Lost Lake she use to meet me on the eastside

I think there's a flaw in my code

Seeing the way Moonshadow interacted with the others, Lila understood better. Those were her boys, and she guessed they must all have found each other here because Chan hadn't mentioned her earlier. She was happy for them. It must have been such unexpected, but wonderful surprise. "Thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you two as well." Though strangers they felt a little less now she could put faces with names. Not to mention they were all rather welcoming and her own tail beat easily behind her. She'd feel less like she was infringing upon them not sensing any ill feelings upon her arrival.

A soft laugh fell from her lips at Nash's comment. "He probably has too many to keep track of to properly attend to them," she remarked, giving a wink to the silver brother. Why it was a tease, she didn't doubt he did. He was too nice not to have a number of friends through the years. Especially of the feminine variety.

"I hope you don't mind if I stay here for a few days. I'd like to know more about your lake, and yourselves before I check out the rest of the east." She let her gaze rest on Moonshadow, noticing the scars that adorned her snout. The woman must not have been too many years older than Lila, but she felt like she had a lot more wisdom in her silver gaze. She felt a twinge of sadness, but deflected it by holding onto her warm smile. "Now that I'm here I do hope if you need help with a hunt, or really anything you'll put me to work. It's the least I can do." She didn't want to take advantage of their kindness, and she also wasn't gonna sit idly by. Especially knowing they were trying to form a new pack. Maybe, they had an idea or could come up with something she could do. It was evident she was eager to listen, and help where she could.

I think I need help, cuz I'm drowning in myself

The light tipped tail of the oldest wolf swept the ground please to hear her youngest mind his manners when he greeted the other woman. His teasing of his older brother made the mother chuckle. The lightheartedness lifted her spirits and made her feel more whole, and Lila's banter back only added to this. Silver eyes noticed Aleister keeping to himself as he came down from the ledge. She stood to nudge his shoulder in greeting before turning back to face the others. Lila went on to ask if they didn't mind if she stayed for a few days to get to know them and the lake better. Her blueish grey gaze fell on Moon as she asked. Moon had an inkling that she was primarily asking her since both the agouti boys had invited her for a visit. She then added to put her to work while she visited. "I think that's a fantastic idea." Moon replied her smile widening and her banner picking up its waving pace. "How delightful would a hunt be?" she proposed looking to the males, pausing a little longer on Aleister. She knew he had invited Lila but she also knew the position he would acquire once the cove was revived. This was a perfect decision for him to make the final call on. "But do know hun we won't be puttin ya to work, you're our guest." She really admired the offer, it showed this woman was selfless and considerate. "Now if ya stay longer, that'll be another story" Moonshadow added with a wink and a light laugh. Oh how good it felt to laugh again.

the storm is here

The dark tawny man was content to sit in the shadows watching and listening to the rest of them interacting with one another. He was happy to sit silently as the rest of them carried on their own conversations, small talk was never his strong suit. Aleister was more comfortable with one on one conversations where there wasn’t as much pressure to work through. He could take his time and think properly before saying the wrong thing. In group settings, he fear he would fumble through words or just say the wrong thing all together. So instead he would rather listen until he needed to intervene.

Noticing the playful atmosphere between Chan and Lila, he forced a small smile to his lips to ease the intense of his gaze. Lila revealed her intentions with her visit to the lake, offering her assistance with any of the workload for the Cove. It certainly would be nice to have another soul within the Cove, someone new and different to bring all of them new conversations and experiences. Plus, the dark tawny male already knew he enjoyed the ebony woman’s company, so he was all in favor of Lila staying for little while. Or longer...

Chan was the first to chime in with his opinion, though Aleister could easily assume what his thoughts were without the validation of his words. The Eastfall male’s mismatched gaze fell to him before mentioning a hunt would be a good idea. The Eastfall matriarch also agreed to the idea before mentioning the fact Lila was a Cove guest and wouldn’t be sharing the workload if she could help it. Had Aleister not of liked the Aquila woman already, Aleister wouldn’t be against sharing the workload. Their food was precious, especially in winter. Their caches should be well maintained and not given out haphazardly. All eyes seemed to be upon his dark tawny hide, something he should start getting used to if he intended to lead the Cove. We would love to have you, Lila. And a hunt we shall have, perhaps Chan or Nash can find us something to hunt? He raised a brow to the two of them, hoping one of them would take the initiative to scout for their next meal.

It seemed right to just lay it all out there, she wasn't a freeloader. Why two out of five had invited her, she couldn't help want that from the rest. Which so far so good. Though Aleister's sister had yet to join them. She was a little disappointed, but presumed the woman was likely occupied else where. There'd be time.

It wasn't surprising Chan didn't object, but she never knew what was quite gonna come out of that mouth of his. She almost smirked, but held it back. She could tell he was looking to Aleister. She'd gotten the vibe he would be the leader, but it was different seeing it. How all the Eastfalls looked to him. She was quite interested what he thought as well. Her attention went to Moonshadow, pleased she was glad by the idea. It was no wonder Chan had a sweet heart too, still she hadn't known what to expect. It hadn't quite been this homey atmosphere, being treated as a guest that was for sure. It was a bit foreign to her, but she was starting to think she'd better really consider to join them or not. Like other things she pushed it from her mind.

Thankfully, Aleister agreed to a hunt, putting the first part of the job to the Eastfall boys. Moonshadow might have said she didn't need to work, but she was glad she could help hunt at least. Thank you, she mouthed to Aleister.

The prospects of having a hunt as a group excited the aging she wolf but also made her a bit nervous. It had been so long since she had done so and she was so much older than she was. Moon knew she wasnt that old yet but having spent the majority of her life on her own had taken its toll. Moving her attention from her own thoughts and worry Moonshadow nodded in agreement to Aleister's suggestion of either Chan or Nash finding something for them to all hunt. Looking between the two brothers she gave both of them an encouraging smile. She knew Nash would probably need it more since he was still only in his second year but the dark mother had all the faith in the world for their skills. Her eldest of course agreed with confidence and stated it was time for a tour. Rising to her feet Moon gave her onyx pelt a good shake before waiting for Chan to begin his tour.
