Drooping Willows eagles and hawks,

not looking for some fairytale bliss

Leotie loved her home in the willows. Many times before she'd felt like she was at home in the packs she’d been in but the ridge felt different. She truly did feel at home there. Though it was mostly made up of Archers and she wasn't one it didn't matter. They made her feel like part of their family, she'd become great friends with Ravenna and her relationship with Sven was going so well and she was getting to know addy but she loved the girl. She needed some time with the others but she felt very good about them too. Taking about the ridge to Reiko was easy, she could do that all day.

She worried for the young Tainn though and want to make sure that even if she wasn't in the draw any longer she was there for him. He could come and see her any time and she would talk with him about whatever he needed or help him with anything he was having trouble with. “You’re very welcome but it nothing really. Your a part of my family Reiko, you and Treyah and your dad. You will give them my best won't you? Tell them I'm okay?” She asked of the boy though he had no obligation to do so. She looked at her paws for a moment before looking back at the boy. “And if you see Kerb can you tell him that if he's willing I'd like to see him.” She wasn't exactly sure why she'd asked that but it felt like the right thing to do.

He then asked about the Willow's and it's closeness. At first she thought he meant to the distance it was from where they were. He shook his head before clarifying himself. “Oh, yes we are quite close at least I feel like we are. As far as newcomers they are very welcoming especially little Addy. I'm sure she would he happy to show you around and help you with whatever you need.” Leotie smiled at the thought. Would she love to have Reiko with her? She certainly would but she also understood he needed to figure things out now that he was back.

The young tainn was rather conflicted and what he wanted to do now that he had returned to the wildwood. This place was home and he imagined it always would be but traveling to and from his mother's birth pack had been taxing. He hadn't even thought about what he would do once he returned and being able to be free was beautiful. Something that he could see himself doing every single day and yet he understood the value of a pack. Wolves were a social breed as it were, Reiko was no loner by nature so it only made sense to find somewhere to call home.

Right now the Draw wasn't all that alluring because he actually had a chance to do something for him. On the other paw, it seemed a little selfish to pull away from his father and sister that were likely still there. As Leotie seemed keen on telling Reiko to give them her best. If I head there I will tell them, though he was sure that at some point he would go looking for his father and sister but for right now he was keen on seeing what he could find for himself, Kerb, too. He was fine with being a messenger if it meant Leotie wanted it. He liked her and she was rather polite, a welcome face and voice after a long journey.

 Maybe I can come visit and see for myself at some point, because he would like to find a pack to dedicate himself to and to assist but he felt he owed it to himself and his family to check on them and see what else was around. The Ridge sounded nice and Addy seemed like a very friendly wolf that could help him but for now, it was easier just to figure it out one day at a time.

The Agouti woman didn't know what the boy was seeking but as always she would be there to offer any guidance that she could. She was sad though that they had not got to spend more time together when they both had been in the draw together. He had been her favorite though she would never tell anyone that. Maybe now that he had returned they could spend more time together, at least she hoped that this wouldn't be the last time that she saw the Tainn.

Knowing that there was the possibility that he would he returning to the draw to see his family Leotie did ask a favor of him. She wished for Treyah and Triell to know that she was okay and not too far away of they wanted to see her. She didn't know if she would make it there to see them in the near future but it was time. It was also time that she spoke to Kerb, she couldn't hold on to the anger she'd once held for him any longer. She didn't want it bringing her down when she was trying to move on with her life. “Thank you Reiko I really do appreciate that.”

She smiled wide when he spoke of coming to visit, “I would like that very much and in the meantime I will talk to Ravenna and Sven to make sure that it is alright for you to have a proper visit.” She would just love the chance to show him around her home and have him met the wolves of the ridge. They were her family now and she wanted to share that with Reiko. She wanted to have him back in her life, she'd missed him so much.

There was some feeling that he was going to end up being a messenger of sorts and while he was alright with doing a favor here and there, especially for Miss Leotie, he wasn't too keen on a back and forth telegram system. However, if he was going to withdraw from the pack that his family had then he would have to visit which would likely end up with him being a messenger anyways. So far, in his arrival, he had come to the faint conclusion that he didn't want to go back to family but he wanted to see them at a distance. He loved them but it made sense to take a step back, too. Escorting Naira home had shown him that he wanted to be able to stand on his own four legs.

I expect I will be around within a month or so to check the Ridge out. If it was anything of what Leotie had mentioned, then he felt rather comfortable coming for a visit. This way he would be with someone that he trusted and felt comfortable with while still being his own man. Hopefully by then Ravenna and Sven will have agreed to allow me a tour? he chuckled, if only because he felt he should probably mingle around the Draw borders in the hopes of catching someone there.

I should be going now. It's a bit of a travel north if I want to get to them at a decent time. He moved forward, albeit a little nervously, to rub his cheek alongside Leotie's. You've been a great friend to me and my family even if things got weird. I'll see you soon. Thank you. A tight purse of his lips before he lowered his head in silent farewell before taking one step back then side-stepping to travel northward. Reiko was nervous to see them but it was better he get it over with then them stumbling upon him elsewhere. exeunt reiko.

“I look forward to your visit,” she told him when he said that he would be back in a month or so. She wanted to see him and find out how he was settling back into the lore. She would be sure to speak with Ravenna and Sven about Reiko coming for a tour and maybe she could convince him to stay with her in the willows. That was something for another time. She knew he needed to figure things out first. “I will try my hardest,” she promised though she didn't know that she would need to if she explained the whole situation to them. He was Reiko though, she'd watched him grown up and he was Triell’s son. She thought that might count for something, at least she hoped it did.

“Yes, I should he getting back before I'm missed. It was so good to see you again Reiko and you be careful. I want to see you back as soon as you can.” When he moved forward to brush his cheek against her she placed a small kiss on his. “I’m glad I was able to get there for you and your family as long as I was. I'm still here for you and your sister if you need anything Reiko. Don't be afraid to come see me.” He then said his goodbyes and she nodded before he was soon traveling in the direction she knew the draw to be. “Good luck,” she said as he disappeared from her sight.
