Summer Sunder

Adjusting to pack life hadn't been as difficult as she had feared, but the fact that she had more than just herself to think about was a big change of pace. For the first few days she was able to keep herself busy just learning the lay of the land and finding her way around. At least she enjoyed the navigation aspect of things so it didn't feel tedious to map out the Ravine and the Lake for herself. Of course, that was only when she wasn't spending time with Iroh and it was sometimes difficult to peel herself away from his side. She didn't want to prevent him from taking care of his own work and at some point she would need to find her own footing around here as well so putting a bit of space between them wasn't a bad thing during the day. It made coming back home in the evening all the more enticing and gave her a motivation to do good work while she was away from him.

Once she was pretty comfortable with where to find everything she started to really dive in to where she might fit in best in the ranks. She knew Eligos had made his recommendation of what path she might fit in, but with so many options she really tried to dabble in a bunch of different things to see what might stick best. She did a bit of hunting, a sampling of a patrol, played around with some crafting, spent some time analyzing the weather patterns... anything and everything she thought might come of some use. Her biggest fear was that the other wolves in the pack might view her as just Iroh's mate. She was proud and thrilled to be with him, but she wanted more than that and she didn't see anything wrong with thinking that way.

However, if she was being honest, she was going a bit stir crazy. This was the longest period of time that she had ever spent in one place and while that was a good thing in many ways, she still slightly missed all the miles she used to travel and the sights she used to see. She knew she wasn't trapped here by any means, but she also didn't want to just run off on her own so soon after joining. That was why when Iroh called for her from a place that was very distinctly not their den it made her ears perk with interest and her head pop up to listen. She had no issue with abandoning the project she was working on in order to take off at an easy jog in her love's direction, finding him fairly easily after a few moments. She spied the bag he was carrying and easily noticed the fact that he was right in the path in order to head down to Auster. A grin pulled at her lips as she trotted over to him, her tail wagging gently behind her. "You look like you have something up your sleeve, handsome," she commented with a chuckle before giving him a light kiss, her sapphire gaze gleaming with curiosity.
