It's fascinating to watch her. She searches and yet, I can see her almost bypass me completely. Where is her mind, I wonder? But she is quick to tell me that too, though not with her words - she comes towards me but stops, and at first I move to rise, my ears flashing forward, for I wonder if she has caught wind of some danger, or heard some call I did not. Yet, I pause mid-rise as she sniffs at a flower and sighs in...relief, is it? Relieved by a flower? I immediately relax my position, though my attention is more intensely on her now. Glorall has not seen a wolf like this in so long...well, perhaps other than Eva. I cannot help but think of my overzealous daughter when Tikal approaches because, where they do not look the same, there is a familiarity in their essence. Perhaps Tikal has just unknowingly found herself a new task now that I think about it...

But when she talks, I just as quickly realize that now is not the time to load more tasks onto her, as competent as she might be at the ones I have in mind. She trips over her words, a thing that I cannot help but smirk at before I shake my head slowly. "You need not be so nervous, pullulant." I call her sprout because I am sure if she could, she would very well grow petals herself. "Glorall is happy to have a friend to the flowers - a guardian, perhaps." I glance back at the purple petals that had stopped her, wondering how it is that a wolf grows to be so fascinated with such things. Is it some part of youth that did not bloom within me? Or something in the blood, the family? Who can truly say, and I must stop my mind from roaming down such frivolous paths of thought. It is all too easy to become distracted by such things now - is it age, I wonder? I ought to ask mother before she finds herself wherever it is that the long sleep takes them.

I force my eyes back to her, and my mind back to my own task. I bow my head, small and subtle and hopefully not enough of a display to send her tripping over herself once more. "You have been busy, I know. How did you find Taviora's festivities? Did you find much of interest, to yourself and to Glorall?" Of course I desire to know things that might interest the pack and politics as a whole, but I am also curious as to what kinds of things Tikal herself finds of interest. I ought to know more about my pack, after all.
