No worries at all :3 I'm back from IL now (Didn't realize they had no internet and that in rural IL I would have no phone service..) and can post to this thread regularly now <333
The children were getting older now, something that both worried and relieved her. Naniko was glad that she was able to have a little time away from them, a bit of personal time that she didn't have to share with anybody. Her walks along the border had even been infiltrated by the pups, as they had roamed far and wide; one or two would normally catch up with her and walk alongside her as she went, chattering away. Tonight the moonlit terrain was blissfully silent, save the sound of the few singing insects of the season that had survived the last chilly November night. Twigs and leaves beneath her feet crunched with every step that she took, frosted surfaces glittering and reflecting the moonlight back into the Angela's eyes. It truly was a beautiful sight to behold. They had come to Anathema in the dead of winter nearly a year prior, so she had never gotten to see the mountainous territory relinquish its hold and give itself to the chill of winter. The little changes were noticeable and beautiful.
She was on her way down to the ocean, going over already-scented land as she made her way toward the beachline. Since Matteo and Gemma's disappearance Naniko had been extra-vigilant, trekking the borders as often as she could and doing a very thorough job of it. Tonight was no different, but she was finished with her scenting and was hoping to get to the ocean before she got too tired. She wanted to look out over it and rest a bit before heading back to main cave system to go to sleep for the night. She had considered sleeping out on the borders at times so that she could keep a nearly constant watch on it...but had ultimately decided that the action would be too dangerous. If she was sleeping, she was vulnerable...and she would not leave Anathema without an Angela to guard it. She sighed as she continued walking. Hopefully she'd reach the waters soon; her paws ached and a short dip on the cold water would wake her up before the run back home.
