[Exploring - God's Garden]

Things were slowly settling into place. Imogen had spent a couple of days seeing if she could find Jiro but hadn't really made much effort to leave Auster in that time. Some part of her recognized she should stay close to her new home for now. At least until they had more members, until they were more stable and maintained. But she'd also have been lying if she said some part of her hadn't hoped that maybe Jiro could have been a part of that effort... She knew he had his own family and pack... It was a silly hope really.

Her search having been fruitless once again she'd finally turned back home. It was time to at least get herself familiar with where she would be returning to. Imogen was throwing herself into sticking her nose into each nook and cranny she could find, definitely not trying to distract herself from her silly little hope and her disappointment it didn't seem likely to be coming true any time soon.

Imogen started at the farthest northern edge of the territory, taking the time to familiarize herself with the shared border with the Hallows and figuring out where their lands ended and Norad's began. The flora was relatively sparse here. Sparse by the garden's standards at least so that still meant the grasses were tall and flowers added splashes of colour at irregular intervals. Once she was satisfied with her understanding of their borders she turned her attention southward. Towards the thicket.

Such a heavenly view

Trixy was busy all the time now it seemed. But there was someone she wanted to make sure she had time for, her sister. They were the last Ravenwoods Trixy knew of in Ardent. There had been a doubt in the back of her mind though on if Beau was proud of her, or if he was ashamed it was his adoptive daughter that had this sort of drive. She had the drive and the want to help the world, to better it.

She needed to see how Genny wanted to proceed in their new home and discuss the future of Norad as Trixy saw it. So with that goal in mind Trixy moved to find her sister, Frank left near her hut, and Charlie lazily scouting the borders. It helped to have so many friends.

She found Genny as she was turning towards the thicket and bounded to join her with a grin. A bump of her shoulder aimed for the the other girl's left front leg as she pulled up next to her. "Morning Genny. Hope your liking it here." Her tone upbeat and of course friendly. She didn't feel like she needed to be formal with her sister like she did the rest of the world. She fell in stride with her though to walk with her much taller sibling.

The uneven terrain had caught Imogen's attention next. Strangely smooth stones inset into the ground dotting the landscape. Overgrown sure but something about their placement spoke of intentionality. Who or what had placed them? Imogen's musing was interrupted however by the approach of her sister.

Tail beating the air behind her Imogen nudged Trixy back when her older sister bumped against her leg. Even with all the confusing feelings playing inside her, Imogen could easily find herself cheered up by her family. Even if it was just the two of them now. She was glad for the company, maybe she could even pick Trixy's brain about her various questions... Even if it turned out her sister knew about as much as she did about the stones.

"It's pretty." Imogen said by way of expressing how she felt about the choice of pack land over all. It was. Verdant and bursting with colour Imogen could see herself getting lost easily in the over growth. It would certainly be easy for anyone to get lost in it but her shorter sister especially. Maybe that was a strategic choice though, the flora would provide good cover if they ever needed to hide or sneak around. Imogen took a moment to look at one of the clusters of flowers. Large golden and red heads, she didn't even know the name of any of them, maybe she'd need to rectify that. "Probably be pretty useful if we get any healers." Slightly careless words maybe but Imogen didn't tend to think too hard before she spoke. "I was a little surprised you didn't take the falls or the dam though. Kinda still think of em' as home..." Imogen trailed off. She had complex feelings about those places now and frankly didn't really want to get into it. She'd rather avoid having to process those emotions at all if she could.

They were well and truely in the thick of the plants now and Imogen slowed, carefully pushing her way through it, trying to make a clear path through for her sister. Not that Imogen wasn't struggling somewhat herself. She wasn't exactly tall either... Just taller.

The greeting her sister gave her matched her own energy and Trixy was more than happy that even though she'd been out doing adult things while her siblings grew that there was still affection for her returned. All she had wanted was to make sure they had a safe home and to make them a new one after Norad's fall. Trixy had accomplished that, but it was just the two of them now.

Trixy nodded to Genny's opinion of the garden and smiled at her as she spoke of healers and their home territories. "The gardens are special to me, I met Gavaroche here when he was lost. He is a great healer, and maybe when he returns from his spiritual journey he will join us here. But I do intend to have more join us soon." She kept pace with her sister as her sister took in the place and familiarized herself with the gardens. "I intend to claim the falls as our secondary territory. The fishing there is a key to the survival of Norad, as for the Dam, I wish to not box in the hallows to our north, as their leader and I have an alliance. But enough about my political talk, what about you Genny?" a grin on her face as she looked up to her sister. She really did want to know more about what her sister wanted in life and where she wanted to rank one day.

"What rank do you want to aim for? Where do your interests lie? Iknow I haven't been around as much for you as I should of been with my ambition to raise Norad again, and I'm sorry for that." she truly did feel bad that she hadn't been around when Tanelan left and Billy and them had also left. Their family had scattered to the wind and she hoped they were all eventually going to make their ways here. Maybe Genny had made friends though in her time and she would be happy to see those friends join them here.

"Talk"
Say come on and show the world who you really are
