Silvertip Mountain I wasn't in Vienna

Niita beamed as he spoke, happy that it hadn't been a snap decision and that Steady actually had wanted to be her mate. It would've made her question their relationship if Steady decided to just ask her impulsively one day. "Thanks." Niita replied cheerfully, her mirth vanishing as Zeke brought up how sad Steady would be with her gone.

Her ears flattened and her tail stop its wagging, her brows furrowing slightly in confusion. "I knew he would miss me, I'm going to miss him as well,  but I'm not leaving him or anything." It was a curious choice of words, Niita would be back in a few days.

"I can't just sit around and be useless, I want to help the pack and becoming a Scout is a good way to. I know I haven't exactly been around a lot but I was looking for the pups. That counts for something, right?" The last bit was an anxious mumble, concerned that she was being a bad pack member by being gone so much.
