Celebrate the Milestones

Dusk was a little later to arrive than the rest of the bunch. Being a bit older now, tabs weren't kept upon the girl as harshly as they once had been. So, as they traveled, she wandered. They were going to a party, so she should probably bring a gift, right? Before they left the Hallows, Dusk had thought to bring a basket. She had a gift in mind, but would need a way to carry it. Her aunt Iolaire had taught her how to waterproof a basket with an oiled skin and an extra layer of fat, so the dark child had done so. All she had to do now was collect.

As Dusk made her way north, the girl collected fruit of varying types. There were berries, apples, pears, even grapes. She taste tested each to be sure that they were fit for eating, of course. Dusk even found a watermelon on her journey and moved everything to place the green globe at the bottom of her basket. It was heavy, but it would be worth it.

Once her basket was full and she was close to the Armada, Dusk found a cool stream and dipped the basket within, allowing the running water to chill the fruit. She also washed the fruit as well so that it was clean and gleaming. Couldn't have everyone eating dirty food. Then, with some of the cool water still in the waterproof basket, the Carpathius child took the handle between her strong jaws and made her way to the party.

Dusk deposited the basket of chilled fruit on one of the long tables beside the rest of the feast then made her way towards the imposing form of her grandpa. He always stood out among other wolves because of his size and teeth. Dusk leaned up and placed a little kiss on Sirius' chin. "Hi, Grandpa. I brought some fruit for everyone." Rather than move away, the girl seated herself between her grandpa's giant paws much like she did to her father. Though almost fully grown height-wise, Dusk wouldn't be terribly large. Not in comparison to her siblings anyway.
