He wouldn’t be wrong to think her reasons for being here were for herself. Her children was what drove her out here, the love she gave to Solstice even, though she was adopted, brought her here to ensure her safety. It might have endangered her own life but that was how Zeltzin was, and most of her family. Self sacrifice seemingly came natural to them, something that went against most other’s instincts so easily. But she wanted to help others. That was why she became a healer like her mother. It carried tradition, true, but it also was one of the most giving paths she could have taken.

That day she went to help Eden, she did so because they used to be pack mates, because her brother could use him as an ally. Eden despite not being the most normal wolf himself was interesting and a good ally to have. When they had spent time together though she noticed the things he had in common with a wolf she hadn’t seen in some time. Anselm. There was a lot they shared. Looks, a bit of scent and even their personality a bit, she thought. She never told him, or even asked Eden if perhaps they were relatives but perhaps today when they had nothing else to do she would ask him more about his family.

It surprised her when he moved to even further block the wind from her. It wasn’t that she thought he was heartless, but perhaps a bit distant. He certainly was far from the affectionate mate she had in Lucero, but somewhere she knew he cared, it was just in a different way. Least that was what she believed in the male. He was kinder, more caring than he showed. Some of his actions now were proving that to her. When he stated why he was out here she couldn’t help but laugh slightly. ”Why am I not surprised.” It was pretty obvious, but it never hurt to ask.

Zeltzin started to move towards the tree line when he closes in on her to answer her question. Her ear lifted slightly, his deeper voice was easier to catch but the blistering winds still made it difficult. What surprised her more was when he pressed his shoulder against her own. The warmth traveling between them was nice, but she felt strange accepting his closeness, but at the same time it was nice, it had been a long time since anyone had walked along side her in such a way. She was certain it was just friendly, and him helping her towards the hollow.

Giving a nod she followed his direction, they moved for a time, her ear twitching lightly again as he said then he would help her once they were there. She laughed, did he think he was not helping her now? That she was already not greatful for everything he was doing for her today? She didn’t give an answer, knowing her voice would be lost to the wind she simply followed his way to the hollow he had spotted.

Soon she could see the spot and she slid in and instantly felt the relief from the wind and cold. She gave a relaxed sigh as she parted from the white and silver male tucked herself into the corner of the small space. ”Thank you, Eden, you didn’t have too.” She said gratefully. Her tail waved, and her fiery eyes went to his own bright copper orbs. She felt nervous almost but she didn’t know why, it wasn’t as though she was scared of him it was just she felt odd and it was familiar but it was something she hadn’t felt for a long time.

”I suppose this means I owe you another visit if you manage to get yourself hurt again. Unless there’s something else I could do for you?”
