Hey There, Honey

Her travels that winter had awoken a desire in her that she hadn't previously realized existed, to be around others and not just her two companions. She was a fairly self contained wolf, but... she still had missed the casual companionship between wolves. Wolves were by nature social creatures, drawn to one another and a pack environment, and despite having lived all but solitarily her whole life Corbie found she was no different in that regard now that she had tasted it. Working beside Ignis as they'd hunted so often together this winter had been achingly like working alongside Tornach, though the dynamic was quite different than the guardian-ward dynamic between her and the man who'd raised her.

When she had assured herself that the year's lambs were healthy and growing well on the spring grass, and the bees had been seen to for the time being, she had set out to seek wolf-society. She had briefly considered looking into joining a pack so she didn't have to look for company, but none of the packs held more appeal than her own lifestyle. Anywhere she joined, she'd be giving up her ways for another's, and she didn't want that. She didn't want to move away from the plains, to another's home, to live the life they lived. The vague plans she'd contemplated during her winter journey were slowly beginning to solidify into something more concrete.

Taking a break from her travel, Corbie lay basking in the sun, enjoying the warmth baking into her pelt, listening to the calm drone of a swarm of bees somewhere nearby. Out of habit, she looked through lazily slitted eyes to see if she could spot them. She couldn't very well tote a swarm all the way home, so these bees would need to find a perfect new home on their own.
