Northfall. It was both the name of the territory and the name of the pack that lived here. Was it named after the pack or was the pack named after the territory? An ear flickered idly at the thought, as Harper decided that she would take a look around the territory during one of the down times between treating the tiger’s wounds (and her own) and dealing with assholes.

It was in the early morning, and being that it was springtime, meant cooler weather. The mountains, too, like Elysium, had the Tundra in their backyard, which was always a beautiful sight, and the cooler temperatures, too, felt nice against a dark coat.

She was on her way down the mountain, towards the forest, in hopes of grabbing a bite to eat before checking on her patient and seeing what the day had in store for her.

The land of Northfall felt more alive then ever. Though some of the residents within were due to ill circumstances, Sindri was not shy to the art of blood and war. Their allies would heal and be stronger for it, the bond between the Everfrost residents and Northfall becoming stronger and though Northfall spoke to Frostchant's leader seldom, they had allies within their mountain too. Northfall and fought with @Tiberius for @Olive, had housed @Valmúa and @Kuhn from their enemies and Ragnar had given Elysium new life to its Queens. Maybe now, finally, Sindri could call upon their warriors in order to avenge her daughter's murder.

Sindri took a heavy breath. Her patience having worn so thin and so much time had passed but she would never feel rest until death had been given for death.

In that deep breath, a familiar scent came to her. Flutters twisted in her gut as she followed the scent trail through the evergreen forest along eastern portion of their claim. She bounds forward on light feet, her movements flowing smoothly with her delicate steps. When she sees the behemoth of a wolf ahead, she woofs out in happy greeting to her as she draws nearer.

^^Coming from the tropical haven that Elysium was in comparison to the snow top mountains and lush jungles of Northfall, the change of scenery was one that Harper welcomed. She had met with the King, who had - unknowingly to Harper - helped stir life in Valeska’s womb, and she had learned a key piece of very important information.

Sindri fancied her.

Sindri, the second in command of Northfall, had danced HER. Harper Bacchus, of Elysium, and well - Harper wasn’t at all sure what to make of it, or how to feel about it - but there were questions! So many questions, that Harper longed for her sister’s company more than usual and -

And sure enough, the winds blew in a familiar scent, which was followed by a rather happy woof from the Northfall woman. AH, yes, she was to blame then, wasn’t she? Not quite a bad blame, but more of a playful one.

Her eyes narrowed and Harper barked back, approaching her and greeting her half way.

“Sindri, darling. How are you, love?”

Harper was most certainly here to help with their horribly injured visitors. She was Thornweaver of Elysium, after all. It was quite the stretch to travel from her homeland unto their own on the coast, but Sindri and Ragnar had not thought to seek out the wolf right within their ranks (@Aakron) who had yet to gain much of their trust. Ragnar may have believed the large white wolf's reason to turn against the Isle wolves, but Sindri knew all too well about 'the long con' game.

Anywho, when Harper turned round to face her, padding halfway through the pinewood forest, Sindri pauses and tilts her head, hard blinking at the manner in which Harper was speaking. “I uhh... I'm well.” And with a risen brow added to her confused look, “Darling, love?” He eyes narrow skeptically, “Have I missed something???”

^^Confused women are just as adorable as confused men, Harper realized, as Sindri quickly became confused. She took several long moments to take her in, admiring the look of confusion, on the assumption that Sindri was not a woman who looked very confused very often.

And for but a brief moment, Harper considered being honest and bluntly telling her the truth, that Ragnar had told her. Ah, but she later decided that if Sindri had wished for her to know, she would have told Harper herself, so she didn’t say a word.

Instead, Harper licked her lips nervously, and tilted her head. “You’s not miss anything, silly Regrent. I was trying to lighten the mood, since um… the attack on Kuhn, an’ all, and also been trying to… use more terms of happiness towards my friends. Do you not like it?”

Harper seemed to be weighing something on her mind, as though she was deciding which words she should return to Sindri in turn. Sindri only stared back, her look of confusion not altering. Harper did not seem keen to share and Sindri didn't quite like being left in the dark.

A nervous lick of her lips and her own head tilting later, she spoke up. Her explanation seemed, odd, to say the least. Sindri wasn't buying it. “I don't entirely think 'darling' or 'love' are quite proper terms towards friends.” She said with a snort but a smile on her lips as she did so. Maybe those terms were lost in translation by the Russian. Whatever it was, it was cute to see Harper try to backtrack her words.

Once, a time ago, Sindri was a much more playful and lighthearted woman. But with time and much hardship, she was more aggressive and serious. Harper was trying to pull that out of her. Whether it worked or not, time would tell... “Sindri will do for now, I think.” She states with a smirk and then, “Do you think the cat will recover well?”
