It made her sad that she couldn't go to Lorc and show him how happy she was to see him but her mother has told her to stay. She didn't want to get into more trouble with her mother in front of everyone there. So she waited, watched, and listened to all that was going on even though she didn't understand it all. She noticed Laike leave them first and she watched him disappear into the forest. When she turned back she heard her uncle Lach say the word home to Lorc, she knew what that word meant. Her little black tail wagged happily behind her, Lorc was home and everything would be better now. She made to move toward him but remembered what her mother had said so remained at her paws.

Uncle Lach left leaving her and her mother with Lorc and then her mother talked to him. Like always she didn't know everything that her mother was saying. It was frustrating but she didn't have time to worry about it because her mother was nudging her and telling her she could see Lorc later. She whined wanting to go to him but her mother's word had to be obeyed. When Inna started leave Oksana was right behind her but she didn't leave with one last look at Lorc. She hoped she would see him later outside the den after he ate. She then turned and followed her mother back to the den where she could finish her nap.
