Dawnlark Plains What does this mean?

Pema could sense Dawn's sharpness. That's how she always had been in Pema's eyes. She had learned to not take it personally, knowing that more often then not that was how Dawn was. It was part of the reason why she had spoken with Adi first before confiding within his mate. In the past, though they had worked together many times, Pema and Dawn had never truly seen eye to eye about things. Both very close to Day but for almost opposite reasons.

Despite any harshness, Pema was happy to hear that Dawn was willing to step up backing into her old role. It hurt to know that Sunny wouldn't be part of the pack for the time being and suspected it had something to do with Dawn, but she didn't want to pry during this sensitive time. Especially because what Dawn said was true. "Dawn's right. Our numbers have fallen since the beginning of breeding season. Another one of our focuses should be finding more capable wolves for the pack." she stated.

Adi summed everything up and offered his help anywhere it could be used.  "Thank you Adi. I'll keep that in mind." she said before turning her attention to Dawn. "And thank you too." she said simply wanting to express her gratitude.
