All Welcome 
@Reina was gone, and with her the last of Reverie's confidence in her own leadership. For now she spoke nothing of it to @Everett, but already her plans for the future beyond summer had crumbled to dust. They would still travel, and search for those they'd lost along the way, but at the end of it all they would not return to the Hushed Willows.

Reverie intended to find a pack to take them all in, perhaps Kvarsheim or — or maybe Swiftcurrent Creek would welcome her back? She didn't know. All she knew was that she couldn't protect them, any of them, and she was so tired of trying. So tired of failing.

This time she was not so den-bound, and so she searched. She called out endlessly. Evening found her alone among a spring-kissed wonderland of herbs and other flora, yet she saw none of it. She howled to an empty sky, and prayed to gods she no longer believed in for the safe return of the woman whose love she did not deserve.
