The early bird had caught the worm, so to speak, that morning. After waking up before the sun rose to a sparkling winter wonderland, Odette had climbed the branches of her trees to reach the yummy morsels at the top. She had found a bird whose plump belly prevented it from leaving its roost and another one whose wing had broken the previous night. She walked back to the waterfall, listening to the roar of the water as it descended into its large and cold pool. Red and blue eyes shimmered with happiness as she turned her head to look at the rest of her home. Such was the life of a happy wolf.

In no time at all, she felt the presence of another outside her borders. Tail began to wag as she caught the scent of a visitor near the first line of trees. She picked up her pace from a slow walk to a slightly faster jog, hoping that it was a friend instead of a foe. Once she broke through the last line of trees, she recognized the familiar dark gray coat. Bicolored gaze met those of the Armada woman and she couldn't help but grin. "Welcome to my home, Athena Armada. What brings you here today?"



"Speech"

It had been quite some time since she had been on any type of diplomatic mission and even this did not feel like that sort of trip. It really just neighborly to say hello to the packs that shared the north with them. Besides that, she had noticed that the borders of this new Glaciem were heavy with the scent of the tan, gray, and black girl she had met in the Mile-High Woods not long ago. She was eager to see if her suspicions about that woman being the new alpha there so she set out to do just that. Athena decided to bring Amalia with her, both because she just wanted to spend some more time with her wife and just show her off a bit. Sometimes she was afraid that Amalia didn't get out enough or have any real friends in Regium besides herself and their sons so she hoped maybe bringing her out on these little social missions would be good for her. She padded through the snow with Amalia at her side, occasionally leaning her head down to give Amalia's cheek a little nuzzle as they walked. Finally she was feeling back to normal since the loss of Vereux and she could easily give all the credit for that to Amalia for being so caring and patient with her. They arrived at the Glaciem border and she lifted her head to let out a howl to call for the leader. They wouldn't have to wait long at all before Odette appeared from the tree line and greeted them with a grin. Well, it seemed her assumption would be correct then! Her tail wagged happy has her split-tone gaze met that of Odette's. "I thought I smelled your scent around here! I'm glad I guessed correctly, it's good to see you again." She smiled and nodded from Odette to Amalia and back again as she introduced them. "Odette, this is my wife, Amalia. Amalia, this is miss Odette Adravendi." She chuckled softly to herself and looked back to Odette, asking, "Am I assuming correctly that you're the alpha around here now?" "Talk" "You" Think
