[dotw] spring's breath — Description

As winter turns to spring, KT slowly gets to know the wolves that are...now her packmates.

Faucon is a familiar sight, now, boisterous and strong. All the brightness of youth, of a flower blooming into her full potential. It makes KT think of her own halcyon days. Perhaps that is why she finally approaches her, goes on a walk that leaves her winded from age and overlarge bones. Faucon is strong, and fast, and proud.

She had thought, upon coming here, that her life would still be to defend. Defense is in her bones. She will never shed that. But perhaps the active charge of a stalwart protector is that of the youth, in Faucon's gleaming gaze now that she is what Nadia now calls a 'Root'. KT's bones would never thank her, not that they do so even now, if she became one with the Bearguard.

...Perhaps her place is elsewhere.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COLLABING W ME, @ThorinFrostclaw !!!

Another labor of love that took a while, but your sketch was just gorgeous and it made me so happy to work on!

For a while, like KT, I thought her path would be as a Bear--first because Rue was already going to be an Elk, and then because of a maybe-war that she could capitalize on and really throw herself into Chandor. Her life hasn't quite gone that way, though, so...a new path will be hers eventually, when I have the time and the willpower to figure out how it'll all go.

Meanwhile, Faucon is a CUTIE!!!

I did the lines and BG, while Thorin did the sketch, color, and shading!!! TYSM!!!

+2 bones to KT
