Saying that life without Ara, and without her sons was lonely would be a wild understatement. Days had blended together into a seamless, bland pattern - seasons passed, and nothing changed. Though she grew older, she felt as though she'd been standing still as time passed her by. It'd been some time since she'd wandered far from Fiori's territory, and with the slight chill of winter slowly passing by, she felt invigorated enough to begin scouting out herbs once again. Many would not be blooming yet, though some often did bloom this soon in the season. Her wandering was rather aimless, though she rarely found herself at a loss for how to return back home - today, it seemed her paws had brought her to the Redbud Nook.

The forest was still young, though seemed to be growing with each year that passed. She'd only visited it a pawful of times, and but today the scent of budding redbud flowers filled her with warmth. A faint smile appeared, brief but true, as she passed by one of the young trees. The floral scent here, mingled with earth and bark, was enough to mask the traces of visitors that had once passed through. But one scent in particular was quite strong, and her head would lift slightly from its low position to sniff at the air, tasting for it. A few long strides brought her to see him, quite a ways off in the distance, and her posture - which was already quite neutral - became even more so, her tail curling deftly near her back paws and her head dipping to the ground again. The last thing she wanted, ever, was a fight.
