You, too, are family

The pale-furred woman had decided that, today, she would traverse to the main territory her family called home. The tide was low, the sand that connected the island to the mainland visible. Nirvana trailed along it, her pink pads leaving prints in the grainy, wet element. She had spent much of her time in the Rock Garden, with her companions, and, to her knowledge, she was the only pack member that lived in that territory. Her ears were perked forward, curious as to what her companions would be up to as the morning gave way to the afternoon. It was overcast which was nice for a change since she should have been sleeping at that time of day. She hadn’t slept at all yet, but her mind seemed to be buzzing, awake. Thoughts hummed in her head. Not necessarily bad ones but it was enough to keep her from settling down. The only choice was to find something to occupy her mind. As she stepped onto the rockier terrain Nirvana picked up the pace, her bright red gaze scanning for movement. She had hoped that, by coming to the island, she might be able to interact with more Elysium members. She had sparred with her uncle, talked with her aunt, and assisted the scouts with surveying the land for the raid but, all in all? She didn’t know everyone who lived here. All the family she actually had. She felt like a stranger in her own home and only she could change that. Moving deeper into the territory, Nirvana moved with energy in her step. She wore her feather cape and dagger, though there was really no reason to hold onto either of them in a place she was safe and secure. Still, she liked the cape, and the dagger had uses outside of fighting. Her gaze switched to one of the trees. Not the most effective for collecting branches given its size, but she could potentially trim off some parts to make bringing a good one back easier. She had to continue working on Ridge’s resting place, didn’t she? She slowed, tail swishing thoughtfully at her heels. |
