Fate leads us in unexpected directions

It had been about a week or so since she had come to the aid of a pair of younger wolves near the Elysium border. While she did have other family and pack matters to attend to so she couldn't see to their care herself, she was more than confident leaving them in the capable paws of Irilyth and Ikigai to make sure their injuries were treated and she stopped by occasionally to check on their visitors. She had never intended for Elysium to be a landing spot for wayward souls, but quickly it had become just that and she was not one to question what fate brought her way or when. She and her family were fortunate enough to have more than enough resources to go around so she certainly didn't mind providing for those that needed it.

After finishing up a patrol and doing her usual touch base with Avacyn, Manea made her way through the mountain range paths to the cave where they had made an infirmary and place of healing. It had been Lotus and Terra's temporary home for the time being so that's where she came to check up on them. It was in the afternoon by now and with the winter came shorter days, but there was still several hours of daylight still ahead of them. Manea stepped into the cave and out of the chilly winter wind, stepping into the warmth provided by a burning fire near the entrance. Spotting the pair on one side of the den, she gave them a smile and walked over to join them. "How are you both feeling today?" she asked while trying to get a visual gauge for how their wounds were coming along. She knew Terra got the worst of it, but she wanted to check on them both regardless.
