Almost a week had passed since the pups were introduced to each other and now they were settled into the medical den. For the first few days Leotie had been reluctant to leave them alone. They were still so young but she knew she would have to leave them to return to her duties soon. Until then she was staying close by to keep an eye on them which also would give Ravenna the freedom to get back to her duties if she wished.

With the pups now reaching a month old Leotie felt they could be alone a little more. So she would prolong her trips outside the den for a little longer. Which was what had led her to be laying outside the den. The weather was nicer then he had been in past weeks so she'd decided to enjoy it for a little while.

She rested on her side just outside the mouth of the den watching a couple of birds argue over a twig. Their chattering was keeping her from sleep but she didn't mind too much or else she would have just chased them away.

The Agouti woman was fully expecting to be left to her quiet time as she laid outside the den. She loved the children of course but even she needed a few moments. Especially now that they were starting to move around more. She of course waited until they were napping before leaving them. It was good to get some fresh air and some time to come to terms with the fact she would have to leave them to return to her duties soon. She was still second in the pack and had her own responsibilities.

The new mothers attention was caught by the approach of the dark female that she'd yet had the chance to really get to know. A smile crossed her features in greeting. “Hello Enia, there's nothing I need at this moment but you can join me,” she said as she raised her head until she was sitting sternally. “I haven't had the chance to speak with you and now is a perfect time.” Leotie had always liked to know all the members of the pack. Holding the position she did she felt it was an important part of that.

Leotie wasn't expecting the response from the younger female at her invitation but it pleased her all the same. She waited with a smile across her features for Enia to get settled and before she could speak she was being asked a question. “I was hoping we could get to know each other a little better. Is there anything you might like to accomplish while you are here?” They could start there and move on from there. If there was something that she could help Enia with then she would like to he able to do that. Leotie also liked to know more about those she was in a pack with especially now that she had children to consider.

With the pups getting bigger and other members of the pack to watch over them Leotie knew it was time she got back to work. Part of that she felt was to help the newer members feel welcome and to find their place within the pack. More than that though she found Willow Ridge to be a closer knit pack than others she'd been in which was what she liked best about it. Enia was new and Leotie felt she was still finding her footing she hoped that spending some time getting to know her would help the girl. “That’s a very good attitude to have and I think it will take you far. It's the same one I had when I first came to the lore and joined my first pack.” Leotie had always had that sort of attitude and she felt it served her well. She could see good things for Enia in the future. The Agouti woman smiled as the younger female spoke of her father and what he thought of the role she should take up. “I don't see why you couldn't train to be a scout and work on other things. That way if your needed elsewhere you have the training there too. When I came to the ridge I was working toward being both a scout and a guardian so I could fill both roles if need be.” Her passion was scouting though but like Enia she was willing to do what the pack needed. “My point is Enia you should do what's in your heart.”

Enia was new to the pack and the last thing that Leotie wanted to do was discourage her from being successful. Leotie had always had a sense of what she wanted to do in a pack but she knew not everyone did know. Her words were encouraging and she hoped took some pressure off the young female in figuring out what she wanted to do in the ridge. “Your welcome and. I hope it serves you well Enia. Just remember I want to see you succeed and get happy so I will help however I can.” Perhaps knowing someone was in her corner would help as well. “I've been here since the fall. Sometimes it feels like I've been here all along and other times it feels like such a short amount of time.” She wasn't sure why that was but she had gained her bearings and learned the ropes, Enia could too.
