For @Sven
After such an arduous journey south, the Monadnock wolves had settled in the Grove to rest before resuming their journey home. It would allow @Elettra a few days to come and go as she pleased, giving her a chance to get to know @Kara and Odin more than a simple stop and go would have. It was upsetting that she had missed their younger moments, as fleeting as they were, but the youth were still impressionable and it would do all of them good to spend some time together (including Morganna, who had missed her mother and the wise advice she had to offer dearly).
Children enthralled with the woman they only knew through their mother's stories before this point, she had taken her leave with intent to seek out @Sven (and perhaps try to catch a glimpse of Attica, although she imagined her chances were slimmer than slim). When she hadn't caught sight of him by the time she reached the border, she remembered her mother's words (he wasn't a baby anymore) and tipped her head back to call her nephew. There was no urgency in her tone, perhaps even a hint of an apology. She smirked to herself as she thought it would serve her right if he chose to make her wait. She settled herself by the bank of the river, just in case he was otherwise occupied. She was willing to wait today.
