It was a quiet day, but that was nothing new. The woods had generally been uneventful since the clan living here before her disbanded — and for that Bangla was grateful. Though she'd once grown bored easily when left to her own devices for too long, that had been a long time ago and the woman had since come to relish the peace that came with solitude. Granted, she'd come across a handful of people every now and again (or perhaps it was more accurate to say that they had often come across her), and though such encounters could be awkward she would be lying if she claimed not to feel just a little bit disappointed when these strangers ultimately departed.
She thought about little Ace as she stopped to pick some flowers to decorate her den with; she'd been sniffing similar ones when she found the poor boy, lost and injured. Had he managed to get home safely, Bangla wondered? Would she ever see him again? Likely not.
