Emberwood my strength doubles twice

She'd wandered further than she'd intended to by the time she made it to Emberwood. She was aware that there was one pack- Kvarsheim- in the area, but branched out a bit further when she scented pack scents in the area, potentially more neighbours if she was right with her assumption. She was about to turn back when a familiar scent caught her attention- and kept her roaming out toward the shrubby woodlands, in hopes that she was able to find the girl she'd once taken in. 

It didn't make much sense for her to also be out roaming this far. Once she found Towhee Jr's scent, she was surprised to find that whatever trace of pack scent she'd had had been shed. Did this mean she was a spy? Was she sent out to find them? She fought with herself, against her better judgement, and thought she'd simply be best off if she turned back and left for the Valley, dipping through a river on the way home to make sure she couldn't be tracked. 

But this wasn't just any kid from the rise- this was the one who wasn't a Redtail. And she still felt guilty for leaving her behind without an explanation. 

She spotted the wolf in the distance, impossible to mistake with the bird settled at her shoulders. She knew the girl wouldn't hear her- but that the bird would, and she uttered a soft woof, hoping to catch the bird's attention. 

She would leave some space between them- she still had no way to know how she would be greeted.
