There were things to be sad about, but as she explained to her mother, they would see father again someday. He wasn’t really gone, he was the earth around him, he was on the next stage of life and someday they both would join them. Panik knew he was happy exploring and learning all about his new world. That was enough for her. So even with that morose feeling behind her she was able to smile at Cori now, brown tail waving slightly bouncing on her paws as she looked the similar sized boy over. She was very excited to meet someone from not around here though, at this point she guessed she could say she wasn’t around here much either! But regardless she was happy to find someone new, not an angel or mountain wolf or anyone with such long lines to moladion.

”I see! Well it’s nice to meet you, Cori! I’ve been wandering a long time too, but I was born there, at that mountain. It’s called Spirane the mountain pack. I didn’t live there super long though I followed the wind. Father said I was like his father… Following the spirits and whatever else drove me. Then again Father also thought his father was stark raving mad…” She giggled at that but it was okay, she knew her father still cared about her that was what was important if nothing else. Her tail still waved, really she probably did take a fair bit after her Grandfather Indus, in terms of not letting her paws stop at least. It just was that way for some wolves, and Cori was one of them too!

”So you’re like me! But hardcore! You don’t really have a home then? Or a place you’re from that’s amazing to just be born with the whole land as home. Much more interesting than just being born to a pack I guess.” She says truly amazed with the same aged boy but really there weren’t a lot like him that were just permanent nomads. Not these days at least.

”It’s nice not really having any boundaries or rules, huh?” She said more musing aloud as she looked towards Spirane. The protection was nice, but everything else could be suffocating… she missed her family but honestly there was so much out there beyond those mountains and she wondered if Baird or Silla ever took the time to explore them. She knew Rhett took off super young to Asteraia she thought, but the other three she thought still lived at home. As for her older two siblings she really didn’t know anything about them, just they left the mountains too. Maybe she wasn’t the only one that got the itch in her paws to wander.
