PALLIDSITH

Hi mom! Hi dad!

This is Countess, your firstborn! Can you believe I'm almost three months old now? It feels like I just left clan Undercollie Kirell a short while ago...but as snow falls to the ground around me, and I lay here in the blistering cold of the Snowsquall Tundra... I can really feel the time passing now. I watch the snow a lot... watching it come down is such a weird, almost magical sort of experience. Grillby always tells me I should move more... that it's weird for a spiral to sit in place for so long just to watch the snow. I can't help it...it's relaxing, especially when I'm coiling around a tree branch...

I made my bedding pretty close to that of our alpha male, Gaster. The rocky walls are perfect for tunneling, really, and I have a stick I like to sleep around... I haven't found a mate to share that space with yet. I've made...attempts, I suppose, but... I don't know. I will someday, for sure! Maybe even another spiral!

...I hope you're okay, mom and dad. Sometimes...I really miss our old home. I heard you guys moved out of the Abiding Boneyard but... I remember liking it there...for what little I saw of it before I had to leave. I'm glad you guys did what you thought was best for me. But...sometimes I listen to Gaster talk about the plague flight...about his old home...and I really start to wish that I could have seen more of it. Maybe it's just because it was my birthplace, but I

I hear I have lots of brothers and sisters now! That's good, I hope I can meet some of them someday! I met Priestess briefly when our clan visited one of our neighbors - Taloshei. She was super nice! I hope I can see my little sister again at some point - we didn't get to spend a lot of time together... she looks so much like Dad, did you know? I hear I look more like mom...but... I can't see it as much. I guess my petals do.

Anyway, I hope to hear back from you guys at some point. Happy New year, and I love you both so much! Oh! And before I forget, the package is the first thing I ever got while gathering! Take care of it okay????

Sincerely,
Countess
