Hush Meadow Heart to Heart - Printable Version

And with a sudden burst of speed fuelled by adrenaline, she charged up from behind her sister. The act might end up causing her to get a quick snap of her sister's jaws, but nothing she wouldn't think worth it. Morganna's return back into the Lore was well worth a tackle into the ground. And so Ravenna went for it, aiming to charge into her sister, knock her onto the ground on her back until Ravenna's four legs were on ether side of her, chest to chest, licking all over her face. Ravenna had caught the scent of her on this trail and the excitement had been overwhelming. Though bad blood had gotten mixed up with @Sven and @Nicolò, nothing would stop Ravenna from loving her sister, or any of her family, for that matter. With Greer's pack not being too far off and with Morganna back in town, maybe things were looking up for her finally.

Her sister knew she was near, which is why echoes of laughter flowed through the tall grasses of the meadow instead of snarls. It did not surprise Ravenna. After all, she was a large woman, with a powerful step and had been known to announce her entrance, even more obviously today. Morgan and had always been the sly sister. A sharp tongue, smooth words, silent stalker. She was more of the deadly ninja and Ravenna, the war maiden.

"The horde?" She spoke, head tilting and ears perking at her words. Had she returned with packmates too? Was Kara with her, or Odin? "Fill me in on EVERYTHING. I've missed so much!" She could hardly keep up with all her siblings, granted how many there were and how vast their territories reached. Archers and Talks alike were everywhere, even more so now with Morganna's litter. Ravenna shifts out to the side then, sliding off on her sister to lay down next to her, tail thumping the ground hard as she waited.

Ravenna had made her assumptions when she had not heard anything from Morganna, or about Morganna, in the north for so long. Clearly she had left. Maybe to Torbine, maybe Renier had followed her when he left since she did not see him again ether? Both of her assumptions had turned out to be true by her sister's words and hearing that in the spring she got pregnant with FIVE children was a surprise. A large littler around here was usually three, one or two a small litter - but five?? No wonder she had not heard from her sister in so long.

Then Morganna continued on, saying Wraith and Piety, both former members of Willow Ridge were now leading the pack well enough and because of it, Morganna figured she would stick around this area. Which, of course, got Ravenna's tail pounding the earth again. "No, I didn't." She spoke, the shock on her expression showing, then a small frown. "I should have though... The whole western side of us has been so quiet. With it so open, I'm sure the pups will have so much at their paws to explore. I can't wait to meet them. We need some excitement around here! ... Is Renier coming, too?" She had always hoped they would hit it off, knew mother had hoped for it. We're they official now?

Morganna went on to speak of her children, mentioning of two of their names and a bit on their character. She laughs, though didn't say anything yet as she listened on. With any hope, her son would not grow up to be TOO much like Skoll. After all, he had caused much grief for Elettra and Angier, had in times made things very hard for the pack and had broken law multiple times. As far as Ravenna was concerned, Sven's personality type was enough like Skoll sometimes and that is all she would like to handle.

After letting Ravenna know that Renier was indeed in the area and should be visiting too, it only helped confirm that indeed the pair were together, which brightened Ravenna, though mentioning Sven's name worried Ravenna. She loved @Sven there was no doubt, but he had a way with rubbing some wolves the wrong way because he refused to curb his words for the good of the group and to keep the peace.

Her sister went to go on explaining what had happened when she ran into their cousin. Ever since she had decided to leave up north, Sven's feelings once high for her, turned sour. He didn't want her anywhere near Willow Ridge, surely thought she would do it no good as she had before. Morganna warned her, though Ravenna couldn't help but sympathize for her cousin. "It's a messy situation." She said with a shaking of her head. "When you left and about half our members went with you, it hurt Sven bad. All of us, bad. You weren't here so you don't know the pain you caused and how badly it affected us." She couldn't help but think if Morganna and Greer had stayed, perhaps the fate of her parents could have been changed. Maybe Angier wouldn't have been convinced by Niles to leave. Maybe even sooner Morganna, who was a good scout, could have tracked them down. "After you and the rest had left, so much had spiraled downward. I know you couldn't have predicted it, but you could have known it would be a hard hit to take. And with both of Sven's parents leaving him and whoever else, its not hard to assume this affects his actions." Ravenna was doing her damn best to move on from it, though the pain of loosing her parents and how they had died, would never go away. She was just trying to live this life the best she could, while she could, knowing all too well at any moment she could loose someone else.

"I think the problem is separating pack from family, perhaps. He knows he could never trust you to be here for the pack, having abandoned it before, but doesn't realize he don't have to trust you for that. Just accept you as family. He don't have to like you particularly, but it don't mean he has to hate you, or want you dead." As she went on explaining, her gaze moved out over the meadows, looking out at the foliage that in time soon, would die with winter. In many ways now, it was as though she was speaking for herself and not just Sven. "It's easy to think Sven might assume family packs being close by might hurt our own small group. Just because we are family, doesn't mean we can waltz into one anothers territory like its still home, or hunt on each others land, or breed with their women, so to speak." She laughs a bit at this. "There just has to be ground rules because of being different packs, though that doesn't mean we can't be family too." After all, Whisper Caverns had been very close to Willow Ridge and do had Secret Woodlands. There was no reason they couldn't have allies again. If anything, Sven could look at them as only an alliance, if he did not wish to view them as family anymore.
