Azalea had not heard her brother's call. Out of range and with the crashing of sea water to the shore deafening her even if she were in range. Her fur was itchy, sanding bedding down near the skin to nap at her with each and ever movement. She wasn't entirely sure why she so deep into the pack territory that she hit the ocean on the other side, usually she stayed near the border that met land. Exploring she supposed, no reason she couldn't explore within Valhalla just as much as outside of it. She was alone. No surprise, really. More often than no she was alone. When she was a young child she had always been in the company of family, traveling around with her brothers. But things changed, her brothers left and her mother remained ill for some time longer.

She had become very loud now, her tones excited. Tail tip wagged tentatively as she struggled to not become overjoyed before knowing it that was what had actually happened. Speech, |
