Witch's Marsh Will I ever see heaven again?

The herbs forgotten about for now, she focused on the next question from her aunt and nodded firmly. Yes! Ibis confirmed; she had many reasons to linger here rather than pledge herself to her father's pack again, but wasn't sure if she should launch in to them in-depth. Beyond feeling comfortable in this place which had become familiar, it was also the last place she had seen Okeanos and if he were to return safely from wherever-he-is, Ibis would hope to see him here. I haven't thought beyond the winter, she admitted humbly. When it gets frosty the mud freezes, and I think even if the ponds freeze and we get snow in the marsh, it won't be that bad.. As she thought aloud about this a scrunched, focused expression overcame her features. Ibis had survived at least one winter now and she thought the coming season would not be so bad - trusting, as always, that they will all make it through.
