Redtail Rise Comeback kid

Saena grinned at Junior's title for Beta. It was hard to imagine anyone other than her sibling being trustworthy enough to fill that position, but someone would present themselves in time. For now, she could enjoy it alone and shoulder all the responsibility and stress of it. She was certainly young enough to handle it.

Motioning for Junior to accompany her, Saena began to make her way back up the ridge, but her pace was slow and leisurely. She had no desire to reach the heights immediately. They could dwell in the forest and talk awhile, or at least until Junior's exhaustion caught up with her. "Gunnar is here," Saena said with a grin, knowing Junior would probably be happy to hear it if she remembered her foster family in the Bay, "and a few other wolves, but I think they're all older than a year. They seem like decent folks though." Lacinia was questionable, but she hadn't given Saena much reason to suspect her of anything aside from being a little bit weird to talk to, so for now, she was as welcome as the others. "About five or six of us total," she concluded.
