It had been a grueling two seasons for her, so many mothers and pups to watch and tend to as needed, bumps and bruises or other things that otherwise plagued the mothers after birth. The boy of Astrids had thankfully pulled through. She was certain it was the disease that seemed to claim all pups that it struck, but thankfully, somehow, Zeltzin managed to pull him through it. Determination she was certain was part of it. Astrid also was healthy and well able to provide well for the child as she helped him along through his sickness. Dedicated parents and pack she was certain truely helped the boy, now with him on the mend and fall here and seemingly all families were well she could finally take a rest. One thing was for sure though her being so busy made it harder for her to simply think constantly on Moteuh, but what was more while she was so busy it seemed her baby Shem and Asriel had started wandering further and further beyond Taviora’s borders. She hadn’t seen Asriel in days, perhaps weeks even. She worried about him, it had started as a night here and there then a few nights and now he was gone for such long periods of time… but he always came back around if not for a short while.

It was hard to believe her boy that had been so dependant and clingy to her at birth now was so distant and independent… She knew she needed to give him the space she just hoped that he would not wander for years and years and go beyond her reach outside of Moladion like Scarlett, Midna and Ilias had… Half her children wandered the world, the other half simply seemed to leave her, all except for Zelda that seemed, and even she was busy with her own duties now and again with this new wolfess, Arace, bringing her troubles. Zeltzin though could not worry for her eldest daughter, not like she used to. The girl had grown up, she was the new Guardian and Zeltzin believed her in abilities to work it out with the help of those in the higher ranks around her. One thing she hadn’t really thought of though was her brother’s own situation.

Of course it always came back to mind. It was hard when she was dropping off herbs for Tuari and now and then checking in on Talien. She would see him there and always greet him as he should but the ‘talk’ she wanted to have with him never happened. Zeltzin didn’t think it ever would happen. Today, she would be proven wrong, her brother’s voice came through the den though his tones weren’t exactly what she was hoping for. She was a little surprised though that he had come at all, and by no means was it going to be easy. Zeltzin wasn’t going to lecture him, he was an adult who made his own adult decisions, and thus far, luckily for him, it had worked out okay. She was happy for him, she knew those children of his made him happy but part of her job as a sister was also to make sure he was okay, and was going to continue to be okay.

”Hey Dex, I’m surprised I didn’t think you would find the time with your children constantly climbing all over you.” She teased as well as slightly prodded. She guessed that was why he had waited so long. It was their first fall, they were getting bigger, more independent and reliable to let go further from the den and explore. She was sure with Talien and Tuari’s health now back to normal he also had more free time for his own doings. ”Everything okay?” Honestly the talk point might have long since passed, she was certain by now he would have said something on his own, if not, between all his running about it was likely they might have figured it out on their own. She guessed only time would tell.
