(337) ohai, i backdate this to july 6th as discussed cuz can.
Lilin shuffled her feet in the rippling water that restlessly encircled her ankles; a guilty pleasure on a hot, sunny day. She had always been fond of the Grand Lake and its breathtaking beauty- as suspected by the Virding, Vinatta's lands had been blessed by the land wights. Although she would have wanted nothing more than to see one, their imperceptibility did not nullify their existence. Miskunn had done well as the pack's Godja, allowing the Soulstorm heir to carve Azathoth's flawed beliefs into a bigger, better religion. The road to redemption had been full of hardships - all of which she'd overcome thus far.
A chocolate lock whisped by her ear, carried by nature's scented sigh; a mixture of pine needles and wild flowers. Lilin took it all in with a deep inhale, delighting in the simple pleasures of life. A familiar floral perfume flowed through her nostrils with each breath, as it had every day since their arrival. Weeks prior, she'd been able to circle the entire lake on her afternoon walks but then a wind of change had blown their way, barring the western side of their most important landmark. Another group had settled there, their scented claim confining Vinatta to the seaside section of the Wabanaki Coast. She wasn't pleased about it, not quite understanding why a pack would be so bold as to settle this close.
While Saul had suggested not to stray in their direction nor start an argument over a claim that was technically legitimate, Lilin couldn't help but wander closer and closer. She had expected to run into one of them this far north, and not a resting passerby. Lilin froze momentarily, nose twitching with the potent smell of sage emanating from the ebony female and her grazing companion. The Virding couldn't very well turn back at this point, so she offered a hesitant wave of her hand in greeting. Small-talk would surely ensue and then both women would part, as was customary when crossing paths with a stranger.
