She had left the meeting quietly while Valen tested a new warrior, and would meet up with Lysis Armada later for their patrol, and would track down the exuberant Ash for lessons, but for now she had other things to do. Things that involved a bit of brooding introspective thought. Why? What did she have to brood about? Everything in her life was going really, really well. She had her kids, she had her friendship with Valentine, her rank, and she got on really well with everyone in the pack. So what was missing? What should be there but wasn't?
She had spent quite some time poking at it like a sore tooth, long enough for the season to turn, and finally she came to a simple conclusion. She was going to keep brooding introspectively thinking until she spoke with Valen. There was just no avoiding it. When Neios had left, and she'd tried to run off her hurt and her anger, Valen had been there when she'd come home and needed him. He'd let her sleep in his den with him rather than leave her alone, and that was what she needed now. Not sleep, but... Valen.
A friend.
Tilting her head up, she sent out a questioning invitation for him to join her in the Orchard.

Cascade's "baby daddy" (Valentine) and her children (Angelus, Seraphim, Evangeline, and Chaos) are allowed in any of her threads, regardless of whether or not they are marked private. Because they are all special rays of sunshine.
