Neverwinter Forest and lock the fire escapes

The mist was settling in the forest they had chosen to be their home. That was, if they didn't find something better. The nocturnal being had been in Neverwinter before, she remembered; she had ripped the tongue out of a snake's mouth in here. But never had she stayed for long. It wasn't like Blackfeather; especially the absence of cawing overhead was missing, not to mention the tunnel system, her den, the Redgrove... The woods she grew up in were not theirs to claim anymore. The Melonii would settle elsewhere to build their legacy and restore their reputation.

She wondered then when her own Melonii lover would announce her as part of their bloodline. He had already expressed his desires to have her by his side at all times, to create something extraordinary within the confines of her womb. Not that it made Aries any less valuable if they did end up raising their own offspring. Aries was still young, he probably didn't mind playing with the pups when they were able to, while Damien and her looked out for the pack. How far in the future was she thinking? It wasn't even winter yet...

It was then that she spotted her dark ward and she approached, speckled tail swishing gently from side to side. She heard the rustle of Tulugak in the trees up above, carrying some pine needles with him that he was trying to hide by turning his tail feathers her way. She wondered what the bird was up to, until it swooped down and dropped the forest bedding onto her head with a loud caw. Tulu was a prankster she had come to notice, not that she minded his harmless pranks. She chuckled as she shook off the remaining pine needles and addressed Aries.

Greetings. She started. How do you like the forest?
