She still couldn't believe that she had convinced Nolan to let her make this trip and she had an even harder time believing that she had made it here with just the slightest ware to show for it. The couple of days leading up to this had felt good. She had been able to wander around Valhalla's territory easily and for the briefest moment she was able to believe she was on the mend. Of course she understood that could not be the case, but she was grateful that she had stabilized for at least a moment. She tried to insist that she could make the trip on her own, but her son refused. At the very least spring was proving to be mild and welcoming to travel. It made the trip up to the northern portion of Boreas slightly easier and more pleasant and she was happy to find that the cold wasn't quite as harsh as she had imagined it would be. There was a nervous fluttering of butterflies she hadn't fully expected as they got closer to where Casso had said the pack was located. She had no way of knowing if Acere even wanted to see her after how everything had ended and with all the time that had passed, but her own curiosity had planted itself in her mind and wouldn't leave her alone. When they reached the border of the pine forest she came to a stop and settled down onto her haunches. For a moment she sat quietly and she could feel Nolan's presence hovering at her side expectantly. She knew he was waiting for her to make some sort of call or move so she finally lifted her muzzle and let out a hopeful howl. Now that he had delivered his mother to the place she wished to go, Nolan pressed his nose to her cheek before stepping away to settle several feet away - far enough away that he wouldn't be listening in on their conversation, but close enough that he would be near by if she needed him. |
