Spending Time With Strangers

Cypress was hardly one to really talk of what made home, home. Crimson Dreams was the only home he had ever known. It was where his mother lived. Where she had birthed her sons and raised them. Just as easily his home could have been any number of lands. Familiarity and the comfort it brought was what kept him grounded there. He knew the wolves there; he knew the lands and knew no reason for change. Cypress assumed the same was for Symera and Inferni. That she had been born and raised here. After all she was younger than him so it seemed only logical in his naive mind until she said she had lost her old home and no lived here. His face saddened at the idea that she had been forced from her home. "That's terrible. It must have been horrible to lose your home. Why did you have to leave?"

Cypress was a little nervous about his trip home. The moon had waned since his arrival and Cypress would not have the light of the full moon for his travel home as he had for his journey here. Still he hoped it would give off enough light to sooth his fears of the darkness. A fear that had plagued him ever since he had been frightened in the dark, moonless woods of his home nearly a year ago. Though, much like his aversion to his optime form his fear of the dark was another weakness he would not openly admit too. "It will take me over a day to get back, maybe two." He could probably make it in less time if he hurried, but he would rather plan for sometime to rest and hunt if need be. That way there was always a chance he might get home earlier than he expected rather than later.

At first he thought that she had lost her toy or it had been broken when she said it had been in an accident. He smiled as she said she had simply left him at home so that she might find him a Mrs.Squishy. "I can help you find one, if you want to." Still thinking that she was talking about a stuffed toy of some sort, he didn't have the slightest clue where they might find one around here, but if she had already found one he assumed she would have some idea. She explained a little more about what stinkies were, but it didn't really clarify things for him much at all. Which was probably for the best; he'd really be confused if he knew she was talking about wolves.
