Fern sits near the back of the crowd, eyes scanning the faces of the wolves that appear. Worry tugs her lips downward as the time passes the start grows closer. Then he appears… from behind her. She jumps slightly as the he bumps her shoulder, grinning like a mad woman as he rubs his knobbed head across her chest. It appears that the ‘Deer Dad’s Blessing’ Rudyard had gotten after the Long Night is working. Rudy had been laid low by headaches and, when Gwyn had looked him over, found there was two small bulbs of budding antlers. Since then, the headaches had lessened but the areas had grown itchy and the motley boy often rubbed his head against her to scratch his head.

Fern’s tail thuds against the ground as he nods to his family members but slows as he suggests they go to the front. Nodding, the nervous girl stands and walks with Rudy to where his family waits, sitting down to lean slightly into his side. Ocean-hued eyes look to Artorias, the wooden training sword poking up over her shoulder as she settles in to listen to the Aegis. She smiles as Art talks and when he speaks about it being a special celebration for the siblings, she gives Rudy’s shoulder a playful nudge. The speech draws to a close and she watches as Artorias lights a torch, pausing for moment before igniting the bonfire.

With that, the celebration kicks off, wolves moving into clusters to talk or gather food. Turning to Rudyard she says, “Why don’t you get us some wine and food? I’ll catch up with you soon.” Fern offers Rudyard a smile and gentle kiss before turning toward the bonfire and moves over to the pile of candles and torches. Taking a long, thin stick of wood, the gray girl ignites the end with the bonfire. Eyes watch the flickering flame for a moment, pulling up the happy memories of her childhood, of Meadow and her missing young brother. Tears build as she touches the flame to a candle, careful to add the stick to the bonfire before turning her attention back to the candle.

Shrugging off the bag that hangs around her neck, Fern pulls out the small square of cloth that holds the pressed sunflower. Gently, she pulls off the top layer before placing the sunflower at the base of the lite candle. Looking at Meadow’s favorite flower, the tears finally spill down her cheeks. Softly, Fern says, “I miss you mom. I’ll see you again one day.” Eyes turn to look over at the motley boy she is building her life with. Casting one last look at the candle and sunflower, she says, “But not today. I love you mom.” With that she wipes the errant tears away, picks up her bag and moves to where Rudy is, giving him another kiss before anything else.
