The Sunspire Shade Tree

work post, blehhh

Jace's thoughts aligned with her own, as they often seemed to do. "That is my hope, that something interesting has just come up for him and that he will return soon. Summer has grown into a capable wolf, so perhaps I should not worry as much as I do," she sighed. It was hard being attached to others but she meant what she said -- he could take care of himself, no longer quite the same as the pup crippled by anxiety. "So do not worry about looking around just yet," she added, though appreciated his offer. Her eyes and ears for peeled for news of his return in the meantime.

Then, she frowned slightly at the notion of springtime making wolves crazy. She had very little experience in this; the breeding season was a very controlled event at home (limited to those of Makyo's choice) and Ferdie had been one of the few to ever really plan for it here. Regarding herself, she had dodged it in the last year because of circumstance. This year was still up in the air and she didn't like thinking too much about it, so did not know how to feel.. even if it was her right. "Mhm, there is always that.." Ame doubted there would be too much going on here on that front. Although if Ferdie had still been here, she would have guessed that he would have driven them all halfway crazy with his anticipation of puppies come spring. Which she had realized before that there had been a chance for them to be hers as well, but a fleeting one. He had seemed interested in Hawkeye (a female awfully similar to her in appearances, only larger and more scarred) and Ame was not always particularly keen to reciprocate.

She exhaled slowly, wishing to smell the springtime so badly in that moment. "Agreed. Although our winter has been mild, I am done with it.. for the plants to go green again and for the waterways to thaw out is what I am waiting for -- I want to go fishing again," she laughed softly. "I do not know what else the spring will bring us, but I cannot help but feel like I should have a better plan. It is what it is, though," she smirked. For the Sunspire's present, future, legacy, and so on, but these were complicated considerations.
