King Elk Forest What Arrows

For a moment she worried that she had done something he didn't want. He froze when she touched him, and so she oóaway as if that was the reason for his discomfort. He did continue to walk though, coming closer to her and she felt a little relief. She didn't want to make him uneasy after all. Rowan shifted her gaze to him, brow furrowed a bit in thoughtful consideration. "Safer than in Donnelaith." She said gently. "The successor threw me out because of jealousy. My children are safe from her here, far away." Because Aria was the only one that she thought would cause them any strife. Her face shifted when he explained that they had lost a puppy in his pack. "I'm so sorry for your loss." She said softly, her gaze shifting to the ground for a moment. 

Was she safe here? She felt so. They were sheltered by the Creek, but then, Indra and Laurel had been stolen. Still she knew the determination of the male who had taken them. "I cannot imagine their grief." She said quietly. For her it would have invited to her a great rage and storm, and any concern that she had for the deaths she felt associated with would have turned into a hurricane. Rowan knew what he was saying, that her status would make things more difficult, but her choices were limited. She wanted her children to know their family and have the life she had not had as a child. It meant that the Creek was the best place for them. "The Creek may be small, but we care for one another." She promised gently.
