I only appeared so I could fade away

Vi had awoken from her afternoon nap to find Desiree and Milicent still sleeping but Absinthe missing, though she wanted to believe that the past was the past Vi couldn't help the arc of sheer terror that shot through her as her mind replayed the fading howls of the white bitch who had forcably claimed her daughter when her daughter had wanted to go with her. Immediatly it had it Vi up and moving, trotting with a heavy dip in her stride as right leg attempted to work of the kinks of the afternoon nap. Luckily Absinthe hadn't left too long ago so her trail was fresh enough that Vi could follow the depressions of her paws across the and and to the dirt where from there Vi had to follow her nose. Her travels would bring her to the orchard and for a time Vi would slow, head tipping back as memories came flooding back. This land had been Cataleya's so long ago, a land that had directly boarderd Covari's... It had been where Vi had first met the woman and found out that not only did her brother live with Cat but that she was an aunt as well. So lost in thought she was she almost didn't notice Absinthe until a sneeze snapped Vi back to reality in time to watch the lazy dance of a butterfly as it fluttered away from her daughter. Ah so she was okay... Vi would smile slowly as she approched her daughter and laughed, "Did you make a new friend?" Vi would ask, head tipping as she came to stand beside Absinthe, weight shifting to she her right leg would only rest on the ground. Absinthe had come fairly far on her own. Impressive.
