Blinking down at her young protege, the fae couldn't help but smile, before stopping in her tracks, and bending her head down to Alder, so that the pup could stare into her turquoise optics on an even level. Sitting down as best she could with her destroyed leg, she let a moment pass before extending a front paw to him, and speaking to him. "Alder, I promise that I will take you to see the Ocean whenever you want." A playful smile playing at the corners of her mouth was the only thing that distracted from Ghita's commitment. If Alder wanted to see the large expanse of water that Crimson Dreams hid to the south, so be it - she'd walk as long as she had to to get him there.
She knew that Alder's personality didn't match his large frame. Just as much as Ghita's small frame didn't fully give testament to her strong, fiery nature, Alder's body was too large for his personality. He could hide within himself to mask his insecurities, or put on airs that he wasn't as timid as he was, but those who knew him well would know the mismatched proportions. Just like those closer to Ghita knew that her smaller frame was no reason to underestimate her, especially when touched by an issue that she was particularly sensitive to.
The distance was the same from here to the most southern part of Crimson Dreams' territory, but that didn't mean that it meant the same thing to both wolves. Ghita, at the peak of her health, could easily run to the ocean in a matter of just over an hour, but with her damaged leg, that might be extended to just over two. But Alder couldn't run as fast as she could - and truth be told, it might take the better part of a day for the pair to make it down to the ocean and back, and that wasn't including the time it would take to fully enjoy the joys of the ocean.
Thinking now, the fae mulled over the distance quietly, already thinking of places to stop along the way, and the quickest way there. "Well, the ocean is quite far away from here, so it'll take a while. I think it's the farthest part of our territory." Had Alder even been much beyond the Manor? She didn't know - that was something she'd have to ask Anu. "All in all, it'll take a day to get there and back." Now, whether or not Anu would like Ghita taking her son on a day trip to see the ocean was a whole other matter - Jazper would certainly understand and respect the desire, since Sophia and Aro were more than old enough to take care of themselves, without an overbearing mother to fuss over them.
