Where was the sunshine? Anu felt the day cave in around her, the god she looked to out of sight. Blue orbs shone up at the cast across the atmosphere and she saw no sign of him. And yet she still walked beyond the Manor, beyond the orchard and garden in which she resided most days. Even with the lack of her Sun, she ventured through the trees and out into the lands that she had come to love over a year ago. Her heart was heavy, her mind tattered by the seemingly constant plague of insecurities and worriment. It all could be reflected to the day's weather; closed, cold, dark.
She sought the sight of the lake, known to give her a moment to reflect and even with the lack of Sun it was beautiful. With a thoughtful and slow gate the she-wolf made her way, thinking of the Dahlia wolfess, thinking of the grown children she called her own, thinking of Savina and their last conversation. Thoughts of the fey that held her heart could keep a frown from her face, but she lacked a smile as she saw the beast that was settled among the shore's grasses. It was not often that the two exchanged words, and yet Anu was drawn to him at first glance.
