Emberwood Winter!

She loved this season most of all, it was when hunting was so much easier for her due to her white coat. She loved the snow underneath her paws and she loved to flick some up with her tail and try and catch it in her jaws. In fact that's what she was doing at that very moment before slipping into the pillowy white snow.

Grezig was wandering the snowy woods with no particular purpose. She was much calmer and less depressed than she had been in a long time, and that probably had to do with her recent encounter with Kavik. She smirked at the memory as she continued walking, unaware of where she was going. She’d already patrolled the borders, refreshing them along the way; she’d also checked what caches she had managed to find, though there were many she didn’t know of, since she had not been a member of Uaine Gorsedd upon its founding. Now there was really nothing to do.

She stopped when she saw a young white wolf ahead of her, playing in the snow. An eyebrow lifted in judgment as the girl tried to catch snow in her mouth. “What are you doing?” she asked, criticism clear in her voice. This wasn’t some young pup. The girl was young, but too old to be playing in the snow like this, at least in Grezig’s accusatory mind.

She felt the woman's tone and immediately stopped doing what she was doing and looked at the woman. "Oh uh I was admiring the snow. I hadn't seen it in so long. I was simply enjoying it." She was being honest and didn't really see the problem with it.

Grezig kept the accusatory look on her face as the girl explained what she had been doing. She looked at the falling snow, the snow on the ground, and then back at the girl. “You can enjoy it without making a fool of yourself,” she said. And then she realized that she kinda sounded like a bitch. “I mean…” She tried to backtrack. This girl wasn’t her daughter or her charge. “You can do what you wish, but…” But I’m still gonna judge you for it.

She sighed and sat down, moving on from that topic. “I am Grezig. I’m relatively new. What is your name?” She wanted to make it a point to get to know all of her new packmates, something she had failed to do at Rusalka and still regretted. If she was going to be here for any length of time, she needed to make connections with someone other than Kavik.

She had a smile on her face at first but once the female spoke again her mood immediately sunk and she looked down at the snow. "Oh...sorry." Deep down she was a little hurt but tried not to let it show.

She then spoke of her name and Sativa looked back at her once more. "Hi, I'm Sativa. Nice to meet you."

Grezig tried not to think about the hurt look on the girl’s face. She’d been acting idiotic, and Grezig had only pointed that out. The girl was nearing adulthood and needed to learn how to act like one. Is this how you will be with your own children? The question came unbidden to her mind. Force them out of their own childhood early because you didn’t have one? Grezig shook her head, trying to ignore the guilt she felt. “So,” she began, to start some kind of conversation. “How long have you been in Uaine Gorsedd?” The girl was young, so Grezig wondered where her parents were, and where she had come from before.
