After Titan had come back multiple times from venturing out to the borders without her permission; Nari was finally able to get him to stay home after telling him she would take him out herself every once in a while to explore. Though the mother had known of his previous escapades mainly because the dark boy would try to leave his scent on their borders. It was really rather funny to her that he wanted to help out the adults with their jobs already at such a young age. However she would rather be near him making sure he's safe while exploring than let Titan find his own way around. Call it a mothers protective instincts to keep an eye on her child so no coyotes or bears snatched him up, but she wasn't about to let him keep going out alone.

So today while Malia and Yuka were distracted by their father Sloane, Nari agreed to let the dark lad come with her and stretch his legs. Even after watching them grow for so long the silver wolf was amazed at how he could so easily keep up now. Although it was really she keeping up with his boundless energy as the young Shadowy Thorben bounded along a head of her loosing a complaint about her watchfulness.

"I know you can walk for yourself. Just look out for snakes okay Titan? Remember the long slender things. They will hurt if they bite you!" Nari was pretty sure he hadn't listened to her reminder of what could be a dangerous reptile depending on the kind you come across. Instead she watched him scenting the air. It occurred to her that she could scent rabbit very close by. Those stupid critters that liked to hide on you until the very last moment before stepping on them. She was kinda glad that Titan had stopped before scaring up the two rabbits that she could scent were hiding.

Quickly she dropped into a hunters crouch. Though stalking wasn't a very wolfy thing to do they did practice it sometimes, and especially with rabbits. " That smell right now.. It's food. A rabbit. Watch me and Shhhh..." Pulling up to her ebony son Nari gave him a little description of their prey and even though she told him to "watch" the woman was pretty sure he would try it for himself after possibly seeing the second rabbit flee.

They waited until one rabbit came out of hiding. Then, not seeing her sons glance towards her, Narimé sped forward towards the rabbit. The dugout the rabbits had hid under was not deep at all now that she was close enough to see. Both rabbits fled the scene trying to escape the mad silver wolf sprinting after them.

Narimé's breath came in gasps. This rabbit had managed to evade her jaws once and turned sharply to her left. The silver wolf followed but at a much wider angle for she could not turn as quickly as the rabbit. Nari had lost some ground but thank her genetics she had the stamina to continue the chase.

The grasses sped by the young alpha's vision while running through the golden meadow. The tall tendrils of plants whipped her sides as Nari passed through them after her prey. For the moment she had forgotten about Titan and whether he was following or not. Right now supplying a good meal for him was the priority running just a tail length a head of her.

Using one last burst of strength Narimé lengthened her stride to her fullest and powered towards her small furry victim. The gray carnivore's viscous teeth snapped once missing again then twice grabbing the rabbit by its rear end. Quickly the gray hunter slowed her pace down while closing her eyes and wrinkling her nose back to avoid the rabbit still clawing at her with front legs. Its screeching cries were cut off as Narimé finally stopped outright and replaced her hold to bite the rabbits back. Snapping the thick bone finished the creature; now laying limp in her jaws.

For a few moments she caught her breath and looked around for Titan. Where could he have gotten too? Nari felt worry prickled through her gray pelt making it stand on end. Had he not followed her?

She took the rabbit with her and retraced her steps. Unbeknownst to the woman was that her cub had stumbled upon another hunter. For now the silver mother anxiously worried while heading back the way she'd come.

"speech"

She padded forward scenting her son even through the soft brown rabbit fur around her lips. A bird swiftly alerted her presence to anyone nearby with a harsh alarm call that grated upon her silver ears. Then Narimé arrived rabbit held loosely within her jaws as she padded into the grassy area where her son and another stood quite relaxed with each other. At least it seemed that way to her eyes. The silver wolf regarded the womans hello with a weary short nod of her head.

However before she got the chance to even be angry at the loner for coming so close to her son Titan spoke up congratulating her on the catch. Though the young mother caught his saddened look as the dark Thorben revealed that he couldn't catch his own fluffy rabbit. Narimé sighed and chuckled unable to talk with the fur stuck in her mouth. Her eyes however stayed glued to the dark black and gray speckled she wolf who watched nervously from her place.

Setting down her catch to talk to the stranger Nari was once more cut off by Titan's voice. He spoke of running into the other woman. Then gave Nari a name to place to the dark strangers face. Harp is it? She thought quietly switching her gaze from Titan to Harp.

"Thank you for not harming my son." She spoke carefully knowing that strangers could be dangerous. Though this one had obviously intended no harm to her child, or else she'd have done something to him already.

"Titan this is for you and don't worry. Your legs will grow soon enough. You'll be able to hunt with me before long."She gestured to her raven pelted child pushing the rabbit towards him with her paw. Then her blue eyes changed to Harp a little softer gaze lighting her features. "So your a loner. Were you hunting just now? We didn't mean to surprise you." She gave the darker wolf a half smile while trying to start up some sort of conversation.

"Ah... I know your name but you don't know mine. Well my name is Narimé Lagina Thorben. I lead the pack just north of here. " She added her name after the questions remembering that it was rude not to give someone your name if they had already given theirs. Though it was to Titan she gave her name to not me.. She thought quietly while awaiting an answer.
