AW! But she's on her way to the pup's den, so someone can either intercept her, or it can be PPed that she arrived.

With a rather ungraceful grunt, the swarthy female dropped the pheasant in to the cache, her eyes narrowing as the little bugger fell in to the shadows of the hole. It had been quite the capture in the end, brinking upon near failure – but luck had found its way to the newly acclaimed Valley wolf, and her meal had taken a wrong turn.. one that had solidified its death when her jaws had found their grip.
 
She paused momentarily, her eyes drifting back up. There was a female in Bearclaw Valley whom was pregnant – of that she knew. Vega had kept herself from the political debate of matters, but it had become quite obvious that Raziel had risen to the top – and even more obvious that unless she began to integrate herself among her pack members, then she would fail him.
 
No doubt, the bird would make a fine meal for the mother and her cubs, and so, releasing a gentle chuff, Vega bent her muzzle down, scooping the bird out of the dirt once more. Her dark paws began to lead her in the direction of Scarlett’s den – though she wasn’t even sure anyone would be home right now.

Scarlett liked to have her kids play outside with this great summer weather. It was difficult not to doze off at times with the pleasant sun shining down on her pale coat. Her kids were a month now, close, one more day. They were starting to walk and babble cute little things. Her attention was of vital importance because she didn't want her young to wander too far. She liked to keep them close to the den. If they wandered too far she would place them in time out inside the den. She had made sure the ridge to the exit was just too high for them to climb. But for now they were all good. Nanook and Sesi were snuggled up together, looking really cute. Xan enjoyed one of his last meals from the milkbar Scarlett had. She often nudged them away because their teeth were unpleasant and hurtful. Scarlett had decided that within this week she would have fully switched them to the meat she would chew for them.

The red eyed female looked up when she heard something, instantly alert. Her nose registered someone that she wasn't familiar with. But then she remembered that Raziel mentioned something about a new member. Vega, yes. She remembered. It helped that she was carrying a bird. Scarlett happened to be hungry. She noticed her babies looking curiously at the new member. Desna looked up and tipped her head looking adorable. Then she walked, half jumped forward, let out yips. Scarlett wasn't sure if she was defending her mother or just saw this new wolf as someone to play with. Whatever Desna's motives, she looked terribly cute. "Hello," she greeted. "Vega was it?," she checked to be sure.

Desna had been in time out several times by now. There was so much to explore and to sniff out! She was often retrieved by her mother, though now her brother was drinking she saw it as the perfect opportunity to check out the bushes over there. Her dark eyes looked up curiously when they started to move. She froze on her spot, a bit unsure. What if it was a monster?? Once a darker female approached she topped her head. She had the same coat color as her!!! Desna studied her before deciding to greet this wolf that looked a bit like her.

She jumped forward, clearly excited which she expressed with her yips. Her mother wasn't defensive so she decided that it was totally safe to jump this individual. She turned to her mommy when she spoke. Desna then sunk her teeth in the front paw of the dark furred female that came to visit them. She didn't mean to hurt. She would definitely need a taste test! So next time she would know if this was the same female. Her tail was wagging like crazy. As she looked up her eyes fell on the thing in the other's mouth. She wanted it!! She let go of her leg and yipped demandingly. Want! Want!

What her mother assumed to be curiosity was, in Sesi's case, a deep-seated suspicion with a healthy sprinkle of dismay. A new face had appeared at the mouth of the den, carrying some second unknown thing in its mouth. It smelled divine, but Sesi was not going to be let herself be fooled. The silvery girl looked on from her hiding place behind in the darkness, watching Desna fling herself towards the beastly intruder without any thought for her own safety - a habit that flabbergasted her sister, who approached every new thing as though it had the capacity to kill her. The dark pup was biting the foreign wolf, welcoming all sorts of fluff and grossness into her mouth.

Sesi felt a the swell of nausea seize her belly, and before she could do anything about it, a stream of milky vomit splattered onto the floor, soaking her mother's white tail.

There was a welcoming committee it would seem. Vega’s eyes traced over the pale she-wolf who came from the den – her eyes a brilliant hue that resembled the crimson leaves of the trees in autumn. She was beautiful, and for a second, Vega felt inadequate in her wake.
 
Yet kindness was apparent, and as Scarlett spoke, the slender female gave a nod, dropping the bird and nudging it in the direction of the regal lady. “Yes,” she spoke, her eyes now drifting to the puppy that revealed a bravado not seen very often. Vega held no claim to being good with children, but she did not dislike them. “I heard you had little ones and thought you might be hungry,” she murmured, her eyes watching Scarlett for any signs of apprehension that there was a stranger around her babies before lowering her muzzle, allowing Desna to poke and prod at her.
 
One ear flickered at the sound of a heaving stomach, and when the smell of soured milk filtered to her nose, her eyes would drift to the puppy of silver, who had promptly emptied her stomach’s contents on her mother’s tail. “Is this a bad time?”

Scarlett watched how her fearless daughter walked up at the stranger and chomped down on her paw. She was a bit surprised but it was good to know that Desna was not wary of new things like Sesi was. Her blood red eyes turned to the gift Vega brought with her. Oh yes! She liked a meal, yet before she could respond Sesi decided that the milk in his stomach had to leave. Scarlett jumped up, and feeling slightly embarrassed. "No! Not a bad time," she let out, feeling flushed. "It is very kind of you to bring me food. Thank you," she smiled. She wanted to wag her tail but she had to remind herself that it was covered in vomit.

