It was with great reluctance that Skye took her pups out of Thornbury again since her meeting with Hotaru, a little ways away from the stone gray town. Now that she had pups again, the disappearance o Nathaniel was deep inside her mind, almost taunting her. She as more experienced now - older, wiser, having been through more experiences than her younger self, green with inexperience, had been. And yet she could not shake the worry that she had - that she may fail her pups as she had failed Nathaniel, the one that looked the most like his father.
So it was with heightened stress and anxiety that she heard the call that sounded from the nearby borders. It was not a call of a joiner or a trader - it was the call of someone, someone that she did not recognize, calling specifically for the leader - for her. ”It’s time to go on a trip, little ones,” she said gently to her pups - they made faint sounds in response. With a sad smile she gripped them closer to her breast, keeping them warm and safe from all who would harm them.
She made her way to the borders and caught a scent of the stranger - the scent was Casa di Cavalieri. She was puzzled as to why one of them would want to speak to Skye herself, but the confusion and unknown elements of the situation was dissolved when she saw who it was. It was Alyssum - the one who Jazper had told her he loved. She did not show any outward signs of emotion, but she still thought she may know what Alyssum wanted now - if Jazper had told her of the pups that he shared with Skye, there would be no doubt that she was upset.
”Good day,” she said amiably. ”You are at the borders of d’Arte, Cavalieri - how may I help you?” Her voice was steady, betraying none of her emotions.
