Thicket of Secrets Flesh Into Gear

He watched with a plesant gaze as Nina and Pakuna got briefly reacquainted with each other. So Nina had been part of this Copper Rock Creek? Interesting. He was sure to find some time and ask her about it later, but for now, he had to get back into focus. Pakuna was beginning to speak, and a smile tugged at his muzzle at her words and what it caused Nina to do. The woman finished speaking and silence surrounded them all three. Her words had been blunt, but sprinkled with truth.

Nina, Miccah. I says before- I be lookin' for a new family. I b'lieve I'd make a good Advisor, I do. Me legs may be old but me heart isn't, nor me mind."

Miccah's blue orbs roved over Pakuna's figure. She was far in age, but she was in good health. His gaze then turned to Nina, his blue eyes searching her green ones. It was clear that the Lady of the Thickets was close to this woman, trusted her even. Miccah knew trust was hard to come by, especially in Nina's case. They were making progress, him and Nina. It was in the way that she had turned and searched for his mutual approval. She had already accepted Pakuna, now all that was left was his own words to seal the deal. Mulling it over one last time, he made his decision final.

Nodding to Nina, he turned to Pakuna with a smile. Opening his maw, he spoke. "a friend of Nina's is a friend of mine. Like I said before, I believe you will become a great asset to our pack." The alpha moved and grasped Pakuna's muzzle in a firm, but gentle grasp. Pulling away, Miccah circled Pakuna to mark her with his scent, the scent of Secret Woodlands. Facing the elder once again, Miccah nodded. "Welcome to Secret Woodlands, Pakuna." Smiling kindly, he nodded to both women in farewell. "I'm sorry to be leaving so soon, but I have duties to attend to. I will seek you soon, Pakuna. Until then, Nina and Pakuna." With a gentle flick of his black banner, the alpha turned and dissapeared into the shadows of his home.

@Nina, would you like to wrap it up? We can fade.

Pakuna bows her head at Miccah's approach. She remains relaxed as he takes her muzzle in his jaws to mark her as a new member. After his release, she nods and speaks, "Thank ye, Miccah. I be seein' ye soon." After the wolf walks off, she turns toward Nina. "Would ye like to show me back, Nina?" The older woman's head tilts slightly as she asks the bracken woman diagonal from her. Excitement began to stir within the Atea woman's chest. She finally had a family again- it was like a second Copper Rock Creek. She was anxious to prove her worth, but she knew such would come in time.

Quietly now the woman steps forward, her nose lifting as she scents the breeze. It was very fortunate she had come to this pack's borders. Who else knows where she would have ended up? She enjoyed the general area that Copper Rock had once been in, thus is why she crept around this part of the Lore. The Thicket of Secrets would be a new home to adapt to. She had no doubts that she would fit in here.

Her luck with other wolves had been quite good. She had never gotten into a serious fight in the Lore. Pakuna had met several interesting characters, but Nina was the friend she felt she was closest to. Slightly turning her head now, the brown coated woman awaits Nina's next move. She was ready to go and begin a new chapter of her life.

Nina struggled in waiting for a reply from the other man, but even if he refused, the mother would most likely welcome her old friend back into her family. Nina knew she needed others that she could trust and she knew that it would not happen if she didn't get to know her new members. An old friend wouldn't hurt her though and when Miccah's nod of affirmation came to her, she happily greeted her friend back into her place. She waited until Miccah had left to turn her full gaze onto the woman in front of her. It was always good to be able to accept someone back into the family, especially when they had been gone for so long. With the other woman's words, Nina released a small chuckle, nodding her head quickly and mentioning for the woman to make her way forward. ”I have no doubts that you will be an extremely capable adviser to me. I'm so pleased that you have chosen to return, my friend.” she spoke softly, but her voice was filled with happiness that had not been there in awhile.

Knowing that she would have to get back to her other duties soon, she escorted Pakuna around the territory as soon as she could, her body moving easily through the thickets, but stopping every once and awhile to allow the other woman to observe the area around her and keep note of everything....and to make sure that she didn't step on any thorns and prick a side. The Hervok did not need her members getting infections just to a simple, small cut, which could, in the end, result in something much worse. So now in a much lighter mood, Nina and Pakuna caught up as the alpha showed her new subordinate around her home, extremely happy that the gods had given her a reason to smile again.
