Moonspear silver silence

Although she had been highly irritated by the outcome of their last encounter, when she had smelled a trail on Korei leaving the mountain a few days ago, it had been reasonable to wonder why, despite all the relevant inklings on the matter already. She wasn't going to discredit her entirely so soon.

Now, a handful of days later.. still no sign, and now she was really finding it difficult to believe this was normal. Korei rarely left. She knew the pale daughter had been hurt by their choices, their responses, and all else, but to think she would actually flee from them in the middle of wintertime. With this suspicion in mind, Amekaze was disappointed and still struggling to believe it from her firstborn. She had always been different, but this was pushing it to a new, unexpected extreme that none of them needed right now.

If it was the case, the dark matriarch hoped she would survive away from them. Korei might have acted clueless some of the time, yet deep, deep down beyond that, Ame still had always wanted to have faith in her--she had seen bits of her stubbornness, and knew she was hers, above all else. That was why the mother wouldn't go fervently chasing her down; Korei had chosen this path, and should carry the weight of the consequence.. Ame had her own life to lead, after all. But just maybe it wasn't all a lost cause.. although if she went and froze in the wilds at large, then it would be an entire waste.

With this all sitting heavy on her mind, she carved out a meandering path into the middlegrounds of the mountain, looking for @Vela now that she had picked up Jarilo along the way. He was trailing somewhere behind after a scent she pointed him towards. The son was still a little wary of her after some of her recent rebukes of him, and that was fine. Right now, she just mainly liked knowing where he was and seeing him occasionally was good affirmation.

Nevertheless, it was unusual that she sought out her youngest daughter without any solid reason like this at all. She only had half an idea where to look (beyond with Charon), and skimmed along with her nose down low, stalking for the freshest trail.
