Her day had not begun the way she had anticipated. First she had woken up late, the sun almost being at its highest in the sky. Then her youngest son had come to her for some much needed advice, though the topic of conversation was upsetting. Her heart was heavy with the topic of conversation, sadness weighed on her heavily. She wouldn't ever let her boys know her sadness or magnitude of worry she held within her. She wouldnt want them to worry. Her mind wandered to the future of the cove. They had worked so hard to revive their mountain home. What would become of it? If @Aleister didn't recover, Chan and Nash decided to leave and she passed? Would @Aquene or @Kip take over? Keeping the pack afloat? Maybe until one of the pups could carry on the Vuesain legacy? Or would they simply disband as had in the past? The cove disappearing forever? Moonshadow knew she couldn't do anything after her passing, but that didnt stop her from worrying...she was a worrywart after all.

Her large head hung low as she walked along the borders as she had originally planned for the day. She needed the alone time, to process what she and @Nash had just discussed, but to also reflect upon her life as a whole. Her mind was replaying her original acceptance to the cove with the man who would become her best friend. Eerily, at that moment Kajika's voice rang through the trees, sending a chill down her spine. Moonshadow stopped dead in her tracks, her eyes were wide in disbelief and her ears pressed almost painfully forwards. It felt as if a ghost had called out to her, but a confirming scent on the wind told her otherwise. Kajika was home.

Moonshadow took off as best she could for her aging frame. She pushed through the pain in her aching joints, only caring about seeing her long lost friend. His scent grew stronger as she approached the border. Mercury orbs misted at the sight of his dark frame and a quite whine fell from her own inky maw. She stood in disbelief simply staring at him for a moment. The aging woman saw the agouti frame of Chan before moving back to Kajika's. Only then did the pale figure standing next to him register. No doubt it was Birtie, by the way she clung to his side and her dark yellow gaze. Though had she always had that scar? Moonshadow's silver dusted tail lashed only a couple of times before stilling, the only indication of her sour reaction to the woman. As quickly as it happened, the Eastfall woman got control of herself. She hadn't left on the greatest of terms with Birtie, but that didnt matter at the moment. All that mattered was that she no longer had to wonder what had become of her best friend. "Kajika?" she breathed, her voice shaky.

"Its me Moon. Sorry it took me so long to het here." The words hit her like a ton of bricks. Her tail began to waved as her mercury pools filled with tears. A wide smile revealed her canines as she broke into a run. She ran straight towards his large frame, the short distance didnt allow her to gain much momentum. So when she collided with him there wasnt much force, allowing them both to remain standing. She embraced him as tightly as she possibly could as feverish whines fell from her speckled maw. "I am so happy yer alright." She breathed while still hugging him tightly. She was flooded with emotions, but joy overwhelmed her, and she held on to that just as tight. It was an emotion she wasnt always privy to, so whenever she got it she clung onto it.
