Softly as she goes

Her journey had been long, exhausting and ultimately draining. To find what she had done at its end also had contributed to her tiredness. She had traveled to what used to be her home, her old pack only to discover it had been abandoned. The scent already fading from the border markers that were unmaintained. It had been with a quiet sorrow that she had penetrated deep into old territory only to find that not everyone had abandoned it. Kiara and her children still remained. She had been heartened to see the small family flourishing even with the dissolution of the pack structure from around her and had offered to catch something for Kiara.

It was late into the night when she finally crossed Cercatori's borders. Once she had done the knot of tension sitting in her stomach loosened partially and she breathed a sigh of relief. The mainly familiar surrounded her, and she relaxed slightly. The secui bound woman loped quickly and quietly, pushing her way through the undergrowth until she reached the human made Thornberry. She paused outside of her door and gave a few minutes over to shifting into her optime form, secui was better for traveling in, it could move her faster through Nova Scotia's terrain.

Silently she sidled through her quiet house, the children were contained within their own room. Her and Temo's bedroom door squeaked ever so slightly and she winced, freezing and listening for any noises indicating she had woken someone. When none came, she shut it, thankfully it didn't make any more noise. She knew he was awake, his breathing was too quick and shallow. The woman unbuckled her thigh sheaths and placed them safely away where inquisitive children couldn't get to them and then sunk down into the bed besides Temo, curling into his body warmth,

It had been a quiet few days while Jace was gone on her exploratory journey to what was once what they had called home. During her time gone Temo had stayed home and worked on a few things that needed some fixing. As the time passed, there were thoughts and memories of some of the happenings that had occurred while they were there. Some were sad memories, but most of them were happy memories and he was glad of that. He knew the reasons why they left and could not argue the logic behind them but it also saddened him that they had to. He hoped that the friends that they left were still doing ok in their en devours.

Whenever Jace goes off on one of her forays, Temo is always concerned for her. He knew that she could take care of herself, however there had been times that she could not and there was always a small part of him that felt bad for him not being there in her times of need. And whenever she was off somewhere, he always worried that this would be another one of those times and that she might not survive.

Temo was in the bed, alone because Jace was gone on her journey. He was laying there quiet not being able to easily fall asleep as the worry that he had for her wove it's dance behind his eyes. It was in that quiet of the night that his ears rotated and picked up the subtle sounds of someone entering their house and padded their way to the bedroom. He could tell that it was his mate and mother to his children that had finally come back to him, their children and her home. And it was with a quiet sigh if relief that he waited for her to join him and when she did, his arm wrapped around her and drew her close to him and whispered into her ear Welcome home my love.

blagh this post is useless

The she wolf sighed and it was part contentment and part frustration at the way her journey had gone. She made herself comfortable in his arms, her mouth pulling into a frown despite his love. If she could get the bad conversation out of the way first then she could rest. But if she left it until morning then she could save him a night of thought and probable upset. In the end it was her own hatred of being lied to that decided her answer,

"I have bad news." She hesitated for the slightest of seconds and finally revealed her news with a sad sigh, "Ichika disbanded and most of them are gone. I found Kiara alone with her kids but that was it. Nobody else came to my call." Jace was not one to beat around the bush most of the time. She stared at the ceiling rather than look at his face, the assumption would run in him as it did in her too. They had destroyed Ichika with their leaving, a pack that started out so strong slowly dwindled away to the barest of members only to have its protector and craftsman leave along with their entire future, the children. She still blamed X'yrin for Ichika's fall and she always would, the selfish nomad had brought about its demise with her actions as surely as slitting its throat with her claws.

She wished she could have persuaded Kiara to leave the fading territory too and join them in Cercatori, she disliked the idea of the young female on her own with her children. Nobody to keep her safe and protected, nobody to help her hunt, it sent a cold shiver up her spine it did. She sniffed quietly, silent now her piece had been said,

The news that she had brought home with her was indeed bad news. His ears folded back onto his skull, but not in anger, only in the sadness that he was feeling after the news about Itchika disbanding. Memories from their previous home paraded around in his head and pushed him deeper into his sorrow. It was where their children were born, and, those that did not survive, buried.

