Lake Day

Before she really let herself dive back into her duties to the pack following her trip to Fenmyre, she wanted to take a day or two just to reconnect with her children and spend a bit of time with them. She almost envied how little responsibility her own mother had in comparison and how much time they had been allowed to spend with her growing up—though she hardly felt like her mother truly wanted that time the way Manea herself did. Her own mother had been solely about duty and strength and little else which was a far cry from how she wanted her own interactions with her children to be. Wanting to start introducing Fiametta to the world beyond their island, she took her fire-marked daughter across the land bridge and toward their recently claimed lake in the early afternoon. The sky was clear so she didn't think there was any risk of the ever present storms that had been bothering them as of late, but she made sure to keep an eye out for dark clouds just in case.

As they neared the lake, she looked down to the young girl at her side, giving her a smile. "Maybe we can collect some of the reeds and cat tails while we're here. I think I've seen Avacyn using them in some of her projects so I'm sure you two could come up with something creative to do with them. And, if nothing else, maybe Irilyth can add them to her healing supplies." The lake was quiet with just the soft buzz and hum of bugs that were hidden in the thick vegetation to break the silence along with the quiet lap of the water at the rocky shore. She was glad that they had decided to claim this land for Elysium. It had been a highlight of their various travels before the pack was established and it really was a lovely addition to their territory. She tried not to guide Fia's path too heavily, instead letting the inquisitive pup wander as she pleased—just with a heavy dose of supervision.
