Old things made new

They had only been back in the castle a few days and already she was beginning to wish they were still out in their little island paradise. She had no doubt that they would go back soon enough, but she also knew that fall was nearing its end and soon enough Artorias would be home from his training in the Armada and she wouldn't dare miss being home to welcome him. It was also just a relief to check up on the rest of her children and the pack as a whole. She trusted Ulric and his capabilities completely, but there was a small part of her that wanted to make sure the pack remained alive and well. It was the piece of Resin that still lived on around her and it was important to her that it continued on even if she wasn't maintaining a leadership role within the pack. She spent a couple days spending bits of time with her children, catching up with Ulric, and just reorienting herself with the castle, but she always brought Kane with her. Spending time on the island had only cemented their relationship and without really thinking about it he became hers without them ever officially stating it. She couldn't imagine her life without him now and in a way that was enough to make her decision for her.

Today though she did want to do something slightly more official for them, something more permanent in their lives together. They had been floating back and forth between his room and hers and today she decided the floating was going to come to an end. She stood in the room he had stayed in since he had come to The Hallows, one of the furs he had been using draped across her back to carry it up to what would now be their room. "Is this everything?" she asked as he gathered the last of his things, smiling up at him with a gentle wag of her tail. For the longest time she hadn't been sure if she could move back into that room after what had happened and even when she did she hadn't been sure if she could share it with someone else again, but now felt like the right time. She was confident that Kane would have a permanent place in her life and she was willing to share everything with him.
