Wapun Meadow Sun and the moon

@Takiyok ? — Leaving the EH thread super vague ❤

The snow seems endless; blanketing the Valley in white anywhere the bearish wolf looked. Winter feels as if it's finally in full bloom. While the temperatures have been frigid, it's blizzard-esque conditions have escaped Evergreen's grasp until he traveled northward with his sister, Thistle. Now, it bites at him as if they were old rivals; playmates who fought too fiercely and Evergreen isn't certain he wants much to do with it. His ears flatten as he looks skyward; perplexed with the situation he's gotten himself in. Perhaps it would have been smarter had they convinced mother and uncle to wait until Spring to leave the nest, so to speak.

It does not help that he worries for his mother's condition. Before they left, it was obvious Oki no longer had the energy she once did. Her disability seemed to effect her more; nose no longer sharp and ears no longer able to pick up the tiniest of sounds. Where her eyes failed her, her other senses used to stand tenfold stronger. He knows, deep down, part of the reason why she sent them on this journey wasn't just for them. He knew Oki did not wish for them to witness her decay. Evergreen just struggled with such a thought; despite how difficult it would be to see the sun in his world glow dimmer each day, Evergreen can't help being pulled by her gravity. He misses her. He knows Thistle misses her, too.

'Please be safe,' he thinks, swallowing down the lump in his throat. Standing from his post along the Meadow's outskirts, the beast shakes his fur free. The blanket of snow forming across his brown coat now a mere dusting. He supposes now he might as well make himself useful. Maybe explore—scout the area so unknown to the newcomer—before the sun sank any further. Soft colors of purple, pink and orange reflect off the winter wonderland, giving the Meadow an ethereal glow. He wonders, if it's this gorgeous during the winter, how will it be come spring?
