Sibyl sorted through the various bits and pieces of plant life that she had collected as she set them out around a portion of the cave they had been living in. She moved with practiced motions that she thankfully didn't have to think about too throughly as she placed some of them into neat piles and others into evenly spaced rows so they could continue to dry out in order to store and keep them more easily. It was the first time she had really gotten to collect any decent amount of herbs in quite some time, but somehow the methods and the ritual of setting up her stores was still so deeply ingrained that it was impossible for her to not do it exactly the same way she had been taught so long ago. Those wolves that had raised her had been so strict and studious, but they had been the experts in their crafts. It wasn't something she aspired to follow, but they had certainly left their mark on her none of the less.

Finally satisfied with how things were organized - at least for now - Sibyl took a step back from it all with a soft sigh. She couldn't get Fel out of her mind. Even though she tried to distract herself with collecting herbs or messing with Azriel or investigating their surroundings... none of it seemed to make a dent in the impression that Fel had left on her. It seemed like every time Fel went back to her pack she was left wondering when the dark coated woman would return. The idea had been planted in her brain that they could follow her to this place called Aerie and it only felt tempting or enticing when she knew that Fel was there. The idea of being in a pack of any kind again wasn't exactly the most pleasant of thoughts, but she also knew that her experience of living in the pack of healers was very different from what Aerie probably was. That didn't really make the idea any less concerning to her, but... perhaps for Fel it would be worth it.

Turning away from her work, she went back outside into the cool autumn air and easily spotted Azriel's dark form waiting among the falling leaves. She watched his back for a moment while her mind wandered back to the day that they met and the moment that had shifted her life so drastically. She still thought that her irrational decision was still one of the best she had ever made, but it had certainly put her onto a much more uncertain and sometimes violent path. Padding forward, she slipped up beside him and settled at his side, leaning her much smaller frame into his. She looked up at the falling leaves as well, not breaking the silence or looking at him just yet. She knew that no matter what she wanted to do she couldn't do any of it without him. Like it or not, their lives were tied together now and any decision she made had to be in line with what he wanted. After a few moments she finally shifted her lavender gaze to find his silver eyes, looking up at him thoughtfully. "Where ever you're going... take me with you," she commented softly after a beat of silence, a slight smirk pulling at her lips as her words echoed what she had told him the night she had escaped the confines of her former life with him.
