The mother watched in happiness as her pups seemed to warm up at the idea of meeting new wolves. And she liked particularly how Ashton was quick to try and learn their names. I wide grin formed on her face in happiness at his accomplishment, but lightly stressed the words of the name that he had missed. "You mean Iopah," she watched on in amusement as Danica and Tacoma soon followed in learning others names. It wasn’t long that their little gathering had formed, that her pack mates began to take their leave, knowing that they had other duties to attend to. Even though she longed for them to stay with her, she had to praise their commitment. So with a nod of her head she allowed them to go their own ways, letting a small smile grace her features. Though her mate had not come, she was still highly pleased with the way things had turned out.

Knowing it was now time for her children to sleep and rest, she turned them back towards where they had come, nudging them lightly back towards their den and cooing them in soft, commanding tones, "Come on, you three. It’s time for you to get some more rest." She was quick to get them settled and her golden brown body curled around them in a protective manner. Nina loved her children very much and would definitely make sure that they had a better childhood than she did. That would include knowing their family and being protected at all times.
