Redtail Rise the unexpected

Zephyr trembled slightly, from both the story telling and the excitement of having Rana here. It was a lot to the ebony male, even though there was always a possibility someone from the pack ran into him. There were survivors, after all, some split from the mountains away from him.. Would he one day see his eldest again one day? Had she has pups of her own.... Had she survived? He didn't expect Rana to hurt over the pups, they'd been born just a week before the flood. The beta hadn't known them outside Rinda. 
Rana apologized, nuzzled him, told her own story. Itd been a long time since hed felt her strength, been able to lean against her. He licked her shoulder softly, relishing in her comforting scent. The things shed helped him through, talked him through, supported him through.... It seemed that she'd been lucky enough to survive it all so far, as he had. 
            "I'm glad the two of us were survivors, be it from luck or skill. If nobody else could survive.... Well, I'm glad I have something familiar in this new world. It gives me hope for a new future."
