Jade Fern Grove nevermore

Wohoo! :D Feel free to do whatever you want with our lil' NPC here.

Haven greeted her pleasantly. Bazi assumd alpha posture out of habit, forgetting that she had stepped down and wondering how long that decision would last. Leadership was like an old pair of shoes now, and she missed it in moments like this.

Haven took the lead in investigating the smelly den without having to be asked. Bazi followed, moving like a cat on its first outing in a new garden. "It smells like someone's been using it as their toilet," she commented, wrinkling her nose. As a new mother, Bazi had spent an enormous amount of time cleaning up after her tiny children's bowels. Whoever owned this den had not done the same.

"Bazi, look!" The Gamma crept forward, straining her eyes in the direction the new recruit was indicating. The tip of Haven's short tail tickled her cheek, and she moved forward until the two females were level, both staring at the moving bundle.

Just then, a tiny little paw extended up from the straw, catching a ribbon of light between its grubby little toes. It was the last thing the tiny, malnourished scrap of a wolf tot would accomplish - its final breath was loud enough for everyone in the cave to hear.
