Walk | Talk | Think

It seemed her sad assumption had been right. Aoto had still yet to find a pack to join that would welcome his abilities as a healer and was no closer to gaining the company that he wanted. She might have felt horrible about the hand fate had dealt her, but at least she had Leon and her children to go through it all with. She could not imagine being completely alone now, no pack, no kids, no mate. She had always had others about, always, for years now. To suddenly have that change, to give up her life as she knew it to venture off on the true path of a rogue... It was beyond her ability to cope.

He said something softly, words that she was not altogether certain he had meant for her to hear, and politely she tried to tune them out. She was hardly one to give advice regarding relationships anyway - her own had nearly not happened with as long as it had taken both she and Leon to admit their feelings. She was grateful when he let whatever had been murmured slide and continued, though less so when she heard what he had changed the subject with. She drew in a slow breath, steeling herself for the story that answered his question. Did she feel comfortable telling it? Not exactly. But it was the truth, and considering Aoto had found Vaishya and kept her company until she could arrive Ash saw no way around it.

"Valhalla's gone," she stated, no preamble, no tiptoeing around the hard truth. "My home was taken, and staying wasn't an option." And yet moving had still been the most difficult choice she had ever made. "Leon - my mate - brought us here to stay for a while. I think he might be looking for a new home for us." Her certainty of her claim was not exactly high, but she could only assume. They could not stay like this forever, rogues and wanderers without a permanent home, without friends and safety and comfort. Eventually they would need to find a new place to live. At the moment, she just could not fathom where.
