The familiar brush against her shoulder was unexpected but not unpleasant. Affectionate exchanges such as those hadn't been a part of her life before, but it seemed she was fitting in a bit better here. Surprise surprise. It seemed she had caught him napping, for he appeared to have just woken up. She didn't say anything, but leaned into the contact, responding to the greeting in a friendly way.

Her attention followed Njal's as a third voice sounded and another figure appeared to join this little party; Bazi. Well, two Betas in one morning. She was moving up in the world, she thought, amused. The white female had come from the same way as Danica, she was surprised she hadn't heard her behind her. Then again, she had been a bit preoccupied by the unfamiliar exploration. "Bazi", she intoned, dipping her head in greeting to the other.

She stifled a snort as Njal yawned directly in Bazi's face. "Oh, you know. Raising hell, taking names." Danica looked at the trees. "Starting all sorts of trouble." Sometimes wolves had a hard time knowing when she was joking, and she figured so early on wasn't a good time to take chances. "Seriously though, trying to map out the territory. Isn't much good if I don't know where things are."
