Despite the she-wolf's best efforts, Taliesin had managed to pic up on her discomfort and stayed by her side with his son during the trip. Hotaru didn't mind his worried company, if anything it was endearing. She didn't have many friends and was glad to count the higher ranked male as one of them. The grey female especially enjoyed Taliesin's company because he had brought his son along on the trip. Hotaru had a soft spot for puppies and couldn't help but smile inwardly as she listened to the well-behaved puppy.
The blind female's ears swiveled to listen to the sound of running paws. Terra's scent flooded the area and a soft smile spread across her lips. They had visited Terra's pack, although Hotaru had no idea where that actually was. She had lost her way a while back. Several yips announced the coywolf's presence, each one closer than the last. Hotaru became confused and was caught off-guard as the smaller female collided with her and showered her muzzle with a series of licks. The grey wolf stumbled a bit as she tried to regain her balance and bearing. She placed her white paws on Terra's shoulders to help steady herself and gave a soft whine in greeting. Despite the sudden hug, Hotaru's tail was wagging freely and a smile stretched across her face.
"Hello Terra. We are here to trade and have brought our caravan with us." Hotaru's voice swelled with pride. "The others are from Casa di Cavalieri, they have joined us and come with the same purpose." Despite her lingering nausea, Hotaru's spirits had risen. It had been several months since she had last seen Terra and although they would have to keep their reunion brief, she was glad that Terra was in good.
The Tessitore di Sogno shook her head at Terra's question, but remained silent as Taliesin answered it first. However, the male quickly turned from their conversation to have on with his son. Hotaru's heart ached as she listened to the heartwarming interaction and turned her focus to Terra. "Go enjoy yourself Terra... just, don't get into too trouble. If you need any help, let me know and I will see what I can do."