She grabbed Sesi and placed her by the mouth of the den, licking her clean for a moment. Luckily there was a stream close by her den, only a few paces so she was quick to clean herself by sitting down and nudging at her tail. Scarlett watched how Desna seemed to show interest in the bird Vega brought. The feathers would make nice toys to play with. Scarlett smiled at that idea. "Thank you for coming by! I am so sorry for not meeting you at the borders but I couldn't leave the little ones," she explained. Scarlett was so kind, and she was always open to make new friends. "I'm also very happy that you joined our pack! Hopefully you will feel at home here."

Scarlett gently took the gift Vega had gotten her and plucked some feathers out of the bird and placed them before Sesi and Desna. She peeked inside the den for a moment. The other two little ones were still having their nap. Scarlett laid down and glanced at Vega. "Are you settling in well?"

Desna looked with wide eyes at the bird in the other's mouth. She didn't see it as food just yet, but she did see it as a super cool thing to jump and play with. She watched her mother walk away from the den for a moment. Instantly the pup was a bit more tense as she saw her mother sit in the stream of scentless pee. She had not been allowed to check that out yet, not that Desna was interested in this scentless pee. But she watched her mother go in it. Even though she could still see her mother she disliked that she was a bit further away. When she returned Desna's attention was directed towards her mother. She jumped towards her with a yip.

Desna watched as her mother took the thing! The thing! She wanted it!! Desna jumped around and instantly jumped the feathers her mother placed before her. Yay! Instantly the plump puppy jumped on top of the feathers. She tried to bite them but after she did that Desna realised that they would stick to one's tongue. Now it was all stuck in her mouth, giving her an adorable look. She tried to spit the feather back on the ground but it wasn't going that swimmingly. This would keep her busy for awhile. She had to win from this feather! She was the boss!

The ivory she-wolf far surpassed a friendly face – it would later bring the swarthy female to a loss when she would recall the sharp request she would receive when the den would flood in the storm. For now, though.. it was a pleasant surprise.
 
Her eyes followed the puppy’s antics, feeling her heart melt at the sight. She had never felt the desire to have her own litter, but that did not mean she didn’t like other kids. The inky little girl was no exception to innocence and mischief, and Vega’s gaze was only pulled upward once more when Scarlett asked how she was settling in.
 
Bearclaw Valley did not feel like home – but she was working to remedy this. “I’m becoming familiar with the land,” she finally offered, evading the question fully in terms of ‘settling in.’  Scarlett was the only other pack member she had met aside from Kove and Raziel.. and how quickly the hierarchy had shifted since she had joined.

Scarlett nodded kindly when Vega returned some words back to her. They weren't many but they said enough, plus the gesture of her bringing a bird was also really nice. She decided that she liked Vega. The mother chuckled softly as she watched Desna battle the feathers from the bird. It looked really cute. The red eyed female plucked more feathers from it before sinking her teeth into it. "Thank you once again," she smiled. Very grateful for the food, nursing made her really hungry.

"Well I wish you all the best with that exploring. Did you meet Arthur the bear yet? He is nice, or can be nice," she spoke to make the conversation. She wasn't sure how interested the other female was about a bear. Some were, like Damien, and some rather avoided the bear. Scarlett thought of him as good company. That was for sure.

Desna was still battling the feathers, almost being in her own world. She wasn't paying attention to what the adults were talking about. She wanted to be master of the feathers. She wanted to be boss! She wasn't really succeeding because there were more and more feathers appearing. She tried to attack them all. Some were way longer than the others!!! Desna also realized that they were really soft. Once she managed to spit out some of them she made them into a big pile and jumped on top of it. She giggled cutely in the process.

The feathers moved up in the air, the non bitten ones that is. She sneezed and then rolled to the feathers, some sticking through her fur because her saliva was on it. The girl only giggled more. She liked to play with the feathers a lot.

The dark pup continued to plat – taken with the feathers her mother plucked from the bird. Vega canted her muzzle at Scarlett’s words, giving a shake of her muzzle. They had a local bear…? The thought was not an appealing one to the swarthy she-wolf, but if the beast was on good terms with the pack, then she supposed it could be worse.
 
“No, I haven’t,” she offered then, pulling herself back in to a stretch before giving a nod. It wasn’t that she didn’t want the company of the ivory female, but she also had only stopped by to offer the mother and her cubs a meal.. her mind was more at ease when she had a task at hand. “I should go back to the borders and do another sweep,” she mentioned, giving a nod to the Beta.

Scarlett nodded softly when the darker girl spoke about not meeting the bear yet. It was alright. Maybe Arthur was going somewhere else or just had been sleeping. That could be. She wasn't sure what happened to him after the storm. Maybe something happened to him? She wasn't sure. Maybe she should go look for him when she had some free time.

"Do what you must do. I will see you around," she spoke and wished her goodbye. She watched her cute daughter playing with the feathers she was plucking from the bird. The mother chuckled as the pup was close to being covered by them. Her giggles were so cute!

Desna played and played with he feathers. She wasn't really paying attention to the adults. She liked the feathers much more. The dark girl rolled around and 'hunted' the feathers. Why weren't her siblings here? This was so much fun!!! The girl excitedly jumped around. Eventually she grew tired. She pup waddled to her mommy as she was overcome with sleep within seconds. Such things happened to babies after all. She passed out on her way to her mommy. Though luckily her mommy lifted her up and tugged her against her warm belly.

The mother and daughter continued their day, and without waiting, the swarthy female gave a quick nod. Her eyes swept over the two, envious of the happiness that spurned from both, and yet only more solidified in her desire to find a pack that felt like home. She spoke nothing else, and Vega was soon making her way back to the borders, her pace quickening the moment the Beta female and her daughter were gone from her sight.
