The leaves are going to change.

Pearl could see that Blue was somewhat wary of her. When she reached the shimmering dark blue furred lady, she dipped her head and wagged her tail in a respectful greeting. "I'm Pearl, would you like some help? I used to help my pack healer collect ingredients in the fall, so I know some important herbs." She said carefully and quietly, as not to disturb what Blue was hunting. Pearl thought it strange that she had taken to calling her Blue in her mind, as if she were truly a part of the pack and had known her for some time. However, she had only seen most of the pack in the hunt, and much less spoken to even half of them or knew their names. 

As an afterthought, she added, "I could assist in hunting, also, if you'd like." Healers weren't often renowned hunters in her experience, so she might be of some use to the Beta. She looked around and sniffed the air to try and catch the scent of prey.
