Why is everything so heavy

Athena couldn't help the disappointment she felt as she continued to watch for Amalia and her mate never came. Part of her knew she wouldn't, but it was still hard to see. If nothing else Amalia usually showed up for pack meetings. To see that she hadn't even come for Leo's howl was hard to swallow. Her shoulders sagged slightly and she glanced down toward her forepaws. It wasn't until she felt Tiburtius sit beside her that she finally looked up again to give her son a small smile. She happened to catch a glimpse of Ara as well as the other woman sat a short distance away and she was glad to see that her new acquaintance was here. More wolves filed in and then soon enough Leo's voice reached her ears. She tried her best to focus on what he was saying, but it was hard. Her mind was everywhere except for here. Athena focused back in when Leo mentioned her name and she gave her leader a grateful nod and a small smile as he announced her retirement. She couldn't help but glance at both of her sons when he spoke of finding her replacement. She knew that Archelus hasn't always been the most hardworking wolf around and she knew that Tiburtius had one paw in and one paw out of Fiori with Finch on his mind, but... She thought it would just be fitting for one of her sons to take over the role she had been in for so long. When Heather came over to speak with Archelus her gaze met his for a moment and she smiled as she looked to Heather for another brief moment. She wasn't sure what the Princess wanted with him, but she certainly wouldn't hold him from the meeting. She stood with Tiburtius and shifted away so they could speak. In the meantime she saw Lionel rush over to Leo, looking very concerned. Her smile faded and she moved closer with her ears perked so she could listen to what was going on. A frown creased her face and she looked to Tiburtius. "Go with them and double check the border." |
