Standing at the border, Golde looked on with a solemn expression.
Dawnbreak had changed. What was once a jovial group had been weighed by grief. Golde didn't know Genghis, for she hadn't had the chance to meet him—yet, she did know the powerful impact that his death had on the pack. Tiberii seemed lost, something Golde had never expected to witness. The rest of the Shakti-Vaes family seemed to be equally as despondent.
And Golde was simply lost as to what to do. The woman carried on with her duties, slipping past the Vale's rampart of snow-capped mountains, nose hovered close to the ground, making meticulous observations of the world around them. For hunting grounds, for safe areas to use as potential shelter, for the potential sighting of an intruding interloper...
The woman's gaunt frame was aching—yet to ignore the plea for repose from her overexerted muscles was preferable at this point over spending time amid the dejected hubbub within the Frostfang Vale. She huffed, turning her head and finally opting to return home after a long several days of scouting the lands.
'Golde—' The girl nearly jumped out of her skin. 'Hello.' Christ...
Aurelia,she responded, letting out a soft breath,
I wasn't expecting to see you here.A curt nod. The wolfdog took a few steps forward and halted closer to the Wisdom.
Golde's tail, formerly coiled over her hips in astute awareness, began to relax, resting instead against her hocks.
I'm just fine,she responded,
just... out surveying the area.Her ear flicked back for a moment and she turned to gaze beyond the borders.
...what are you doing so far out from home?Her voice held nothing accusatory, merely surprise and inquiry. Surely a simple walk wouldn't take Aurelia past the mountains?
