Despite having grown used to the frigid temperatures of her home, Hotaru was a lightly boned beauty, and the freeze of winter often drove her into shaking fits that could only be pushed away by the warmth of the springs. Sometimes, however, her old outcast nature came back with a vengeance. Tickling deep inside her bones, forcing her into travel and adventure once more. Arya was growing slowly older, but Hotaru was just as reluctant to part from her as any other time. Still, Odette was a wonderful guardian, and Hotaru trusted her snowborne family to help watch over her precious huntress. So she wandered round the southern parts of the peninsula, seeking warmth that only really came from the magma of the Veins or the fires of the Heart.

The isolation of the Veins not an attractive option for her, Hotaru let her hooves carry her onward, memories of a time when she and Raeden were younger woven into her mind. One of the few semi-positive memories she had of her twin sister, who she'd shamelessly disowned. Merely one more step into perfecting herself, eradicating all potential weaknesses. All but her daughter, her precious Arya.

A screech flattens her ears in surprise, crowned brow lifting to stare in the direction of the source, brow drawing close at the weird squawking that formed equine words. Huffing, the she-wolf moved closer, observing the situation. Her heart stuttered to see a sentient turkey staring hungrily down at an egg, motherly instincts leaping to the forefront. Charging forth she made a sharp sound, hoping to startle the bird away from it, useless to stop herself even if it would surely damage her chances. "Stop!" Jogging closer, the mother tried to calm the bristling of her emotions, think clearly. She'd likely pissed off the turkey, and the egg probably wouldn't be given to her now, but she was not regretful. Instinct was instinct.

"I will feed you. Leave the babe be." Voice sinks low into a nearly dangerous tone. Hotaru would not allow an unborn life to be destroyed simply because the feathered thing was hungry. Frostfall or not, Hotaru simply would not stand for such barbarism as a mother.