It was not long before his thoughts turned to the possible whys of the old pack disbanding. He did not know it, but his thoughts mirrored Jace's thoughts on this subject. Foremost in those thoughts was it was their fault. That their leaving somehow precipitated the fall of Ichika. After all, between him, jace, and the pups, that was six members that left, and sometimes that could be the breaking point that causes a pack to disintegrate.

The thoughts of others that were in the pack brought his thoughts to the one Jace had mentioned. It was Kiara and her pups that turned his thoughts into concern. Now that she no longer had a pack surrounding her to keep her and her family safe. It saddens me to hear that Ichika is no longer, his voice was quiet in the dark, Kiara and her family did not return with you? he continued with a quiet voice after a moments thought.

Her concern was great and her fur prickled uneasily because of it, a line of discontent that traveled down her spine. But she could understand Kiara's decision for she was a mother herself. When her young ones had been born she had not wanted to leave them even for a moment nor move them from where they had been birthed, not even to a different room of the house so she could hardly imagine moving them several days walk away, it was unfathomable. Temo might not understand this logic because he was male and males were different, they did not have the same instincts as a female, they had their whole own set.

"No. She chose to stay there. She didn't want to move with them so small and young." There was also that Kiara probably felt she was safe where she was so she was unlikely to come with Jace and travel through dangerous territory to get to a place she didn't know of or how secure it was, Jace didn't blame her. She blinked as light suddenly flooded in. The moon had revealed itself from behind black clouds, its presence was comforting like Temo's was. The arctic wolves had always worshiped the moon for as long as Jace could remember back into her pack's history passed down through the stories that the elders had told.

"She said one of the New Dawn people was bringing her food to help."

There was a few quiet moments while Temo thought about the whys that Kiara's reasons for staying. There were reasons for her to move and reasons for her to stay, but he also had a feeling that her mothering instincts would rule over logic when it came to the welfare of her pups. The mothering instincts was something that he was aware of, even if he did not fully understand it.

Temo was keeping his voice low and quiet so as not to disturb Jace trying to relax after her journey, I am not that surprised that she was not willing to return with you. But is good that she has a friend to help her now that Ichika is gone. His thoughts rolled around his head for a moment, She is strong and I am sure she will be ok and do just fine. Could always go check on her again in the future,

With his arms already around her form as they laid next to each other, Temo pulled her in tight to his body and nuzzled her. As he cuddled up to Jace, he whispered into her ear, I am glad you arrived home safe and I love you. Now that she was home, he could stop worrying about her.

Sorry this post sucks

"Yeah I could do. I'll take Dalgina with me, she'll like that, she misses Kiara." The ice queen shifted uneasily against her partner, too much adrenalin ran through her veins for her to settle down at the moment. She moved restlessly and with frustration, unable to stay still. Even though she was laid down her tan tipped ears were still pulled against her head such was the weight of worry upon her ashen shoulders. She let silence fall though in hopes that it could lull her into slumber, she should feel tired enough to fall asleep but she didn't.

With a final irritated sigh she broke the embrace that she desperately wanted to stay in and swung her legs to the floor. Darker paws grasped her white face, it seemed there was a never ending stream of bitterness and discontent always to darken their lives, friends and family lost, oaths broken and people betrayed, it was almost enough to suck her under with the depressiveness of it all. It was times like these when she just wanted to run, it helped her think better to focus her energy onto something constructive, she stood and turned back to her mate,

"I want to go for a run, do you want to come? I can't stand laying there feeling all twisted up."

Yes, both Dalgina and Kiara would like to see each other again. Temo agreed with Jace about her suggestion to include their daughter in the trip if she goes to visit again in the future. Who knows, maybe he would tag along to help make sure Kiara and her pups are ok and for a change of scenery.

Temo's ears rotated and partially flattened and then back up as he worried over Jace and her mood as he could tell she was restless by the way she moved and he could feel the frustration in her muscles and his thoughts rolled through his head as he wondered what it was that was making her worried about something and restless.

He was saddened when she broke the embrace and sat up, but he could feel that something was troubling her at the moment. Temo moved his legs over the side of the bed and sat up next to Jace, no longer able to sleep, knowing that she was sleepless and troubled, Yes, I'll go for a run with you. It will do us both a bit of good to get some hard exercise. he answered her question. It had been a while since he had gone for a good hard run.
