Like the kiss of the cool breeze that premeditated the coming of the season, the Aston born woman's presence returned to the tribal lands along with the season. She could sense by the morning dew and by the course of the winds that Summer was beginning to be claimed by the cool grip of Autumn's teasing fingers, and once she was able to get her taste of adventure of the outside enough in the high Summer's sun, it was time to return back home. Her return was not one welcomed back by many smiling muzzles and open arms, for it was only her mother's embrace and her smile (among with the rest of her family) she longed to see, and that alone would suffice enough for her. She was still humble at best, swelling with an inner longing and passion for returning to the lands she was born from. Adventure always seemed to call her name, but it was just important enough to follow the rivers back to her personal beliefs, back to AniWaya.
She was simply picking up where she left off before departing. Gata Hineyu was only decided and practiced upon lightly before the call of the wild induced her to the outside. There was a distinct fascination held within the art of fire and the mechanics behind it, and believed there was a divine purpose of her existence to create, understand, and manage the Great Fire that burned as the essence of heart and soul of AniWaya. Upon her return, she noticed that the Great Fire was still crackling and bristling with its inferno just as strong as it left, and blatantly wondered who was responsible for keeping it burning so strong, if it was one individual or many, or even Dawali for all she knew. Dawali had enough responsibility to tend to, so it was little possibility for the Raven Chief of AniWaya to devote all of his daily activities to fire tending.
Evadne trotted casually behind her, mainly lured by the grip of freshly cut carrots that was in Ocèane's possession. Ocèane usually wore an amused smile upon her chocolate muzzle, for Evadne was still as wild and stubborn as ever. Ocèane usually couldn't get her to move along with her unless there was some catch to provide treats, so on this day Ocèane wanted Evadne to follow along to the Great Fire. Walking to the Great Fire, it was in her duty to gather more fire wood to keep at the site for fuel to keep the fire strong. Her arms were limber, and recently scavenged a duly bladed axe on the outside that seemed to be put in good use. Carrying that in her other grasp, Ocèane neared the fire and noticed an individual busily humming away and scrubbing at the ceremonial stone ground that surrounded the Great Fire. The woman was completely white like her mother was, and there was a symbol upon her forehead that Ocèane couldn't readily distinguish from afar. She didn't recognize the woman from before she originally left and when she was younger, but her steps fell a little more quickly as she was intensely interested in the woman keeping maintenance of the ceremonial grounds. So there was another Gata Hineyu, and it excited her to meet another who shared similar skill and regards. "So you are the one who has been tending to the Great Fires from when I left here many moons ago. I originally assumed it to be Dawali, but figured he already had too much to handle as Raven Chief already." Ocèane said as an icebreaker, a warm smile crossing her chocolate muzzle. "Tell me, what solution are you using to scrub? Is it simply freshwater, or something else?" Ocèane asked, motioning to the the tools she was using, and taking a profound interest in the woman and her skill. It didn't hold a particular smell of anything from what she could sense, but one never knew the secrets of another's profound skill.
