Dragoncrest Cliffs run, river, run to the sea

loose timelines since the kids are going with Heda and crew. <3

Restlessness finally spurred Tirgatao to seek out the children, and hopefully offer herself as someone they could lean on in this difficult time. She wasn't family—she was part of the clan, and one of their nomi's most trusted friends, and maybe that might make all the difference. The Shouna didn't claim to know the trio as well as she'd have preferred—she always deigned to give the family space, and remain passive in their interactions. Tirgatao existed to serve all of Drageda and it would have done her little good to focus so intensely on the family (as much as she would have liked to). 

She picked up the familar scent of one of the children as she neared the southern reaches of the redwood forest, unable pin an individual to it, but finding it a promising lead nonetheless. The sturdy woman turned and followed the trail at a languid pace, at least until a tall pair of russet ears perked up from behind a thick stand of undergrowth. Tirgatao paused and a smile touched her lips. It wasn't clear if Blixen had been watching her approach for some time, or the young Kru was still unawares of her presence—last she heard, Wildfire's look-a-like was aiming for Gona, so Tirgatao wouldn't be surprised if the woods had made the young wolf aware long before Tirgatao caught sight of her. 

"@Blixen?" she called softly. "ste bilaik yu?"

*is that you?
