Hold back the fear
She'd gotten in quite a few fights since coming to Imperium. Half led with anger and frustration, half to show that Valentine hadn't wasted his time with her. She wanted to return to her place as a higher person, a Rank where she felt fulfilled for the most part. Someday...someday she'd restore what her father once had, and hopefully it would be in the near future. Leaving the Orchard with Dragon, the boy weaved in and out of her legs as she walked. His large paws were a sign he'd grow as big as she, as would most if not all of them she was sure.
She was simply going for a walk, taking the kids out one at a time to explore different areas, thinking perhaps it would be too much of a handful with all of them at once. Soon though, she would do it. As they walked through the forest, a scent she hadn't smelled for at least a season if not longer crossed her path. Pausing in her steps, Dragon bumped into her leg. Licking the top of his head, she continued on. "Stay close, dear."
Quietly, the pair went ahead. The crunch of snow a possible sign they were drawing close, the scent growing stronger. It wasn't long until she spied him, nose in the snow as he seemed to be doing something? She wasn't sure what, but she was a little happy to see the male. The last time they'd seen each other was when he anf Arian had spat nasty words at each other. Perhaps...perhaps that was when Arian started to lose it. "Vereux? It's been a while." |
