your car crash in slow motion

Naira's exit, one more and we can archive and get her added to the pack :)

We're running with the shadows of the night

so baby take my hand, it'll be alright

Temporary residents had not been welcomed in the past although, with a winter so harsh she would be a fool to turn the girl away. Far from the number of pups to feed waning, it had increased, from two, to three and now four. She would take whatever help she could get. “There are children to watch, and teach what we can - the boys are not my own, but they both show promise... @Mercy seems to be intent on proving himself as a hunter, and @Karpos seems to have taken a glean to guardianship... the girls...” a small sigh left her mouth then as her head began to ache at the prospect. “@Nova, perhaps could take a glean to herb lore, were there anything to teach her under all this snow... @Aponi...” She simply let her voice trail off as the tiniest movement of white against the pristine backdrop caught her attention.

Momentarily it crossed her mind that she did not know this woman’s name yet, and still she brushed against the black wolf, avoiding her silver eyes and pushing down the niggling thought that perhaps this was another Aquila trying to weasel their way into her pack. She was confident she could handle any drama this woman might bring if she was. After all, for now her intentions seemed innocent enough for now.

Formality over with, the large wolf crouched, her eyes locked on the rabbit ahead. With the stranger now under the protection of her pack, food was her only priority.

@Naira Eek's attention instantly hooked into the word 'children.'She hadn't even considered that they would have young as well. The residual sadness that had remained now completely vanished as her heart picked up a few beats. No, this would definitely be a worthwhile, even if forced, vacation. So long as she could play her cards right. This Naira, though Eek had warmed to her, still seemed more shrewd to the likes of herself than her true alpha pair. But then she would only have to tighten the mask. "I serve my pack as a medic; I could do the same for you, and I would be willing to talk with Nova and share what I can given the season," she offered, sugar on her tongue. It was the perfect thing, a blessed opportunity. If she could bond with the girl under the guise of tutelage, perhaps... she could sneak the child across the range and claim her as her own. Tell Phineas that she had found her in the storm and could not find her family. In her rushed optimism, Eek saw no flaws in this plan; she did not think of her intentions being discovered, of Naira's fatal determination to regain her daughter, of Nova's own emotions... Eek blinked away the conniving thoughts as she felt Naira pass by, finalizing her acceptance. With yet another smile, the girl followed behind her temporary luminary, and moved into position to assist the hunt.
