The Heartwood Bearer of News

Heph nodded along, while prolonging the decision might have meant more time to prepare it did mean that if they did not stay then all of them would be swiftly departing the Heartwood come winter. But she did not let that trouble her. Whatever would come would come and if Dreven and Atka decided to move she knew she could not change the outcome of that decision any more than if they decided to stay. Although she found it strange that Khasni would go missing when she professed a connection to the area she did not know the other wolf well enough to question whether this was truly odd. She let out a slight chuckle as he admitted he was not one for wandering, but felt compelled to add since she was more apt to her travels "That is fair, although if it's traveling that would help I could scout out the best routes if you've heard of promising locations so your journey would not be overlong." While she was not sure where that might take her it would still allow her to roam and since she had seen so little of the Wilds she was fairly sure it would be to parts unknown which would keep her satisfied. She listened to his assessment with a more even expression, while she was glad to hear that winter was coming soon she knew that the sooner that it came the closer she drew to departing from Atka and even the company of Dreven would be missed in his own way. But she also felt the winter winds calling her to move and she was curious to see more of that land when it was covered in snow and the tracks of animals were easier to discern.
