Naira smiled at their concern. "It's not a physical thing... It's..." she should have known better, and then a faint grin crossed her muzzle "It's like the earth is calling to me and I need to find out where it leads...Although it's eased a bit with the company..." She still had no idea where it would lead her, but like her brother, she was curious and she couldn't let it go.

Mated? She looked at the two wolves that reminded her of her parents so. The large black male and the tiny arctic female, but even they had returned to her fathers pack when it came time to have pups. Lone couples rarely established packs without support. Maybe there was a reason he had demanded she show herself...

prayin' for daylight, waitin' for that morning sun so i can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Sabre gave her a friendly smile, entirely genuine despite his bad mood leftover from the encounter with the males. "If it's eased with the company then perhaps company is the solution," he offered. Wolves naturally wanted to be with other wolves. That's why there were packs; wolves needed each other to survive. Even he, who had so much trouble getting along with others, needed companionship, as was obvious by the presence of his mate. "Even we will someday be a part of a pack," he continued. "We need the company and the support that one provides." God. He sounded like some philosophical old wolf, spouting off information as if he knew everything, or something along those lines. "Ultimately, our goal is to create our own pack and raise a family." baby come back to me, i swear I'll make it right don't make me spend another lonely night prayin' for daylight

Naira's ears pulled back defensively as she scented a stranger approaching. Taking a more dominant stance she turned to pinpoint the location it was coming from. When she sighted the small lone white female she shifted to a more neutral stance. They were after allies, they didn't need her scaring them off.

She wondered why Rainuh was so quiet and content to allow her mate to speak for her. She knew she certainly would never let a male speak for her. Her grandmother certainly never had, nor her mother and they were the two wolves she admired the most. She remembered them fondly with a smile and looked to the stranger who had just arrived in their midsts. She looked less than impressed at standing in the marsh and Naira moved to the side of her little dry patch indicating the other she-wolf should join them. The pangs lessened the more wolves she ran into but she was still curious where the pull would lead her.

prayin' for daylight, waitin' for that morning sun so i can act like my whole life ain't goin' wrong Sabre looked pointedly down at his mate, hoping that she would speak up and help him out here. If they were to start a pack then they would need as many allies as they could get. He was hoping that she would help convince some wolves - particularly females - into joining with them now that they were making the plans to start a pack. If they were ever going to raise a family they needed this, and she was better at talking to females than he was. His gruff attitude tended to get in the way of making connections with the opposite sex. He picked up the scent of a second female just before she stepped out of the marsh, standing in clear view of the three already gathered there. He tried his best to keep his temper from rising, but his body tensed back up and he pricked his ears and lifted his head dominantly. "can I help you?" he asked in a formal matter, sounding cold without meaning to. He watched as the first female - he didn't have a name for her yet - made room for the second on a dry patch of ground. Now he desperately hoped that Rainuh might help him out here. He didn't know how to handle the situation. baby come back to me, i swear I'll make it right don't make me spend another lonely night prayin' for daylight

Naira had been watching the male. He rubbed her the wrong way and seemed to act as if he was lord of this land when he was little more than a loner like the rest of them. A mated loner yes, but what gave him the right to demand explanation from the stranger as to why she was here. It was free land where any were free to roam without need to explain themselves to others. His mate was much more agreeable, if a little submissive to the brute for Naira's liking.

"Naira..." she almost added Nia for the females benefit but thought the male may take it as an open invitation. She still wasn't sure about these wolves. She turned to observe the new arrival. She too seemed on edge by the whole situation and she was carrying herself as if her leg was causing her pain. She could see the willow trees waving in the distance and fought the urge to race to them and snap off the branches for the new white wolf. No point jumping to assumptions. "Are you injured?" She asked gently. Her grandmother had taught her all manner of plants and herbs of which willow was one of her favourites. It took away swelling and pain, even if it did taste awful, it would help take the edge off all but the worst of injuries.
