Her tail wagged gently at Natu’s offer of shelter for the night and welcome to travel through the mountainous region whenever needed. This marked the second territory she was given access to and by her nature as a loner it pleased her to know that more space to wander had been opened up to her and her imprint, for he had promised to go where she went though she was not entirely sure where life was taking her presently. She still had much to figure out in how things would progress with both her Sun and her Moon and it was only with the faintest hope that it wouldn’t leave either of them hurting. Still her golden ears perk forward at Ragnarok’s response and acceptance for both of them, his assurance of the den at their back a comfort even as the winds continued to pick up around them.

It seemed to be a late summer storm, trailing behind all others even as autumn came upon the land but with no less speed and fury than its brethren as the skies continued to darken around her. Part of her wished t retreat in to the cava already, to be alone with her soul once more and get answers to the questions that still ran around her head, and most likely give answer to the questions now plaguing him. She managed a smile and to concentrate on the present as a sly glint traced across Ragnarok’s eyes at the mention of being here more often. She could not deny it was an interesting prospect, the idea of settling in a place with him, taking over his families den and even plotting some kind of a future. It was the furthest in to the future she had ever allowed herself to think. As a loner her thoughts were oft consumed by the present or very near future. What would she eat next? Where would she bed that night? Looking constantly over your shoulder didn’t give you much time to dream or plan a life; it was do or die constantly.

Yet here, in this place, there was the hint of a future she might never have imagined before were it not for Ragnarok. For him alone her soul sang and she found a tether to this world she had not had before, and could not expect to find again. The thought of Neirin crossed her mind and her face fell, though all that she did here felt right there was a twinge of the wrongness, of the fact that her Sun might not approve or enjoy such ideas. Was it his fault she had come across her imprint so shortly after meeting him? She had gone from zero to sixty, never having founded any relationships before and now being at a crossroads between two of them. Closer to the edge every moment.

Still she kept up a smile, nodding alongside Ragnarok’s words. “It would be a pleasure to spend more time familiarizing my wandering paws with the paths these mountains no doubt hold.” The conversation continue and Church found her brow knitting a bit in confusion and a glimpse of understanding about the trailing scars she had questioned about. They seemed to speak over her, situations she did not fully understand but still attempted to grasp at. She managed the fact that these fight must not be terribly uncommon if this wolfess was also familiar with them, but also that there was much more to it as Ragnarok seemed imploring Natu not to speak further of it. The fact that she too might be involved somehow in healing him of this mysterious ailment was not missed. She bit back the growing questions that threatened to tumble out. Clearly this was a situation that they must discuss in private; however it grew harder to maintain a façade of understanding when she was so confused. Tact was never her strong suit.

She caught his ice-blue eyes as the turned toward her in a mixture of reassurance and pleading to hold those same questions at bay. He knew her confusion, felt it as easily as he felt her anxiety but for him she remained silent. At a loss she simply stood there watching the exchange, nothing to add to the topic her only option would be to interject some new train of thought but the tension in the air was as thick as the humidity. The idea of jokingly talking about the weather tickled her subconscious, but surely such attempts at humor would fall flat.
