Like a chain forged of many different metals

This looked lonely! <3

The world had seemed right and quiet to Kaskara, even though she and her brother both felt that it was the calm before the storm. Instead of worrying about that, though, she focused on the positives. Her family was whole and healthy, she was in a relationship with a strong and loyal man, her brother's pack was growing slowly, and the Nova territory had treated them well with its protection from the season's unusual storms.

Today Kas wondered about their newest member, Aro. He said he was a maester, and while she assumed she knew what it meant, she really had no idea, at least not in-depth. So she sought him out, following his trail to and fro, finally approaching him as he lay covered in dirt near an old fox-den, whose mouth now looked much wider than it should have. Kas smiled, though, and paused a few yards away. "How are you, Maester Aro? Settling in okay?" She seated herself there, hoping to get to know him a bit better.
