ooc: set after her thread with Roman when she gets her tribal mark thing on her hip

Vereux was gone. He had simply left and now he was gone. Athena had spent the last several days making herself accept this fact, forcing herself to think it and mumble it to herself several times a day. She kept herself from leaving the borders of Regium despite her urge to keep looking for him. Slowly the urge faded away and was overtaken by the dull, painful emptiness of loss. She had so much love around her from her children and from Amalia and from her other family members, but some how Vereux's disappearance had made her loose sight of all that love. The loss of her husband had hit her harder than she had ever anticipated.

She wove her way through the trees of the Red Forest, finally feeling the smallest bit excited and hopeful. It was the best she had felt since she noticed Vereux's absence. She glanced back at the fresh mark on her left hip and gave a small smile. It was like the symbol of a new beginning. Turning her split-tone gaze to the bracelets that jingled gently around her forelegs as she walked she sighed, the memory of finding them with Vereux coming to mind. Part of her wanted to be rid of them. They only reminded her of Veruex and their father. But... no. She had grown quite attached to them and perhaps one day she could think of those men that had impacted her life so seriously and think of them fondly.

The Regium heir arrived back at the den that she shared with her children and Amalia and was surprised to find it completely empty. The pups were surely out on another adventure. That made her a bit wary considering the state that she, Amalia, and Talvi had found Vitus in not too long ago, but she wanted them to learn and grow and one of the best ways to do that was from experience. With a soft, thoughtful hum she turned so that her back was to the entrance to the den and sat down just outside of it, gazing out into the trees while she thought of her beautiful wife and wondered what her little, russet-faced woman could be up to.
