Great Bear Wilderness a quieter place

departure thread! was discussed in part w some OOCly who would come and not, leaving this open for choices <3 @Kivaluk @Maia @Eljay @Amalia @Cardinal @Eagle @Crane, @Ceridwen for ref! <3

decided, chickadee gathered the pups together and informed them of the choice. but at almost eight months old, their full heights attained, she knew they could not be forced. this was a choice, a crossroads.
mama and daddy would be coming with them. only imagined was the pain of her parents to leave this place and the blackthorn den. aware of this, their daughter stayed dutifully close, present to speak or to walk or to simply exist in silence.
kivaluk too — she wondered if he would go to moonglow while they waited. bittersweet, all of this.
but warmth was on their horizon. they would seek out a place more welcoming in winter.
one more time did chickadee lope through the caldera, joining amalia with a little nip and reassuring butt of their heads together. she was as much family as them all, and welcome on their journey.
a night spent restfully, and in the daylight they woke to gentle snow which followed the procession of brecheliant as they made their way from the teekon wilds.
only once did she look back.
