OOC: Totally disregarding the liquid time here cause technically this thread happens the same time as Kova being in Stonewatch timbers with his mother.. LOL

  Lots of strange things were happening nowadays. His mother grew larger every day, and his father had left the pack on a short trip north barely a week ago. Kova had wanted to go with the old man, but Tokino had commanded him to stay and watch over Minka. So, despite being annoyed at the command, Kova had stayed. He was deeply regretting it now though. Especially since his mother had put a rule into action saying that if pack members left to venture out into the world; that they had to have another wolf with them. Tokino had gone out stubbornly on his own without his son. Kova could only hope that his father would be okay up north.

Still... He himself was just as stubborn as Tokino. Kova had slipped off on his own to get away from his protective mother for a while. He didn't take anyone else from the pack with him. To be honest, Kova didn't really know anyone spare for Inali, Lugh who was oddly missing, and Bane. The boy didn't know the others enough to want to travel with them, not like the old sitters he had been used to being around. He missed Firefly greatly, and Beren, as well as Atlas. His old pup sitters had abandoned the pack or gotten lost during the winter. Kova wasn't sure what happened to them, but he wished they were still around. Firefly especially had been fun to wander with. She had given him freedom from rules and expectations even while watching him carefully from afar. However, the fiery she wolf was gone now, and Kova couldn't help but feel sad about that fact.

The silver prince was visiting an area he and his old sitters had explored what seemed like a long time ago. As Kova traveled towards the trees he noted the darkening clouds of a thunderstorm that looked to be brewing in the southeast. He loved storms, and thunderstorms in particular made his heart giddy. Quickly the child let out a playful snarl at the air revealing all of his teeth in a wide devilish smile. The storm would hit soon, but Kova wasn't done looking around at the cherry trees yet.

 The orchard was gearing up for spring though the snow still covered the earth. The tree's were already budding, though only just barely. Many small flowers did brighten up the area despite the immense white and gray landscape around them. Kova wondered what the place looked like in the warm season. He had been told of how the trees bore fruit in summer, but had yet to see them. Maybe this summer I can visit? Kova thinks to himself while padding confidently through the low hanging tree branches. Many of the trees here were short; much shorter than the cedar or pines that he knew of. Some of their branches were low enough for him to scratch his back upon, and Kova did do just this before a loud "CRACK" sounded in the air above him. Kova grinned happily before he heard the cursing of another wolf nearby. Curious and amused at the sound of the older wolf's complaints, Kova cautiously approached the area where Kjor's was hiding.

 “You don't like storms?” Kova asked delightedly while his tail swayed high upon his back. His banner merely showed his excitement at the situation and nothing more; though another wolf may confuse it for dominance were it not for Kova's friendly demeanor. His tail flicked back and forth in an excited wag while his chin was held up. The child looked to the heavens where another flash of lightning lit up the sky. He gave the sky another challenging snarl before twisting around and bouncing over the earth playfully. Then his attention switched back to Kjors as the sky groans overhead. Thunder rumbled as Kova stops before Kjors once more showing that friendly wagging tail and giving him a giddy smile.
