With the ball having come and gone, Zelda was curious to how other things had been going. She hadn’t heard for sure, her wish to have Orion and Pine meet at the ball didn’t seem to happen, but Orifel had assured her before he departed for his own home that his father and Pine were coming to some kind of agreement, that they would meet themselves. Hopefully it all went well… it was all she could hope for, though she figured it was time for her to seek out Arace. She let the wolfess have her space, settle into her new life and home. It seemed for now her price had been paid for killing the Iromar wolfess and soon the true wolf behind it would be brought out. Zelda wanted to tell her this, and just generally check and see how things were going. It had been… quiet, which made her happy but also shocked her in more ways than one. She wasn’t sure either that Arace would settle down as she had, but with things seeming to calmed down the wolfess sought her out.

The winter thus far was cold, more snows again seemed to blanket the land but at least this time they weren’t accompanied by strongs winds turning them into violent blizzards… She counted her blessings with that. Still the deep snow meant smaller prey were harder to hunt and take down, and instead the larger deer, moose and boar were far more time and energy efficient. They couldn’t move as quickly through the snow as they could, a wonderful show of evolution allowing for them to be able to hunt bigger game easier during the times when would otherwise be lean as many of the smaller prey went into hiding. Her hunters did a good job of that, and Taviora had so many, they usually did well taking down large prey during this season, but not everyone liked handouts. Though the rather grizzly scene she came upon wasn't’ exactly expected either of someone else fending for themselves in this winter.

It was true she had been tracking Arace, Zelda’s ears had caught the sound of her growled tones, saying that there were too many here. What she was referring too though Zelda had no idea but she could tell the wolfess was clearly frustrated. ”Everything all right, Arace?” Her light tones came into the clearing, her head tilting slightly showing a bit of concern for the state of the area as well as the wolfess’ words. Surely she wasn’t complaining about too many hares… but maybe too many bits laying around?

”I was coming to find you and check on you. Seems like you are doing pretty well.” Zelda said lightly, hoping Arace wouldn’t hold back if she felt otherwise. After all it wouldn’t do well for the wolfess to lie about her state of being. Zelda figured Starfall or Petra would have said something, but Petra’s lessons ended some time ago, but apparently she had learned a good bit from the wolfess now standing here. Zelda didn’t come any closer though or pry further just yet, she wanted to see what was going on.
