She hadn't ventured far from the pack. She rarely did when she was in heat, even though it made her restless and eager to get out and do something dangerous, like chasing buffalo or cliff diving. She was foremost a survivor, always had been and always would be, so she figured the best way to keep surviving was to ignore how much the hormones messed with her instincts and keep to herself without someone like Valen around to be something of a voice of reason. Though hey, maybe she could convince him to go do something fun and crazy with her after all. Being an alpha and a father didn't mean he couldn't play anymore, and having her best friend there would just make everything so much more fun... it was a thought.
For now she was satisfying her restlessness by exploring the dark, foggy, mucky forest that bordered Imperium. It had once upon a time been haunted by some creepy weirdo, apparently, but Cascade had never seen any sign of her despite the horror stories passed around. Disappearing loners, that sort of thing. The sort of ghost story you could never quite confirm because it always happened to some drifter without a name who wouldn't be able to be found even if it weren't true. But it was enough to make it a thrill to explore the lands anyway. Ooooo would the boogie man jump out and get you?
Her ears twitched with a sort of alarmed interest when a sudden crashing of underbrush interrupted her exploration. She froze in place, her ears and eyes straining through the foggy forest to see who - what - might be approaching her. Though adrenaline raised the hair on her back (she had just been trying to spook herself with ghost stories after all) she stood her ground, and her head was tilted with excited curiosity. Ghost stories weren't real, so she knew she was setting up to be disappointed by whoever appeared, but the thrill would be fun while it lasted anyway.

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.
