Mind if we chat?

Nirvana had been in and out of her den at the Rock Garden, poking around the lands surrounding Elysium, and yet, the more she thought about her run in with Kaija on Mount Volkan, the more the woman thought about what she wanted. She loved her family, and she knew that she could not bear to simply leave the pack, even if it was to find the soulmate she believed out there for herself. But… perhaps there was a way to have her explorations benefit Elysium. Nirvana had thought hard about it as she patrolled the borders, spent days alone and restless rather than asleep, and the woman knew, as she started to break her routine and grow more restless, that she needed to speak with her cousin. Surely in doing so they could work out a plan together.

And so Nirvana had taken a daytime trip to the island. It sucked, the woman squinting with the light glaring against the snow, but she was determined to find their Matriarch. She could have howled for her, but the woman had wanted to come to the island on her own. A bit of stubbornness at her own weakness in the bright light. Nirvana's tail swayed behind her in thought, a mumble of a curse leaving her lips. Damn it all… this sun wasn’t doing her any favors…
