Emberwood Old Rhythm, New Beats

@Takeshi! Taken place after the group visits KO! Will keep the that thread vague since it's not done!

The visit to Kaistleoki was an emotional roller coaster. The to-be-empress was torn on her feelings about the reunion with the place she had called home, her chest hurting just enough to remember the details of the event and linger on them to this day. 

Once the group had settled back into the vale, Reiko wandered off on her own. Sneaking away from @Hiromi and @Yuudai's ever watchful gazes to go and check back on the old stomping grounds of Uaine Gorsedd, hoping to find more stragglers who lingered wondering why the pack was gone. The two Clan members were a sight for sore eyes, but there were certain things Reiko wished to do on her own. She had spent to much time already fending for herself (with a lot of trouble), and so it felt wrong to burden others after such a long time of having to do it yourself. 

Though she was certain the two would have different opinions about it. 

As she wandered the woods, a sense of sadness overcame the young woman. Ibis had worked so hard to bring the pack together, just for it to crumble and leave behind only the little carved flowers in the trunks Reiko had done for Ibis' brother to find them. Now it was just as desolate as anywhere else. From the far end of the previous pack's territory, she sighed and turned back around to follow a new path back to Northstar Vale, to go back to the small group and help them all settle down.
