After meeting Bluemoon and hearing word that there was someone in Fiori with markings similar to her own, Saffron had become curious and decided to go looking for the man. She wasn't sure what caused her to become interested in finding someone that might be related to her, but something from within pulled at her. Saffron still remembered her mother, even though the woman had left their family so early on - she didn't miss Limno, in fact she still harbored bitter feelings about her mother. She remembered her features well; she saw Limno in herself any time she saw her own reflection. Memphis had resembled her quite a bit as well. Her cousin, too, had shared similar qualities, most noticeably the white eye patch. It seemed to be a trademark of their bloodline, and Saffron didn't know whether to embrace it or reject it. She knew too little, and cared too little. After all, family had been a fleeting concept in her young life.
It would seem that today, the girl craved answers to inner turmoil, or at the very least, she wanted to connect with someone. She'd wandered around the borders of Fiori, where Bluemoon came from, and where this other wolf apparently lived as well. Now, she was exploring territory that was unclaimed, wondering how she might come across the wolf she was looking for. As luck would have it, the man was wandering the same lands as she was. In the distance she could see a wolf running down the side of the river, and even from here, she could tell he fit the description she'd been given. Deciding to give chase, the girl took off, trying to keep her footing on the soft and uneven ground. The man seemed to have his nose to the ground searching for something, so she was lucky to have time to catch up.
Saffron kept running until she could howl lightly to alert the other wolf to her presence. Hopefully he would notice and slow down, or turn to face her. "Wait up!" she called out when she was close enough, "You're just the wolf I've been looking for!" She couldn't wait to get a good glimpse at his face, and she was curious to see if he would recognize her markings, as well.

The girl smirked with satisfaction as the fox-coated male stopped what he was doing to acknowledge her. She trotted forward until she was standing in front of him, where she planted her paws, white-tipped tail swishing back and forth. Seeing him close up now, her silver eyes scanned him carefully. She looked over his white eye patch, the shading of his face and ears. She could see the resemblance that he bore to her, as well as to her sister and mother, and the cousin she'd met long ago as a pup. She grinned widely, although her eyes held on to their cold demeanor, as the look of confusion spread upon the male's face and he expressed his shock through words.
Blinking slowly, Saffron nodded, opening her eyes to meet his duo-toned gaze. "Yes, you're definitely the one," she said with certainty, "I met a wolf named Bluemoon. He said there was someone in his pack who had the same eye patch as me." She paused, allowing several moments to pass so that her words would sink in with the male. Her weight shifted from one paw to the other, and she parted her lips to speak again. "My mother had the same marking, as did my sister," she continued, "I even had a cousin, too, but... I haven't seen any of them for a long time.." Her last few words were spoken more quietly. She cleared her throat as she fell silent, realizing there was some pain twisting her heart as she spoke, something she hadn't experienced or thought about for a long time now. Was this why she'd been so eager to seek out this male? It was quite possible that he was her relative, and with her mother being murdered, her family split up seasons ago,
she was curious about any possible connections she might have. She wanted to know more; was there a reason her family had become so dysfunctional? What was the history of her lineage?
