Family No Matter Where You Are
Nyoom Nyoom [intellect prompt]
She had come to the festival with the others of her pack, the old woman had been able to keep the pace with them despite her advanced age. Tan perched on her shoulder as she walked around, observing the festival goers and the Nomads that milled about trading wares and setting things up and the like. Amber gaze searched the crowd for any sign of her lost children, though they were all older now, they would always be her babies no matter their age. She was disappointed to find they were not here, but she supposed she expected as much. She hadn't seen them in so long, she doubted they were in Boreas at this point, and perhaps they had settled in a pack somewhere or made their own. She thought about where she was in life. Thought about her life in Winterfell. She could certainly say she was happy there, particularly because he had chosen to reside where she had been born and where she intended to die. The pines had been and always would be her home, and after a couple of years of being away from it when her son had Talis, she missed the North immensely. That was her main reason for following Acere and joining his pack. So that she could be home again.
For her, life in Winterfell was relatively easy. She wasn't obligated to tend to all the duties as the others because her advanced age made it hard, but she still did what she could when she was able to. Mostly she babysat the pups, something she had no problem doing and she did enjoy it. She also got to spend alot of time with her boys, something she also missed. Tan ruffled her feathers and uttered a soft chirp, letting her know someone was nearby, but Avalon paid no mind unless she was approached. Her mind was too full of thought right now, and she found herself more distracted than usual. She thought about her time as a loner, thinking about how much she really didn't like it. She was a social creature, and the rogue life was often lonely. For nearly her entire life she lived in a pack whether it was her family's or her own, and not once did she ever miss being a loner. She missed Arian and her pack. She missed her father and the Ancora pack. Sometimes she even missed her own and Dragon's, but Winterfell was just as good and she noticed it even held similar ideals to some of the others.
