She had been keeping her distance from the younger female she knew was somewhere nearby. Her last few encounters with females had been strange to say the least. She knew she was close now, her brothers scent everywhere. She only hoped to catch sight of him, to know that he was ok, and the. The long tawny coated lady would blend back into the trees and move on...or at least that was what she told herself.

The howl piqued her curiousity though as she crept forward low to the ground, the long fur hanging from her belly dragging in the snow. She would need to groom herself again after this or the fur would matt. She grimaced at the thought. It had taken her so long to get the knots and matts out from her journey here. She would rather not let it reach that point again.

As the young female came into sight, so did a yearling male, a little on the thin side but she could tell he was in the process of recovery, the scent of pack and particularly her brother thick in his scent. She debated remaining concealed but knew before the thought completed its cycle that she wouldn't. She had little to fear from a pair of yearlings and found herself again longin for company. She struggled to leave a smirk from her face at the dominant stance of the male. Someone had been spending a lot of time with Kanosak it would seem.

She rose gracefully from her crouch and walked forward, head and tail even with her spine, her golden eyes so much like her brothers flicking between the two wolves as she came to a rest not far from the conversing pair. "close yes, but not yet intruding..."

Kashikoi clever and Accailia adopter of human twins... interesting names. I wonder if the wolves will live up to their names... she thought to herself and stored the names and scents for later, looking from one young wolf to the other before smiling, revealing her pearly white teeth.

"I am Naira. I believe you may be acquainted with my brother Kashikoi." she replied gently, taking any edge off her voice and using the calm tone she used when she was attempting to calm a wolf to allow her healing. She appreciated the manners of the younger wolves. It was something a lot of wolves seemed to be lacking, but you would rarely find yourself at the sharp end of a strangers teeth by being too polite.

She already knew which pack Kashikoi belonged to, the same one as her brother. And so she allowed herself to breath deeply taking in the scents around her, eyes half closing as her ears twitching, taking in the minute scurrying of voles beneath the snow in their little burrows, the chirping of the birds in the trees and something else. Something heavy. Her brow drew in as she tried to pinpoint the sound. It was a ways off but still something about it kicked her predator into overdrive.

Food. She wasn't hungry, but that didn't change the way the creature registered in her mind.

"Deer." she whispered with a small smile to herself as more of the thudding came to her ears, content that she had identified the sound. That rustling was a raccoon, and that crack was tree branch breaking under the weight of the snow that had gathered on its branches. She pawed her feet deeper into the snow until her toes bunched in the dirt, allowing her to better sense the vibrations of the earth.

The snows would melt soon. Not soon enough for her liking, she needed to build up stores. There were clearly more sick and injured wolves here than a healer could throw a stick at. Content that no danger was approaching she reopened her eyes and looked from one yearling to the next with a peaceful smile on her face. Content they would no be receiving any nasty interruptions any time soon.
