The Heartwood All your life

Heph gave a short laugh, more a huff of air into the coolness but did shuffle over the rest closer to the pair on Atka's side. "Mmm but home is where the heart is." She responded softly, not out of fear but more to assauge the laziness rising in her at being off her paws for so long. Perhaps that was the real reason she wandered so that she did not spend all day sleeping. Her maw stretched open in a quiet yawn though she was not tired only idle.

She matched Atka's laugh and added, throwing out into the air in a drawl that lacked the sharp point of sarcasm though hints of irony wedged their way into her speech. "I'll be on the lookout then, maybe help Dreven chase off any suitors." Her eyelid closed down into a slow wink as her head rested on her paws.
