It was an odd feeling, this feeling of loneliness that Vexation couldn't seem to shake. She was home again with her siblings, she played a fairly important role in the pack, but yet she still felt this gaping hole within her. Something was missing, and what was missing she wasn't quite sure. She just wanted someone that she could lean on, that she could care for. Vexation had never really had that, perhaps that was why she was so attached to her siblings. They were all that she had and if she could shower them with all of her love she would but she didn't want to smother them. So she was left to her own devices again and it seemed that when she was alone she could hardly bear it. The leggy woman made her way through the trees, stopping occasionally to glance upward into the trees with mild curiosity. Birds were chirping and there was still a light dusting of mist upon the ground considering it was very early morning. The sun had barely risen and here she was. She didn't get much sleep nowadays so what better way to spend her time then by taking a leisurely stroll? Vex paused though, letting a slow sigh escape her lungs. She just wanted happiness, was that too much to ask for?

Torin was pretty far from his home turf... he wasn't sure exactly what drew him out... maybe he was looking for Derecho and his missing son. Maybe he just needed to get out of the lands that reminded him so much of his wayward wife and son... even with his own kids still inside the pack. And gods was he certain he loved them more than ever, and seeing them lit up his life but... well he couldn't quite get the doubts out of his mind... He'd thought Derecho would have been the one, the only woman who hadn't run from him... and now? Well now he was certain something was wrong with him. So he was far from home, he was aware of the scents of packs he wasn't familiar with as he passed them, giving a wide berth. Until he found himself moving towards willows... so much like his own home. Something about it drawing him in. He could smell another woman, an unknown scent and he wasn't exactly trying to move towards her... but as he rounded a tree he spotted the dark woman and he stopped, his brain stalling as he watched her silently.
