Housewarming

She of course knew that they didn't need a formal invitation to come visit her family, but it felt extra special to not only be invited and expected following the nice invitation they received from Keahi but also to be taking a trip as a little family for the first time with her, Artorias, and Zeph. It was certainly a long journey to make their way all the way up to the other end of Boreas and it made her long for the days when the Armada was just around the corner once she made it across the bifrost. The grassy plains of her old home would always have a bit of a soft spot in her heart, but she was excited to see what it was that had attracted her father and brother to this northern region. Besides, it meant they were going to get to show Zeph a whole different part of the world and considering how much their avian son enjoyed exploring and seeing new places that was reward enough for making the journey!

The mountains began to rise up in the distance and soon enough after that they began to pick up on the familiar scents of her family's pack. She smiled with a gentle wag of her tail as Artorias pointed out as much with his declaration that they had made it. Stopping the alpaca that was pulling their cart and making sure Zeph climbed out of the cart alright, she went to stand next to Artorias while he called for everyone, giving him a grin as he leaned into her side and his tail entwined with hers. Tipping her head up, she pressed an affectionate lick to his cheek before looking out into the mountainous, forested land ahead of them and waiting eagerly for the familiar faces of their loved ones to appear.
