Now she had one more mouth to feed. A mouth that couldn't help the pack much at all with guarding or hunting. Though Narimé watched the young white Poison Path pup Aphrodite get along well enough with her own children. She couldn't just throw the girl out while they (the pack) still had the ability to care for all four pups. Besides, the child was kind, gentle, and still trusting of Nari and her pack mates despite the dramatic events she had gone through. Even though Aphie was not her own, Nari found her mothering instincts forcing her closer to the child who needed her care. Malia's not going to like having a new sister though. Nari held half a smile on her face as she loped through the meadow.

The silver wolf was on her way out to hunt since Minka, the packs lead hunter had disappeared from the pack. Kino had also been missing for some time however the gray man had appeared only a few days before telling Nari of the trouble that had occurred. With a talented hunter out of work from an injury Narimé found herself needing to go out to hunt in order to feed the ever growing brood of pups back home.

She hadn't even made it half way through the meadow when the scent of blood and wolf hit her nose. Nari didn't recognize the wolfs pack scent that clung to the air so she pointed her nose in the direction of the smell and lithely darted forward to find the injured wolf. Her muscles were tense waiting for an attack if it came. Nari stopped herself short angling her ears forward as noise came to her through the long grass. What she had finally come upon was the dark wolf muttering about a bobcat as it padded towards her through the grass.

"Yeah bobcat's can be nasty sometimes.." Narimé called out hoping the wolf would notice her and stop. The silver woman kept her tail stiff behind her lowered into a neutral position. Her head rose confidently, ears twitched the side perched atop her silver crown as she glanced once over the females injuries. They didn't look fatal at least. "Excuse me but are you looking for something? Or someone?" Nari thought that a pack wolf would only be out and about if it were looking for prey or if it was a scout. She wasn't sure which this wolf was, and for a moment Nari did not recognize that one of the scents mixed upon the womans dark coat was her friend Shade's smell.

She watched quietly listening to the womans voice as a small smile lit her features. Tilting her head in a curious manner Nari let herself relax further and let her tail droop behind her. So she is a scout. For Pitch Pine Trail pack? I wonder who leads it that they would want to talk with me for. Nari thought back on who she knew who were alpha's. El obviously, Koda, Nina (but she already knew of their packs), Jaysyek whom Nari was wondering what had happened to the white woman and her pack Grizzly Hollow, and lastly both Phineas and Shade who had both mentioned starting packs across the mountains. The silver wolf was not sure just who it was that led Pitch Pine Trail.

"Well you are in luck. I am a Whisper Caverns wolf and I know the alphas. " She grinned not letting on at first that Nari was actually the alpha herself.

"Firstly we should get you cleaned up before you meet them. I know where there's a puddle or two from the last rain storm. Come with me." Narimé wagged her tail and turned to her right then started padding towards the last puddle she had remembered passing on the way there. Keeping an ear angled behind her to make sure Nari could hear Silver following, the silver hunter led her scout acquaintance to the kinda small muddy puddle. Unfortunately there wasn't much else for the Pitch Pine wolf to clean up in. In fact the puddle itself might make her a little more muddy and dirty than anything.

Once she stopped at the puddle and pointed to it Nari sat down allowing her tail to wag ever so slightly. Though out of habit she had her head raised a bit higher than perhaps a normal loner or subordinate should. "So ah.. Who's the leader of your pack? I'm kinda curious who wants to talk with Nari and Sloane." the silver wolf smiled warmly wondering if the scout would give such information out to a simple subordinate of a pack.

Nari watched and listened as the dark she wolf cleaned herself off then sat down in front of her. Tilting her head ever so slightly as curiosity got the best of the young inexperienced alpha. Her gray ears twitched as Silver respectfully declined the information of her alpha's from Narimé.

She tilted her head in the other direction now copying Silver's own position with a playful smile. Then the gray woman pricked her ears forward as the shadowy scout spoke again.

"You must be under the Alpha? I noticed you seem to hold your head proud and high." The Pitch Pine wolf inquired quickly noting Nari's habitual lifted head and chin. Though the silverhunter had not noticed it herself until now. A split second her face showed confusion then Narimé righted herself. I guess I look a little more the part after leading the pack for a while. When did I start keeping my head up high? she shook off her thoughts then closed her eyes and sighed.

"Well that's because I am the alpha of Whisper Caverns. I apologize for not telling you my name before, but I'm Narimé Lagina Thorben." she opened her violet hued blue eyes and gave Silver a warm smile. "Sorry but I was just trying to figure out who you are. Though I'm still curious of your pack. It sounds... new. By any chance is Shade Slayer or Phineas Argyris leading your pack?" She asked knowing that both males had spoken of starting packs over the mountains. It would be nice to get some information about her old friends Nari hadn't seen in a while.

Narimé nodded as the wolf answered her. "Yes I really am her. " She listened on as Silver spoke of her own packs alpha's, to which Nari gave a smile. She was happy for her friend and Shade to have also gotten his own pack and family to take care of. The question of allying with the dark brownish black wolf's pack also seemed only natural for her as Shade had been like an older brother to the young woman while within Willow Ridge. She hoped to keep in contact with the Pitch Pine Trail alpha too now that his own pack was firmly established.

However the name Anastasia did not ring a bell with her. Who is that? This Anastasia who's alpha female... What happened to Rosealia? she did not voice her questions knowing that it was most liekly something to go over with Shade next time she saw him. Only then would she satisfy her own growing curiosity.

"Shade is a dear friend of mine. Though Sloane does not know him too well. I know how good Shade is and I would be happy to set up an alliance with his, and your pack. " Narimé tilted her head back to its normal position with a slightly more serious look on her face. The look only being there because of the woman going through what she knew about Shade's life so far. That he'd left with Rose to start a pack over the mountains. However the silver wolf knew that there was a heck of a lot to catch up on.

"Fireweed Rise is a good place. However the time...Would meeting six days from now be alright? Or perhaps seven to give you extra time over the mountains? " Narimé glanced back in Silvers direction inquisitively awaiting the answer. She would have remember well to be waiting at the Rise on that day for her friend.

Narimé righted herself and brought her body to a standing position before the respectful scout. Her silver fur fluffed up against the breeze as it passed over the pair of she wolves. The gray wolf curiously watched Silver lick her nose and lip while mulling over the idea of getting help from a healer. Nari stifled a yawn while the shorter wolf collected her thoughts.

Narimé spotted the tilted head of the woman and glanced towards Silver ready to hear what else she had to say.

"I believe I might visit again, just to make sure everything is safe with you and your pack. You seem like a good wolf so you shall be under my protection. If anything is ever needed you have someone come and get me if I don't find out first." Silver spoke with Nari's full attention. The silver alpha's gray head nodded with a smile upon her maw.

"You are welcome to visit anytime." She answered only partially wondering what might happen to her family that she might need help from wolves across the mountains. If anything did happen she would speak with allies who were closer to her. Still Nari was glad that she had made another connection that might help her pack and keep her pups safe.

When Silver crouched Narimé dipped her head recognizing her new friends submissive pose. "It's the same on this end too though. If you, Shade, or Rosealia need our help just send someone over. I'm happy to help my old friend Shade and his pack mates." She let her gaze float off of Silver's orbs and onto the surrounding landscape. There wasn't much else to be said and done now that a meeting time was set up. Unless the wolves wanted to start up a little small talk.
