Fast doesn't always win (IC Joining)

"Mmmm?" Saena voiced, roused from an ever-deepening sleep by a nudge to the side of her neck. Her eyes opened just a crack to see Reek—a sight that always made her heart skip a beat, at least lately—already rousing himself. He stirred beside her and she reached out a muddy paw, planted it square against his face and groaned, "nooo." Napping at midday was one of Saena's staple routines and he was disrupting it, damnit!

But she knew she had to go. Even though she laid there a minute longer like a lump, the Redtail eventually blinked back the brightness of the day and followed him out into the waterfall that curtained their new home. While getting soaked immediately after a nap was not exactly the alpha female's favourite thing to do, the cold water did serve to wake her up. In fact, she emerged on the shore sputtering and gasping from the temperature shock. Before she could even finish shaking off, the new crowned alpha male was heading to the borders, leaving his young beau to follow him at a brisk pace.

Their visitor was a wolf who was both compact and powerful. Saena could tell that immediately from her appearance. Ivy was a little taller than she, and muscular where the alpha was femininely curved. Reek was far more composed and awake by now than his fellow leader, who murmured a groggy, "hullo," while trying very hard not to yawn in the lone wolf's face. She did shake her head and stand up straighter, and even managed to ask, "how're you?" before her body began to sag sleepily once again.
