Dawnlark Plains What does this mean?

Dawn was quick to answer her call, leaving Pema little time to worry about that the former co-leader might say. She didn't seem any disagreement or hesitation from Adi, which made her feel as though at least he thought she was making the right choices for the circumstances they were in. When she arrived Adi and Dawn shared a shorted affectionate greeting before Adi set Pema up for the explanation as to why she had called for Dawn.

She looked to Dawn and took a deep breath.  "Day's passing has affected everyone in this pack. But his passing won't just affect the moral of the pack but also the structure of it. Day was the primary leader of this pack and though I was there to help him along the way I fear I am unprepared to take control of the pack all on my own. I will be having my litter soon and will not be able to be around and at the border as a leader should..." she began explaining. "I have asked Adi to help me watch the borders and to patrol the territory while I wean my litter."  now it was time for the question, enough with the explanations, "But we also need to keep in touch with our allies, inform them of the news as well as look for new members. I was hoping that with your past experience as a co-leader and your experience as a scout that you would be willing to help me with that." she said looking to Dawn with a hopeful face.
