It wasn't that it would have been particularly difficult to find Daddy, it was just that this new home had so many things to explore. The pressure that had driven her to up and leave home to come to this place seemed to have bubbled up and evaporated mostly away. She knew that he was around, and she would like to find him.. But there was this whole new home, populated by strange amounts of family that she had never even known existed. The world was so pretty, and the strange combination of feeling both that she had a safe home and the ability to have time on her own was fascinating. Solitude in general was something that she hadn't experienced terribly much of, and she sort of liked it.
Light snow pattered down around Sage River as she padded along. She had really wanted to find her father today, but the weather was muddying her sense of smell as well as the ground around her. Well, so be it. She was in the right area, maybe? He was hard to track down, because of course he didn't really have any one place that he occupied in particular. It had been a strange thing, for her to realize that a lot of the coyotes here smelled like they spent a lot of time in one area - particularly the caves held a lot of strong scents. What was the point of that? Half the fun of going to bed was the hour or two before curling up where you got to pick a fun place to sleep, to create a little nest, to find a nook where she'd see the sun rise over a hill.. The world was so pretty. Why limit yourself to a single place? It was intimidating enough to be part of a pack with a set territory, with borders and probably some set of rules that she was supposed to follow but Sage hadn't cared to figure out just yet.
