After Balthier's official and emotional departure from the pack she had focused in even more firmly on making a home for herself here in Fenmyre without him. She continued to remind herself about what Satira had said about him and his decision to leave her here and in turn tried to do whatever she could to make sure she didn't slip back into the feeling of being a burden to this pack that he had left her in. When they first joined Fenmyre she hadn't felt the fear that she would just be a hindrance since Balthier had always cared for her and made sure that he could cover for both of their needs, but now she wanted to make sure that she could pull her own weight and make herself a useful part of this pack that had become her home regardless of her brother's presence in it. Chimera had made it obvious that the pack could provide anything she needed to her regardless, but it made her feel more independent and more capable than she had ever felt before whenever she was able to add something to their food stores or lend a paw on odd tasks from time to time.
Today she had been recruited to help clear out the space where they intended to build a large community den out in the recently acquired cedar forest and she walked out that direction along side Cerberus and Reila. She had interacted with Reila more than Cerberus simply because of the shared friend in Erys, but she didn't know either of them particularly well. She understood that that was going to be the common theme for most wolves in the pack as she continued to branch out and get to know more of her pack mates. As it was Erys was really the only wolf she was close to now and she supposed she was more comfortable and friendly with Chimera after he helped her get her new bungalow set up. Aside from them everyone was still a newer face to her since she had spent so much time either alone with Balthier or secluded to herself up until he left. Still, she was excited to be included and happily trotted along beside the other two wolves as they neared the future building site.
She turned her attention to Cerberus as he explained what they would be doing first—mentioning the logs and stones that could be gathered up and consolidated off to one side and the weeds that could be pulled from the space as well. She nodded in agreement and then turned her sapphire gaze toward Reila as Cerberus went off on his own to start working. She exchanged a smile with the other woman and then followed her lead over to one of the logs, taking to one end while she handled the other so the two of them could team up to roll and push it out of the way. She strained a bit after a couple of them, but luckily none of them were in a big rush to accomplish the task at hand so she didn't feel like she really had to worry about pushing herself too hard. She still didn't try to move anything on her own just in case and mostly just kept to whatever task Reila was working on so that she and the gray and tan marked woman could accomplish the heavier tasks together.
Once the logs and stones were taken care of and neatly organized off to one side, the attention moved to the weeds and stray shrubs that were encroaching on the space that they wanted to build in. Cerberus led the way to where they could start their work and she took up the task of gathering up the weeds and such as Cerberus and Reila dug and pulled them free. Whenever another one would land on the ground beside one of them she could take it and carry it over to a slowly growing pile off to the side near where the supplies they had gathered were. It was a slightly lighter task, but it was a welcome break of sorts after the more muscle-intensive task of moving the larger objects. Her physical well being had certainly improved by leaps and bounds since she was a weak, sickly pup, but she still felt like she had to be careful about how much she did or how far she pushed herself. It was disheartening at times to see others do so much when she felt like she constantly had to hold herself back to keep from exhausting herself, but she just reminded herself that at one point she could barely walk a few feet from the den even with Balthier's help. In comparison, at the very least, she was doing very well.
