The West was a varying expanse of grasslands, mountains, desert and even a bit of ocean near the beaches. This was where Chrysanthe was the most acquainted with, and she had to admit that she felt more at home here than she did anywhere else. The woman would leave the packlands for a a day or two at most, promising her daughter that she would return shortly - she wanted to stretch her legs and let her mind wander for a little while. Although honestly, she was looking for Gideon, her husband was out here somewhere, wasn't he? She didn't want to worry Odette, nor the rest of Valhalla, because with the recreation of Valhalla it wasn't rare for old members to wander off and do their own thing. But Gideon, he... wouldn't leave of his own accord would he? There was a part of her that felt he had no reason to return - returning for her after everything she had failed to do would be a poor choice for a male that wanted a strong mate at their side. But their last talk, he had seemed to want her beside him so badly.

Chrysanthe would sigh, her ears pulled back slightly and her tail hung limply behind her. Her breath would be carried away with the wind, the summer breeze offering a sense of comfort - but with it came a sense of hopelessness as well. His scent wasn't here, it didn't seem to be anywhere anymore. "You're really gone, aren't you?" The female's lips would loosen from their frown into a neutral expression as she let herself fall to the ground with a huff.


It was beneath the gently swaying willow trees that the lupine would take her first break since leaving Valhalla's territories. Although she was melancholy from another scouting with no results, she would stretch and close her eyes, forcing her more bitter feelings down. The scene was a tranquil one - perhaps she could find a bit of peace before returning home. She would have to if she didn't want to turn back upset. Perhaps a bit of company would help her take her mind off of things - but as far as she knew, she was alone...
