Solstice gives a little nod, her tail padding once softly against the ground. She would have very much liked to go visit her mother. Perhaps Zelztin would have had insight into why the world seemed to out of tune. Solstice feared that something like this feeling went deeper than what her adopted mother would see though. As wise and knowledgeable as the healer was, there were some wounds herbs could not touch. Seeing her always brought joy to her life, though.

Once more, the corners of Solstice’s lips turned up, and she chuckled softly at Jinx’s assurances. Being buried in puppies was one of the brightest highlights of the cream’s dreams. She knew there could be some mothers-to-be in Asteraia and Taviora had not been without a birth since she could remember. Either from birth or adoption, young souls found themselves in the trees. I would love to help with a play date. She said, the pleasure at the idea flickering in her eyes. It is good to get the younger generations playing together. It would also give their mothers a break. Remembering her own childhood, with her adopted siblings and those of her blood, she knew occasionally parents simply needed time to breath. Even her father would pace from one family to the other. Her ears flickered sadly. Until he vanished. She was momentarily concerned that is had been the pressure of the vastly different children that might have sent him into nothing. No… she corrected herself. Samhain had loved his children and would have given his life for them. The thought had her stomach twisting in fear that he had.

Solstice shook her head to bring her back to the now once more. A pale brow lifted and her head tilted, curious to how she was helping when she did not know it. But she shrugged it off and continued. So long as no one was being hurt, she did not mind assisting when she was unaware of it. No, I have not met Lady Aster. Her face fell sadly as she admitted it. Halcyon treasures her dearly, and I would love to meet her as my queen and possibly a friend. Now her eyes did shine again, life breathing back for a moment into her swaying tail. I look forward to the days I can watch their pup grow and discover the world!
