Their departure from Sawtooth came quicker than Nyx expected, though she supposed it was for the best.

With several young cubs to support, all without any real experience of the wilds beyond their birthplace, the lioness was especially fearful for her own brood. They'd only recently relocated to the rendezvous and she suspected neither of her daughters had been particularly thrilled about it. This move would be to an entirely new territory, so she kept a close eye on them as the journey commenced.

Luck seemed to be on the lioness' side, for no need to reprimand arose - not even when the excitement of exploring new land and meeting new faces wore off. Ciri and Elke seemed more tired than frustrated, the latter in particular who was swift to find sleep. Nyx watched over her girls for a time, protective as always and feeling some mistrust for Wylla, before she willed herself to rest for the final stretch of their trip.
