Somewhere around a shadow loomed over her, watching the Empress as she wandered further from the vale's boundaries as she sought out some still missing Uaine wolves as well as some herbs to bring back to her garden. Something she had hoped @Ibis had done too wherever she had gone to. The Queen these days wandered quite often and Reiko could only hope that she was well protected and would return home safely soon.

There were still plenty of herbs that they needed to plant and cultivate to prepare for next winter, better prepared than she was last winter in Emberwood. The pale woman herself needed some too to calm her belly, chewing on certain herbs had helped her keep some food down lately, something that almost seemed impossible these days without some assistance.

She beckoned.
