Asheila enjoyed the bonfire festival and the getting together for meetings but it was all a little overwhelming for her. She was growing back into a social life but it was still hard being around large groups, most of them wolves she didn't really know. Ever since she came back to The Hallows she had felt just out of place. Even amongst her siblings. She loved them of course, she was happy to be back here with them. But she was struggling with the time of her life she had lost. She was a step, or even more behind them. Not that she was growing old one of these days but she was having a difficult time even leaving the Hallows. She didn't know if it was only time that she needed to recover and actually start her life over. She felt stuck and she did mostly blame herself.

She was getting more comfortable on her own outside the castle walls, during the day that was. The weather and elements didn't bother her much at least. She was used to the heat and the rain when it came. It was just her line of sight that was her concern, and her capability of protecting herself. It wasn't really unknown to her siblings she guessed, but she didn't talk about it. Staying away from the borders and walking along the plain's stream was easy enough for her. She was getting into a routine of it which helped her relax at least. Gentle paws walked along the shallow bank as she moved towards the south borders. She was in no hurry though since she would probably just head back towards the castle after she made the length down. Clearly just a member killing time in the only way she knew how. Or more so, what she was comfortable with. There was always more to see outside but she wouldn't take the chance unless she was with one of her brothers.

Anthea walked slowly along the bank of the stream that ran through the plains, her blue and green gaze scanning the bank for any browning horsetail or particularly tall grasses she could collect for her projects. In between helping with the occasional hunt, doing patrols, or doing fighting lessons with Mercury she had taken to working on her dream catchers in her spare time, but she didn't want to take supplies from the pack's stores to do so. If it was something for the pack she could justify using those supplies more regularly, but since these were just fun crafts to keep herself busy and remind her a bit of home she felt less guilty when she was collecting her own materials.

Today she was trying to take advantage of the onset of Auster's autumn to get some plants while they were on their way to drying out but not fully dead yet. She glanced up at her path to make sure she wasn't going too close to the pack's borders since she had been so focused on the plant life around the stream instead of where she was going. She was surprised to see a gray and black marked woman in the distance walking along the stream as well and moving toward her. She briefly considered turning away from the stream or moving out of the way, but she really hadn't gotten to know anyone in the pack outside of Mercury so maybe this was a chance to do just that.

As she got closer to the stranger she offered her a soft smile. In an attempt to make conversation she asked, "Hey, did you happen to see any good patches of plants or flowers that way? I'm mostly looking for reeds or horsetail."
