The black wolf was a bit dumbfounded, and let out a low growl of agitation. Not towards any of her packmates, but at the situation. She looked to Misty, a wolf who's company was not usually with Ilya. She was sure that Misty was a kind wolf, she'd only never spoken to her one on one. She nodded, vaguely, but was unsure. Was it really not a wolf? There were wolf prints around the cache... It made sense that they were their own but they couldn't rule it out. The other wolf, one that Ilya had never met before in her life, but he seemed to speak with confidence, so Ilya decided that he was alright in her eyes.

Finally, Root, the newest wolf she'd met, arrived. She said nothing, but sat and listened. She nodded to her as she approached before turning to her fellow packmates. Realizing she was the highest rank in the situation, she straightened her shoulders a bit, although was still thinking about the situation.

"You're sure it isn't a wolf?" the black female asked, her tail swishing behind her like a cat. "I don't smell any other animals," she replied, her ears perking as she continued to listen to the world around them. If the thief was still around, it would not have the apprehend. 

"We definitely need to hunt again..." she murmured, a bit upset that they would. She personally preferred fishing after Luke had so kindly taught her how, but fish couldn't feed a whole pack in the winter. "But track it down? I think we need to know what we're up against before we make any rash decisions. I've only noticed tracks and mud, why don't we search the area for any clues of what it was... And if anyone can identify the tracks that would solve a lot of problems." The small wolf felt big for a moment. Still small in body comparison, but being the leading voice while her alphas and Luke were absent... Well she felt almost as important as they were.
