Jaysyek was doing her regular routine, this time she was checking for animals, checking for those strange pack's scent. They had found it wasn't the first time they had come to their home, and it chilled her to the bone how close they were, how daring and bold. She wished the River wolves could get their teeth upon them, even now she wanted to get her own. There was no security now, nothing, and it was the worst feeling in the world. Alone, she let herself flow with her emotions, feel what she wanted until a howl pierced the air. Someone she did not know, but calling for Shadowstorm. This Nina she had spoken about? Was it enough to have more strangers? There was a low rumble in her chest, her tail seeming to poof as it was held above her. She counted on Shadowstorm to reach her first. She wondered would she tell them to leave?

Padding along the snow cut trails, her nose kept quivering, then she heard Shadow's voice. It was was this Nina, but there was nothing rude in her tone or questioning. It made the Leader pause, she wondered why Shadowstorm didn't want to be with her friend. Follko gone, she had seem out of sorts. Did she know he was still sick, that..he couldn't stay here. A sigh blew through her lips, she tried not to feel angry or sad. She wanted to let this Nina know they didn't like a lot of coming and goings. When Jaysyek's eyes fell upon her she knew they were the group who had started their hunting expedition in her forest, but the female had not spoken up or made a sound. She had left it all to the male, who looked no where to be found. The Grizzly Hollow leader could smell him upon her. Were they mates?

"Shadowstorm, is this your friend?" She would ask, to see if for sure after all. A gaze of indifference was given to the small red wolf, who looked like she had taken injury to her eye awhile ago. The leader awaited for Shadow's answer, or an introduction from this other.
