It wasn't until she'd started packing that she realized just how much stuff she'd collected since Vinátta's foundation. Most of her belongings had been scavenged from the city- linens, pareos and other little trinkets worthy of her attention. A considerable amount of pelts were also spread out across the main room; all of which had been collected after pack meals and meticulously dried out with sea salt. Lilin moved about with precipitancy, tossing whatever items she could get her hands on into their corresponding piles. The decision had been taken earlier that morning when she'd woken up next to Saul- they had no use for two residences anymore and with their numbers growing exponentially, making room for future Vináttans was a sensible decision.
Her lover had helped a great deal thus far, but a Virding's responsibilities ofen took precedence over personal plans. Reluctantly he'd kissed her goodbye before leaving on his daily patrol of their borders. He would return to her within a few hours, when a pack mate would come and relieve him from his duties. Lilin had every intention of being done before then- most of her things had already been packed into cardboard boxes obtained from the commercial district in Amherst. The heavier pelts, however, proved to be troublesome. Lilin could lift them and transport them over short distances but much to her surprise, she tired out very quickly.
The Soulstorm heir had been catching her breath when a familiar bark rang out from behind the heavy wooden door. ''Ezra! Come in!'' she called out to him, readying herself for the bear hug that often accompanied her friend's visits. There she was, standing amid a collection of pelts, her brushy tail wagging furiously in anticipation of his entrance. It had been a while since they'd last seen each other.
