It was hard for Ara to keep her spirits lifted in the midst of winter. At least in the warmer seasons she had more to look forward to; herbs had begun to flower and the land was all-around more pleasant. This cooler weather was much less pleasant for her, giving her less to do and more time to think - something she despised lately. The sound of Leo's call, thankfully, was a welcome distraction from her somber mood. Though meetings had never been her favorite, mostly because she was unused to being around so many wolves, they did alleviate some of the loneliness she had grown accustomed to as of late.

Instinctively she found herself heading toward Athena - she'd spoken to her recently, and knew her better than most others here, not that she knew her terribly well - though settled a fair distance from her still as her gaze settled on Leo. She was curious as to what he had to say today. The pack had been quiet for awhile now, though that wasn't necessarily a bad thing, was it?
