from her perfect white muzzle, hugging her coat close to her as she meandered over small rocks by a lake. She paused to look at the river, seeing where the ice slowly ate the banks, threatening to stop the flow of water completely. But still, that ice-laden river gushed forth and kept on flowing despite the odds.

Like the river, the Dawnbringer female kept on walking, following the flow of water. A cold gust of wind ruffled her up, however, leading her to push her nose down inside the coat as well. Cream colored ears twitched back on her head in slight irritation - she had gotten her hair the way she wanted it today. Now Shi knew she'd have to fix it again once she stopped to rest. One ear flicked forward, and the young damsel thought she caught the sounds of the ocean, and made a beeline in that direction. The ocean always reminded her of her father, and how he told Shiloh to follow the sounds of the ocean home. It wasn't too far a trip from Inferni to Dahlia, though she smiled when she remembered that he sent scouts to look after her. His one and only princess. If only he'd come and visit her, and all her brothers for that matter. They could finally be a real family once more.

Shiloh nearly uttered a squeak when the river cut into sand, and headed straight for the ocean. Brushing past a tree limb, her cerulean-colored eyes sparkled at the sight of the large expanse of water. It wasn't the ideal scene of a beach on a warm, sunny day, however. Snow still found its way here, and nearly consumed everything in sparkling white. Shi shivered some, not even wanting to imagine how cold the ocean was during this season. It had already been frosty enough in the air, but in the water... forget about it.

"Huh?" She lyrically muttered under her breath, side-glancing at someone walking nearby, almost heading in her direction. Her nose immediately caught the scent of Dahlia on this approaching female, and Shiloh relaxed some. Still, she wasn't sure who this pack member was, though Shiloh thought she caught the sight of ruby red eyes. 'It couldn't be... could it?' Her mind questioned, as she watched the other female. "Hello there! Ex-cuse me" She said, trying not to let chattering get in the way of her speech.
