Staycation

Rusalka settled beside her older brother at the border of the pack that she supposed would be their new home. It was still surreal to her to not be on the island and to not be with her parents. This was the farthest she had been from their former home in her entire life. It was exciting and thrilling, but at the same time it made her nervous. Their father had always been so cautious with her, reluctant to let her go and insistent that she stay close. Now he was away with most of their family and she wondered in the trip up here if she had made the right decision staying here instead of going with them. She was so close to him and her mother and she certainly didn't want to stay glued to their sides forever, but she had always thought it would be a bit more gradual than this.

Still, as Cerberus called for Elysium's alpha and she turned her gaze up to meet his, she couldn't help but grin back to him. She had always enjoyed the times she spent with Cerberus and the promise of seeing more of the world with him was too good to pass up. Besides, she didn't like the idea of any of her siblings being entirely without their family and since Cerberus had his sights set on staying with Albion then she could do the same and at least a small piece of their clan would be together. She leaned into him for a moment before she sat back straight again, glancing down at herself briefly just to make sure her fur wasn't a mess from their trip. She had to make a good impression after all!
