And let the words fall out. Raising three pups without Gargoyle as present as Ocena would have liked had given Ocena a new view on what it must have been like for Mercianne to be raising her impressively large litter without Awaken at her side. As her trio had grown older, raising them had been less labor intensive, but Ocena still had her work cut out for her keeping an eye on all of them and making sure none of her children were injured. Even as she did so, she knew that her older children were drawing further and further away. It was the natural order of things, but it was rather saddening all the same. However, right then was not time to dwell on her own problems. No, what Ocena wanted to do was check up on the lovely white female that had watched over her own birth, despite being quite pregnant at the time. Ocena owed the female a great deal for that, and intended to help even things out just a little. Not because she disliked owing the female, but simply because it was the right thing to do. Ocena had less to do, and now could offer Mercianne whatever assistance she so desired. Raising as many pups as Mercianne had on without her mate could not be easy, and what Ocena wanted to make clear was that she was not alone. No, Mercianne had all of the Snow Rogues to offer whatever assistance that they could to aid in the raising of her pups. They would all help, of that Ocena was certain. Though they were no longer a pack, the wolves that had continued to stick together after their pack had been uprooted would form bonds stronger than ever when their trials were over. Of course, Ocena wasn't sure that the trials would ever be over. Trials were a part of life, and all they could do was their best. Ocena breathed a light sigh, a slight smile crossing her features as she drew closer towards the shoreline. Her own pups were dozing, and though Ocena wasn't sure how long that would last she had decided to head towards the water and summon Mercianne to her side to converse with the female. Things had changed a lot since Ocena had met the female the first time. She had grown more mature, less afraid of what others had thought of her, and Mercianne had grown as well. Ocena fancied that they were friends all the same, though they had talked little lately. It was time for that to be remedied, however. With that thought, Ocena tilted her head back and let a light howl escape her maw, one that called for Mercianne to approach Ocena's side. As the howl tapered into silence, Ocena settled in to wait, her good eye focused on the waters as she watched them surge against the beach not too far from her paws. At the moment, she was reluctant to get her paws wet; the nip that the rapidly cooling air possessed was enough to assure Ocena that she didn't want to get in the likely quite chilled water.
