Like herself, most of her siblings wanted to know more about the wolves their mother spoke about. Ember pointed out something she had initially realized, which was that they had three grandmothers, and only one grandfather. It made Clove cock her head, her mind whirling as she tried to decide why that might be. But, as Vendrick asked his question about Sunset Falls, Clove decided it would be best for her mother to give them an explanation, instead of trying to figure it out herself.

Briar explained where Sunset Falls was, and that it was located on a different continent than here. Clove’s eyes grew wide, a smile curling the corners of her lips as she gazed up at her mother. She knew the world was a big place, but hearing her mention a whole other continent was so exciting! Not to mention they had an uncle with a pack there, who would love for them to come visit. Clove could hardly contain her excitement, as her tail whipped behind her little rump. “Don’t forget about me!” She said, wanting to make sure their mother didn’t forget to take her there too when she was older.

As Briar continued, Clove’s excitement slowly faded away. Her tail fell flat against the earth, ears turning outward as she tried to fully understand what their mother was saying. Grandma Resin and Grandma Zee weren’t with them anymore, because they got sick and passed away… which meant they were dead. Death was still a concept Clove didn’t understand, given her young age. All she knew was sometimes creatures got really tired, and closed their eyes to sleep forever…. and it made her feel sad.

Luckily for the pups, Briar moved away from the topic of death to circle back to the idea of meeting their grandparents in Armada. “I wanna go, I wanna go!” Clove exclaimed, fascinated by the idea of visiting Armada and meeting the rest of their family. Someday soon their Granda Tam would return to The Hallows, which meant she could meet her and her husband Kane too! It was all so exciting for the young girl.

Clove nodded her head in acknowledgment when Briar answered Ember’s question. She wouldn’t have been able to guess that their grandmother didn’t know who fathered her pups… In Clove’s mind, only mommy’s and daddy’s should have babies! Which again, was due to her young age and limited understanding of the world around her.

When their mother asked if they had any other questions, Clove shook her head no before shifting her gaze to her siblings. She wondered if they had any burning questions to ask, and in the meantime, she would try to think of some herself.
