ever since the encounter with the dark-pelted brute, crëyr hadn't been wandering far from the bypass. she had also recently scented a lot of new smells around in pack territory— there was a lot of new members, and she didn't think she had gotten round to meeting all of them just yet.

for now, she tailed a hare around a shrub or two, following it as it scampered around a tree. her cerulean eyes trailed the rabbit as it hid under a bush, and began to brainstorm about all the methods of coax it out.

a foreign scent entered her nares just as the rabbit scampered away. she shrugged it off, knowing there were to be more hares to come.

crëyr turned to the pale girl who had just greeted her, her tail waving like a banner. she seemed shy, and the grayscale female aimed towards making all her packmates feel at ease with each other, so she responded with a jovial greeting of her own. "hi! are you new around here?

the female smiled, saying yes once she inquired her if she was a newcomer. following that was a question about if she was one of the authority figures around, which led crëyr to be slightly surprised. she could right away tell that she was a beta, just judging by the waving of her tail?

"yeah, i'm crëyr, and the beta around here, along with my friend, flash," she spoke, still slightly perplexed. "so you're settling alright around here?" some newcomers occasionally needed help with finding a den and with the familiarity of their landscapes and surroundings, and crëyr had already helped quite a few over the past two weeks or so.

she seated herself comfortably before the white-furred female, wrapping her silvery tail around around her paws. after that tanya then stated how she was doing very well, though she hadn't met any other members of the bypass just yet.

the grayscale wolfess beamed. "awesome! good to hear, tanya. so do you wanna do anything fun, to get you even more oriented around here? we could go for a hunt, or some border patrol. or a little dip at my favorite lake. we could even bump into someone along the way!"

coming to sit next to her, the turquoise-eyed girl then proceeded to express her excitement for meeting everyone else in the pack. crëyr smiled, glad to have an enthusiastic one around.

she wasn't even sure if she had met everyone in the pack herself, as the bypass seemed to already be bursting at the seams. they were once again, thriving, as it had been sometime earlier when paar was still here, and the sterling outrider was glad.

crëyr laughed. "of course i did! i think i'm close to have met everyone in the pack, since we seem to have a lot of new members lately. come on, let's go!" and with that, she beckoned tanya to follow, leading her onto the usual new packmate tour of the bypass.

"we can follow de spirituum creek," she spoke as she neared the river that cut through silva stellarum.

tanya seemed to be excited and enthusiastic to start the tour and to get to know the pack, and crëyr was also ecstatic. she began to show her around the bypass, pointing out the places she loved.

it wasn't long before she finished the tour with tanya. bidding her a farewell and a "see you around", the sterling female departed, a bounce in her stride.
