It had all started out as a regular day for the she-wolf. Wake up, grab some grub and head out to scout more land, not only of their territory, but the surrounding one's as well. She was just heading back to the den for a short break to see if the pups were in a playing mood, when all hell broke loose.

"What are you doing with my son?"

Definitely not good. Angry Minka was not a fun Minka to be around with, and she cringed to whoever her friend was currently laying it into. She turned around and headed to where Minka, and undoubtedly her adventurous son were. She arrived onto the scene with a soft grimace, just in time to hear Kova in his little puppy voice, yelling at his mother to justify this 'Namid' girl's actions, who was definitely not a pack mate. In quick but light steps she hurried to Minka's side, ready to do damage control. As the natural peacemaker, she nodded her head in a submissive greeting to her alpha, before laying her eyes onto the loner. Her icy gaze wasn't full of warmth as usual. She eyed the woman in warning, also wanting to know what she had been doing so close to the pup. Was she a friend or foe? Interrogation was not her job here, so she turned her gaze from Namid to the pup busily pawing at Minka's feet. Giving him a stern look, she opened her maw. "Come," Inali commanded in her gentle tone for his ears alone, nodding at her paws. His Momma was busy, and didn't need him as a distraction. As second, Inali also knew she had to get Kova out of Minka's way so Inali could also know more about the woman in front of them. What second would she be if she did not stand beside her alpha, striving to be the voice of reason in the tension filled atmosphere. She just hoped Kova wasn't in a stubborn mood and could see that his mother was just not in the mood. Her attention divided between her alpha, the loner, and Kova, she waited for what was to happen next.

Inali breathed a mental sigh of relief as Kova conceded to her demand. A frown tugged at her muzzle at the boy's obvious distress. Desperate to soothe the pup, Inali bowed her head. "I know, child. Do not fret over one mistake," she murmered. Softly she licked the crown of his head and looked up as his mother turned and reprimanded him in a worried motherly tone. Lifting herself to her full height (which really wasn't much), she once again made herself pay attention to the proceedings going on in front of her. Minka turned away from her son and faced the loner. Keeping herself still, the woman watched as Minka spoke in a cold voice, effectively dismissing Namid. The small fae agreed with her words, for though she was a kind person, she was wary of loners. Especially when they were around children. The world wasn't a place of sunshine and rainbows, it was a cruel place. Full of evil and sadness and heartbreak. Even in her little piece of heaven nestled in the Blackberry Fields, she had to remember that. Not every wolf was of good intent.

Though she had to admit, she didn't receive any bad vibes from the silver pelted woman and that brought her relief. Watching as Minka turned and picked up her child, Inali herself turned her attention towards the loner. "I hope you heed our warning. Good day, Miss Namid." With her own nod of dismissal, Inali turned and made her way back into pack lands.
