Lilya forced herself to move around – sitting in one place for too long made her feel like a sitting duck just waiting to get shot at. She was too paranoid to remain in one place for days on end and so she’d force herself to walk to the river for a drink, or to try and hunt for a snack for herself or one of the other mothers… it hadn’t always worked out that way, and she’d been sleeping a lot, but when she did manage to do something, she felt a sense of accomplishment. She was heading to a small stream, an offshoot of the river, that she’d found in the territory when she spotted a wolf she had not honestly expected to see again.

The woman was a little behind on pack updates, including who had joined the pack recently and who had not. She was surprised to see him there – did Lachesis know he was here, given everything that had happened back when Lilya had been deep in her heat? “Ayti!” She greeted softly with a wag of her tail. She should really apologize for her behavior during their first meeting, but there would be time for that later. “It’s good to see you again!” It wasn’t a lie – despite everything that had happened, she still liked the man. She just didn’t like him like that in the sense of how she liked Lachesis... even then those were feelings she had a hard time confronting.
