Laeta was curious about the overnight shift in season. As she gently padded down the stone staircase on bony, cracking limbs, her gaze flickered to the falling leaves and slightly less chilly breeze that had once been the peak of winter. She frowned softly, brow knitted as a few orange and yellow leaves blew into the stony corridor. Mel lumbered a few paces behind, muttering something about the strangeness of the seasons and how it reminded him of..well, you-know-what. Laeta continued onwards anyways, curious to see the scenery outside the castle. Might as well, anyways, when there wasn't slush squelching beneath her paws and her joints weren't stiff with pain. The bony woman emerged from the castle's awning, keeping a light pace as she crunched the autumn leaves beneath her paws. How strange..how strange indeed. It was like they'd traveled back in time. Hopefully it was just an isolated phenomenon..and nothing more.

Her approach to the iron gates offered a surprise - a moss and umber-pelted girl, a young pup, seemingly frustrated at the gate being closed. Laeta's expression immediately relaxed, instead a wide, cheerful smile lighting her lips. She padded closer to the child, lowering her head and saying gently, "Oh, hello little one. You're Artorias's and Briar's child, yes?" She paused, her eyes drifting towards the gate that stood so high for the child. It seemed she wanted to explore, and well, knowing how energetic children could be and how quickly they got bored, she couldn;t get herself to refuse. "Hm. How about this - as long as you promise to stay within my sights, would you like to take a short walk outside the castle?"

"I'm Laeta, by the way. What might be your name?" She then asked, tilting her head. Her badger quietly stood next to her, offering a polite bow. "A-And I'm Mel. Pleasure to meet you, child."
