Ocean's Breath Plateau i 'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night

All welcome! She hasn’t passed the borders yet.

While returning to Moonglow, she noticed @Samani's scent. She stopped, intrigued, until she remembered her sister's intention to set up a village by the sea. Quickly, she made the decision to make a detour and visit.

She began to decipher the pack's various scents as they came to her, and there was one that quickly caught her attention. The aroma of pregnancy was present. Her heart leapt—was she an ajâtsuk? The possibility wasn’t completely out of the question. Samani and Rodyn had gotten engaged last winter, and marriage and children were the things that often followed.

“Oh, Saaa—“ she felt a tickle in her nostrils, and she scrunched her nose to try and prevent the inevitable sneeze. She opened her mouth to speak again when she felt the coast was clear, but she sneezed instead. “ACCCCCK—“ she wheezed. ”AAAAAAAHHHCCCCC—aaaaaaaaaaaamniiiiiiiiiiiii!” It was a complete disaster of a call, but it was summoning nonetheless.

Rodyn heard the strange call and amused curiosity colored his thoughts as he walked towards it.

A small smile on his face when he made it to the borders. This was one of Samani's sisters if he wasn't mistaken. Though he hadn't known her well. She reminded him of callyope.

He dipped his head. This man greets you.

Rodyn appeared, walking with an air of authority that she admired while he approached.

“This woman greets you,” she returned, sniffling as she dipped her head. She pulled back a step, tipping her head back to get a better look at him and actually see his face. He was much taller than she remembered. “Rodyn, yes?”

Rodyn had grown into himself with first the bride price journey and then his journey here to moontide. He was sure life would force him to grow again too.

Yes. You are on of Samani's sisters. he had to dig deep for the name he'd been given. Ariadne?

He wasn't sure if he was right. She had been quieter than all the others.

He remembered! She was impressed.

“Aya! It is,” Ariadne confirmed. “It is good to see your face.”

[size=small][b][/size]“I was on the way to Moonglow when I smelled you and Samani,”[size=small][b] [/size]she explained, a smile toying at her lips. [size=small][b]“I thought I smelt something else, too …”[size=small][b] [/size][/size]She paused, hoping he would confirm or deny before she said anything else.

He chuckled. I am sure Samani would have loved to greet you, but she is resting. We have children coming soon. Please come in. Do you seek temporary stay or would you like a place among us?

He shepherded her into the territory. He wasn't concerned she held any ill intent. And it would do Samani good to see family before the babies came. This was a treasured visitor.

would you like a snack before you see her? I must warn you to eat it before you see her or she may beg for some or well all of it.

This was said with love for his peachy queen.

Children! She grinned from ear to ear and her eyes wet with happy tears. What great news, she said. Congratulations to you both!

She considered his question as he lead her into the territory. I will stay as long as I am needed—and then maybe even longer than that! she teased. Although her original plan had been to return to Moonglow, Ariadne was happy to change her itinerary if it meant helping out Samani and her village.

His offer of food was appreciated, but she politely declined by shaking her head. Food can wait—I would like to see my sistraa, if that is okay with you.

Fade this one? Maybe another sometime <3

He returned her smile though his was a dash bashful. His youth for a moment showing through.

He chuckled. Well, you're welcome as long as you choose and Moontide is open policy to all in Moonglow and Moonspear.

He Knew Vaire was making a pack, but he was not certain of its name yet.

Of course this way. he wouldl ead her to Samani and then leave the sister's to catch up.

Sounds good!

 

Moonspear? Had Sialuk finally claimed the mountain? The silent question hung on the tip of her tongue.

When they arrived at the ulaq, the sisters were left to catch up and share stories alone.

It felt good to be back—she hoped  many days like these with her family.
