After the attack, things happened quickly. Ibis didn't really know what was going on, but she knew a change had occurred. She felt it in herself on some level, having been changed by the panic and the chaos that had ensued after the cat had come for her. The girl was too young to realize the danger of what had transpired — but she and @Okeanos had been taken away after that, brought to a new place with strong smells. She remembered squirming as she was carried by the nape, and then an all-consuming sleep took hold of her.

When she woke, she was in this new place. It was dark and it was warm. Images of the cat had all but vanished from her malleable mind and yet, she felt a nervousness that could not be identified. Eager to find comfort, Ibis sought her brother — but the body she squished against was the wrong color, the wrong smell, and while she enjoyed the presence she was also confused by it. After a few moments of jostling to get comfortable, she finally gave up and rolled away from the sleeping stranger.

Her tired eyes looked around in the dark for her mother and when she couldn't find her, she began to whine softly to herself. This change was too much and she did not like it at all.

They were doing their best, but Ibis could not be calmed. She wiggled about with her head up and expression mournful as she sought her mother or father - granted the sound of Rannochs deep voice soothed her a little, it was still a foreign sound from an equally foreign body.

After a moment of indecision her calls picked up in volume, likely disturbing other children but at the moment she was being selfish and wanting; she called out for her mother, See-bee! See-bee! Maaamaaa 'bee!

Things were happening all around her, and Wisp stayed at the back of the den, pressed timidly against the wall, and quietly watched.

Only recently had her ears lifted off her scalp. Once again, she was the slowest of her siblings in this regard. Her hearing had improved significantly as they grew stronger, and now they were fully erect and she could hear almost perfectly. This change hadn't bothered her as much as opening her eyes did, but there were still good days and bad days for Wisteria. Sometimes the sounds of her siblings and the commotion of the den were too much for her and she would retreat, while other times the sound of her mother or father talking lulled her to sleep.

Two more pups had been brought into their life, causing Wisp to shy away more than usual. Her siblings got attention from her when she was in the mood to seek attention herself, but these new kids were strangers, and she hadn't yet welcomed them into her life. While Breccan greeted them with enthusiasm, the silent Wisp, who had yet to make any vocalization besides the usual whines and whimpers, watched uncertainly from the den's shadows. All the while, her tail tapped against the ground beside her left hind foot, distracting her from feeling overwhelmed by the change.

The arrival of Okeanos was a small comfort, but she leaned in to him when he came up beside her and felt a little more calm as a result. Her nervousness is likely a displacement of fears from the previous hours; the girl still feels the cat's presense and her mind is working through the strange and traumatic moment of chaos that ensued. If she cannot have her mother then she will bask in the presence of Okeanos and it will have to do — but she loves her brother, so Ibis does eventually quiet down. She is still nervous, still scrutinizing the other children, and even casts a doubtful look at Rannoch when he mentions a game, but for the time being her voice has been tamed. Ibis doesn't respond to the adult, except to watch him and to pout needlessly.
