After speaking with Lenae the small Agouti had disappeared into the forest. Her emotions were in turmoil. Recounting to the other woman in hopes of getting her to see what she was doing by ignoring the fact that she was pregnant had been upsetting to say the least. Everything else that had gone through her mind had sent her wandering mindlessly around the mountain. So lost in her thoughts the symptoms of her heat didn't bother her.
As she placed each paw in the snow she hadn't noticed that it had gotten colder. The snow had begun to fall around her, she didn't notice that either. Her pelt slowly grew damp from the snow landing on it and melting. When she finally did realize how cold it had become and the fact that she was shivering she still wasn't sure that she should return to the tarn. After the way things had gone with Lenae she didn't know if they would even want her there.
Her tawny form collapsed into a sitting position against a tree. More than anything she wished her heat would just go away. It made her want things that she was better off not wanting. Was it really her heat though that made her want them? Missing wolves she shouldn't be missing and made her think things and believe things that her insecurities helped her believe to be true. Her gaze turned toward the direction she'd come, to where the group had settled. Then she turned it to look in the other direction. ‘Would she even be missed if she kept walking?’
Her body trembled a little as another shiver ran through it. She wondered what Lenae had told them she'd said. Would she be met with anger if she returned? Cheedo didn't know what to expect if she returned to the tarn and found them all angry with her for what she'd done. She wasn't blind she could see how they all cared for the other woman. Did they care for her like that?
As she watched it happen around her she wanted to have a meaningful relationship like she'd seen between Piety and Wraith and now Piety and Lorcan. She wanted a friend like Cyril had in the girl Adeltra. She realized that she did want children of her own, to have a second chance to he a mother.
Her time with Odin had showed her that she was able to allow someone to get as close as he had gotten. She was ready after two years for all of those things. With a sigh she pushed herself away from the tree and started moving again, weaving through the trees, maybe if she brought a gift back they wouldn't be so angry with her for what she'd done. Cheedo started her search for something that would hopefully be big enough to help.
