I Love You, Flaws and All

The days continued to march on as they continued their stay in Auster. There were some things she enjoyed about the southern continent. She enjoyed the plentiful prey, the proximity to Fenmyre and Chimera’s family since they had become quick friends, and the vastly varied terrains were interesting to explore. However, no matter how much she tried to make it feel like home, she couldn’t get the north eastern island off of her mind. The caves and cliffs of the mountainous island had truly begun to feel like home before they left and she had enjoyed being more or less stationary to one spot for a time. Their whole family had enjoyed the island as their home which had made it all the more difficult to leave.

She had vowed to herself that they wouldn’t return until she was prepared to found her pack, but more and more she was beginning to question what was preventing her from building up Elysium now. They had more than enough members to justify formally founding themselves and even if many of them still had work to do on their skills, they were still capable of fending for themselves and providing for the group… so what qualifications was she waiting for? She knew the challenge she lost had shaken her resolve whether she had wanted to admit it or not, but now that enough time had passed to let the sting of her defeat pass she thought that perhaps she was finally ready.

Although she knew it was ultimately her decision to make, she knew that she couldn’t do it without Alastor at her side. She had taken a long walk through the surrounding territories around the Wildberry Grove to get her thoughts in order and confirm with herself that this was what she wanted before she came back to where their family had been residing for a while. Her majestic demon was easy to find, spotting him curled around their daughter while Avacyn tinkered away at some little project she was working on. She smiled as she walked over and nuzzled the top of Avacyn’s head before looking to Alastor and nodding for him to follow. "May I speak with you for a moment, my love?"
