Today had been a day for going back to the basics. It had been a good long while since the dark wolfess had shifted down into her lupus form, preferring her optime for its security and the many things that she could do while she was in it. She had wildly thought that perhaps this was one of the things that would help her to bring Utriu back to her, if she remembered what it was like to be one with nature, or closer to nature. So the female had concentrated and shifted back down the night before, gotten some sleep, then come to the next morning.
The only recognizable thing about Ember while in this form (besides her many piercings) was the fleshy scar on her collarbone and the pale green of her eyes. She had been running all over the territory on this day, getting used to having four legs again rather than two, trying to do some of the things she had done when she was younger and unable to shift. She had swam in the river, chased down a pheasant, and hunted a few rabbits. One hung slack in her jaws.
Lotus was presumably elsewhere. She had brought him back a big box of toys from the city a week or two past, and he had seemed to enjoy them. There were a few stuffed animals that he insisted on sleeping with every night, something that she found to be pretty cute. He was getting bigger and bigger each day...soon enough he would be hunting for himself, finding all of his own food and not relying on her as much. She didn't know how she felt about that. She hadn't given birth to the boy, having adopted him, but they spent so much time together...she cared for him as a mother would a child.
She stared out into the woods as she walked, a gentle breeze blowing her fur back and forth, back and forth. She felt as if shifting down into her lupus form hadn't been a waste of time, even if she didn't get in touch with Utriu again. It was always useful to remember where one came from and to not forget what things used to be like. In this form she occasionally fumbled, but maybe that was what she needed. Perhaps she was growing to be too comfortable in her two-legged humanoid form.
Her walking began to slow. She didn't know what she would do if Utriu didn't reappear soon. She hadn't realized it at first and hadn't even noticed that he was gone for around a week after their argument...but she did miss him. Bayard was nice to talk to, but Utriu understood her on a deeper level than her horse companion. She settled beneath a tree, still thinking on this, and began to lick at the fur of the rabbit, biting at it to get at the tender muscles of the hindquarters.
