Curiouser and Curiouser

Everything was fluctuating within Ethne since Haydée’s father’s untimely departure. Grief was a strange beast and has consumed each member in different and various ways. It strips away their best laid defenses until, in the end, their souls are left bare for all the world to see. The girl has hated how insecure she has felt since Gav’s death and that, along with other, innumerable worries, is why she is out wandering underneath the moonlight. There has been a restless need to walk lately, and she finds it easier to ponder the future of the pack when her fidgety legs keep her from a peaceful slumber.

The barren landscape that she wanders through is dotted with tall trees an the girl’s small form easily glides through the land while her mind roams far away from here. A soft sound on the breeze pulls the girl’s attention back to the present and she pulls to a stop, her head tilting as her ears perk up in an attempt to catch the noise again. Nose working quickly, pulling in the scents around her and she finds that there is a pack wolf nearby who seems to traveling with a few companions.

Curious to see who else is out here this late, Hay decides to go and introduce herself to the stranger. Soon enough the tall form of a skeletal marked wolf comes into view and she notices that the woman is inspecting one of the dragon blood tree's sap. Careful of the stranger and their cougar, Haydée stops a short distance away and happily calls out, “Hello! Pretty cool right? First time in Dragon’s Blood Grove?” The girl’s head tilts slightly as she questions the woman, a warm smile on her lips as she tries to hide the exhaustion that numerous sleepless nights have left.
